50/50 – Silver 50/50 – Purple Slush VG/PG Ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild (3mg/ml) VG/PG Ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling (3mg/ml) Silver is IVG’s take on a sweet honey tobacco. This is a fairly straight- forward tobacco blend but that’s no bad thing. A distinct honey is the top note here. It’s more akin to a honey syrup than an authentic honey but it’s still pleasant and sticky, adding some nice body to the profi le. This is complemented by a moderately dark tobacco, which has a mild smokiness, along with hints of wood and sweet aromatics. I see this as a good option for newer vapers looking for a sweet tobacco that’s not completely a dessert blend. IVG describe Purple Slush as a blend of grape, bubblegum, lime and coolant. Concord grape is the dominant note for me. It’s rich, sticky and sweet, exactly as you would expect from an American-style grape candy. This is complemented by a milder bubblegum base, reminiscent of IVG’s highly popular bubblegum profi le. A light citrus tang contrasts with the rest of the fruits and helps enhance the grape with some brighter notes. The profi le is fi nished with a subtle coolant, which keeps things light. An interesting fruit mix. 50/50 – Neon Lime 50/50 – Strawberry Sensation VG/PG Ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling (3mg/ml) VG/PG Ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling (3mg/ml) Described as a blend of lemon and lime, with a cooling kick. Interestingly, lemon is the dominant flavour here to me. It’s sweet and very bright, almost spot on to the flavour of lemon hard candy, rather than a more natural lemonade or lemon curd flavour. This is complemented by a moderate lime, which gives the profi le even more tartness but not to an overbearing extent. A mild coolant rounds off the mix and makes for a simple but refreshing candy fruit vape. Another simple fruit and mint profi le from IVG. An intense candy strawberry takes centre stage in this one. It’s very bright and sweet with a substantial sticky body. I can’t quite put my fi nger on it but this strawberry is even more “candied” than what you might usually expect from an e-liquid. This top note is contrasted by a light mint coolant, which stops it from becoming cloying or sickly sweet. A basic profi le that should be ideal for new vapers. 50/50 – Spearmint VG/PG Ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling (3mg/ml) Though this blend is simply called Spearmint, there’s more here than meets the eye. Spearmint is, of course, the main note and it’s quite loud. It has plenty of sweetness and moderate herbal notes, leaning more towards a spearmint candy than a true herbal mint. This is supported by IVG’s popular bubblegum base. Though this is slightly less forward than usual, it still amps up the sweetness and adds further candy connotations to the mix, along with mild fruit medley notes. A simple but refreshing candy vape.
