Summer E-liquid: Mango, Watermelon, Coconut and Strawberry

by - 12:47 pm - 23rd, 2013

Onto another 4 e-liquids to try, and this time I’ve gone for a quartet of summer flavours as the sun is shining and I’m in a summery mood! Again, am loving the sealed bottles with warning labels on and the needle tip like tip on the bottle!

First in the quartet is Mango!

Mango

Mangalicious, mouthwateringly juicy vape!

As soon as you open the bottle you get that smack of mango sweetness, like a piece of mango open and ready to be eaten. I’m not such a fan of mango if I’m completely honest, but I won’t let my tastes affect how the flavour is in this e-liquid! The e-liquid is slightly pink in colour, and it smells divine as you open it, without any of the chemical harshness that can plague fruity flavours. When you taste it, there’s this hint of tropical fruitiness that might just be the mango, but there’s no chemical aftertaste which is really good. It tastes refreshing, not too strong, not too sweet, definitely hints of summer if you vape this near the sun that seems to be streaming in my window!

 

Watermelon

Summer watermelon, one of the most refreshing vapes around!

Carrying on with my tropical/summer theme, next we have some lovely watermelon e-liquid. Now, I’m really impressed with Mist as all their fruit flavour e-liquid seems not to be plagued by the chemical aftertaste that seems to be in so many flavours recently.

This is a really melony/lemony flavour, strangely it has a hint of the tartness of a lemon or of a citrus e-liquid, but this doesn’t come through in the flavour at all. It’s a slap in the face by a slice of watermelon, with the tartness and sweetness perfectly combined. It actually feels like you’re actually eating a slice of watermelon instead of just vaping it. It’s a very strange flavour to try and describe, as, with all flavours, its going to taste different for everyone. But there is definitely a smack of watermelon in it, and none of the chemical aftertaste.

 

Coconut

This will send you coco-nuts! Absolutely bonkers coconut vape! Tobacco with a magic touch!

Now, I’m not much of a fan of coconut on it’s own, but I am wondering whether this e-liquid will taste of coconut, or coconut milk, or whether it’ll taste like a Bounty. To be truthful, when you smell it, it reminds me of coconut oil or of coconut shower gel! 

Weirdly (or not), considering the flavour…..it’s quite disgusting! To me, it tastes like I’ve been drinking coconut shower gel, it’s nutty, its slightly sweet and milky, but….it’s gross! Its taste lingers on the tongue and not in a good way. I guess if you like coconut this would be really nice, or to mix with chocolate to get a Bounty-like flavour it’d be nice, but on it’s own……yeuch!

 

Strawberry

Delicious, succulent strawberry E Liquid excellence!

Onto one of the most summery and evocative flavours of all – strawberry. Now, I don’t like strawberries as a rule, but I DO like strawberry e-liquid, strange as it may seem. But I’m still looking for a perfect one that could be matched with a vanilla or ice-cream flavour to make the perfect summer flavour – strawberries and cream/ice cream. So I have high hopes for this e-liquid.

As soon as you smell this, it smells of strawberries, and reminds me of strawberry jam, or the strawberry compote you get in yoghurt. It’s a really nice tasting e-liquid, sweet and slightly sour strawberry-like, no chemical taste in there. It’s also subtle, so it doesn’t smack you in the face, but lingers on the tongue and in the vape. It’s got that jam-like sweetness and the slight tartness of the pips and skin, but it’s a very refreshing flavour. If you want to mix it, you’d need to mix with another subtle not-so-strong flavour or it would be overwhelmed by the other e-liquid. This is lovely, subtle and sweet, but reminiscent of spring and summer. 

 

E-liquid Review: Arctic Frost, Juicy Peach and Magic Mix

by - 12:08 pm - 23rd, 2013

Arctic Frost

Freeze your mouth off with this wintery vape! If you like menthol this is one to watch!

Now, this is another Mist flavour I’ve only just had the chance to try, and as all of them do, they have childproof caps and a plastic coating. I especially like the ‘made on’ and ‘expired on’ dates – it helps to let you know when you can use it.

From opening the bottle, to putting the e-liquid into the clearo/atomiser, it smells of mint/menthol and isn’t too overpowering. From first vape, you get a blast of minty menthol that sits on the tongue and coats the mouth in minty menthol goodness. It’s not too strong, so it doesn’t blast the back of the throat, but it does have a distinct mint flavour that’s really nice and not too overpowering, which can be a bad point with most mint blast menthols, but this has the balance perfectly, not too strong, not too weak. This is an e-liquid if you love mint, but don’t want an overpowering mouthwash taste lingering, it’s like eating Polos or mint imperials. There’s not much of a throat hit, which is nice, but there is little bite at the back of the throat with the menthol

 

Juicy Peach

Nothing like it! This Juicy Peach e liquid is a sure fire winner!

So, another flavour to be trying. I’ve not really tried peach flavours before so, to be honest, I’m not exactly sure what to expect. Do I expect the juicy sweetness of a peach in an e-liquid, or do I expect something else?

On first smell, it appears to be good! It smells like a juicy, ripe peach with a bite taken out of it and the sweetness of the juice is there without the stickiness of the fruit! Instead of a chemical taste as happens so much with fruit, there is a pure sweetness and peachy flavour, not a chemical aftertaste in sight. It tastes like biting into a peach and having the juice flow into your mouth, it’s so sweet and tangy and peach-like. There’s not much of a throat hit with the e-,liquid, which is really nice, it’s just the sweet, slightly tart, peach-like flavour bursting across your tastebuds.

 

Magic Mix

Wow, This e liquid really is magic! Tobacco with a magic touch!

So, this is the magic mix. But what IS Magic Mix? What IS that secret flavour popped with the tobacco that makes this so magic?

It’s got that sharp, slightly woody tobacco scent as you open the bottle and fill up the atty/carto (using Bud atties for these tests) with the e-liquid.  Weirdly for Mist bottles, this one actually has a small needle tip in the top so it can be used so much more easily, and is a lot more durable than the small plastic needle tip bottles that can be cut/damaged so easily. But I’ve not seen another Mist e-liquid bottle like this….so it might be a special! So, onto the Magic Mix flavours…

It’s got that hit of tobacco immediately, with a slight chocolate/caramel undertone which slightly sweetens and lowers the woody acridness. There’s also another flavour, under the woody tobacco and the more than slight sweetness and this is really nice in a tobacco e-liquid, as it removes the taste of wet ashtray and makes it more palatable if you’re not much of a tobacco lover, this might just change your mind. It’s a really easy vape, with an almost pipe tobacco flavour, it’s definitely different and it’s one e-liquid that will divide opinion.

 

 

 

A bit like Marmite.
