Blue Rasp Lemonade

Bright, bold and devilishly delectable, this sweet lemonade flavour was a real treat to try.

Melting the boundaries between sweet and sour, this e-liquid is complex and extremely well rounded.

I found that the blue raspberry element exuded a recognisable candy like vibe, having an intriguing but very much appreciated sugary undertone.

The sweetness offered by the blue raspberry is neatly offset by the swift burst of tart citrus, with an added touch of effervescence to boost the refreshing feel of this flavour.

I really enjoyed Wick Addiction’s careful input on this e-liquid, and it is certainly one of the best blue raspberry flavours I have tried over the years.

Apple Blueberry

Rather unique in nature, the combination of tart green apple and mellow blueberry was one I had yet to come across in my time as a vaper.

As I stated earlier, the notes of apple presented a set of crisp, sour and intricately proportioned flavours.

The softer blueberry layer kind of calmed down the more prominent apple, but still brought a level of sweetness to the table.

Due to this e-liquids simple but effective taste, it was super easy to vape without becoming overwhelmed or bored with the flavour over time.

It was a wonderful breath of fresh air when it comes to trying out a new flavour, and I am impressed by just how well it performed.

Cherry Cola

A flavour made in heaven, cherry cola is one of the most widely known and appreciated profiles out there.

This one combines the bright and deeply distinguishable taste of cola, mixed with a dash of fizziness and a wave of smooth sweetness.

Notes of cherry soon take over and give a soft nudge to the cola elements.

I felt that the flavour of this e-liquid seemed to be inspired more so by cherry cola bottle candies, rather than the beverage, due to its effervescent, sweet and intensely sour nature.

In that respect, Wick Addiction has completely smashed it and has created an extremely lifelike flavour many will enjoy.

Raspberry Rhubarb

Another e-liquid that is not often encountered in the vape industry as of late, this delicate and floral flavour offers a pleasant and relaxed vaping experience.

Notes of rhubarb definitely take centre stage and give off a sweet and tangy aroma.

To me, it represented a somewhat botanical vibe, with no acidic or bitter aftertaste.

The addition of a mellow and shy raspberry gave an extra edge to the overall flavour, making a fantastically well rounded and easy to enjoy e-liquid.

I really fell in love with the carefully concocted proportions in this e-liquid and felt that a lot of thought went into this flavour.

Rainbow Candy

Clearly inspired by the iconic, brightly coloured candies, this flavour boasts realism and delectability all in one.

It incorporates a set of fruity flavours, combined with both sweet and sour modalities simultaneously.

The deep sweetness of this flavour is the key to its success and gives this e-liquid its instantly recognisable taste.

Despite its rich blend of fruity elements and its pronounced sweet nature, I found it exceedingly easy to vape and not once did I feel bored, overwhelmed or disappointed whilst puffing away.

There seemed to be just the smallest touch of cooling right when exhaling, something that is rather common within the vape industry right now - and something that was very much welcomed.

Lemon Meringue

Now time for an incredible dessert inspired e-liquid, this flavour knocks it out of the park.

Bright and citrusy lemon curd provides the top layer of this e-liquid, and regardless of its prominent lemon vibe, was not at all tart or sour.

Following the bold lemon, comes a velvety smooth and fluffy creaminess.

The way that the lemon and cream interacted was mutually symbiotic in nature as they each offered one another a complimentary edge.

To round up the two busier profiles, a warm and crumbly pastry base brings about a solid and consistent flavour that seals the overall taste up nicely.

Words:

Coconut Milk

Kicking things off with one of the more uniquely fascinating tastes, this smorgasbord of flavours presents vapers with a perfect chance to try something new and rather unheard of. First and foremost, you will likely notice a sweet, easily recognisable and deeply exotic coconut base, of which is incredibly lifelike. It seems to carry a luscious and velvety smooth creaminess to it that amplifies the relaxed and enjoyable flavour. I did notice a very small amount of icy cooling agent to it, enough to compliment the other elements, without taking over and potentially ruining the flavour. It’s safe to say I had yet to come across this combination and was pleasantly impressed by the overall experience.

Watermelon Ice

One of the more popular profiles right now, especially so for disposables, watermelon ice is easily crowned as one of the favourites worldwide. With this particular instalment, vapers are able to enjoy a consistent and reliable set of fruity, tropical flavours for a long period of no time with little to no flavour dissipation. The notes of watermelon are bright and punchy and have that idiosyncratic candy-like vibe. As suggested by this flavours name, there is a substantial amount of cooling agent to this disposable, making it a perfect ‘go to’ for vapers that are seeking refreshment and intense flavour. This was certainly one of the better watermelon ice disposables I have tried recently.

Mint Cream

Combining polar opposites, this disposable turns typical minty flavours on their head. Initially, there is a sweet blend of peppermint that presents itself spectacularly. To further compliment the smoothness, comes a calming and almost stereotypical creaminess. To follow on from the mint/cream interaction, comes a subtle but still noticeable undertow of icy cooling, that brightens up the entire flavour a notch. I felt that the way KIWI decided to combine two vastly different elements made for an incredibly enjoyable vaping experience and despite not being a huge fan of mint vapes, I really appreciated this flavour.

Tangerine Ice

Less sweet when compared to other citrus flavours such as orange or even lemon, the decision to create a slightly more unusual tangerine inspired flavour was a stroke of pure genius. Notes of somewhat mild sourness seem to envelope the overall taste, with very little in the way of sweetness. I found that the almost pulpy tangerine taste performed strikingly well alongside the intense iciness that was most noticeable when exhaling. I have tried plenty of orange flavours, and probably even more lemon ones over the years, but the chance to enjoy a tangerine one was definitely a wonderful opportunity that I’m glad I could have.

I feel like coffee-based flavours are making somewhat of a resurgence as of late and with hundreds of variations, it can be both overwhelming and tricky to find a decent one - all depending on personal preferences. Bridging the gap between creamy and cold, the way that this disposable was crafted demonstrated plenty of research and care. The latte element brings about a luscious, velvety and, quite frankly, earthy base with a milky, frothy overtone we can all appreciate. Compounding the mild, creamy and easily recognisable coffee base, comes a swift and intense iciness that gives the flavour a bit of a kick. To me, this kind of implied an iced coffee vibe and thus provided a refreshing and enjoyable experience - especially on a hot day.

Mango Ice

Another firm favourite within the vape industry currently, this particular flavour boasts a collection of fruity tastes and a cold exhale. A mixture of sour green mango and sweet, juicy, yellow mango combines to offer vapers a blend of sweet and tangy modalities, and the incredible way that the two bounce off of one another is complex and easy to enjoy. The mango, to me, tasted realistic and gave off an aura of the tropics, and had an almost pulpy texture. Adding a rich undertone of iciness simply exacerbated the refreshing and exotic feel to this disposable. I would highly recommend this flavour to people that enjoy intense and powerful fruit vapes.
