All too often, peppermint flavoured e-liquids
can present as being overly harsh or artificial.
However, IVG has completely redefined
peppermint flavoured bubblegum e-liquids
with this one. There is a rather calming
sweetness to accompany the more potent
peppermint notes, helping create a more
balanced and well-rounded flavour. The biting
peppermint is extremely noticeable when
inhaling, and you will probably experience
a cold sensation in your sinuses, due to the
cooling effect of this e-liquid. The subtle
sweetness picks up around the time that
you begin to exhale and reaffirms a well
calculated complementary flavour. The main
thing I appreciated with this e-liquid, was
the fact that the peppermint did not come
across as artificial or having an unusual
aftertaste. This e-liquid from IVG is rather unique in the
fact that it is bubblegum cinnamon, rather
than the typical dessert cinnamon found
in a lot of e-liquids on the market right now.
From the moment you begin to inhale this
delicious flavour, you will notice a biting, sour
and spicy cinnamon candy that will knock
you off of your feet. The cinnamon leaves
a tingling sensation on your tongue, until
you begin to exhale, where notes of mild,
minty gum accompany the sharp cinnamon,
accentuating both flavours at the same time.
The minty gum aspect brings the powerful
cinnamon down a notch or two, but I felt that
this was a good thing, as the two main flavour
elements work together incredibly well. The
aftertaste is decent and consists mainly of the
hot cinnamon, leaving a delectable, mouth-
watering flavour in your mouth.
Strawberry Watermelon Gum
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Minimal
Throat hit: Moderate
A very admirable attempt at creating such a
delicious and well-rounded fruity gum flavour.
Upon inhaling, you begin to appreciate a
smooth and sweet strawberry, that soon
morphs into a juicy and succulent watermelon
candy. The intensely refreshing fruit elements
in this e-liquid are further emphasised by a
cooler, minty undertone. The mint brings all
of the flavours together, and you can really
notice how well they mix and work with one
another, rather than tasting them as separate,
unjointed flavour elements. I found that this
was one of the most flavoursome, fruity
gum e-liquids I have tried, and the powerful
flavours reiterated just how well this e-liquid
was created. This flavour will appeal to a wide
range of vapers, due to its fruity and minty
nature.
