CANDY JACK- Greeneo
VG/PG ratio: 50/50 | Throat hit: Moderate
Candy Jack is based on a cannabis strain
of the same name. In the manufacturer’s
words it’s designed to be the “perfect balance
between softness, acidity and potency.” There
seems to be some flavouring in addition to
the CBD blend here. From what I can tell it
is a simple hard candy top note, but it blends
so seamlessly with the CBD base that it’s
difficult to say for sure. The flavour profile
from the CBD blend is quite mellow here.
It’s a mild and fruity cannabis that won’t be
too overbearing for most people. This
is another great CBD e-liquid for those
who aren’t ready to dive into the world of
unflavoured CBD.
SKUFF- Greeneo
VG/PG ratio: 50/50 | Throat hit: Moderate
SKUFF is a “full spectrum” CBD e-liquid,
meaning that it incorporates a range of
cannabinoids other than CBD to achieve
a more potent effect on the user. Often
referred to as the “entourage effect”, full
spectrum products claim to offer increased
medicinal qualities over their CBD only
counterparts. The flavour profile here is a
rather musky and mildly fruity cannabis.
It’s quite pleasant if you are already
used to the taste of CBD, but if not, this
particular e-liquid does not try to mask its
natural flavour with any additives. If you
are looking for a stripped back, naturally-
flavoured CBD then SKUFF is a fantastic
option. As with many CBD e-liquids, there is
something of a throat hit present here. In
my experience, this is true for all products
in this category, though.

MELON PUFF - Greeneo
VG/PG ratio: 50/50 | Throat hit: Moderate
Melon Puff is a CBD e-liquid with
additional melon flavouring. The top notes
are a well-blended variety of melons,
including cantaloupe, honeydew and
galia. The cantaloupe is most prominent,
however. These top notes work to subdue
the underlying flavour of the CBD, and
actually complement it quite well. It’s near
impossible to eliminate the flavour of
CBD entirely from such a product, but I
feel Greeneo have done a good job in this
case at making it a less prominent feature
of the e-liquid. This makes Melon Puff a
fantastic choice for those who require the
use of CBD but don’t enjoy the flavour it
imparts.
BLACKCURRANT & MENTHOL-
Mountain Fox CBD
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Minimal
Throat hit: Moderate
MANGOES & CREAM-
Mountain Fox CBD
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Minimal
Throat hit: Moderate
Mango is a difficult flavour to replicate at
the best of times, so it is quite ambitious
of Mountain Fox to try and incorporate
it into a CBD blend. In this case I’m not
entirely sure that it comes across as
intended but that’s not to say that this
is an unpleasant flavour. The top note
is a vague tropical fruit that’s difficult
to pinpoint. Mango may well be part of
the mix but it certainly isn’t dominant.
The supporting cream flavour is quite
mild but does bring some sweetness to
the profile. The natural CBD flavour is
much more prominent here than in the
other Mountain Fox offerings that I have
sampled and it is pleasant, though likely
an acquired taste. This one is probably
more suited to those who want to taste
the CBD in their e-liquid.
Blackcurrant & Menthol is another
simple but classic profile from Mountain
Fox CBD. This blend doesn’t try to
overcomplicate things and instead opts
for something which plays well with the
CBD isolate. The blackcurrant is potent
and of the candied variety, carrying
plenty of sweetness whilst retaining
some of the deeper notes you might
expect from a more natural portrayal.
This is supported by a strong menthol
finish that not only works well with the
fruit notes but also does a good job of
concealing the flavour imparted by CBD.
Vapers who do not wish to taste the CBD
element of their e-liquid will enjoy this one.
STRAWBERRY & WATERMELON-
Mountain Fox CBD
VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional Sweetener: Minimal
Throat hit: Moderate
It’s often best to stick with simple
flavour profiles when formulating CBD
e-liquids, as the organic compounds
lend their own distinct taste to the mix.
Strawberry and watermelon is a well-
loved combination that may be seen as
a safe choice but it works well in this
context. The predominant flavour here
is a sticky candied strawberry. This is
complemented well by a more subtle,
candied watermelon and whilst this is
not a ground breaking pair, it is pleasant.
The botanical flavour from the CBD
isolate is relatively noticeable but works
well with the fruit elements. This is a
mellow CBD e-liquid ideal for beginners.
