REVIEWS 1. Frost Throat hit: Moderate, with cooling Sample strength: 300mg in 10ml 4. Abis describe Frost as an intense mint hit, and they aren’t joking. In a market saturated with menthol products, Frost stands out because it includes some heavy herbal mint flavourings in the mix along with coolant. This is a potent natural spearmint profile which absolutely blasts the palette. Any flavour imparted by the CBD content is heavily masked in this case, which is great for those who don’t enjoy deeper botanical notes. If you’re looking for a simple CBD blend that also acts as a reliable way to reset your taste buds, Frost is an excellent option. a huge bonus for many. An outstanding fruity vape. Abis describe Frost as an intense mint hit, and they aren’t joking. In a market saturated with menthol products, Frost stands out because it includes some heavy herbal mint flavourings in the mix along with coolant. This is a potent Heisen is described as a blend of fruit and mint flavours and it won’t be surprising to any veteran vaper that this is clearly a blend inspired by the Heisenberg profile, which is a firm staple in the e-liquid world. This is a much more berry forward mix compared with other Heisenberg offerings, which means a touch more candy sweetness. The signature bubble-gum flavour is present but more subdued than you would normally expect, which makes for an overall fruitier end product. Aniseed, which is usually rather noticeable in Heisenberg profiles, seems to have been dropped in this case, which likely gives this blend a wider appeal. The profile is finished with a moderately strong mint and menthol finish, which cuts through the sweetness and keeps things light. Citrus 250mg in 30ml A simple blend from Natra’s CBD e-liquid line. Citrus is described as a blend of orange and lemon, which is an interesting choice, since orange is a particularly difficult flavour to get right when it comes to e-liquid. Orange is by far the dominant note here and it’s excellent. This is without doubt the most authentic orange I’ve tried in any e-liquid, let alone CBD infused e-liquids. This may be due to Natra’s use of essential oils, which are uncommon in the e-cigarette world. The lemon note is quite subdued but provides a somewhat sharper contrast to the bright sweetness of the orange top note. As with Peppermint, there is no noticeable botanical flavour (terpenes) here, which will be a huge bonus for many. An outstanding fruity vape. 2. Heisen Throat hit: Moderate, with cooling Sample strength: 300mg in 10ml Natra CBD E-liquids Abis CBD 5. Peppermint 250mg in 30ml Natra’s CBD e-liquid range uses PCR hemp oil for its CBD content. This terminology may be new to some, but it simply means phytocannabinoid-rich, another way of saying that cannabinoids other than CBD are present. Normally, this results in a much stronger botanical flavour in the end product, but that’s not the case here. This is a single note profile that’s ideal for new users. A strong and mildly sweet peppermint is all you’ll taste when vaping this, so it’s perfect for people who would like to try broad spectrum CBD without the potent botanicals. 1 2 3 3. Sport Throat hit: Moderate Sample strength: 300mg in 10m l Sport is a new offering from Abis and as such there’s little information to go on here other than first-hand experience. As soon as I opened the bottle, I immediately recognised something I hadn’t tasted in far too long. Red lemonade is a mysterious beverage that’s an institution in Ireland, where the Abis brand is based. It’s been a while since I last enjoyed the real thing, but Sport undoubtedly nails the flavour of this unique lemonade drink and I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic whilst vaping it. The botanical flavour imparted by the CBD content is minimal here and shouldn’t be off putting for those that do not enjoy the taste of CBD isolate. This is a charming fruity vape that many will enjoy. 152 VAPOUROUND CBD MAGAZINE 4 5
