Smell and Taste
This smells really, reaallllly good. It has a strong, strong blue raspberry smell. I can’t really smell the green apple, well maybe a little bit, but I can’t smell the sherbet at all.
I tested this using the Smok Alien at 90 watts with the ICON RDA on top built at 0.28 ohms.
Ok, so it does taste like blue raspberry, but it’s not as dominating as I hoped. It seems a little drowned out with that green apple taste. And the thing about green apple flavored e-juices, at least to me, is that they taste artificial. It’s not that I don’t like green apple flavors, it’s just that I wish they tasted more natural.
I’d say Shijin made what they said they were going for here though. It’s definitely blue raspberry and green apple. I don’t really get that sherbet flavor though.
Overall, it’s pretty good. It’s smooth and it’s sweet. And I really shouldn’t knock the apple flavor because that’s just my personal flavor preferences kicking in. I do like this one.
