Liqua Nicotine Salt E-Liquid Review
Today’s review is of Liqua nicotine salt e-liquid, which I actually received before the Lunar New Year holiday. So why did it take so long to evaluate? Honestly, because many users already assume that pod vapes cannot deliver good e-liquid flavor and that
LIQUA Nicotine Salt E-Liquid review is what we are evaluating today. I received it before the Spring Festival holiday, and the reason for the long evaluation period? Honestly, it's because most players have the preconceived notion that "small vapes cannot present the flavors of e-liquids, and nicotine salts perform poorly in flavor presentation." However, nicotine salt e-liquids carry the responsibility of "smoking cessation"; can they really not showcase the flavors that e-liquids should have? For those interested in expanding their knowledge, you can check out another article: What is the difference between nicotine salts and nicotine?
Based on this, I took the time during the Spring Festival to carefully taste these three e-liquids, using them daily to understand and feel the differences in flavor across various devices and resistances, and then provide a balanced description of the flavors to help players and smoking cessation users better understand the rapid advancements in flavor presentation of nicotine salt e-liquids.
Now, let's get to the point. The nicotine salt e-liquids we are reviewing this time are new flavors launched by LIQUA, and I didn't jump straight into the product to avoid readers holding a "first impression" mindset.
Many people tend to close the page when they see a big brand or nicotine salts, which not only causes them to miss the opportunity to discover a good e-liquid but also takes away the fun of reading review articles. With 100 authors, there will be 100 different opinions, and perhaps what you lack is the "specific detail that a particular reviewer values."
Additionally, this new flavor lineup includes Butter Tobacco, Menthol Tobacco, and Cool Green Mango, with detailed flavor descriptions provided below.
As for the packaging, I won't dwell on it here. LIQUA has always been very compliant, ensuring that all necessary information is included, as they are a well-known e-liquid brand selling in over 100 countries, adhering to integrity and fairness!
First up for review is the Cool Green Mango.
Why choose mango first instead of tobacco?
Simply put, aside from my preference for fruity flavors, I previously tried LIQUA's mango ice flavor at the "Shenzhen Electronic Cigarette Exhibition IECIE," and that flavor left a deep impression on me!
During the experience, I tested several refillable pod devices, including ZERO, Suorin Drop, ONE, and SMOANT's S8. After continuous puffs on these devices, I found that "the flavor of Cool Green Mango does not vary much across the above small vapes; if I had to choose, I would recommend a device with a larger airflow."
Upon inhalation, a refreshing sensation enters the mouth, followed by the aroma of green mango slowly permeating the throat (this is why I recommend a device with larger airflow, as a smaller airflow would deliver the flavor all at once). The green mango carries a hint of tartness from the peel and a fragrant mango aroma, avoiding the overly sweet and cloying taste often associated with mango flavors. Thus, when layered with menthol, it presents an unforgettable flavor.
Next, let's taste the Menthol Tobacco!
Before using e-cigarettes, I was a traditional cigarette user, and aside from smoking Castel 5 and Blue LUCKY, I frequently smoked the menthol cigarette "Ice Cold" from Baoheng, so my expectations for menthol tobacco are relatively high.
This salt e-liquid was also tested across multiple devices, with the best flavor experience found on the ZERO device.
Upon inhalation, the first sensation is cool! It's a refreshing yet non-irritating coolness, and the sensation that spreads from the throat to the nasal cavity is just "right." Following the coolness, the flavor of tobacco emerges. If I had to describe the type of tobacco, I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it is definitely not the flavor of domestic tobacco.
The tobacco aroma actually begins to enter the moment the menthol flavor kicks in, initially presenting a subtle fragrance paired with a cool sensation, and then the tobacco flavor gradually intensifies in the mouth. Regarding the common complaint about menthol tobacco (that menthol overpowers the tobacco flavor), this does not occur here; instead, they complement each other, creating a harmonious and enjoyable experience.
Finally, we have Butter Tobacco.
The reason for placing Butter Tobacco last is that I was concerned about an overpowering butter flavor, so I mentally prepared myself before testing, knowing that "past experiences can be daunting"....
In the past, most butter tobacco salt e-liquids I tried were either too buttery or lacked distinct layers, making it difficult to perceive the tobacco's flavor and aroma.
However, this LIQUA Butter Tobacco is guaranteed to change your perception of butter tobacco! Firstly, it made me willing to take continuous puffs (which may not seem like a high bar), and secondly, the butter flavor successfully acts as a complementary aroma.
Upon inhalation, the butter and tobacco flavors simultaneously fill the mouth, with the butter flavor not overpowering the tobacco aroma but rather enhancing it. At this point, the tongue also experiences a rich tobacco flavor due to the butter, and as I exhale slowly through the nose, I can detect a scent reminiscent of "cream cookies."
However, after several puffs, I also found that the butter flavor did not become cloying; instead, it deepened the tobacco's flavor, making the overall experience rich and layered, particularly satisfying!
In summary,
The LIQUA nicotine salt e-liquids can be described as "expected yet surprising."
Why this conclusion? Let me explain. The "expected" part comes from LIQUA being a well-known e-liquid brand, making it not too difficult to transition into nicotine salt e-liquids. Given the company's production resources and R&D capabilities, carving out a niche in the nicotine salt market is certainly achievable.
As for the "surprising" aspect?
The surprise lies in the fact that the flavors produced by LIQUA are not merely market-driven; the precision in flavor presentation and the balance achieved by the flavorists are truly impressive. Just the Cool Green Mango alone could surpass most nicotine salt flavors I have tried, indicating that they are not only prepared but also aiming to dominate the market with unique flavors.
Overall, LIQUA's nicotine salt e-liquids are highly successful and are recommended for small vape users to incorporate into their regular rotation! The entire small vape market has become more vibrant due to nicotine salt e-liquids, and I believe more enjoyable nicotine salt e-liquids will emerge.
