Steam Duo's First E-Liquid, Adams-Blended Ice Jade, to Launch on May 4

 Mixing e-liquids is a topic of great interest among e-cigarette enthusiasts. Back in early 2014, I mixed a few e-liquids, but due to the limited brands of flavorings available at that time, it was challenging to outline the main flavor with additives. This didn't affect the complex flavors much, but it made the performance of single flavors less satisfactory. Over time, the number of raw material brands in the market has increased, and there are now dozens of options for the same flavor, which is a great joy for those who enjoy mixing. After many experiments and revisions, Steam Duo's first e-liquid, Ice Jade, is about to be unveiled, which is the mass-produced version of my handcrafted mix.

   Ice Jade is a standard complex flavor e-liquid, featuring the sweetness of tea and a gradual intoxication. The inspiration for this blend came from my experiences with vodka; I believe many friends who have mixed vodka with other drinks have had similar experiences, just like when we mix grape juice, Sprite, or honey. I have tried all of these, but the results often defy expectations, leading me to abandon many options.

   When a satisfactory result matched my expectations, it was a flavor made from green tea and jasmine with vodka, which I named "Ice Jade." You might wonder if this qualifies as a liquor-flavored e-liquid; in fact, it's only half of it, as it also fully restores the flavor we get when mixing vodka with green tea and jasmine tea.

   Vodka does not alter the flavor in the e-liquid; its pure alcohol taste enhances the fullness of the green tea and jasmine tea. A sip brings a craving for both tea and alcohol, resonating with your senses. If you and I share the same feeling, it brings me comfort after all the effort. Here, I want to thank my friend Shui Ge, who showcased the color scheme of this e-liquid with fitting design language after trying it and told me that the triangle in the image represents the balance of flavors, with no deviation.

   In fact, "Ice Jade" is a bright green-toned e-liquid with a refreshing tea aroma that has layers. Whether used in medium or low resistance devices, it leans towards a long-lasting tea drink aftertaste. When I initially mixed this flavor, I was concerned that the tea aroma would be overshadowed by the vodka flavor. Later, I focused on how to avoid the tea aroma being too straightforward. If you find its flavor to be authentic after tasting, you might guess that I used real tea leaves for the brewing aroma.

   Here, the vodka's body sensation is also quite powerful, with a moderate throat hit. Currently, I have only mass-produced a version with a 30pg:70vg/3mg nicotine concentration for everyone to try. When the richness of tea intertwines with the intensity of vodka, it provides satisfaction in flavor and pleasure for the body and mind. This is one of the flavors I have mixed that has the lowest similarity to market products. Ice Jade, which I struggled with for a long time, ultimately presents a confrontation of the three elements, with the freshness of tea remaining intact, and the lingering aroma is very sunny; there is no sweetness, just a refreshing coolness, where the tea and vodka aromas complement each other. I believe everyone will enjoy it.

   This e-liquid, Ice Jade, blended by Steam Duo founder Adams, has been mass-produced by the well-known domestic e-liquid manufacturer Desen Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and will be available for sale at designated retail stores and the Firearms E-Cigarette JD store on May 4, 2018, at 12:00 noon. The product is packaged in a 30ml wax-sealed (the black wax is for aesthetics; sealing it to the glass bottle would make it difficult to open) glass bottle (with a 15ml refill bottle included in the packaging), priced at 25 yuan, with a purchase price of 22 yuan for loyal Steam Duo users (all users who have purchased Steam Duo products enjoy this price). Interested friends are welcome to come and try it.    Adams' notes: If you look closely at the production date of the product, you will know that I have let all the e-liquids sit for two months to allow for thorough mixing. During this time, I also had friends try it. In fact, whenever a Steam Duo product is launched, I hear various voices, including inquiries from new friends, encouragement from old friends, and consumers questioning the price. As an experienced e-cigarette user, I have used most devices on the market and, with the help of friends, found many niche e-liquids. I understand the one-word evaluation given by e-cigarette consumers when faced with various products: "expensive," just like my feeling when I encounter most products in unfamiliar fields. So, are these products worth the price? It often requires seasoned users to provide judgment, rather than relying on comments that deem everything expensive, like cars, washing machines, or bread. Returning to this e-liquid, regardless of the processes I used in production, the types of raw materials I sourced (I chose FDA-certified suppliers), or the packaging used, its mass-produced price is reasonable; based on a consumption rate of one bottle every three days, spending 100 yuan for four bottles of Ice Jade is merely the price of a pack of regular cigarettes. It is an e-liquid that everyone can afford, with no tricks, just like our homegrown products. Finally, I hope Ice Jade can receive the same support and love as other Steam Duo products. Steam Duo is not a website that relies on product profits to sustain itself; our journey is filled with everyone's love.
