Bonbon Nicotine Salt E-Liquid New Flavor Review Arrives as Promised

The latest six nicotine salt flavors were positioned as the standard edition: Pineapple Coconut Juice, Watermelon Ice, Mint Candy, Mixed Fruit, Mixed Blueberry, and American Treaty (coffee tobacco). Because the Pineapple Coconut Juice and Watermelon Ice e-liquids were so impressive, the other flavors ended up playing more of a supporting role. After a few months of buildup, the new November flavors arrived as promised, released in both Silver Label and Bronze Label editions.

Review Device

Nautilus 2 (ZQ) kit by Eleaf: 1 device (1000mAh), 1 pod/tank (3.0ml), 2 coils (0.65 ohm and 1.0 ohm cotton coils), a Type-C charging cable, and a user manual.

This time, the 1.0 mesh cotton coil was used at 20W.

Hawthorn

Recently, many e-liquid brands have been releasing hawthorn flavors, and this Bonbon Salt version is no exception. The hawthorn most people are familiar with is probably hawthorn slices—sweet and tangy, though usually leaning a bit sweeter. This one, however, is not quite what you might expect. On the inhale, the sweetness immediately stimulates the tongue. On the exhale, the sweet-and-sour hawthorn notes develop together on the palate, with the sourness bursting through quite clearly. The finish has a slightly astringent feel. To me, the sweetness and acidity are evenly balanced, the cooling is moderate, and the flavor accuracy is handled just right. It tastes like fresh hawthorn—neither cloyingly sweet nor overly sour.

Grapefruit Ice

The first sensation on the inhale is coolness, followed by the pure taste of grapefruit juice. The sweetness stands out strongly, while the acidity is almost nonexistent, and it does not linger too long on the tongue. After the exhale, the cooling sensation remains in the mouth for quite a while, leaving behind a pure grapefruit flavor, as if fresh grapefruit had been squeezed into juice and you were drinking it. The richness and throat hit are also excellent. If you like grapefruit flavors, this is definitely an e-liquid you should not miss.

Little Green Man

I believe most people are already familiar with the e-liquid called Little Green Man. The earlier Malaysian version was extremely popular, and now Bonbon Salt has released its own version as well. In my opinion, the main notes are heavily dominated by lychee and raspberry. The sweetness that bursts out from the combination of these two flavors is very obvious. I also detect a slight hint of cantaloupe and pineapple. Overall, this blend of multiple fruits, centered around lychee and raspberry and combined with strong cooling, does not feel strange at all—it is actually quite a novel flavor.

Red Ice

Red Ice tastes different from what many of us might imagine. A lot of people may think it is a red wine ice flavor, but that is not the case. This flavor is actually a blend of raspberry and mint. Because of mint’s cooling sensation and slight bitterness, it covers most of the raspberry note. The raspberry sweetness is handled just well enough to offset mint’s natural bitterness. The mint lingers in the mouth with a longer-lasting coolness, while the sweetness fades away with the exhale.
