U.S.-Made SWEET SOUR Fruit E-Liquid: An Irresistible Sweet-and-Sour Taste for 2021

Fruit e-liquids are without a doubt the flavor category most widely accepted by consumers in China.

As we know, fruit e-liquids produced in China or Southeast Asia generally rely on intense icy cooling and straightforward single-fruit flavors as their main selling points. By contrast, U.S.-made e-liquids do not depend on extreme cooling to enhance appeal, but instead place greater emphasis on fruit flavor expression.

Today, we’re sharing an e-liquid product from the U.S. brand FINEST CANDY SHOP: the SWEET SOUR candied fruit series, which includes a total of 7 flavors.

This review covers 4 of them: GREEN APPLE CITRUS, LEMON LUSH, STRAW MELON, and CUTTON CLOUDS.

GREEN APPLE CITRUS

When opening the bottle, you can smell a green apple aroma that feels closer to real fruit than artificial candy flavoring, while the lemon note is not really noticeable by scent alone. Once inhaled, the green apple’s crisp and refreshing character opens up. On the exhale, there is a slight lemon candy note that adds smoothness, and the lingering aftertaste in the mouth returns to green apple and lasts for quite a while.

LEMON LUSH

This flavor’s packaging also features a watermelon image, so when you smell it, both lemon and watermelon notes are present at the same time. That sensation carries into the vape as well. There isn’t much of a layered transition; instead, the two seemingly mismatched flavor impressions are blended together very smoothly. Add in a little lemon tartness, and it becomes the kind of flavor that feels more enjoyable with every puff.

STRAW MELON

To be honest, this one doesn’t reveal much fruit aroma right after opening the bottle. But once vaped, the strawberry note with a touch of fruity tartness appears briefly on the inhale, then quickly shifts into a honeydew-like melon flavor. After a few more puffs, the lingering taste in the mouth even carries a hint of dragon fruit. It’s also worth noting that this flavor has a slightly stronger throat hit than the others.

CUTTON CLOUDS

Cotton candy is the only non-fruit flavor in the SWEET SOUR series, and its taste is easy to understand: a simple, original cotton candy profile with light sweetness and a slight creamy note. But don’t assume this is a typical rich American dessert flavor—it still comes across as light and fresh overall.

Overall, these 4 SWEET SOUR flavors all lean toward a light and refreshing style. The flavors are clear without being heavy, making them typical American fruit e-liquids. The freshness and satisfaction created by their distinctive blending are not something the market’s generic over-cooled fruit e-liquids can match. And honestly, this kind of e-liquid is quite rare, so in my opinion, it’s well worth trying no matter what.

Of course, the series also includes versions designed for big vapor production. The classic U.S. high-VG ratio is best suited to low-resistance tank atomizers or drippers, where you can experience a level of satisfaction completely different from the salt nicotine version.
