Look, in all honesty, I hate fruit. I’ve never tried most fruits, and I never want to. People ask me why, and it’s mainly because the texture of fruit genuinely scares me. The feeling of biting into a crunchy apple or soft banana and feeling it in my mouth makes me gag. Artificial fruit flavouring is way better than the actual fruit itself. It’s more concentrated and sweet, and you don’t have to deal with the awful admin of preparing fruit and its messy aftermath. Fucking sue me. When it comes to fruit flavoured vapes, I can only offer advice on how good the actual flavour tastes, rather than its likeness to its physical counterpart.
God bless the Vaporium overlords for giving us a nic salts juice. They must’ve known that uni is going back this week and we needed an extra slap to the face of nicotine. The Duo Salts vape juice I tried was a 25mg nic salt juice, meaning it’s nicotine content is pretty close to a pack of ciggies. With higher nicotine juices, the flavour tends to taste more concentrated to compensate for the amount of nicotine, which is a fucking win in my eyes. If you were to try some of this juice without knowing it, you’d probably just assume it’s a basic “fruit” flavour. It doesn’t taste like any distinguishable kind of fruit, but more just like nerds. Experienced vaper Kyle however noted how “it tastes like grape, followed apple, then a lot of nicotine”, while an anonymous flatmate said “fuck yeah can I rax some of that after you’ve finished”, indicating that it must be good.
Overall, this has probably got to be my favourite flavour that we’ve reviewed so far. Maybe it’s because there’s some actual nicotine in it. It reminds me of if you were to eat a Chupa Chup after smoking a dart. If you’re gonna get popcorn lungs, you at least want to enjoy the journey. This is the first flavour that I would happily use again, but I am glad this was given to us for free. I would highly recommend the Duo range. Splash out, treat yourself, and get two out of your five plus a day.

Makes You Feel: Like you’re in year 10 going to the canteen.
Pairs Well WIth: The sense of nostalgia you aren’t willing to let go of.
