Cola Lime Ice, IGET HOT 5500 Puffs

Lime changes cola completely. Where plain cola is caramelly and rounded, the lime cuts a citrus streak through the middle that mimics exactly what happens when a wedge goes into the glass. The inhale carries the vanilla and spice of the cola, the exhale brings lime and ice together, and the finish is sharp instead of sweet. It lands closer to a rum and cola without the rum than to a straight soft drink.

This is a useful change of direction once berries and tropical fruits have started blurring into each other.

The Hot carries a 5,500 puff rating and sells for $46.90. Between our 1,800 puff XXL and the 7,000 puff Star, it is the sensible middle for somebody who vapes daily but has no wish to spend at the top of the range.

Being upfront about it, soft drink flavours are more of an acquired taste than fruit is, and 5,500 puffs is a long stretch to spend with one that turns out not to suit you. Testing a cola blend on a smaller device first is not a bad idea. Age restriction applies: 18 and over.
