Mango Ice, IGET HOT 5500 Puffs

Golden, thick and unmistakable, mango is the one tropical fruit that needs no help from anything beside it. The inhale is ripe and almost buttery, carrying the faint pine resin quality mango skin gives off, with none of the sourness of an underripe one. Menthol on the exhale is measured rather than aggressive, which is the right call, because too much cold turns mango thin and generic. What you get instead is a warm fruit with a cool finish.

It sells hardest through summer and it is the flavour most often asked for by name at the counter.

Rated 5,500 puffs, priced $46.90. Our XXL runs 1,800 puffs and our Star 7,000, so this is the middle of the three and where most people settle once they know their flavour but have no need for the largest device available.

The limitation is richness. Mango is heavier than a berry or a melon, and vaping something that rich without a break dulls your sense of it. Alternating with something sharper keeps it interesting. Sales are limited to those aged 18 or above.
