The flavour compass
Move the two sliders and the point travels across the map to name the flavour family that suits you, with three tasting notes and a pointer on kit. You can also click or drag on the map.
Flavour family
Frosted orchards
- Heading
- 309° NW
- Profile
- pronounced
Three notes to look for
- bright citrus
- tart red berries
- icy finish
Kit pointer
A pod or tank on a tight to slightly tight draw with a balanced liquid, so the coolness shows without much power.
This compass is indicative. It points towards a flavour family, measures nothing and does not replace your own palate. For adults only, as e-liquids often contain nicotine.
