Vaping in Canada

Review of SOAK X ZERO nicotine-free disposables

In this review I will talk about the epitome of pure flavor without the slightest drop of nicotine – SOAK X ZERO disposable e-cigarettes.

Attention! All of the following may go against your idea of beautiful and meaningful. You can agree or disagree with what you read – both are fine. Taste is too individualized to argue about.

You can purchase personalized products from online vape shops.

SOAK X ZERO packaging and aesthetics

The devices are packaged in rectangular boxes made of thin but dense cardboard, the main color and bright lacquer applique of which directly depends on the taste of the contents. canadian vaping The upper and lower flaps of the box contain the names of the line and flavor, the manufacturer’s name and the approximate number of puffs. The same information block, but slightly larger and without mentioning puffs, is located in the upper part of the front edge, directly above the colorful flavor interpretation and a clear, highlighted white background inscription “nicotine-free”.

The right and left sides of the box continue the juicy print of the front, and if on the right side there is nothing but fruits or berries, on the left side the manufacturer has placed a photorealistic image of the device itself, a scratch code to check its originality and the product release date. The back of the box is given to a boring but important and necessary scattering of trade and consumer information; even the SOAK website and the name of the flavor in two languages have not been forgotten.

Inside the boxes, the devices are covered with silicone plugs and then packed in white blisters, along with fairly detailed instruction manuals in Russian.

Stylish, cute, without unnecessary accessories, but with a sudden lexical bomb in the instructions, asking about the rules of “smoking”. Well, they don’t smoke electronic cigarettes at all. Smoking is inhaling smoke, and e-cigs don’t produce smoke. The sooner we stop substituting concepts and confusing warm and soft, the sooner the public mind will separate traditional cigarette smoking from vaping e-cigarettes.

SOAK X ZERO appearance and design

The cylindrical aluminum body is hugged by a white soft-touch coating, bounded on top by a glossy plastic mouthpiece with a metal-like finish, and on the bottom by a rounded pedestal made of the same plastic hiding the air intake holes and signal LED. The draw is close to free MTL.

SOAK X ZERO flavors

At the time of publication, the SOAK X ZERO device lineup includes 20 flavors, but today we’ll review only a few of them.

SOAK X ZERO – Aloe Vera

Manufacturer Description: Unique, incomparable taste that you need to try to understand

The slightly bitter, refreshing taste of the fleshy aloe leaf is emphasized by natural sweetish acid and caramel, uncharacteristic for the plant. If I knew what the aroma of blooming aloe vera is, I could defuse the intrigue, but, alas, the herbaceous smell with floral polyphony will remain a mystery.

A cool, slightly astringent breath of sticky juice. Woody bitterness of grape-apple mucus with invisible flowers in the exhale. Herbaceous-candy aftertaste with hints of dozens of soft berries. If you have never chewed the tight, moisture-saturated aloe leaves, any description of their taste will seem like an uncouth counterfeit – you need to try it. Well, if this succulent has been on your menu for a long time, imagine that they added a little melted sugar, a couple of drops of lemon juice and a bouquet of flowers collected from fruit trees. Unique? More than.

SOAK X ZERO – Apple Peach Bonbon

Manufacturer’s description: A harmonious duet of red, delicious apple and sweet peach

The description of the taste and the print argue with themselves, which means that only after taking a puff will you understand what kind of apple is inside. A cool mix of peach and apple juices is decorated with a pinch of ground cinnamon, light cream, white chocolate and vanilla. For those who are tired of taste poetry, I will say differently: there is a ripe peach, there is a crisp apple, and there is sugar.

The mix is fresh, and the abundance of sweetness does not in any way cancel out the presence of a dense stream of acid between the apple and the peach. The expected fruits are mixed in the expected fruity way, without excesses or experimental accents, into a simple and understandable pairing, casting a cool shadow and lying next to each other, awaiting the next puff. And it will be, because this is a typical representative of all-day-vape, the taste of which does not get boring, but only becomes more interesting over time.

SOAK X ZERO — Baked Pear

Manufacturer’s description: Light and balanced dessert of freshly baked pear in spicy syrup

Caramel! Whatever one may say, before the vaping begins, the device emits a dense aroma not only of an overripe pear, but also of thoroughly fried caramel in which this pear was dipped. A little cinnamon, a little star anise – that’s the whole exotic smell, but it’s not the main thing here…

The taste of a pear hanging on a branch, which has burst from ripeness and heat, and now bleeds its own honey onto those below. An ideally accurate recreation of fruit bliss is shaded by moderate coolness and a strange herb, reminiscent of dry currant leaves and almost exhausted mint. The aroma of burnt caramel is used here to emphasize the name of the mix, but even without this burning bitterness of cracking sugar it would be great.

Impression

Fine. Vaping without nicotine is good. It does not matter in what form, with what taste and for what intermediate purpose. If you end up quitting tobacco and then nicotine, you’re doing great. After all, that was the original purpose of vaping, right?
