Comments on the taste of the juice
The Candy Gum offered by Home Vape is a liquid with flavors of strawberry chewing gum with subtle citrus notes.
When opening the bottle, the “chemical” scents of the chewing gum are well felt with also light “fruity” citrus-type notes, the scent is quite sweet and light.
In terms of taste, the liquid is sweet, the aromas have a good aromatic power, the “chemical” flavors of chewing gum are fairly faithful, the small citrus “points” are only felt at the end of the vape and bring peps in the composition, they are weakly dosed but very present.
The liquid is soft and light and thanks to its citrus notes, it is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The tasting of Candy Gum was done with a power of vape of 35W.
With this configuration, the inspiration is soft, the passage in the throat and the hit light, already we can guess the dominant “chemical” aspect of the composition.
When exhaling, the flavors of the chewing gum appear, they are relatively sweet, then at the end of the exhalation arrive the “fruity citrus” notes of the recipe, they mix with the flavors of the chewing gum, they are quite “ weak ”in power but very present, they seem to“ boost ”the tasting, it is pleasant in the mouth.
It is light and soft, the vapor obtained is “normal”.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Candy Gum offered by Home Vape is a liquid with strawberry chewing gum flavors with citrus notes felt mainly at the end of the exhalation. The aromatic power of the aromas making up the recipe is present, the dosage is perfect, the chemical flavors are not too “strong” and are really faithful to reality. As for the subtle citrus notes felt especially at the end of the vape, they are weakly dosed just enough not to “crush” the dominant flavors of the chewing gum. These little citrus hints actually bring a “plus” to the recipe, they seem to “boost” the tasting, it's relatively well done.
The tasting is sweet, light and above all good, a good liquid which therefore deserves its “Top Juice”!
