Comments on the taste of the juice
The Passion liquid offered by the e-CG brand is a fruity type juice with passion fruit flavors.
When the bottle is opened, the fruity and sweet scents of passion fruit are perfectly felt and recognizable, the smell is rather sweet and quite faithful.
In terms of taste, the liquid has a fairly good aromatic power, the flavors of the passion fruit are well perceived on the palate, the so particular taste of the fruit, both fragrant, juicy and slightly acidic, is well transcribed.
The liquid has relatively weak sweet notes but still very present.
This Passion liquid from E-CG is quite soft in the mouth and will suit first-time buyers.
Tasting recommendations
- Recommended power for optimal taste: 16 W
- Type of steam obtained at this power: Light (less than T2)
- Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
- Atomizer used for the review: Ammit MTL RDA
- Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.73

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Passion liquid has been tested using the Ammit MTL RDA dripper with a Superfine MTL Fused Clapton Coil coil from Vandy Vape with a value of 0.73ohms after running in, the cotton used is Holy Fiber from HOLY JUICE LAB, the power is set to 16W.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is relatively light, the passage in the throat and the hit are rather average, they become a little “stronger” with a smaller draw.
At the expiration the fruity flavors appear, we can feel the flavors of the passion fruit thanks in particular to its taste which is both fruity, fragrant, juicy and slightly acidulous, these tangy or even slightly bitter notes come to close the tasting and seem to last a short moment in the mouth.
The sweet notes of the fruit are present but they are relatively subtle, the tasting is rather light and not disgusting.
An “open” draw should be preferred to preserve the perfumed and fruity flavors of the liquid, in fact, with a “restricted” draw, the fruity flavors fade in favor of the more tangy or even bitter ones of the fruit.

My mood ticket on this juice

The flavors of the passion fruit are at the same time fruity, juicy, fragrant and slightly tart, the sweet notes are weaker.
The liquid is relatively soft and light, the composition of the recipe in particular its high rate of PG will reserve it more for MTL oriented material, the flavors announced by the manufacturer will thus be perfectly well perceived and appreciated.
