The Goods:

Over its 10ml life with me, Exhale saw a rotation through literally all of my vapeware to-date. A Kanger ESmart on a K808, EVODs and Protanks atop my Egos and MVP v2, and in an Igo-W4 (cotton microcoil @1.4ohms) and Kayfun 3.1 with my Chi You. It’s safe to say that not only was this juice well-tested, it is by no means horrible.

Dripped out of the bottle, Exhale smells less like a Granny Smith apple and more like a candied apple found at a fair. On first nose, green tea is nowhere to be detected. Needless to say, this won’t be a skunk in your vape box/drawer/desk – it’s quite tasty smelling.

In a smaller, more disposable tank – such as the ESmart or EVOD – this juice performs well, if only on a single note: green apple. A little tart, a little sweet; quite similar to a fresh, fruity apple.

On my Kayfun and Igo, fresh apple stays at the forefront, but a lingering sense of grassy or green makes itself known on the exhale, especially from the nose. Whether this is, indeed, green tea is up to your interpretation; I didn’t think it mimicked tea at all, but did find it added interest to the vape. Just don’t expect the stronger taste of matcha or sencha.

While I enjoyed the flavour, Exhale just felt two-dimensional and, eventually, boring. Unfortunately, this brew also does leave a slight artificial funk that lingers at the top of my palate. Nothing severe, but something that my overly-developed sense of taste can register as not quite right.

The room note is fruity and pleasant, with a nutty grass overtone that is most likely from the green tea flavourings. It neither lingers nor sticks to one’s clothing.

I must issue a word of caution with this, and all of Evaperated’s juice line, though. Exhale is by no means a “soft” vape. Containing 70% PG (propylene glycerol), this juice delivers a considerable throat hit. Far too much, for me, especially if lung hits are taken. Those immediately transitioning from cigarettes may see this as a plus, but I prefer my vape with a more creamy, “hookah” feel to it. In the end, this was cut with a few drops of cream-flavoured VG just to keep it in rotation. The good news: Evaperated is now offering different PG/VG ratios, which they didn’t at the time of my bottle’s purchase.

The Verdict?

Exhale delivers a solid green apple flavour with some interest on the – well – exhale, but vapers with tender lungs should order a lower PG ratio. I’m not a fan of the slight aftertaste on the end, but less sensitive tastebuds may not notice.

Rating: 3/5. Decent. The bottle was finished, but unlikely to buy again.
