Flavour profile
Lemonade and cherry, with sugar somewhere between them. Ultimate describe it as bright and refreshing, blending zesty citrus with sweet, juicy fruit, and list four notes on the page: lemonade, cherry, sugar and sweets.
Where sources part company is on how sweet it lands. The maker's own wording is the sweetest reading of the four notes. The fullest retailer account calls the lemonade tart and the whole thing tangy, with the candy sitting on the cherry rather than on the blend. A third seller treats candy as a separate third note alongside the two fruits. Those are three different pictures of the same bottle, and no specification settles it.
What all of them agree on is the shape: citrus on one side, stone fruit on the other, confectionery sugar holding the two together. Read it as a lemonade drink flavour rather than a lemon one. The cherry is the sweet half.
A thin paper trail, and why that is worth saying
That is not a fault in the liquid. It does mean that anyone reading a confident, detailed description of this flavour somewhere else is reading an invention, because the source material for one does not exist.
What you are actually buying
A full 120ml bottle, pre-nicotined at the strength you order. Everything on this shelf is supplied finished. There is no nicotine shot in the box, no empty headroom in the bottle, and no waiting period.
The reason it needs saying is that Ultimate sells these liquids in Britain as 100ml of 0mg liquid in a 120ml bottle, with the remaining 20ml left for the buyer to fill with two nicotine shots. That is the same flavour bought in a different format. Anyone who has read a UK listing will arrive expecting to do work that has already been done.
VG/PG and the device it suits
Seventy VG, thirty PG, sub-ohm. Ultimate state that ratio for every flavour in the range, and the retailers who publish it agree.
Citrus is the first note to go flat on an underpowered device and the first to turn harsh on an overdriven one, so this rewards a mod you can set rather than a fixed-output pod. A VOOPOO Drag S2 or anything with real wattage control is the right home for it.
Choosing 3mg, 6mg, 12mg or 18mg
Three and six are the working strengths for a sub-ohm coil, because a low-resistance coil vaporises a great deal of liquid per second and the strength has to answer to that rather than to taste.
Twelve and eighteen exist for restricted draws and tighter coils. If you want this profile at a real nicotine strength in a pod kit, Lemonade and Cherry Ultimate Salts Candy Drops 30ml is the same flavour built as a 50mg salt, and that is the correct product rather than pushing this one up the scale.
Practical notes
Sugared fruit liquids shorten coil life, and this one has sugar named in its own flavour notes. Expect fewer tank-fills from a coil than a plain fruit gives you, and change it when the sweetness starts reading as caramel rather than candy.
No source, the maker included, mentions menthol, koolada or any cooling agent in this liquid. Ultimate runs separate iced lines under the On Ice and Chilled names, and this is in neither.
Where it sits in the Ultimate range
Candy Drops is the confectionery arm of the Puff line, and this is its citrus entry. Grape and Strawberry Ultimate Puff Candy Drops 120ml and Lemon and Sour Apple Ultimate Puff Candy Drops 120ml are the two already on the shelf, and the Lemon and Sour Apple is the one to compare against: both lead on citrus, but that one is built sour where this one is built sweet.
Arriving alongside it are Strawberry Melon Ultimate Puff Candy Drops 120ml and Watermelon and Cherry Ultimate Puff Candy Drops 120ml, which takes the sub-range to five.
Buying and delivery
The sweet citrus of the Candy Drops line, and the one to pick over Lemon and Sour Apple if sour is not what you are after. Nairobi addresses see it the same day from Vapesoko Nairobi, nearby towns on an early dispatch, and the rest of Kenya in 1 to 2 business days.
