Kuro is a range of UK-made nicotine salts and high VG shortfills built around Japanese flavours. Each blend takes a real moment from Tokyo food and drink culture, from a backstreet cocktail to a summer dessert, and turns it into an all-day vape. The range is made by UK flavour house Riot Squad, so the profiles are punchy, accurate and balanced.
There are eight flavours in total. Some are fresh citrus blends, some are dark and fruity, and a couple step into dessert and tea territory. If you've worked your way through the usual berry and ice bottles and want something different, this is a good place to start.
