Kung Fruits e liquid | every name and its fruit

Suika, Reishi, Ryugan, Tsuri. The flavours in this range carry Japanese-sounding names that tell an English speaker nothing about the fruit inside. To choose a Kung Fruits e liquid, you first have to translate, and shop listings do not always agree on what each flavour contains. Only one source settles it, the manufacturer itself. You still need to know what it says, and what it leaves unsaid, especially about cooling.

Kung Fruits e liquid, one fruit per bottle

A Kung Fruits e liquid holds a single fruit flavour. Cloud Vapor, the French maker behind the range, presents each reference as a single-flavour recipe on a 50/50 base of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, whatever the bottle size.

Choosing is therefore a matter of picking a fruit, not a blend. Sixteen flavours were listed in the maker’s catalogue when we checked, from red fruit to exotics, by way of a lemon and an aloe vera. The name on each bottle is the only obstacle, and the table below removes it.

The Kung Fruits glossary, name by name

According to Cloud Vapor, the range stages ‘fruit warriors’ in a martial arts world, hence names that do not spell out the fruit. Our table gives the fruit stated by the maker on each product page, while the family and season columns are our reading, with seasons taken from the ADEME calendar for mainland France.

Name	Fruit stated	Family	Season of the fruit in mainland France
Akaïmi	Raspberry	Red fruit	June to August
Ishigo	Strawberry	Red fruit	May to July
Sakuran	Cherry	Red fruit	June to July
Kuberi	Blackberry	Dark fruit	August to September
Kashi	Blackcurrant	Dark fruit	June to August
Burumi	Blue raspberry	Red fruit	Not stated
Suika	Watermelon	Watery fruit	June to September
Meron	Melon	Watery fruit	June to September
Tsuri	Peach	Orchard	June to September
Mango	Mango	Exotic	No mainland season
Painappu	Pineapple	Exotic	No mainland season
Reishi	Lychee	Exotic	No mainland season
Ryugan	Longan	Exotic	No mainland season
Pitaya	Dragon fruit	Exotic	No mainland season
Remon	Lemon	Citrus	No mainland season
Aroe	Aloe vera	Plant	No mainland season

Two things stand out. Half of the range rests on fruit grown in mainland France, mostly red fruit and summer fruit. The other half brings together tropical fruit, a citrus, a plant and a blue raspberry, with less expected flavours such as longan or aloe vera.

Cooling, what Cloud Vapor says and does not say

In its presentation of the range, Cloud Vapor speaks of ‘refreshing’ flavours and a ‘wind of freshness’, to translate its words. On the product pages, however, the stated composition is limited to propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine and flavourings, with no cooling agent mentioned. The maker publishes no cooling level for any flavour.

So we will not rank the sixteen references on a cold scale that exists nowhere. The only cooling stated in black and white is in the sister range, Kung Freeze, which Cloud Vapor describes as duos of Kung Fruits flavours combined with a cooling component.

Kung Freeze Dragon thus brings together Pitaya and Ryugan, while Midnight pairs Pitaya with Kashi. If you want real cold, that is where to look, and the quiet role pitaya plays in those duos is covered in our analysis of the real taste of dragon fruit. The fresh feel some find in Suika, Meron or Remon owes more to the nature of the fruit than to any stated additive.

Which flavour for which vaper

With no pyramid or graded cooling to read, the choice comes down to fruit family. Here is our reading, based on the fruit stated for each name.

Red and dark fruit lovers

Akaïmi, Ishigo, Sakuran, Kuberi and Kashi cover raspberry, strawberry, cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant. Kuberi and Kashi bring the darkest register, Akaïmi and Ishigo the most immediate. Burumi, the blue raspberry that Cloud Vapor describes as sweet and slightly tart, aims at a bolder profile.

Summer fruit

Suika, the watermelon, and Meron, the melon, play the watery fruit card, with Tsuri, the peach, for a fleshier note. These are the three that most recall summer fruit.

Exotic explorers

Mango, Painappu, Reishi, Ryugan and Pitaya form the tropical block. Ryugan, the longan, is the least expected of the group and the most rewarding to try if you already know mango and pineapple. Pitaya, the most discreet, suits fans of light fruit.

The odd ones out

Remon, the lemon, and Aroe, the aloe vera, step outside classic fruit. The first brings clear sharpness, the second a note that is more green than fruity.

Formats and nicotine in the UK

Most flavours come in several sizes, all in 50/50. The choice mainly depends on how you take your nicotine, and UK rules shape the options.

Nicotine only comes in the 10 ml bottle. On the product pages we checked, strengths are 3, 6 and 12 mg/ml, and the Pitaya page adds 18 mg/ml plus nicotine salt versions, all within the UK limit of 20 mg/ml for nicotine e-liquid in bottles of no more than 10 ml.

Both larger sizes, 50 ml and 100 ml, are nicotine-free shortfills. According to the maker, the 50 ml bottle takes one 10 ml nicotine shot, which gives about 3.3 mg/ml with a shot at 20 mg/ml. For a cooled flavour with nicotine already in the bottle, Kung Freeze also comes in 10 ml at 3, 6 or 12 mg/ml.

FAQ

Specific questions about the range, beyond the glossary and the pick by palate.

Is Kuberi blackberry or blueberry?

Blackberry, according to Cloud Vapor, which presents Kuberi as a single-flavour blackberry recipe. Some retailer listings nonetheless describe it as a mentholated blueberry. When a shop and the maker disagree, the maker’s page is the one to trust.

Are Kung Fruits recipes available as flavour concentrates?

Yes, several flavours are offered as concentrates for DIY. The maker gives a specific dosage for each, for example 25% for Ishigo and 15% for Ryugan, which shows that flavour strength varies from one fruit to another.

What is the Rutsu range?

A separate Cloud Vapor collection, in 50 ml and 50/50, built on a base of snake fruit, or salak, with Kung Fruits flavours added. These are blends, unlike the single-flavour Kung Fruits.

Does the ratio change with the bottle size?

Not for Kung Fruits, where every size is 50/50. The difference concerns the sister range Kung Freeze, whose 100 ml bottle moves to 30/70, richer in glycerine, for low-resistance coils and airy draws.

Can two single-flavour bottles be mixed?

Nothing prevents it, and it is in fact the principle of Kung Freeze, which combines two Kung Fruits recipes. Mixing two nicotine-free bottles stays simple, as long as you keep the same 50/50 base and account for any nicotine shot already added.

Choosing a Kung Fruits e liquid by the fruit, not the name

Behind its martial arts theme, the range is very simple. One name, one fruit, one 50/50 base. Once the glossary is translated, you choose by family, from red fruit to exotics, and cooling is found in Kung Freeze rather than in the sixteen single flavours.

To avoid mix-ups between shop listings, keep one simple habit. Before buying a Kung Fruits e liquid, check the fruit stated by Cloud Vapor, then pick the size according to how you prefer to dose your nicotine.

More blends to unpick

This breakdown is written for adults. Most vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive, and nicotine products cannot be sold to anyone under 18 in the UK. Alchimie Fruitée reads recipes, sells nothing, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy.
