Simulation of the taste of ice cream flavored e-cigarettes

The taste simulation of ice cream-flavored e-cigarettes needs to be achieved through the collaborative design of flavor replication, coolness creation and texture perception. The following analyzes its core logic from four aspects: taste level, coolness control, technical adaptation and user experience:

First, flavor replication: Restoring the taste memory of ice cream

Construction of milk fat base

Cream and condensed milk: Natural milk fat extract is used to simulate the rich milk aroma of ice cream. Some products will add the enzymatic hydrolysis products of light cream to enhance the smoothness and sweetness of the texture.

Lactose and caramelization reaction: A slight caramelization reaction occurs during the atomization process with a trace amount of lactose, simulating the sweet and fragrant aftertaste of ice cream after baking and avoiding excessive sweetness and greasiness.

Layering of flavors

Classic flavor replication: The vanilla flavor is recreated through the blend of vanillin and ethyl vanillin, restoring the warm aroma of vanilla pods. The chocolate flavor is made with dark chocolate extract and cocoa butter essence, maintaining a balance between a hint of bitterness and a rich body.

Creative mix and match: For instance, the matcha ice cream flavor is neutralized by adding Uji matcha powder extract and slightly salty sea salt essence, adding a refreshing layer. The strawberry ice cream flavor is superimposed with freeze-dried strawberry powder and lactic acid bacteria fermentation products, simulating the fusion of strawberry flesh and yogurt.

Second, cooling sensation control: Simulate the low-temperature touch of ice cream

Gradient design of coolant

Top note burst of coolness: Use WS-23 coolant (concentration 0.3%-0.5%) to provide a refreshing impact at the moment of inhalation, simulating the first sip of coolness when ice cream enters the mouth.

Sustained coolness in the middle and base notes: Combined with menthol derivatives (such as L-menthoone) and ice-like essence, the coolness is released slowly in the mouth, preventing it from dissipating rapidly.

The synergy of coolness and flavor

Fruit-flavored ice cream: A higher proportion of cooling agents (such as 0.6% WS-23) are added to fruit flavors like mango and blueberry to highlight the refreshing feeling of the fruits and mask the possible stickiness caused by residual sweeteners.

Milk-flavored ice cream: In flavors such as vanilla and milk, the concentration of cooling agents is controlled (≤0.3%) to prevent the coolness from masking the richness of the milk fat, while enhancing the lightness upon entry through a slight coolness.

Third, technical adaptation: The support of atomization process for texture

Viscosity and fluidity of atomizing liquid

Ice crease-flavored e-liquid usually adopts a high VG (vegetable glycerin) proportion (≥70%) to simulate the dense texture of ice cream, but a small amount of PEG-400 (polyethylene glycol) needs to be added to adjust the viscosity and prevent the atomization core from clogging.

Some products will add microcrystalline cellulose (0.1%-0.2%), which forms tiny particles after atomization to simulate the granular texture of ice cream. However, the addition amount needs to be controlled to avoid a scraping sensation in the throat.

De verstuivingstemperatuur wordt afgestemd op het vermogen

Low-temperature atomization (160-180℃) : It prevents high temperatures from destroying the flavor substances of milk fat and simultaneously reduces the bitterness caused by the carbonization of the atomization liquid.

Power adaptation: Use a low-power atomizing core (8-12W) to ensure that high-viscosity e-liquid is fully atomized, while reducing the smoke temperature and enhancing the cool experience.

Fourth, user Experience: Contextualization and psychological suggestion

Scenario-based adaptation

Summer scene: Enhance the coolness and fruit flavors, such as watermelon ice cream flavor. By adding watermelon ketone and high-concentration cooling agents, it creates a refreshing feeling of “one bite into summer”.

Nighttime scene: Introduce a vanilla ice cream flavor with a low coolness and high fat content, combined with melatonin analogues (under compliance), to create the concept of “sleep-inducing sweet fog”.

Psychological suggestion design

Packaging and naming: It adopts ice cream cup-shaped smoke cones, macaron-colored shells, or is named “Strawberry Sundae”, “Sea Salt Caramel”, etc., to enhance the taste association of ice cream through visual and naming.

Aroma diffusion: A trace amount of homologous essence is added to the sealing layer of the cigarette cartridge. When the box is opened, it releases an aroma, further stimulating users’ anticipation for the ice cream.

Ten vijfde, potentiële geschillen en tips voor consumenten

Ingrediënt gezondheidscontroverse

Safety of milk fat emulsions: Some products use artificial emulsifiers (such as monoglyceride and diglyceride fatty acid esters) to simulate the taste of milk fat. The impact of long-term inhalation on the respiratory tract remains undetermined.

Cooling agent tolerance: Excessive use of WS-23 may cause a stinging sensation in users with sensitive throats. It is recommended that first-time users start with low-concentration products.

Waarschuwing voor chaos op de markt

False flavor promotion: Some low-priced products use flavoring instead of natural extracts, resulting in the ice cream having a thin taste and a pungent cold sensation. It is recommended to choose products whose ingredient labels clearly indicate “milk fat extract” or “natural vanillin”.

Risk of cold sensation dependence: Long-term use of high-cold sensation e-cigarettes may reduce users’ acceptance of traditional tobacco flavors and increase the difficulty of quitting smoking.

Ten zesde, suggesties voor aankoop en gebruik

Component prioriteit

Natural extracts > Synthetic flavors: Natural milk fat and vanilla extracts can provide a more natural flavor transition and reduce the chemical sensation.

Avoid sweetener accumulation: Prioritize the use of products combining sucralose and stevioside to prevent sweet taste fatigue caused by a single sweetener.

Aanpassing van het gebruiksscenario

Outdoor activities: Choose fruit ice cream flavors with a high cooling sensation and low fat content, such as mint lemon sorba flavor, to avoid changes in the viscosity of the e-liquid caused by high temperatures, which may affect the taste.

Home relaxation: You can try the classic vanilla flavor with a high fat content and low coolness. Pair it with a temperature-regulating main unit and set the power to 10W to bring out the rich aroma of the fat.

The essence of the taste simulation of ice cream-flavored e-cigarettes is a three-dimensional deception of “taste – coolness – texture” – through the synergistic effect of the cream base and the coolness agent, combined with the simulation of texture by the atomization process, the illusion of “inhaling ice cream” is constructed in the user’s mind. Its core value lies in “zero-calorie sweetness” and “immediate satisfaction”, but consumers should be vigilant about the possible sensory dullness caused by over-reliance on cool-feeling products, and give priority to choosing brands with mature technology and transparent ingredients. For users who pursue a sense of “authenticity”, it is recommended to try the compound flavors of “vanilla ice cream + caramel crisps” or “matcha ice cream + red bean paste”, enhancing the layering effect through flavor layering and reducing the monotony of a single flavor.
