IGNITE

Ignite: the fruity e-liquids of the Octogone range

On AllianceTech, the Ignite collection brings together the Octogone e-liquids, a range made in the United Kingdom. The name of the range and of its flavours (Dark Slam, Purple KO, Iron Fight, Berry Punch) come from combat sports, but the content is all about fruit: bold, sweet and slightly tangy blends designed for all-day vaping.

Not to be confused with Ignite disposable vapes, a product from another company: these are bottled e-liquids, to use in your own device.

The 8 Ignite Octogone flavours

• Dark Slam: grape and blackcurrant, deep and slightly tangy.
• Purple KO: grape, watermelon and melon.
• Golden Hook: mango, apricot and peach, a trio of yellow fruits.
• Tropic Kick: passion fruit and kiwi.
• Berry Punch: strawberry and pineapple.
• Iron Fight: blackcurrant and pineapple.
• Red Fury: red fruits and tangy orange.
• Midnight Smash: blackcurrant and tangy raspberry.

Blackcurrant appears in three recipes and gives the range its signature: a slightly sour dark fruit that balances the sweetness of the tropical fruits.

The 50 ml shortfill format

Ignite Octogone e-liquids are sold as 50 ml of nicotine-free liquid in a 70 ml bottle. The 20 ml of free space is for adding one or two 10 ml nic shots:

• One 20 mg nic shot: 60 ml of e-liquid at about 3 mg/ml.
• Two 20 mg nic shots: 70 ml at about 6 mg/ml, for a vaper who still needs a little more nicotine.
• No nic shot: the liquid is vaped as it is at 0 mg.

Add the nicotine shot, close the bottle, shake it well and let it rest for a few minutes before filling your tank.

Which device for Ignite e-liquids?

With a 50/50 ratio of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, the Octogone liquids are versatile. They work as well in a pod as in a direct-lung tank on a mod. The PG carries the fruity flavours well, and the VG gives a dense enough vapour without gunking up the coil too fast. It is a good choice for a vaper moving from 10 ml bottles to a larger format without changing hardware.

Storing your Ignite e-liquid

Once the nic shot is added, the liquid keeps for several weeks if the bottle stays tightly closed, away from light and heat. Shake it before each refill, as the nicotine and flavourings can separate slightly when left standing. Fruity, sweet recipes gunk up the coil a little faster than tobacco flavours: change it as soon as the flavours lose clarity or a burnt taste appears.

Why choose 50 ml?

The 50 ml format is much cheaper per millilitre than 10 ml bottles, and it lets you set your own nicotine strength. It makes sense as soon as you vape a flavour regularly.
