Frost Berry Cloud
Ice Strawberry Melon contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, ethyl methylphenylglycidate — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Guava relies on ethyl butyrate, cinnamate esters, myrcene for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
