Eight flavours. Eight stories. Eight kanji. One brand.
Every Kuro flavour started the same way: take a familiar UK favourite, blood orange, dragon fruit, matcha, cherry, and ask what happens if you injected it with Tokyo-after-dark voltage. Some are loud. Some are stealthy. None of them taste like the bottle next to them.
This guide is your shortcut. We've broken every one down: what's in it, what it tastes like, who it's built for, what setup to vape it on.
All flavours are available in 10ml nic salt (5/10/20mg) and 100ml shortfill (0mg + nic shot).
/// 血 KAKIGORI BLOOD
Flavour notes: Blood orange · shaved ice · sweet syrup
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
Japanese summer kakigori, the shaved ice dessert sold by street vendors in Tokyo, drenched in sweet syrup. Kakigori Blood is the blood-orange version, with the ice cranked up. |
What It Tastes Like
Big, juicy blood orange on the inhale. The shaved-ice menthol kick mid-pull. A sweet-syrup finish that lingers like the last sip of an Aperol spritz on a hot night. |
Who It's For
Citrus fans who think "orange" e-liquid is too vague. People who want their vape to feel cold without tasting like menthol toothpaste. Summer all-day-vape candidates. |
/// 竜 RYU BERRY
Flavour notes: Dragon fruit (pitaya) · lychee · blackcurrant
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
The dragon fruit is ryu, and this one earns the name. Three exotic-leaning fruits, layered. |
What It Tastes Like
Dragon fruit's mild kiwi-melon body comes first, then lychee adds rose-tinted sweetness, then blackcurrant slams in at the back. It's the most fruit-forward in the range, but never sickly, the blackcurrant edge keeps it sharp. |
Who It's For
Berry-blend drinkers who've worn out blue razz. Anyone who finds plain blackcurrant boring but doesn't want a fruit salad. |
/// 茶 MATCHA LATTE
Notes: Sweet matcha · condensed milk · vanilla
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
The Tokyo café staple. Whisked ceremonial-grade matcha, condensed milk to soften the bitterness, vanilla to round it out. |
What It Tastes Like
Earthy green-tea on the inhale, proper matcha bitterness, not vague "tea," then condensed milk creaminess takes over, and the vanilla closes it out smoothly. Dessert-coded but not dessert-heavy. |
Who It's For
Vapers who've outgrown sweet bakery vapes but still want comfort. Coffee-and-tea drinkers. Anyone who'd order a matcha latte at the café. |
/// 桜 SAKURA NIGHTS
Notes: Dark cherry · sakura (cherry blossom) · crushed ice
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
Hanami after dark. Sakura blossoms backlit by neon, dark cherry sweetness, the crushed-ice clink of a cocktail in a backstreet bar. |
What It Tastes Like
Dark cherry, closer to morello than maraschino, leads. Sakura adds floral lift behind it, more delicate than rose, more interesting than vanilla. The crushed ice keeps the whole thing from getting heavy. |
Who It's For
People who like cherry but find UK cherry vapes too sweet or medicinal. Floral-curious vapers. Late-night atmospheric vape candidates. |
/// 騾 TOKYO MULE
Notes: Zesty lime · spicy ginger · crushed ice
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
The cocktail. Vodka swapped for vapour. Built for the moment a Moscow Mule lands at your table, that first cold, spicy, citrus hit. |
What It Tastes Like
Lime zest fires first - sharp, fresh, no bitterness. The ginger heat builds through the inhale, peaks at the back of the throat. The crushed ice cools the spice down on exhale. A flavour that genuinely tastes like a cocktail, not "cocktail-flavoured." |
Who It's For
Lime/citrus enthusiasts. Anyone who wants something bracing instead of sweet. Best paired with summer evenings. |
/// 梅 UMESHU PLUM
Notes: Japanese plum (ume) · brown sugar · green apple
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
Umeshu, Japan's classic plum liqueur. Sweet, tart, faintly funky, served chilled at the end of a meal. |
What It Tastes Like
The umeshu plum is the star - tart, almost cured, with that distinct ume funk that separates it from any plum vape you've had before. Brown sugar warms the back end. Green apple keeps it crisp instead of cloying. |
Who It's For
Vapers ready for an actually different flavour profile, the most "Japanese"-tasting in the range. People bored of European fruit vapes. |
/// 萄 AKIBA GRAPE
Notes: Japanese grape (kyoho) · blackcurrant · ice
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
Akihabara, late at night, kyoho grape candy in the konbini display. The deepest, sweetest grape in the world meets a cold UK staple. |
What It Tastes Like
Kyoho grape is heavy and dark, way more intense than European concord. Blackcurrant amplifies the dark-fruit body without competing. The ice cuts through the sweetness so it's never syrupy. |
Who It's For
Grape-vape regulars who want something more serious than a sweet shop bottle. Blackcurrant fans looking for an upgrade. |
/// 岳 MOMO FUJI
Notes: Japanese white peach · Fuji apple · shiso leaf · crushed ice
| Inspired By | What It Tastes Like | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
|
Inspired By
The view from Mount Fuji - clean, layered, slightly herbal. Two of Japan's most prized fruits with a herb that ties them together. |
What It Tastes Like
Japanese white peach (sweeter and more delicate than yellow peach) leads. Fuji apple adds crisp body. Shiso, the green herb served with sushi, provides a savoury, almost minty lift that stops the whole thing from being too sweet. Then the crushed ice closes it. |
Who It's For
Peach-vape lovers who want it less candy-shop. Adventurous palates ready for a herbal note. The most refined flavour in the range. |
