Kung Fruits on a tight draw, setting up an MTL tank for these fruit flavours
Watermelon, lemon, dragon fruit, mango. The Kung Fruits range from Cloud Vapor is a line of single-flavour fruit e-liquids, and the listings about it often stop at the fruit. Here, the hardware is what interests us. A single-flavour liquid hides nothing behind a blend, and any setting that is slightly off shows straight away. So what happens to this kind of liquid in a mouth-to-lung tank, with its 2 ml reservoir and its narrow stream of air?
Kung Fruits, a single-flavour range that suits an MTL tank
Kung Fruits is a range of e-liquids from Cloud Vapor, made in France, with one fruit per bottle, sold as 10 ml nicotine bottles, as nicotine salts and as larger nicotine-free shortfills. And yes, it suits a mouth-to-lung tank, as the manufacturer says itself. The liquids are a 50/50 mix of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, a thin ratio that flows easily through the fine wicks of mouth-to-lung coils. Cloud Vapor describes its freebase version as compatible with every tank on the market.
The nicotine salt versions go further. The Pitaya product page recommends them in particular for pod users and mouth-to-lung devices. Format, nicotine type and airflow therefore matter more than the choice of fruit when it comes to a clean mouth-to-lung vape.
What the Kung Fruits product pages say about the liquid
Before setting up a tank, it helps to know what goes into it. The table sums up what Cloud Vapor publishes on its range page and on three product pages, Suika, Remon and Pitaya.
| Point | What the manufacturer states |
|---|---|
| Ratio | 50/50, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine and flavourings |
| 10 ml nicotine bottle | 3, 6, 12 or 18 mg/ml, plus a nicotine-free version |
| Nicotine salts | 10 or 20 mg/ml |
| 50 and 100 ml bottles | nicotine-free, to be topped up with a nicotine shot |
| Production | made in France by Cloud Vapor |
| Storage | away from light and heat |
The three pages checked mention neither a cooling agent nor a sweetener, without stating that there is none. That matters for an MTL tank, since a sweet recipe usually gunks up a fine wick faster than a fruit liquid with no added sugar.
The large format, sold without nicotine and topped up with a nicotine shot, needs some preparation before use. For a 2 ml tank, the ready-to-use 10 ml bottle remains the simplest format. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is limited to 10 ml bottles and 20 mg/ml, a ceiling every version listed above stays within.
Freebase or nicotine salts, the choice that changes the draw
The same Kung Fruits recipe comes in two nicotine forms. The choice does not change the stated fruit, but it changes the throat sensation and the kit that suits it best.
Freebase nicotine, for a standard MTL tank
Offered from 3 to 18 mg/ml, it usually gives a stronger throat sensation than salts at the same strength. This is the version the manufacturer describes as compatible with every tank.
Nicotine salts, for pods and low power
Offered at 10 or 20 mg/ml, they are presented by Cloud Vapor as smoother on the throat at higher strengths. The Remon page calls them ideal for pods and low-powered devices. In an MTL kit set low, they avoid pushing the power up to find more sensation, which also spares the wick.
Setting airflow and power for a Kung Fruits flavour
A single fruit flavour leaves little margin on settings. With no blend to cover a flaw, too much air or heat soon shows.
Closing the airflow to concentrate the fruit
The narrower the air inlet, the denser the vapour stays and the more the flavour comes through. On a tank with an airflow ring, start from the tightest opening and open one step if the draw feels too stiff. The airflow comparison tool on our home page helps picture the difference in open area between two settings.
Measured power for sharp fruits
A lemon such as Remon or a watermelon such as Suika usually keeps a cleaner fruit note at low power. Pushed too hard, these profiles drift towards a cooked, heavier note. Our guide to the Innokin Zenith 2 and its Z Coils sets out the wattage range stated for each mouth-to-lung coil.
Which MTL kit for a 50/50 fruit flavour
The Kung Fruits pages name no specific device. Three features of a kit still have a direct effect on how a light fruit flavour comes across.
A higher-resistance coil and power set in steps
Mouth-to-lung coils above 1 ohm, run at modest power, pair well with a thin liquid. Stepped settings let you start low and go up one notch only if the vapour lacks body, which avoids cooking a sharp fruit. Our guide to the JustFog Q16 in practice shows that logic, with 1.2 and 1.6 ohm coils and four voltage levels.
A readable tank and adjustable airflow
A clear tube shows when to refill, before the wick runs dry. An airflow ring, even one with only a few positions, lets you tighten the draw to bring the fruit forward.
Switching between Kung Fruits flavours without mixing tastes
This is the flip side of a single-flavour range. Changing fruit exposes everything the wick has kept from the previous one, and a mango poured onto a coil that has been vaping lemon no longer really tastes of mango.
- Empty the tank rather than topping it up with another fruit.
- Rinse the tube in lukewarm water, then let it dry fully before putting it back.
- Keep one coil per fruit family if you switch often, one for citrus, one for softer fruit.
- Let the wick soak for a few minutes after each refill, especially with a new coil.
The tube itself plays a part in that change of taste. Our guide to choosing a vape tank for a tight draw compares glass and metal tubes, along with filling systems.
FAQ
Five practical questions about Kung Fruits on a tight draw, beyond the settings.
Where are Kung Fruits made?
In France, by Cloud Vapor, which describes its production as French and certified on the range page. The product pages list the ingredients, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine and flavourings.
Is a 50/50 liquid likely to leak in an MTL tank?
Usually not, because mouth-to-lung coils are designed for liquids of that consistency. A leak more often comes from a tank filled to the brim or a badly seated seal than from the ratio. Our page on the Aspire Nautilus and spitback goes through those causes.
How should an opened bottle be stored?
The manufacturer asks for it to be kept away from light and heat. A bottle closed properly and stored upright in a drawer keeps its flavour better than one left near a window.
Do Kung Fruits come nicotine-free in 10 ml?
Yes. The range page lists a 0 mg/ml version in 10 ml, alongside the 3 to 18 mg/ml strengths. The 50 ml and 100 ml bottles are always nicotine-free.
Do nicotine salts need a particular coil?
No, a mouth-to-lung coil is fine. The manufacturer mainly links salts with low power, which points towards higher-resistance coils and pods set low.
Kung Fruits in an MTL tank, a clean fruit is set on the hardware side
Kung Fruits have everything an MTL tank likes, a thin ratio, a 10 ml bottle in freebase and salt versions, and one fruit per recipe. The result depends mostly on how much air the vapour gets and how much power reaches the wick.
A tight draw, measured power and a rinse between two fruits are enough to keep each recipe readable. The same logic guides any mouth-to-lung tank built for flavour, whatever liquid goes into its 2 ml, Kung Fruits included.
