Lychee strengths
- Lighter, more aromatic daily fruit
- Less sweet on long sessions
- Better contrast next to California Sunset or mixed berry
Verdict
Buy California Sunset when you want a warm tropical blend of mango, citrus and pineapple.
Buy Lychee when you want a soft daily fruit that will not fatigue as fast as sweeter tropical SKUs.
FAQ
Is California Sunset an iced flavour?
No. Cooling is near zero. If you want peach with ice, that is the Peach Ice SKU — a different fill on the same hardware.
Is Lychee sweeter than California Sunset?
No. California Sunset sits higher on sweetness (ripe mango, citrus and pineapple). Lychee is lighter and more floral.
Should I put both in a custom pack?
Yes — they contrast well (tropical mix vs floral fruit). Add one iced SKU if you also want menthol in the same order.
Both SKUs use the same Ingot 9000 hardware — choose the fill.
