The Four Creatures: Shijin Flavors Explained
“Shijin” refers to the four legendary guardians of Chinese mythology. Shijin Vapor names each of its core flavors after one of them.
| Creature | Flavor | What it tastes like |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon | Dragon Cloud | A glazed cinnamon roll with vanilla ice cream |
| Phoenix | Phoenix Tears | [FLAVOR DESCRIPTION] |
| Tiger | Tiger’s Milk | Black tea with juicy peach and milk |
| Tortoise | Tortoise Blood | Blue raspberry, green apple, and sherbet |
Dragon Cloud
Dragon Cloud is Shijin’s dessert flavor: a warm cinnamon roll drizzled with glaze, paired with vanilla ice cream.
Tiger’s Milk
Tiger’s Milk is a milk tea: hearty black tea with peach, finished with milk. It’s one of the few tea-based e-liquids on the market. Also available: Shijin Tiger 30ml salt nic.
Tortoise Blood and the Tortoise Series
Tortoise Blood is Shijin’s signature fruit flavor: blue raspberry and green apple with a creamy sherbet finish. Tortoise On Ice is the chilled version. Also available: Shijin Tortoise 30ml salt nic.
Gummy Series
A candy line built around gummy rings.
- Peach Rings — sweet peach gummy rings.
100ml Freebase or 30ml Salt Nic?
The 100ml bottles are freebase for sub-ohm tanks and box mods. The 30ml bottles are nicotine salt for pod systems. Don’t use high-strength salt nic in a sub-ohm tank — it delivers far more nicotine than intended.
