e-Juice Review: Delight – Cream Caramel by Belmont Vape
Welcome back!
It’s the beginning of the week, and today I’m finishing off the Belmont Vapes Original range of eliquids! Yep that’s right, there’s only one left to review!
This next flavour is a little different than the rest. It’s not a fruit, it’s not a blend, or anything similar to what we’ve looked at already. This last one, is a Dessert. The only Dessert flavour in the “Originals” range for that matter!
Today I’ll be reviewing “Delight – Cream Caramel” from Belmont Vape.
(This eliquid was supplied by Belmont Vape for review. )
Flavour Description
[From the website]
Delight: Cream caramel drizzle providing a sweet sensation all day long
The Review
Yup, this one is the only Dessert profile of the range, the others are all fruits or combinations of fruits. So what exactly has Belmont Vapes given us as their ‘only’ dessert!
This one is rich and creamy with a lot of character, you’ll instantly recognise this profile, and how decadent it can be!
Clouded in dark, rich caramel, this cream is thick and sweet, not quite a custard, but so much more than just a cream!
Individual Notes
While there is a lot going on in this flavour, being layered, and creamy, there are two main notes, as the title and description elude to.
The caramel is quite a dominant flavour, it has a burnt sugar feel to it. Not quite as dominant as some other e-liquids, but being that it is partnered up with a fairly quiet cream here, comes across as being the stronger, and more in your face note. It is rich, and sweet, just as a caramel should be, but rather than a candy caramel, it carries more of a Creme Brulee feel to it.
The cream is very light, but it’s actually quite an authentic cream. It has a lot of substance to it, yet doesn’t throw out any falsities as to what it is.
Some e-liquids like their creams to be a little stronger, and quite often end up ruining them, with notes that simply shouldn’t be there.
This is not one of those creams. You can expect a lovely thickened, almost marshmallow creamy background that doesn’t detract from the caramel.
Inhale & Exhale
On the inhale, and exhale, you won’t get different themes with this one. It’s all or nothing here. Both flavours appear in the inhale and the exhale, sure, at slightly different volumes, but they are both there.
The inhale is creamier at first, with not a lot of caramel really at play, yet. It’s thick and creamy, but light and clean. As you inhale however, the caramel starts to move in sharpening things up a little and offering up it’s extra sweetness as it’s intensity grows.
Still smooth and a little fluffy, the cream seems content with letting the caramel just stroll on in and take the stage, pushing a light burnt note through as it strengthens.
At the top of the inhale is where things are mostly at their maximum intensity, with the sugary sweet, rich caramel pushing an almost Creme Brulee feel, while the cleaner, thickened cream holds up the background, and provides not only support but a super silky smooth and volumous base.
As you exhale, the caramel continues to dominate, slowly showing both of it’s shades, one being a sugary sweet Creme Brulee, the other a harsher, more burnt sugar note, both blending together to create an intricate, yet substantially rich caramel.
The caramel enjoys the limelight for a little bit longer, then slowly falls back a little as you begin to notice the cream a little more toward the end of the exhale. It’s a nice thick and silky cream, that helps fill the background and your palate, with texture, not quite contrasting with the caramel, but not quite blending in completely with it either.
The rest of the vape is a smooth sweet cream, with a caramel washing over the top of it.
Final thoughts
This is a great dessert, and a good pick by Belmont for the only dessert in their range. It has all the expected richness of a dessert as well as that thick creamy background that makes all great desserts, great.
The only thing that I had an issue with vaping this one, was that I did grow tired of it quickly. I think that the level of richness of the caramel, and that slight burnt note could have been dialed back a little to give it a little more longevity. The Cream is lovely, and this would have still been an awesome blend with a little less caramel and a little more cream.
Having said that, dessert lovers are going to go nuts over this one, specially those with higher wattage builds, as this one really does sing with dual coils and higher temperatures.
If you love your caramels and creams, you’ve got to try this one!

Presentation:
Excellent presentation here. Belmont have done a great job with their labels, portraying what they were going for perfectly. Think old school cordial, or fruit and veg shop logo and lettering.
I received 60ml chubby gorilla bottles, with child-proof and tamper proof lids, and a needle tip dispenser.
The labels are of a lovely design, with different coloured backgrounds for the differing flavours, and fancy old school graphics.
Front and center is the logo, juice name and flavour profile, and on the back you’ve got all the info you’ll ever need, ingredients, warnings, PG/VG ratio, bar code, and there’s even a bit of information on the back describing the juice range.
Test rigs:
Original Haku Cruiser running a single 0.17 framed staple coil on a mech mod/variable wattage mod.
