Comments on the packaging

Claude Henaux is a manufacturer apart in French vaping. Finding himself completely in the status of craftsman, the man loves luxury without fuss and muffled pleasure. He posed all alone, trusting his instinct alone and his claimed epicureanism, a first round of six juices that had totally conquered us at the Vapelier. So much so that the six Top Juices collected had earned us remarks on our neutrality. We had returned the tongues hanging on tasting these liquids and many came back to us saying that they understood now ...

Timeless, out of fashion, Claude Henaux's liquids reflect his complex personality and his love of true flavors. Here, the range is enriched with three new references focused on tea, such as an initiatory journey around the planet through a simple cup and a pinch of magic leaves. Tea is the second most consumed drink in the world. After the water! It was well worth the creator to look into the subject a bit.

The # 7 is therefore a Sencha tea, this typically Japanese variety of green tea whose leaves are steamed to obtain the plant's least perverted form of expression. 

As usual with those skilled in the art, we have an above reproach packaging. A bottle created by and for the brand acts as an eye-catcher, evoking the French Touch of classic perfumery. Equipped with a pipette not deep enough to go to the bottom of the bottle, it is still suitable for filling your atomizers. And then, what class! All made of discretion and elegance, the bottle rests in an open corrugated cardboard box, almost industrial in aesthetics, which also allows to have access to the complete information appearing on the bottle.

Available in 10ml and 30ml and 0, 3, 6 and 12mg / ml of nicotine, the #7, like its range brothers is mounted on a base ensuring 60% of vegetable glycerine (guaranteed rate because the aromatic mixture is added to the VG).

In short, another adventure that starts well. Claude Henaux goes to Japan and takes us in his luggage.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

I suggest you start with the only downside that I could meet on the security chapter, it will go faster. The mention of the production laboratory is missing. Period. One can imagine that the facetious personality of the creator pushed him to keep this information for himself in order to keep his little secrets intact. That wouldn't surprise me ... 

Everything else is prominently displayed, clear and well presented. No forgetting, neither in the obligatory pictograms, nor in the legal warnings. The lot and BBD numbers appear on the bottom of the bottle and each bottle is numbered. Yes, you read correctly. I'm currently testing # 415 on the first batch of 4000. A serial number, like on atomizers or mods from the biggest brands. For once, at the level of traceability, difficult to do better. And in terms of the effect, we can only feel honored by so much attention.

Comments on the packaging

The packaging itself is already a poem.

The unique rectangular bottle, molded according to the manufacturer's express requests, evokes French haute couture. The cardboard box adds an undeniable industrial aspect. The label, common to all the brand's liquids, displays a feather and a Venetian mask, undoubtedly in homage to the well-known France Inter radio show. You can cultivate yourself by vaping or you vape by cultivating yourself, as you wish. 

Between haute couture and literary culture, it is a tribute to a large part of the French tradition. A tradition that Claude Henaux intends to continue in his liquids.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Close your eyes… you are elsewhere.

When we talk about tea in the vape, it is usually a mint tea, very sweet, Moroccan, which saturates your taste buds for a whiff of gourmande, without this besides a defect.

Here, none of that. We are dealing with an ascetic tea, earthly and closest to the plant. A drink reserved for those who do not put coca in their whiskey or blackcurrant in their white wine. A moment of contemplation that propels you into a Shinto shrine on the slopes of Fujiyama in the company of a monk soldier.

The taste is indescribable as it is close to green tea. Juggling between bitterness and the herbal aspect of the pure leaf, devoid of the slightest ounce of sugar, it explains to us a deeper reality than any other liquid. At the limit of the mystical experience, # 7 is a rare pearl, a unique flavor, a perfect moment. Without doubt one of the best e-liquids in the world.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Even if its aromatic power is quite strong and if its viscosity makes it compatible with any advanced atomization system, it is in a flavor-typed dripper that # 7 will take off.

The vapor is thick and very white, a sign that does not deceive the quality of the vegetable glycerin and the veracity of its ratio. The hit is powerful without being disturbing. The airflow can be airy or tight, the flavors remain intact. The aromatic quality is well above that.

My mood ticket on this juice

I feel that we will still receive mail….

Too bad, my job here is to describe what I'm testing. And what I had the privilege, because it is, to taste today is the quintessence of the quality that one can ask of an exceptional liquid. See nothing else, you would be making a terrible mistake.

The #7 will delight those who love raw tea without concessions. And its taste is even superior to 90% of teas to infuse trade. This defies all logic but, if you test it, you will understand.

There remains a high rate in absolute terms. But it is a price that I risk qualifying as reasonable as the quality is omnipresent, in the unique packaging, in the incredible taste of truth and in the bias to use no sweetener, no coloring, or preservative to ensure a realistic, non-rigged experience. 

An experience beyond words.
