Comments on the packaging

References 7, 8 and 9 of the new Claude Henaux collection take us on a journey around the world of tea and the road-trip promises to be exciting after a # 7 which immediately hit hard. Today we are leaving Japan for China for a new fragrant drink. 

The conditioning is, as usual with the creator, a marvel. Very haute couture rectangular bottle, corrugated cardboard box that adds an artisanal aspect, glass pipette and complete information, we are clearly in an assumed craftsman, who masters his product from the creation of the e-liquid to that of the single vial or label. 

The #7 is available in 0, 3, 6 and 12mg / ml of nicotine, thus ensuring a good compatibility with all public vapers.

The liquid is mounted on a base of 40/60 PG / VG ratio which is here ideal for exhaling flavors without reducing the amount of vapor. Moreover, you even have the guarantee of the presence of 60% vegetable glycerin since the aromatic mixture, mounted on propylene glycol, is added to the glycerin to ensure that the share of it does not decrease. . The given ratio is therefore not that at the input, as very often with most manufacturers, but at the output. 

In 30ml for a few more weeks, # 8 is already sold in 10ml to meet the ridiculous prohibition of European laws.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Of course, you will not know the name of the laboratory which ensures the production, we like to keep a certain silence at Claude Henaux. Designer coquetry or jealously guarded secret? Difficult to say with certainty.

On the other hand, everything else is a symphony in perfect harmony with the current regulations. Pictos, warnings and composition, it is irreproachable.

The peak is reached with, in addition to the presence of a batch number and an optimal use date, a unique number per vial. No, you are not dreaming, your copy will have a different serial number than mine. In terms of traceability, it seems difficult to me to do better.

Comments on the packaging

Unlike any other on the world market, the packaging is a strong sign which symbolizes the scarcity of the liquid, its belonging to the gastronomic tradition of our country and a certain idea of ​​French luxury.

I appreciate the label with a black background which presents us with a wolf, a sort of typical Venetian carnival mask as well as a feather, crossed parables of culture and Epicureanism. A whole pleasing program that reflects elegance and sobriety.

This is also what emanates from this packaging which seduces by its originality but also and above all by the undeniable class that it exudes.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Incomprehensible!

As a general rule, an e-liquid is an emulation, an imitation of one or more elements and the best tend towards a realism that our brain supplements with the information it has. Here, it is not at all that.

We have indeed in the mouth a perfect black tea, as if you were tasting it in a cup. Not a cheap Western-style black tea but rather what the Chinese call red tea, an oolong tea that has been worked and fermented for several years, which is illustrated by its great sweetness and a naturally sweet appearance that comes to stem the bitterness of leaf.

But we also feel the clear and distinct presence of a bergamot which pleasantly scents the tea. We are therefore on a very powerful Earl Gray which is in perfect harmony with the name of the juice since the Earl of Gray was the Englishman who introduced this type of tea to the royal court.

The recipe is magical because it is breathtakingly realistic. A true taste that I have never found in any other liquid. This is not a tea e-liquid, it is tea. And the length in the mouth, quite impressive, only reinforces the idea.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Get your best atomizer. The one typified for the flavors. You can opt for a tight or airy airflow as you wish, the aromatic power of # 8 making it largely capable of accepting well-sized aeration (without excess, however, no cloud-chasing with this liquid). A warm or cold or hot temperature, your choice, the result always being very consistent and realistic. It's up to you to determine the heat of your tea! 

With a normal hit for the ratio, the # 8 allows itself to be very prolific in steam generation. A good single-coil dripper, mounted in clapton around 0.7 / 0.8Ω with an airflow but not too much, thanks to perfection.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Perfection does not exist.

This is what I thought. Today, I doubt. The veracity of this liquid is such that it is difficult to know, when you have it in your mouth, if you have just vaped or drunk it. It is at the limit of comprehension… quality of the aromas, relevance of the assembly? I don't know and, to be honest, I don't care. Let me calmly vape this nectar, test it for yourself and you will quickly understand why I give it, again, a Top Juice.

Unless the success lies in the absence of sweetener, preservatives, water or alcohol and that this purity of the aromas selected with the greatest care is the great secret of the craftsman who, decidedly, continues to amaze us again and again.
