Comments on the packaging
Bayou is part of the E-lixirs liquid range, developed by Solana. Its taste orientation is greedy. It comes in a small semi-rigid black bottle with a capacity of 10ml. Its opening is done after having broken the links which hold the cap to the ring around the bottle, thus attesting that it is new. The opacity of the plastic material is such that the liquid will keep very well over time since the light does not pass through.
The base liquid is well proportioned since the balance between propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin is 50% for each. The nicotine levels offered for this product are: 0mg, 3mg, 6mg and 12mg / ml. For this test my vial is at 3mg / ml. You also have the possibility of finding this product in concentrate for DIY, since Solana also manufactures and markets flavorings without a base.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The 10ml bottle is a bit small for my taste but future standards will impose it on us, so we will have to get used to it. This product is a good example of compliance with a safe cap that avoids the risk of accident in order to protect children, the dangerousness pictogram indicates the presence of nicotine visible in bulk on the label. The relief marking in the form of a triangle is located on the top of the cap and feels good to the touch for the visually impaired, however, and in order to fully comply with future regulations, the labeling must include a raised pictogram, a picto -18, and the one who advises against the nicotine product for pregnant women, in addition to the written information (and double labeling).
The composition, the precautions for use and the recommendations take almost half of the label in order to be sufficiently legible. Right next to these inscriptions there is a white vertical strip, on which we can read: the PG / VG ratio, the batch number and the BBD, but be careful, I advise you to place a piece of tape over it, because these inscriptions tend to fade.
The nicotine level is noted under the name of the range. The name of the liquid is indicated roughly in the direction of the length not to be mistaken of flask. The laboratory that manufactured this juice provides an address and a telephone number if necessary. Solana went so far as to put the poison center number.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
The packaging is elegant with a completely black bottle as the bottom of the label. The graphics and inscriptions are nuanced in silver, white and gray colors.
In the foreground we have a capital "S" with the name of the range and the nicotine level which makes it possible to identify this product, then by turning the bottle a little, we can read the name of the liquid in a vertical silver rectangle, accompanied by a drawing of a doll with needles. A Voodoo sign to remind Creole beliefs. A little further on we read the useful and important information that occupies half of the label.
Standard packaging for a range that looks very similar from one bottle to another, only the name of the product is the associated design right next to it, which is different from the other bottles. However, it is a product which is at the entry level and which remains correct. Personally, I would have liked a more obvious distinction.

Comments on the taste of the juice
At the smell I have a ripe banana aroma. A sweet and pleasant fragrance of a cooked banana.
When I drink, during the suction I feel perfectly the taste of banana cooked in butter with the taste of very ripe fruit. A flavor that is quite realistic and that makes the difference between a fruity liquid is a gourmet liquid. No mistake on this one, the fruit is worked and the aromas are rich and sweet. A gourmet pleasure that we want to enjoy with a little whipped cream and small pieces of hazelnuts. Too bad that the mouthing does not hold more than that. An ephemeral delight that remains fairly light and does not go bad.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Although this Bayou is a gourmet liquid, I prefer to enjoy it on an atomiser tank or a clearomizer with moderate powers. Too warm, this liquid tends to bring out the "ripe" side of the fruit to erase the original banana flavor and it's a shame.
However you will not be disappointed by the steam production which is quite dense. The average hit is correctly dosed for a liquid in 3mg / ml.

My mood ticket on this juice
No Bayou is not a fruity, even if its banana taste lets you think the opposite, it is obviously a gourmand.
A pastry flavor based on a very ripe fruit and cooked in butter, the taste is so close to reality that one would almost see the liquid as a dessert with a small coffee, watered and a whipped cream on the plate, dotted with chips of hazelnuts. A nice flavor that is still light and just sweet as it should.
The consistency of the vapor in the mouth offers something condensed, like the vapor which is also is higher in quantity produced than that of a liquid in 50% of standard vegetable glycerin.
Overall, this entry-level product comes in proper packaging with validated safety compliance, and just a few additions to consider on the label. only the 10ml seems insufficient for the day, too bad for me, thank you TPD.
