Comments on the packaging

The latest offspring of the tobacco family from Liquidarom, the California Blend is therefore part of a range focused on first-time vapers which offers nine different tobacco flavors, one of which will certainly suit your habits, whether you come from the brunette gypsy or from the luscious blonde.

To do this, we find in the collection well-oiled genetic constants that the California uses to its advantage. 

First, the liquid is built on a 70/30 PG / VG basis, a typical beginner ratio if there is one, and comes in four perfectly adapted nicotine levels: 0, 6, 12 and 18mg / ml. Its price of around 5.50 € also places it in a position to suit its noble purpose: to help the smoker to quit his addiction to fall into the wonderful world of clouds!

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Safe vaping, France knows that well and it is not Liquidarom who will be illustrated by practicing the opposite. On the contrary, the brand has perfectly understood the legal issues so that our practice will develop in the future with fewer constraints than initially expected.

Thus, it is not surprising that nothing is lacking here to satisfy the consumer's information, which is a minimum but also to the wishes of the legislator, greedy in the matter. Nothing less than a formal perfection, incorporating all the elements made mandatory by European directives.

Proud to have been a pioneer in the field, French vaping therefore defends itself well and Liquidarom is an applied flagship. 

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in line with the price category: Could do better for the price

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

A pretty hummingbird flutters at the top of the vial. Emblem of the Var brand, it is the only graphic element that you will find on a plastic bottle, certainly practical to use but totally devoid of artistic inclinations.

If the choice of clarity and practicality is not negotiated, it is regrettable that the manufacturer has not let himself go more embellish his packaging or, at least, make it a little original so that the look grip. 

We find here a bottle of total neutrality that will remind the oldest vapers of the very first bottles of the brands that created the vape in France. A little sweet madness in there, for a country that has a culture that the world envies us, would probably not be too much and would incidentally allow the product to stand out on the stall of a shop ...

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 4.4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

A beautiful cloud of brown, resinous and woody tobacco creeps into the palate with the first puff. A second tells us that blond tobacco completes the range, slightly behind but sufficiently present to give a little pep to the roundness of the whole.

Spicy notes cross the evidence while remaining ephemeral and discreet. 

The result remains a straight tobacco, with a nice grip in the throat, typical brown. Its aromatic power is noticeable but does not surprise. This is a fairly typical cowboy tobacco not without nuances, however. 

The length in the mouth is quite marked and remains frankly around the dive plant. The recipe is complete for a liquid not pretentious and effective.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 30 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Narda
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.7
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

California Blend will vaporize at a lukewarm temperature, likely to accommodate all flavors. The airflow can be tight to imitate cigarettes or more airy because the aromatic power allows it without problem. A good Nautilus 2 type clearomizer will thank him wonderfully. 

The rise in power does not frighten him in the least and he will remain whole and balanced, including on a dripper around 40W for 0.7Ω. At this level, it will even acquire a fairly marked density which makes it compatible with more typical confirmed set-ups.

The steam is quite marked, the hit round and marked also.

My mood ticket on this juice

The ultimate test for a tobacco range that has not dropped a single notch in terms of quality. We can prefer a particular reference but it is clear that all the juices are good and stand out from each other, which was my doubt at the start. 

The California Blend, round and powerful brown mixed with blond notes, is a liquid highly recommendable to your smoking friends when they have decided to go to the vape. This is his mission and he will fulfill it wonderfully.
