Comments on the packaging

It is Carmel's turn to take the test of the Vapelier evaluation protocol.
Remember that if the brand and Flavor Art juices are of Italian origin, it is through the will of the distributor for France, Absotech, that we owe the reception of this production.

Packaged in 10 ml in transparent plastic vials, they have a fine tip at the end.
50/40 PG / VG ratio, the remaining 10% being reserved for nicotine, aromas and distilled water.
Nicotine level ranging from 0, 4,5, 9 to 18 mg / ml. These dosages are identifiable by caps of different colors:
Green for 0 mg / ml
Light blue for 4,5 mg / ml
Blue for 9 mg / ml
Red for 18 mg / ml

The price of 5,50 € 10 ml positions the juice in the category of entry-level.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The products meet the ISO 8317 standard and are therefore compliant.
On the other hand, I noted the absence of certain pictograms replaced by text already widely present. Suddenly, the amount of information becomes particularly indigestible and it looks like it was put there because it has to be.
The cap securing system is original, however I am not convinced of its effectiveness in the hands or mouths of young children. The first opening seal consists of a breakable tab, the opening then being ensured by pressure on the sides at the top of the stopper.

Note the effort of the brand, which offers us juices without alcohol and other prohibited substances. A DLUO and a lot number as well as the coordinates of the place of manufacture and those of distributions.

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

The packaging is basic, without any particular power of attraction. As the notion of incentive is also absent, this is enough to satisfy the legislator ...

For the name, I would have liked to know the meaning of the name Carmel for a caramel juice. I do not see which translation could correspond and I see even less the relation with the French name. Unless Flavor Art doesn't want us to talk about its juice. Carmel is the name of a mendicant order dedicated to solitude, prayer and the apostolate ... difficult to see a link with the topic of the day ...
Or would I dare? This is not a typo and a manufacturer who decides to leave it as is. But here, I am using the wrong language ...

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree?: No
  • Definition of odor: Chemical (does not exist in nature)

  • This liquid reminds me: Nothing

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 2.5/5 2.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

I'm sorry, but as almost always with this production, the percentage of aromas is so low that it is very difficult to smell anything.
When vaping, under certain conditions, I manage to feel some reminiscences of caramel ... relatively distant from the original flavor.
The sweet taste and the caramelized do not marry. Both are clearly detached making any attempt to find good intentions to this recipe vain despite the initial postulate.

The production of steam is in accordance with the dosage and decency I prefer not to speak of the aromatic power aroused, nor the performance in the mouth.
No surprise, however, with the hit, which seems to match the announced dosage.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 15 W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Hobbit & Tron S
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 1.1
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

If you want to test for yourself I would refrain from any recommendation.
In order to provide you with a quality “job”, I tried on a small single coil dripper above the ohm. As not much was happening I also tried with a double coil dripper at 45W… without more success.
On clearo, with proprietary Ni200 coil and Temperature Control, I have not had more success.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of day: Overnight for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.28 / 5 3.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The manufacturer's efforts to offer us an e-liquid to French “standards” are commendable.
The catalog is enviably rich.
Sales prices to the public are among the most competitive.
The size and skills of the company are certainly respectable.

However. The recipes are not pleasant. The aromatic power is very low and this Carmel does not change the bad habits of recipes previously evaluated.
The Italian manufacturer offers its flavors in concentrated aromas. I think that to form a real opinion you would have to go through the Diy test in order to know the quality of these transalpine productions with a dosage that suits you.

See you soon for new hazy adventures,

Marquolive

About the Author

Follower of the tobacco vape and rather "tight" I do not balk in front of good greedy clouders. I love flavor-oriented drippers but am very curious about the evolutions of our common passion for personal vaporizers. Good reasons to make my modest contribution here, no?
