Comments on the packaging
An appreciable packaging for this e-liquid with these 30ml, in a glass bottle smoked almost black.
The bottle is equipped with a dropper and a glass pipette, all placed in a recyclable cardboard box.
This tested liquid was proposed to me with a dosage of 6mg in nicotine but it is also sold in 0mg, 11mg or 16mg for a proportion in PG / VG of 50 / 50.
The set is in a range of prices quite affordable, I would say even interesting, which pushes my curiosity to discover if the continuation of the protocol will confirm my personal feelings on this juice.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Apart from the presence of distilled water, for the rest we are all good. A bottle generously stocked with information, recommendations, pictograms, juice compounds and more such as the batch number with an expiry date. It was almost a phone number to join a consumer service, but we still have the address is the key!
All information is also visible on the sheath box.
For an entry-level, it is an exemplary label which many others should be inspired.

Comments on the packaging
For packaging, again, I am delighted!
We have a bottle of good capacity with these 30ml, black smoke glass practically opaque which perfectly protects the contents of the light. Two filling options are available: the count drops on the bottle (which I did not find practical) or a glass pipette.
The set is supplied in an entirely black cardboard box, nicely decorated with a graphic specific to the Hips brand.
For the ornament on the bottle, it is rather artistic style with triangular shapes and very colorful in the taste tone of the juice offered with in the center, roughly, the name of this e-liquid.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
For the greedy, this liquid is oriented rather on a slightly citrus candy sweet aspect, which leaves in the bottom of throat a beautiful freshness.
From the first aspiration I feel this citrus mix composed of lemon, lime and grapefruit. Everything is pushed by a freshness of menthol crystals that attenuates the citrus aspect of the citrus to give the mixture a sweet sweetness with a tip of anise cleverly balanced.
It's a foolish and fresh juice at a time. Judiciously made with a confectionery orientation. Which remains in the mouth for a long time thanks to the effect of mint crystals.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
On Dripper with a low resistance, you will have the sweet and anise side which will quickly take the upper hand over the tangy aspect of citrus fruits while keeping the flavor and freshness of the fruit.
On the other hand, with a higher resistance of 1.5 ohms, the fruits will show more with these acidulous flavors while slightly reducing the sweetness, you will however keep the mint / anise freshness.
For the steam, I liked its density which is certainly accentuated by the addition of distilled water, without diminishing the flavors.

My mood ticket on this juice
A nice discovery with this e-liquid extremely fresh and fruity that highlights the flavor of citrus while enhancing the sugar of the fruit by the influence of mint, to give it a character of confectionery.
Powerful and colorful in the mouth, it is a fireworks that the Dragon introduces to the bottom of your throat.
It is a beautiful composition for a price more than reasonable with quality packaging.
