Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
“Red Fruits” contains alcohol, which is penalized by our protocol.
One of the particularities of the VDLV brand and its laboratory (LFEL) is to favor natural flavors. In its manufacturing process, alcohol (support for natural flavors) ensures better stability. In addition, it is almost obligatory, for manufacturing reasons, of which I will spare you the technical litany inherent in the very conception of the recipe. Note, however, that the amount is minimal, and especially indicated on the bottle: 1,5%.
Note also that this is not alcohol added to the mixture but ethanol used to work the aromas.
Anyway, this register safe, sanitary and legal, is one of the creeds of the brand Girondine. VDLV is an active member of Fivape and the first French manufacturer to have officially received the E-liquid certification issued by AFNOR Certification. Every element, from the raw material to the finished product is constantly monitored. The laboratory is at the forefront, with constant research and analysis.
We are therefore guaranteed to obtain a totally “safe” product with this brand.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
No ambiguity when opening the vial. The farandole of red fruits from our undergrowth and gardens is obvious.
The aromas of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries are very appetizing.
The vape is almost more greedy than fruity. 50% vegetable glycerin go like a glove to the recipe.
Sugar is present but precisely dosed and seeming to come only fruits.
I am unable to indicate the dominant note to you because after having hesitated on each component, I arrived at the conclusion of a perfect alchemy.
Perfect in the sense that each score plays its own measure but the whole trumpets in unison.
It's homogeneous, it's balanced, we almost come to regret that it is not more complex… But that is not the will of Cirkus Authentic, other versions of Vincent being responsible for the “premium” category .
As usual, the aromatic power is moderate but strong enough to make the juice a powerful allday. The presence and hold in the mouth are to match. Enough to retain the flavor and not too much, so as not to become disgusting.
The hit is light but realistic with the 3 mg / ml received for this test and the vapor developed, consistent with the ratio PG / VG.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
It's versatile like a 50/50. The potion is not particularly deliquescent in the face of the rise in temperature, in “normal” values of use in flavor mode.
In my case, the capillary chosen was Fiber Freaks Cotton Blend, to make sure I got the taste of fruit… and only fruit.

My mood ticket on this juice
This starts to make some references of Vincent in the Vapes evaluated by yours truly. And it's not over…
Given the content of my remarks, the notes obtained, you will really be convinced of my corruption and my total dedication to this great of the vape; VDLV.
Do you think I can ask for a role of honorary ambassador with a nice reward?
In the meantime, I assure you do not touch a kopeck, my integrity and my independence are preserved.
Only when it's good, it's good, as friend Crystof77 would say ... and it must be said.
The recipe for this “Red Fruits” is simple, basic. We are not in a complex and “premium” range. Only the realization does not suffer from any criticism and in addition it is good without being expensive.
Happy are the new vapers who start with the quality of current productions. We have been deserving of holding on, we “old people”, but they will have no excuse…
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive
