Comments on the packaging

It is Gaspard who presents himself for the revision of the 5000 today. An eminent member of the “Robots” range from the Landes of Mécanique des Fluides, Gaspard does not stand out in this gallery of metallic characters that Asimov would have liked so much.

Presented in a 20ml glass bottle for the time being, Gaspard offers itself in a nice variation of nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16mg / ml. There is therefore something for everyone, at any level of vape whatsoever. The base chosen by the manufacturer corresponds to a 50/50 ratio of PG / VG, a balanced alternative between flavors and steam.

The information is clear although written in small print, which is detrimental to your eyes but goes well to the friendly robot who does not lack character.

Well, I do the levels, greasing, draining and I spend on the deck to see what Gaspard has in the belly.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

We note the absence of the logo for pregnant women and the one concerning the sale prohibited to minors. Personally, being neither pregnant nor underage, I do not feel concerned but, in view of the legislative tightening around the e-cig at the moment, I can only advise the manufacturer too strongly to include these logos in the next batches to avoid unnecessary red tape.

For the rest, we're all good. The warnings are clear and compliant, the composition is complete, the coordinates of the production laboratory are indicated and we have a DLUO which is next to a batch number. Box almost full, therefore. But in any case, a lot of goodwill to be transparent in this chapter.

The use of purified food flavorings for inhalation is a real plus which says a lot about the manufacturer's desire to develop a healthy range.

Comments on the packaging

Always cute, the packaging of the range gives pride of place to our childhood imaginations. These friendly robots, straight out of the B series of the fifties, nostalgically remind us of the science fiction that rocked our emotions as kids.

Particular care was taken in the design and formatting of the label and it is successful. The central part accommodates the emblematic effigy of the Gaspard robot while the lateral sides present the obligatory and informative notices. Note because it is not that common, the nicotine level is clearly visible at the feet of the character.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Here is an original e-liquid that does not do in half measure. Either you'll love it, or you'll hate it.

Indeed, rhubarb is the main aroma with its attendant acidity. We take it well in the mouth and yet your fillings will not jump because a fairly sweet green apple tempers the ardor of the fibrous stem (see nothing salacious, that's how it is). Thus the balance between acidity and sugar is correctly ensured by a clever blend. 

The recipe ends with a twist of lemon which might seem incongruous but it is not because the citrus has the good sense of not adding additional acidity by being sweeter than usual.

The whole is quite “green” in the sense that one does not escape a grassy aspect given by the rhubarb. Me, that suits me because Gaspard thus moves away from the usual clichés of the modes of e-liquids. But I can understand that some will not adhere. However, I assure you, the acidities have been well mastered by the flavorists and the herbal and fruity relationship of Gaspard is quite convincing.

The aromatic power is quite measured and we could have appreciated a little more strength in the aromas. 

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 35 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Narda, Vapor Giant Mini V3
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.8
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Preferably vape in an atomizer that is fairly precise in restoring flavors and in a semi-tight vape so as to take advantage of all the aromas generated. A warm temperature will be preferred so as not to compromise the integrity of the juice. The hit is quite low and the volume of vapor medium but in line with the ratio.

  • Recommended times of the day: All afternoon during everyone's activities, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.2 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Our friend Gaspard is therefore an atypical liquid.

It will appeal to those who want discovery and are tired of only turning to the same aromatic sensations. It may displease those who are allergic to the very notion of acidity, although it has been perfectly curbed by the manufacturer.

So there remains a green juice full of life, sweet and tangy at the same time, which carries with it a welcome wind of novelty. It is a pity that the aromatic power is below what one would expect given the ratio of the base. A little more presence would have been appreciable.
