Comments on the packaging
To end (as far as I'm concerned) the reviews of this Les Grands range, here is a very gourmet Manitou offered by the Girondine brand in impeccable packaging. Clearly positioned on products of excellence in terms of compounds and production, VDLV assures its customers of irreproachable quality up to packaging worthy of its premium range.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.25 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
“Everything's all right” with a DLUO as a bonus, we border on excellence.
The only criticism that I have to point out is in terms of the juice being protected against UV rays by a vial treated for this purpose. This transparent bottle therefore needs to be placed back in its case after use outdoors and in these scorching weather.
As is customary at VDLV, (which participated in the development of the AFNOR standard), compliance with legal obligations and consumer information are effective and complete. If the rating does not reflect this perfection (this will be corrected soon) it is because the presence of water and alcohol strike it. I emphasize here that at reduced doses where these 2 ingredients are present (and due to the purity of the water used) it has not been proven that they represent a potential danger for the use we make of them (of elsewhere since the time that the English breathe the London fog, they are still there….)

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
A packaging whose design we can find very appropriate or not to the juice it contains, I leave it to you to judge. In terms of packaging, it is quite simply what makes it best and most effective for storing and using e-liquid. Everything is recyclable, or even reusable, one more positive aspect to note, which demonstrates the concern to offer quality products, functional and respectful of an ethics in favor of the environment.
It is high time to talk about the liquid for which you have taken the trouble to inquire here, which I thank you.
Sensory appreciations
- Color and product name agree ?: Yes
- Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
- Definition of smell: Fruity
- Definition of taste: Sweet
- The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes
- Did I like this juice ?: Yes
- This liquid reminds me:
Nothing that I have vaped before. The originality of the aromatic composition of this liquid is such that I have a little trouble specifying / appreciating the ingredients in particular, although I know them. It is a complex liquid (unlike mono-aromas) which requires several vape sessions in order to detect all the subtleties, it is a point in common with all premium liquids. The blend is both fruity, pastry and “tinged” with alcoholic notes (old rum).
Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
This juice is not powerful, rather soft and light, after 10 ml of continuous vape I feel the need to push the power a little by going to 30W for 0,7 ohm, vents open to the max. It tolerates treatment rather well, one notable consequence however appears to the taste, it is its uniformity. Not that it no longer reveals nuances but the heating makes it linear, in terms of amplitude over the length, more contrasts. The flaming banana that emanates from the smell upon opening remains dominant in the vape, even when forcing the power. At conventional values, we feel on expiration the pastry evoked by the creators, a very slightly chocolatey nun, the assembly, pleasant, is discreetly rounded by the mango while the rum is revealed more at the beginning, on the suction.
Lovers of sweets and desserts will find with this Manitou a little sweet and light gourmet pleasure, no saturation during long puffs, both in overpower (moderate all the same) and in normal values.
Tasting recommendations
- Recommended power for optimal taste: 23 W
- Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
- Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
- Atomizer used for the review: Origen V3 (dripper)
- Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.7
- Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel
Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
This juice is subtle, it is not useful to heat it above the expected values (depending on the resistance values). Unless you prefer a contribution / addition of amplitude but to the detriment of nuances. The composition of the base allows it to be vaped in all atomizers and the tight vape will be a plus to concentrate the flavors. A normal volume of vapor and a present hit without excess characterize this juice, it will be suitable for people anxious to enjoy a sweetness more than for volutes makers, because of its complexity and its VG content.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - coffee breakfast, Morning - chocolate breakfast, Morning - tea breakfast, Aperitif, Lunch / dinner, End of lunch / dinner with a coffee, End of lunch / dinner with a digestif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.55 / 5

My mood ticket on this juice
“Exclusively composed of natural flavors”
As the VDLV site says, you are in the presence of an e-liquid of the most rigorously “safe”. Grand Manitou stands out from the other premiums in the range because it incorporates pastry and this recognizable flambé dessert, with mango rounding it off. In line with the brand's creations, this light liquid with subtle notes can be vaped at any time of the day. Consider it as a premium, rather to savor than to mist a local, especially since it will best reveal its discreet flavors by steaming it tight. Available in 0, 3, 6, 12 mg / ml of nicotine, its price is justified given the remarkable packaging offered to you.
Give us your impressions and your possible questions, which I will take pleasure in answering, even though they would be at the antipodes of this modest review.
see you soon
