Comments on the packaging

Kanzi, our distant cousin bonobo, is a famous simian among zoologists around the world. Monkey artist whose paintings are sold in the American jet-set, he also knows how to cook food, includes more 3000 words and make fire. From 2015, he also knows how to make good e-liquids and that interests us!

Twelve Monkeys' Kanzi is therefore a mid-range liquid, very clean in its design and bottle and providing us with fairly complete consumer information. We can just regret that the rate of VG is not more readable, it is located below the level of nicotine in very small. But there is, that's what's essential.

The brand's website gives us much more information by providing us with the product safety data sheets and we see that the diacetyl level is very low, which is encouraging. Ditto for acetoin. The acetaldehyde and formaldehyde levels are lower than the tolerable low average in Canada (ECTA standards), the country where the juice is produced.

A healthy North American juice, here is what it takes to forget the recent discoveries in the matter on other brands.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The brand has made a notable effort to comply with European legislation. This transpires on the product, if only in the French translation of the warnings, in the presence of a pictogram in the shape of a skull and the word danger.

Unfortunately, the pictogram does not comply with French legislation, it lacks an after-sales service contact and the triangle in relief for the visually impaired is conspicuous by its absence. The intentions are good and we hope that in the future, importers will be able to send the information back to the manufacturer so that the latter is not in the first ban cart that the TPD will inevitably generate. What is at play here is important for the diversity of vaping offered to vapers, we must therefore anticipate before the Holy Principle of Precaution deprives us of healthy and good juices under the fallacious pretext of an absent mention.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The aesthetics of the bottle are correct and the color of the juice, in line with that of the label, provokes a greedy reflex. It's pretty, very “Tarzan” and it makes you want to. What more ? A glass bottle treated anti-UV perhaps for the conservation of the juice? Yes, that would be the icing on the cake ...

  • This liquid reminds me of: A fruit cocktail dessert particularly successful.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

An excellent fruity juice that mixes with great skill different categories of the genre.

We first have a huge cloud of vapor entering the mouth, a high level of VG obliges. This cloud is subtly creamy in texture and the quite realistic flavor of a water fruit that I translate as watermelon creeps into my palate. But there is also a strawberry which pleasantly colors the general taste and at the end of the palate, distant hints of citrus fruits which gently acidify the general flavor.

It's delicious and totally successful. Because the Kanzi avoids the pitfall that is too often seen and reviewed for the fresh to marry in a beautiful way a greedy texture in the mouth and very full. I might have been disappointed with the Congo Custard from the same brand, I am won over by this gourmet fruitiness that evokes a unique watermelon and strawberry pastry. Well done !!!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

This juice will be terrible on the dripper and will behave in the same beautiful way depending on whether you choose a power-vaping or vape-flavor type material. When it is at its best on a dripper with a resistance between 0.5 and 1Ω and a power between 20 and 30W. The increase in power can specify it but the rise in temperature which accompanies it will be to the detriment of the homogeneity of the whole.

My mood ticket on this juice

Kanzi has concocted a little vaponomic masterpiece for us by offering us a fruity, sweet and gourmet juice that uses watermelon as a base, strawberry as a top note to finish with a pleasant return of light citrus at the end of the mouth.

It is very good, very vaporous and this juice will know how to satisfy the amateurs of clouds AND the amateurs of taste. It is now up to you to add the atomizer to it which will know how to swing it from one side to the other.

Undoubtedly a great success from Twelve Monkeys which marks an e-liquid of great fullness.

A final effort to fit into European conformities and here we will hold a new “big” in global vaping.
