Comments on the packaging

814 is a brand of liquids with complex flavors, rich in authenticity which, since 2015, immerses us in the history of the Kings, Queens, Dukes and Duchesses of France through the different juices it offers.

814 is manufactured and distributed by the French group VDLV located in the South-West, a group existing since 2012, also at the origin of vapological nicotine from tobacco plants exclusively grown for this purpose in France.

Lothair, of the Carolingian dynasty, was king of the Franks from 954 to 986, that is to say more than thirty years. A record at the time!

Our king is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic bottle with 50 ml of liquid and can accommodate up to 60 ml. Indeed, the liquid being overdosed in aroma, it will be imperative to add neutral base or a nicotine booster before its use. The nicotine level obtained after adding a booster will be 3 mg/ml.

With a ratio of PG / VG in 50/50, the base of the recipe is therefore balanced and will allow the use of the liquid with the majority of existing materials.

Lothaire is available from €19,90, so it ranks among the entry-level liquids. It is also available in 10 ml format with nicotine levels of 4, 8 and 14 mg/ml, this option is displayed at a price of €5,90.

814 also offers some of its liquid concentrates for DIY. For our Lothaire, two options are possible, in vials of 10 or 50 ml respectively displayed at prices of €6,90 or €25,00.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Lothaire, with different flavors of mint, is the “fresh” of the collection.

At the opening of the bottle, the scents of mint are omnipresent, a sweet and very aromatic mint. I also note subtle “herbaceous” touches, the sweet and fresh notes are also palpable.

Lothaire has an excellent aromatic power. The various flavors of mint are faithful and also have several interesting taste renderings.

As soon as you inhale, you can feel the icy mint as it passes through the throat, a “strong” but not too aggressive wild mint. This freshness is then followed by a sweeter mint with a more vegetal rendering reminiscent of very sweet Moroccan mint tea.

The tasting then concludes with delicate sweet and aromatic notes caused by a Hollywood-type mint with its subtle “artificial and chemical” touches reminiscent of American chewing gum. Its "gourmand" notes last for a short time at the end of the tasting for a very pleasant finish.

The liquid is light, the taste is refreshing.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Lothaire being a rather “fresh” juice, an average power of vape will be more than enough to savor it fully, a “cold” or even “lukewarm” vape will therefore be ideal.

A restricted type of draw will accentuate the “fresh” notes of the “strong” mint. A more airy draw will make the freshness more diffuse but will accentuate the feeling of satiety.

In MTL, the vegetal notes are boosted, allowing you to savor Lothaire at its true value!

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - tea breakfast, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.59 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

814 offers us here a mint liquid, yes, but not only!

Indeed, Lothaire is much more complex and interesting than what one might have expected by mixing wild mint, candy mint and vegetal.

I really liked these different states of the plant, and I am sure that it will also perfectly suit all those fond of very elaborate menthol flavors.

Lothaire obtains his "Top Vapelier", deserved distinction for a liquid full of surprises!
