Comments on the packaging
Bio Concept offers us in its Pin-up range, the Magic Berry. This liquid is packaged in a pretty opaque black bottle with a capacity of 20ml.
My test vial is offered at a rate of 6mg / ml of nicotine and a PG / VG ratio of 50/50. But this can vary and adapt as desired, since this laboratory offers several possibilities. The availability of nicotine levels are: 0mg, 3, 6, 11 or even 16mg / ml.
The base liquid is distributed in such a way as to promote flavors with an 80/20 distribution of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. For a denser VG vapor you can opt for a 20/80 PG / VG or keep a balance of the two, with a uniform split of 50/50.
The taste kind of Magic Berry is: mixed fruity.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The conformities are good except for two details, I did not find a lot number, which is inconvenient for the traceability of this e-liquid and I also did not find any raised marking that we Usually affixed to the pictogram of dangerousness due to the presence of nicotine and which is the only means of recognition for visually impaired people.
Apart from that, this product made in Poitou Charente, in Niort, is therefore a French product. Address and telephone number are provided for consumer service. This range does not contain Parabens, ambrox or even alcohol, on the other hand, we note the presence of water of European Pharmacopoeia quality.
The nicotine used is a vegetable nicotine (99,9% grade USP / EP purity). The cap is perfectly up to standard, as is the content of the liquid, which, moreover, is very well protected in a completely black bottle, not letting the light through.
Just two details to correct on the label and it will be perfect, since it is very well provided with information, as evidenced by the affixing of the certification number.

Comments on the packaging
A nice packaging, who will complain when on the label we see a beautiful pin-up?
The label with its black background blends in well with the bottle. Further ahead, in a large white band, the name of the laboratory is noted: BIO Concept and the dosage in PG / VG is clearly visible. Then comes the graphic with the photo of a pin-up wearing a surfboard and the stamp "Origin France", next to which we can guess in small, but really very small, a certification reference: "BVCert.631 5672" .
Behind the graphics are all the information concerning the precautions, the composition and the consumer service. Finally, at the end of the label, the classic pictograms, the nicotine level, the capacity of the bottle and the expiry date, as well as the barcode of the product (would it be a coded lot number? ).

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
The first smell that emerges from this liquid is the frank note of cassis with its acidulous touch.
In the vape it is lighter, the dominant blackcurrant remains very present but undoubtedly mingles with a very pleasant raspberry and surely a strawberry. A little less marked than redcurrant, blackcurrant naturally has this touch of acidity which keeps in this liquid a very natural aspect. It is a fruity blend that remains light, whose flavors are not only well restored, but also distinct and frank.
The quilted side of blackcurrant is quite realistic and offers the vaper a juice at once pleasant, fruity, natural but I can not find the creamy note announced in the definition of this juice. On the other hand, there is a certain sweet roundness that gives consistency to the vape.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Magic Berry can be magical indeed, depending on your vape power. There are two aspects in this juice that can be light and sweet, almost sweet on low powers, but also offers aggression and a provocative side, the acidity of the blackcurrant, when you heat this liquid.
However, both allow to offer natural flavors and properly restored, you just have to raise or lower the watts according to your tastes.
The steam, it is higher than normal with a nice density that remains however any relative ratio PG / VG requires. As for the hit, it is perfectly in line with the advertised rate.

My mood ticket on this juice
Magic Berry is a fruity composition whose tangy touch is an integral part of the dominant blackcurrant, mixed with a raspberry / strawberry blend. A liquid whose vape is soft or aggressive depending on the power and which well restores the natural aromas of the fruits. At the same time, the consistency is pleasant, round and the authentic taste, remains a nice asset for this liquid.
The vapor is generous for a 50/50 PG / VG proportion with a consistent hit, but if this liquid is quite suitable, I especially regret the two failures previously mentioned on the label, which does not detract from product safety, but denotes a certain lightness with respect to consumer information.
An All day that will be very pleasant to vaper in summer, as long as we like the acidity of the fruit of this type.
