Comments on the packaging

Alfaliquid offers us, with this range Alfasiempre, a series of 10 flavors tobacco, bringing together the best of its production in this type of aroma. What changes is the conditioning and the rate of VG of the base, which goes from 30% for the versions before 50% for all the juices of the range.

Available in 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16mg / ml nicotine, clear glass vials do not protect the juice from UV radiation. Take care not to expose them to the sun this summer.

The price corresponds to a mid-range positioning, justified by the quality of the components used in the development of the finished product. The 10ml, imposed by the European regulations, contribute greatly without anyone escaping. It's stupid but obligatory, we all regret it.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The quality is, of course, at the level of labeling and safety equipment of the bottle. A DLUO on the bottom, alongside the lot number, participates in your information on the optimal life of the juice.

Alfaliquid has accustomed us to this excellence in terms of traceability and monitoring in its multiple productions (more than 100 different flavors), you will also find an SDS (safety sheet) published for each liquid at all nicotine levels, on the site of the Mosellan manufacturer.

A welcome transparency that we appreciate as it should be, the note obtained in this section tells you the degree of safety with which you will steam all the proposed liquids, which this Saharian belongs to.

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

Comments on the packaging

This entire Alfasiempre series has the same design. In addition to the regulatory graphics, the labeling shows a commercial aspect divided into two distinct and complementary parts.

The largest area is common to all juices, we see a portrait of Che, the name of the range, the rate of PG / VG, all on a ring reminiscent of Cuban cigars.

At the bottom, a ribbon, the movement of which follows the curves of the upper part, has a background color specific to each of the flavors, represented by the name of the liquid it represents. On both sides of the ribbon, the total volume and the nicotine level are also indicated.

The spirit of tobacco can not be better respected, the indications are clear and legible. This graphic approach is for me a model of its kind.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The first smell is not very powerful, it mixes blond tobacco and sweet scents, rather caramelized.

To the taste, a little bitterness is immediately attenuated by this mixture of chocolate caramel, whose vanilla touch rounds off the dry and typical tobacco appearance. The low power denotes a slightly “bumped” dosage compared to the original 70/30 juice. The increase in the proportion of VG would have deserved, in my opinion, a more significant increase in the percentage of aromas.

The juice is therefore light in power and amplitude to the vape, it is not easy to precisely recognize each taste announced. In the order of preponderance, we have in mind a blond (light) tobacco, immediately wrapped in a delicate caramelized mixture with a chocolate tendency and imperceptibly vanilla.

The whole is however pleasant in the mouth and not very durable, it is necessary to vaper a certain time before the taste buds and the nose are impregnated with the flavors and perfumes released by this Saharian. This tells you if 10ml can volatilize in a few hours, especially if you have a low mount and high power.

At 3mg / ml, the hit is light, even at high power. The volume of steam is consistent and consistent with the advertised VG rate.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 30 / 35W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Type of hit obtained at this power: Light
  • Atomizer used for the review: mini Goblin, Mirage EVO
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0,5
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Inox, Fiber Freaks Cotton Blend (Goblin) - cellulose D1 (Mirage)

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Saharian is very slightly amber, it does not deposit quickly on the coils however. Its base rate is for any type of atomizer. Its lightness and the small volume available make it a clear candidate for clearos and tight atomizers in general.

In a dripper, however, it will express its tobacco flavor more densely. Heating it does not present a denatured problem or a noticeable alteration in the general taste. The tobacco aspect can take a little more space around 10/15% more power than "normal". Beyond that, it is on the contrary the greedy side that wins.

The hot vape suits it well, without excess, but it remains consistent at + 30% power. You will easily adapt your vape to this tolerant juice, without seeking the "cumulo-nimbic" performance, it was not designed for that.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.37 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Most of this Alfasiempre series has been reviewed here, with the exception of the Brown Diamond we talked about as part of the Dark Story line: http://www.levapelier.com/archives/11020 - http://www.levapelier.com/archives/8341  and which has the same characteristics as its counterpart.

10 tobacco juices, among the best of the "Old House", in any case the best sales, are thus made available to us in a new presentation and a more "consensual" base, intended for the greatest number of people. There is therefore something for all sensibilities, all taste buds and as long as one of these e-liquids has allowed only one of us to definitively quit smoking, it will be a success.

The Saharian closes this coherent assortment. It is not, in my opinion, the most typical or the best, but remains a good juice, light and greedy.

It's up to you to tell us more about your feelings through a flash test or a video, it is now possible and we are counting on your spirit of sharing to support or distinguish you from the impressions that these juices evoke to us, our Your job will only be more interesting and we will answer you sincerely. The subjectivity that our senses inspire in us authorizes all opinions, as long as they are argued and honestly formulated, they are worthy of editing.

Thank you for your reading, good luck and see you soon.
