Comments on the packaging

The manufacturer Alfaliquid spoils all lovers of tobacco and gourmet tobacco by leaving a range dedicated to the dive plant, declined in all its aspects: Alfa Siempre. For a tariff located in the average, you will have the choice of your liquid in a panel of ten references, all different and honed since almost all of the range declines juices already present in the brand by adding them an 50 base / 50, more suited to a better balance between flavor and vapor.

Today, it is the Saharian which is sifted through the test, a known and appreciated liquid. In this version, however, will it be as convincing? This is what we will see.

Let us slip on the informative aspect of the small bottle, available in 10ml only and in 3, 6, 11 and 16mg / ml of nicotine, which could not lend itself to the slightest criticism.

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The above protocol speaks for itself and the perfection of the score is deserved by a packaging which is an example in terms of transparency and information. Alfaliquid has long bet on clarity, it must be recognized that it pays off since the Mosellane brand is today at the epicenter of the creation, marketing and export of French liquids. 

A success deserved by a strict respect for safety and quality.

  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

I must admit that this packaging is a success, both aesthetic and informative.

A discreet borrowing from traditional cigar rings and the revolutionary icon Ernesto “Che” Guevara immediately set the scene for a range dedicated to tobacco. The range is thus declined around this graphic charter by only changing the color of the cartridge containing the name of the juice for better visibility.

My congratulations to the very inspired designer who made this label with such mastery.

The bottle is transparent glass and, if it is not the panacea to fight against the harmful rays of the sun, the small capacity of 10ml will certainly reduce the risk of expiration of the liquid. I only see one small downside to this idyllic picture, the glass pipette is too small and will require you to contortions to extract the last drops of liquid from the bottle. Nothing serious or alarming, however.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 3.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Saharian has always been a “special” liquid, leaving no one indifferent but collecting both positive and negative opinions. Personally, I'm leaving on a really blank page since this version is the first that I see.

We have a very floral blond tobacco directly in the mouth. A rather light tobacco, devoid of aggressiveness. I think I recognize an oriental tobacco, spicy, flowery and fruity without being overly sweet.

Behind, I think I can see hints of caramel and vanilla but the predominance of the floral aspect of tobacco makes it very difficult to read. We are definitely not on a Ry4 or even a gourmet tobacco. The result is dry, fair and without length in the mouth. It is a traditional tobacco, without crippling harshness.

The result is not bad but the obvious floral note, too pronounced for my taste, spoils me a little the pleasure of discovering the aromas of support and the assembly draws too much in my opinion on the pure tobacco. The promised nuts, caramel or vanilla, only remain almost spectral emanations which do not bring anything back to the recipe.

Tasting recommendations

  • Atomizer used for the review: Origen V2mk2, Cyclone AFC
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.5

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The hit is moderate, the steam too. To enjoy rather warm / warm without forcing the power under penalty of ending up with a deliquescence of flavors. The viscosity of Saharian makes it of course compatible with all the devices of the market. Given the ultra-pronounced floral note, I will advise a simple clearomiseur, type Nautilus or Cubis not to sharpen further this flavor that may please some but greatly impede others.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: All afternoon during everyone's activities
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.16 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

I don't like the Saharian. I write this sentence being aware of all the subjective aspect it takes. You will therefore need a personal test to agree with me or, on the contrary, ask yourself against. Be aware, however, that the liquid is not bad, far from it. I repeat, I don't like it, that's all.  

We are here on a flowery tobacco which will delight lovers of this type of tobacco but which will displease those who prefer their woody tobacco, more “rough”, complex or even greedy. It is therefore a pure question of taste, indisputable by nature.

I still recognize the quality of the set offered and the plastic and safe perfection of the container, no wonder for a brand that has evolved faster than the law and which is today the spearhead of French vaping. .
