Comments on the packaging

In fact of box, it is about an elegant black velvet scabbard with a shiny satin ligature, also black. Thenancara is positioned in the elitist territory of luxury and pleasure, as evidenced by the price of the vials and the brand's motto: Vapor Voluptas. The packaging confirms this marketing stance and offers us a perfectly opaque black glass bottle, bearing an embossed paper label (a "parchment" in relief) which certainly sets it apart from what we usually meet. 30ml, a pipette cap, a premium liquid, that promises to be correct.

By only offering 5 different liquids to date, Thenancara cultivates rarity and quality, thus justifying a high-end status that it would have been the worst effect to associate with an abundant and diversified production. This confidentiality remains an inseparable bias of refinement and good taste, so you will not find these juices at Lidl. However, there are around forty shops around the world (including a few in France, phew!) Which have the privilege of making these exceptional creations available to you.

If, because of your remoteness (or for any other good reason), you can not / want to access the said shops to get this precious liquid, you will fall back on the website merchant, less user-friendly but just as efficient. You will discover on the page dedicated to your choice of juice a slight difference between the rate of PG / VG indicated (45/55) and that of the label (50/50) on the bottle, I am not able to tell you to reveal the reason. This rate does not appear on the paper label but in small numbers on the compulsory administrative section. Rate that Thenancara probably did not consider classy enough to include it alongside its own graphic design, nor on the same subject (we do not mix epicetou genres).

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

When it comes to supplying a quality product, it is desirable to comply with administrative regulations and inform your customers. What Thenancara obviously did not escape. Everything is respected, everything is in conformity with in addition a welcome DLUO. One can of course wonder why the bottle is not equipped with a child safety, a pledge of benevolence and completely mandatory next year. It seems that this defect is in the process of being filled and that there are still unequipped vials in circulation, of which I unfortunately inherited a copy that it would have been preferable to reserve at a shop to allow it to make taste the juice to his customers, rather than to an attentive Vapelier columnist who has no right to not talk about it. The score for this part of the protocol could have been better (even perfect) because it is closer to the new reality of conditioning, too bad.

The presence of ethyl alcohol also influences this note, which in my opinion is not justified and it will soon be rectified.

Thenancara Shinshiro legal notice

The base used is of USP / EP quality, the presence of sulphite (light allergen) stipulated on the label seems to indicate to us (with any reservation) that an additive of type E22x is associated with the preparation for (as desired or together) :

  • strengthen and stabilize the aroma (E220),
  • confer antioxidant and antimicrobial effects (E221),
  • keep (E222),
  • as a thickening and anti-fermentation agent (E227).

At the end of August I could not contact the person likely to inform me on this subject, I can not tell you more about the type of product chosen by the designers of this liquid. After further investigation it appears that this additive is not / more systematically used, because the obligatory mention of its presence does not appear on other vials…. to be continued.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • 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

The bottle is original although it has a clean shape. It has a notable advantage over many others, which can figure in an aesthetic consideration: it is totally opaque black, combining the mono-chromatic quality with its ability to prevent any light attack prejudicial to the integrity of the precious content. The labeling is studied in 2 parts, in unbleached embossed paper, some discreet inscriptions on one side and a representation of what should be called a goddess on the other, in the remarkable context of a preparation that wants to be prestigious. A concise, coherent whole, of an elegant efficiency, a simplicity which reveals a reflection of “artisanal” authenticity displayed by this team of enthusiasts.

Information taken, Shinshiro is at least one Japanese city. It is possible that this name also evokes a typically Asian attribute unrelated to this city that would have escaped me, faithful to my comfortable neutrality in matters of judgment on the appropriateness of a name in relation to color, taste or odor of the product. I will not add anything that could get me into trouble with I do not know what spirit or entity that I would have inadvertently annoyed with a haphazard and inappropriate comment.

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
  • Definition of odor: Herbal (Thyme, Rosemary, Coriander)
  • Definition of taste: Sweet, Herbal, Alcoholic
  • The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes
  • Did I like this juice ?: Yes
  • This liquid reminds me:

    Absolutely nothing. And again, after 6ml continuously I still cannot determine which red fruit is briefly mentioned in the description of the juice here: ”all the richness of Thai spices combined with the spontaneity of red fruit and bourbon vanilla. »Not being an intimate of Thai spices, I am not sure either to have detected the perfume of bourbon vanilla!… ..We are really off for the moment!

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

This is my will in the form of a farewell letter: Thursday August 27, 2015 - 21:30 p.m.

“I, the undersigned Antoine… ..sane in body and mind (?) yes good it's going eh! ..... resident ……

....Declares: not being able to seriously consider finishing this review honorably, my olfactory and gustatory, memory and didactic faculties have become inoperative. In this decrepit state before I could no longer think, I therefore gave in to honesty, ethics (and ease) by presenting myself seated before the Host in heaven who created me…. (at least, I think ...) "

And pan! I swallow a last bottle of Green Chartreuse in one gulp (that's fine, I can still feel it pass). 1 liter later, ass dry, it should roll for one last trip.

Flashback:

Thursday 02h00 AM: Back home from Pierre (Papagallo) with an urgent mission (to review the Shinshiro) and full of motivation, I change the coils of the very clean Origen and I open the vial ... promising, a scent imbued with cinnamon, an indefinable, pleasant, fruity, almost powerful smell. At this time, I have not yet read any publication on this juice, not even on the Thenancara site. Blackcurrant, pomegranate and candied orange? Only cinnamon is quite surely accessible to me, I taste.

Ouch! There, it's powerful, hot sweet, my palate sends me chocolate notes! Cherry! A tingling of peppermint without the mint, just the effect, which I also put down to the 12mg / ml of nicotine, I put the cover back and of course the hiccups appear, a little pause. Let's go to the vape, this juice looks very interesting.

At the top-cap crackle out, I take the usual first nasal breath. While rising from the coil, the volutes fill my senses and…. Nothing ! Or not much… I close the ato and vape. The first puff is destroyed by the hit and the coughing fit that follows. No problem, I will shoot tighter and for less…. I am starting to get used to the effects of the hit but hardly feel any taste. The rest is a long story of adjustments, coffees without sugar, tests in Magma, Igo w4 and I end up, disillusioned, by going to bed without tangible results after at least 6ml of vape.

Thursday 9h00 AM: I am starting to write the review, the notes are not really useful to me .... What surprises me is this lightness of power and amplitude in the vape, the taste of this juice is so pronounced in the mouth 2 drops are enough on the tongue and as soon as it fills the palate it is a festival, that the vaper is almost disappointing, frustrating would be fairer. The problem is, the more I vape the more I get used to and the less distinct the flavors appear. re-coffee without sugar, a little more power on the Cloupor mini, too many hits, I cough, too reckless puff, vents too open, pffff !! I can't get out of it anymore! 

Thursday 10h30 AM: I'm ready for confrontation again. I even decided to assemble the brand new Goblin mini from UD brought back the day before to avoid any residual interference from flavors present on the atos that I often use.

This little RTA will prove to be a convincing tool. After a 3ml tank, I finally have a probable description, which is: Cherry, ginger, cinnamon! But I feel that it is not complete to say the least. I pass, I need to know more, I start with the Thenancara site. Reading the little description, I'm less upset than the day before. I vape frantically to persuade myself to find the famous Thai spices, nothing to do. But I told you, I'm not intimate with Asian flavors apart from pepper, curry, ginger, cinnamon and it seems to me in the end that these last 2 are good in the composition of the juice. For the cherry, it's a red fruit, I'm happy (still not sure though) but bourbon vanilla I know! And impossible to locate her. It is however pleasant this juice, although not intense enough to be delivered frankly, one will say subtle…. but OK. 

Thursday 15h00 PM: I put down the gear, I'm looking for information on the tastes of these famous Thai spices. There are 50 kinds and my cousin cook doesn't have them all. Yet I have to taste it to compare !! It's not won, I live in a village 20 miles from a grocery store likely to offer this kind of product. I go out with the vial and the set-up, I need external opinions, some leads to make a choice.

Thursday 17h30 PM: In fact, the most common opinion will have been: "it smells good, I don't know", punctuated by a few "it tells me something" or "oh yes, I know that" ... but no clarification. And especially no vapers who want to try a latte, I come home crestfallen. I have vaped almost 15ml since last night. I'm starting to appreciate it anyway, on an empty stomach, drinking very cold water from time to time. I stay on cinnamon, cherry ginger in order of intensity .... and vanilla since there is some! But not really convinced of this quartet.

Thursday 21h30 PM: Here is where I am, despairing for a columnist supposed to inform his readers….

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

I can't recommend anything more than patience, calm, coffee (no sugar), close your eyes, and listen to your senses. This juice is delicate, pastel would politely say Papagallo, not to say light… very light. Your favorite ato will do very well as long as it is nickel (ultra clean) with a new coil that goes without saying.

At 12mg / ml, do not increase the power too much, the hit is rather virulent. An all-day, why not, if your means allow it, you do not risk saturation, but this juice requires rather intimate vaping conditions. It is a nectar to be tasted as one sips an old strong liqueur. On the other hand, avoid ingesting anything if you want to preserve an authentic feeling, your taste buds may no longer detect it if you accompany it with a drink or a slightly tasty food. Shinshiro is exclusive for its tasting.

  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.29 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Here you are at the end of this laborious review, thank you for your attention and congratulations for the tenacity! Thenancara focuses on fine and distinguished liquids, fragile and precious, you are warned, lovers of frosty mints, stubborn tobacco and frank fruity acidulated, you risk disappointment.

With Shinshiro, you will have to master your equipment in order to tame this juice with discreet flavors. In order not to spoil a refined pleasure, you should also give it your full attention and choose the moment when your senses will be most receptive. Bourrins therefore abstain. The high price can be justified depending on whether we believe that a packaging accompanied by a velvet pouch deserves the price difference from other premiums on the market, I let you judge. Available in 0 (take the opportunity to have a drink!) 3, 6, and 12 mg / ml of nicotine.

I would have had to give up research, stop wanting to absolutely discover its composition when my sensory baggage does not contain the solution (and it is futile to try to transmit a faithful description of what we do not know), and simply vape it to enjoy Shinshiro. Its famous spices, this red fruit and vanilla form a harmonious assembly without discordant roughness, (like a royal jelly compared to chestnut honey) and let's say it delicate. I am also convinced that I have not yet found the right moment and taken the time it takes to fully feel the full potential of this juice, perhaps even another material will reveal it better….

Give us your impressions, I probably did not know how to decipher the recipe, if you have other suggestions please do not hesitate.

See you soon.
