Comments on the packaging
Strawberry Kiwi flavors for this VDLV recipe from the Cirkus catalog. The Girondins Strawberry Kiwi will be the pretext for this evaluation already carried out by La Vapelier but now subject to my appreciation 😉.
Thin and regulation size of 10 ml. PET1 plastic for the vial, with a 2mm fine tip at the end. Five nicotine levels (0, 3, 6, 12 & 16 mg / ml) to satisfy the majority of consumers. 50/50 PG / VG and an affordable price in the “standard” of 5,90 €; here is for a quick presentation of the bottles received.
CirKus is an e-liquid brand created, produced and packaged by VDLV, in its LFEL laboratory in Pessac. It offers a trip back in time, meeting the atmosphere of circus Belle-Époque, with different flavors and powerful.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Nothing wrong with this chapter of health, safety and legal aspects.
Our protocol notes the presence of ultra-pure water (Milli-Q) which is questionable but whose harmlessness has been proven. In any case, this compliance register is one of the credo of the Girondine brand. VDLV, an active member of Fivape, is the first French manufacturer to have officially received the e-liquid certification issued by AFNOR Certification. Every element, from the raw material to the finished product, is constantly checked. The laboratory is at the forefront of vaping research and it shows in the results.
We are therefore assured of obtaining a completely “safe” product with this brand which, moreover, is the only one to produce nicotine at a higher purity grade than that requested by the legislator.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Nose and taste buds are in unison. What I appreciate in this interpretation of Cirkus is the accuracy of each of the scores.
Perfectly balanced, the dosage is credible and timely. Alchemy is ideal. Not too sweet with two stars who can express themselves perfectly individually but whose marriage becomes obvious. The strawberry is clean and brings us sweetness when the kiwi is slightly more pregnant with a little pep and a little relative but welcome freshness.
What more can be said ? Well, that it's good and that it vaporizes on its own.
The PG / VG ratio is perfect, as is the hit and the vapor corresponding to the percentages advertised. The aromatic power is moderate but the hold in the mouth is ideally calibrated to allow this Strawberry Kiwi to accompany fruity lovers allday.

My mood ticket on this juice
As usual, it's solid. A rock, nothing moves, everything is perfectly limited and nothing goes out of the frame. VDLV / CIRKUS perfectly identifies all the stages, from creation to distribution. If that wasn't enough, they are at the forefront of creativity and have a perfect command of the subject of R&D.
We could think of a perfect result but without a soul. Rest assured, it is not because despite the plethora of recipes, the “touch” of each one is straightforward and will awaken your papillary senses.
Unless I do not like the flavors, I do not see what can put off.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive
