Comments on the packaging

Last stop at our Canadian friends at Twelve Monkeys with this fifth and final juice, knowing that a new kid has just appeared in the range, the Primal Pipe. But today, we are here for the Tropika which, if its name does not precisely evoke a race of monkeys like some of its colleagues, does more than give us a clue as to what it contains. I don't really expect to find chestnuts, Corsican cheese or ham and butter ...

The Canadian does us the honor of a very clean and fairly classic packaging. All the necessary information is on the label, even if I regret a little that the proportion of vegetable glycerin is really illegible, placed below the nicotine level. Too bad, especially since the rate of VG varies depending on the product to confirm the recipe. In the case of the Tropika, we are at 90%, a serious dose therefore which promises us clouds as would a Miss Weather forecast in tight jeans in the led box ...

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

A fine effort has been made to adhere to European regulations by the North American manufacturer. However, the triangle in relief for the visually impaired is missing, the “skull” pictogram is not really in the usual codes of what the legislation allows and the contact of an after-sales service would be desirable. But I appreciate the process of having wanted to translate into French the composition and the safety notices as well as the batch number and the DLUO.

We are no longer very far from absolute compliance. Come on, one more effort and it will be perfect. Just put “prohibited at least 18 years old” rather than 19, refine the French translation and put the correct pictogram and we will be good to fight against the PDT!

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

Comments on the packaging

Nice design, in the usual variation of the brand, with a color code varying for each potion. It is reminiscent of movie nights where the beautiful heroine is trapped by a giant ape in a distant jungle. If we all know the end of the film, let's not prejudge here the fate of the juice which promises many and varied delights because the smell is already escaping from the barely opened neck… And if it is in the same vein as his colleagues range, we're going to have a good time!

The pipette is standard, with a medium sized tip, which will hamper filling in some systems. But it is relatively classic for such packaging.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

What strikes you in the first place is the gentleness. Not a hint of aggressiveness, annoying acidity, or flavors that fall flat. We even have an impression of creaminess, smoothness, which makes this cocktail look like a pulpy fruit juice rather than an exotic fruit salad.

The aromatic power is strong and yet, we have an aroma / base combination of a quality and relevance rarely achieved in the category. We therefore taste an addition of exotic fruits where papaya, mango, passion fruit, a sweet banana and others seem to flourish ... But the specificity of Tropika lies in the compactness of its recipe which makes delicate reading of the different aromas. We really have the feeling of a whole which creates a specific fruit and frees itself from each ingredient to invent a unique and devilishly greedy fruit.

If heaven has a taste, no doubt this is it.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Perfect in a dripper that knows how to distinguish between the flavors which this juice is not stingy and the vapor which will be abundant anyway. The hit is not negligible, take into account if you want to do direct inhalation. The power does not scare him, he is not the type to slump as soon as you turn up the volume! The temperature that suits it well is lukewarm, not too hot so as not to lose the thread of the juice. So, if you ramp up, consider opening the airflows (and the window) 😉

My mood ticket on this juice

When a juice is great, it's great. Even an average mark obtained because of some imperfections in the conformity can not taint the taste happiness of the Tropika! A moment of perfect sweetness and a journey that inevitably ends on a hot sun beach, in front of the immensity of the Pacific. Enough to travel far without moving a step.

The Tropika is definitely a pearl and comes at the right time to close a range rich in sensations and discoveries. Lovers of greedy fruits can rush over without a second thought, they will not be disappointed. The flavor, the amplitude, the length in the mouth, the sensuality of a velvety vapor and the magic of this taste so particular to tropical countries, everything comes together to make a great juice. All that's missing is the little paper umbrella and a straw ...

Boy! The same thing !
