Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Absinthe Rouge contains alcohol, which is penalized by our protocol.
One of the particularities of the VDLV brand and its laboratory (LFEL) is to favor natural flavors. In its manufacturing process, alcohol (support for natural flavors) ensures better stability. In addition, it is almost mandatory, for manufacturing reasons, which I will spare you the technical litany inherent in the very conception of the recipe. Be aware, however, that the quantity is minimal, and above all indicated on the bottle.
Note also that this is not alcohol added to the mixture but ethanol used to work the aromas.
Anyway, this register safe, sanitary and legal, is one of the creeds of the mark Girondine. VDLV is an active member of Fivape and the first French manufacturer to have officially received the e-liquid certification issued by AFNOR Certification. Each element, from the raw material to the finished product, is constantly monitored. The laboratory is at the forefront, with constant research and analysis.
We are therefore guaranteed to obtain a totally “safe” product with this brand. All the items concerning this safety, health and legal register are fully informed.

Comments on the taste of the juice
No ambiguity when opening the vial. The farandole of red fruits is obvious. But we have to count on the contribution of absinthe which, in addition to an anise flavor, brings a little herbaceous touch.
In the vape, the 50% of vegetable glycerin go like a glove to the recipe.
The sugar is present but precisely dosed. Absinthe is revealed by bringing pep and freshness. As with other recipes in the Bordeaux catalog, this green fairy is ideally calibrated. Neither too much nor too little.
The whole is homogeneous, balanced, we almost come to regret that it is not more complex… But this is not the will of Cirkus Authentics, other versions of Vincent being responsible for the “premium” category.
As usual, the aromatic power is moderate but strong enough to make juice an allday in power. The presence and held in mouth are to match. Sufficient to keep the flavor and not too much not to become sickening.
The hit is light but realistic with the 3 mg / ml received for this test and the vapor developed, consistent with the ratio PG / VG.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
A good 50/50. It's versatile, homogeneous. The quality of VDLV aromas cannot be denied, they do not disintegrate under the effect of the heat and the power required.
The recipe remains faithful in RDA and all rebuildable but also in more kits for its target audience: first-time buyers.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning meal, Aperitif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.47 / 5
My mood ticket on this juice
Last juice of the series that I received for evaluation, I kept this recipe to finalize all the reviews of the Authentics Cirkus range.
Some will be surprised but I give this Absinthe Rouge a Top Juice despite the 4.47 / 5 final rating which, de facto, does not usually allow it.
Why ? Because in its category, the recipe is judiciously found and perfectly made. The dosages are perfect and, clearly, there is no saving on the quality of the aromas and the work done.
Neither on the intrinsic quality of the achievements of VDLV. Whether security, legal or marketing.
To verify it, nothing complicated. Go to the store and ask the vendors their point of view. Success is legitimate and does not stop.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
