Comments on the packaging
A Toulouse manufacturer present in the vaping ecosystem since 2013, Ekoms has carved out a place in the plethora of vaping liquids.
With a relatively complete catalog, our southerners work with seriousness and obstinacy. A pledge of this involvement: the integration of the AFNOR standard development committee on e-liquids to (voluntary) standards even more severe than those proposed by the TPD.
Our potion of the day is the Aoda, only proposed in large format of 20ml or 50ml. About us, Ekoms wisely sent us a bottle of 50ml.
These two versions are obviously without nicotine and in overdosed aromas allowing the addition of nicotine base or not according to the needs of each one.
The PG / VG ratio is 35/65 allowing us to achieve beautiful clouds without ignoring the flavors.
The resale price generally found is 22,90 € for 50ml.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Without the addictive substance, the display requirements are much less.
Despite everything, Ekoms offers us a product to French “standards” enjoying a high level of security.
Not mandatory, I would nevertheless have appreciated a pictogram for the visually impaired, always commendable attention to a public having to deal with the handicap.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The description is not a shadow of a doubt. The Aoda is a competitor of the famous Red Astaire.
"A powerful invocation of red fruits sublimates a fresh blend of anise, eucalyptus and menthol."
Often copied but rarely equaled, how will Ekoms flavor specialists fare? ...
The first impression is that of a rounder juice on the palate with less roughness and aggressiveness. The percentage of vegetable glycerin is no stranger to this and it “sticks” rather well to the recipe.
The aromas are precise, fine and rather subtle. The dosages are perfectly done to obtain a very homogeneous juice with an obvious alchemy.
Menthol and anise are completely under control in order to calm the ardor, their presence is at the service of red fruits which are best expressed in a well-balanced freshness.
The aromatic power is moderate. The hit obtained by my potion at 3mg / ml is light. The holding and the rest in the mouth are well calibrated. The status of allday is obtained handily.

My mood ticket on this juice
Obviously the Aoda does more than evoke the famous English bestseller with a reddish color recognizable among a thousand.
Ekoms, however, did not engage in plagiarism. I want proof of the name, perfectly distant and unrelated or any other connection with the potion I am referring to.
The recipe Toulouse is indeed an original recipe.
Red fruits, anise, eucalyptus and menthol to offer a fruity and fresh vape.
The alchemy of this set is obvious and takes advantage of a precise dosage of aromas to play it subtle and delicate.
Personally, I don't like Red Astaire and these aromas bothered me a bit. Is it for this reason? In any case, this proposal did not put me off and I even give it some support.
Perhaps lovers of the taste category will scream haro on what they consider to be a cloning, personally all the criteria are met to make Aoda a very good juice.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive.
