Comments on the packaging
Flavor-hit, creator of flavors, develops its Galactik range and offers three very different fruit juices. Krypton, Orion (which we tested in a previous review) and Astro-V that we will explore together.
Astro-V comes in its cardboard vessel enclosing a fairly flexible plastic vial of 10ml. The bottle is made of dark smoked plastic and helps protect the liquid against UV and other astral dust.
The PG / VG ratio is 50/50. I tested this nicotine liquid in 3mg / ml but you can find it in 0, 3, 6 or 12 mg / ml of nicotine.
The shops exchange it for € 5,9 which classifies it entry-level. There is a 20ml version to boost but, for larger consumers of liquid, a larger capacity would be wise to offer. A 50ml for example.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Flavor-hit does a great job of bringing its products into compliance in general and the Galactik range does not deviate from this principle. We thus find on the box and on the vial all the legal and security indications.
A raised triangle on the box and the vial warns visually impaired people of the dangerousness of the product. Pregnant women and minors are also warned of the dangers by a pictogram. The various warnings are listed in several languages on the box and on the instructions for use inside.
The nicotine level is clearly indicated in orange on a white background. It should be noted because many of us seek it sometimes. On a much smaller scale, we can decipher the composition of the liquid, the pg / yd ratio, the lot number, the expiration date and a consumer phone number in the event of a problem. The manufacturer's name and address can be found to the right of the box.
We have all the necessary and obligatory information to start our tasting.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The galactik range is based on a science fiction theme and femme fatale, comics style. Each liquid in the range has its female character staged and surrounded by planets. The work is neat, well done and pleasing to the eye. The theme is perhaps a little common but it is effective and above all corresponds well to the name of the Galactik range.
The name of the range is embellished by a small red alien in place of the A and the name of the liquid is found at the bottom. The general idea is the comic of course, but that suggests, when looking at the boxes together, at different episodes. The uniqueness in the story, while talking about different adventures. Each juice will speak to you differently but all will have one thing in common: the fruit. The designers of Flavor-hit did a good job on this visual.

Comments on the taste of the juice
When opening the bottle escapes the scent of red fruit, undoubtedly marked by blackcurrant. The smell is pleasant and realistic. I could not smell other red fruits than blackcurrant, my sense of smell is perhaps not keen enough. So let's taste to find the other fruits.
In terms of taste, it is the sensation of freshness that comes first. It's very pleasant, a bit like preparing your palate for the flavors that will come next. The blackcurrant is well felt. It is a ripe and sweet blackcurrant. I was a little afraid that it was too acidic but it is not. The freshness / blackcurrant association reminds me of sorbets made from the same fruit. A touch of acidity is there, however, but I think it is provided by the raspberry, also present in the cocktail. Maybe there are other red fruits present in the recipe but I cannot tell them apart.
The exhaled vapor is correct, normal, and the hit is light.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I used Cotton for this tasting Holy Fiber: blend of cotton and cellulose fibers. I chose to start the tasting at the power of 20W but I went up to 25W to better feel the hit. I also closed the airflow to vape tighter.
I think this juice will suit beginner vapers who will be able to use their clearo without having to climb the towers to find all the flavor and sensations they are looking for. So I summarize: liquid which will correspond well to all clearomizers, the airflow not very open to keep the flavor, no need for a lot of power because we are dealing with a fresh fruit.

My mood ticket on this juice
New adventure in the Galactik series with Astro-V. The juice offered by Flavor-hit is well made and keeps its promise: a fresh red fruit juice with blackcurrant dominance. This is a fairly exploited theme in the field of fruity juices but the recipe is well done, the taste is very pleasant.
The freshness of this liquid is just right and does not take precedence over the fruit. Ripe blackcurrant is the dominant and realistic flavor but one can also feel other red fruits, although the flavors are more imprecise.
It is a good liquid for beginners in the world of vapers but the more informed may also find it of interest. It deserves a Top-Jus for the seriousness and the rendering of the recipe. However, I regret that it is not offered in 50ml because in all-day, I will need many vials to satisfy my appetite!
Astro-V is a very good fresh liquid with red fruits. To discover so!
