Comments on the packaging
Red, green and white. These are the three colors of the Basque flag, the one that everyone knows. But these are not the only ones. There are also the typical houses, the ocean, the character of the inhabitants, those who fished for whales with boats in the old days, the omnipresent emerald of a nature that has been preserved in the hinterland. and gastronomy in the image of a unique cultural exception. Strong, autonomous, rich in flavors and emotion. Pictures of Epinal? No, a tangible reality.
Starting from this simple premise, here is Mixup Labs, a Basque liquid man carrying these multiple shades very high. A manufacturer that we know little or at least not enough, except among the vapers-browsers who sing the tasty expertise on social networks, and whose catalog is enriched every day by offering more than fifty references, sorry for the little, in all taste categories and all areas of the game. 10 ml, there is. 45 ml, yes, we also have. 50? The same. 100, of course! Without counting the concentrates, the base, the boosters or the CBD, we are not sectarian in the brand.
Today, Mixup Labs offers us an e-liquid very popular with food lovers and lovers of gastronomy, the Basque Cake. Suffice to say that we are going to take a closer look at a pillar of hexagonal pastry making which has long crossed all borders and spread its reputation as a rustic and dreamy cake around the world. It is in the Chubbiz Gourmand range that we find this very intriguing liquid, available in 50 ml but also in 100 ml. A range to which we will come back later because there are many beautiful things to discover there.
First of all, here, we use a 100% vegetable base because we care about the perfect health of consumers. So vegetable propylene glycol as it should be, vegetable glycerin of course and a very greedy rate of 30/70 of PG / Vg to make your atomizers waltz. All for € 19.90, a price in the heart of the market. It's starting to look like premium e-liquid, isn't it?
In the end, all that remains is to verify whether the recipe developed by Marianne Hirigoyen in 1830 which delighted the palaces of European crowned heads has been respected with dignity, if not to the letter, liquid obliges, but at least in the mind.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
In any case, it is not in terms of security that we have to worry about. Everything is cut to the line, clearly expressed and perfectly in the nails of a legislation however finicky. Professional work to be saluted very low. Coup de beret obligatory.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The design skilfully plays on the aesthetic icons of Euskal Herria (Basque Country in good French). At the top, under the name of the range, we discover the Ikurriña (Basque flag) and the entire background is adorned with the beautiful red hue in a fade of the most beautiful effect.
Then the name of the product stands out in white and embossed which flatters the touch, overhanging the mention Euskal herria egina (made in the Basque Country) as well as a translation in the same language of the French surname: Etxeko Biskotxa, literally “the cake of the house”, the initial name of our illustrious pastry shop surrounding the lauburu or Basque cross.
It's fresh, very local and devilishly exotic. Very good work as a graphic designer who honors the cardinal points of a country which has aroused the most unbridled fantasies in the collective unconscious.

Comments on the taste of the juice
I'm not going to give you the two-ball suspense, this liquid is splendid! A real success which, if it took fifteen months to put back on the workbench to perfect the recipe, will have spent much less time in my atomizer before the 50 ml bottle ends as if by magic! 😲
From the first puff, we discover a subtle and airy gluttony, carrying numerous and crying notes of truth. First, the shortbread dough, perfect, between skillfully dosed sugar, almost palpable eggs and some finely salted reminiscences for more realism. Then, the pastry cream, playing a lot on the softness of the liquid which takes all the mouth and delivers touches of vanilla and almond. A notable length in the mouth for a gourmet juice and we have the quinté in order!
The recipe is tailor-made, not ready to vape. It is delicious, of course, but also very fine in the precision of the flavors, sweet but without excess and it is vaped from morning to evening and from evening to morning without being able to stop. A guilty pleasure but never disgusting and which will lead you directly to gourmet paradise and not to the hell of sucralose overdoses which, in the end, disgust more than they inspire.
The gourmet of this end of the year, undoubtedly!

My mood ticket on this juice
What a slap!
I admit that I was expecting a more or less faithful ersatz of my favorite pastry, but now I fell for it. Besides, I have to pick them up, it's messy. This liquid keeps all its promises and does even better than that, it delivers us moments of selfish and therefore essential bliss. It is strongly advised to test it, and adopt it as soon as possible!
Of course, sorrowful spirits will object that “it's better with black cherry jam, Basque cake” or “with a hint of rum”. Wait a minute, I bet that Mixup Labs will surprise us in the future to keep everyone happy.
Good, Top Juice mandatory for a striking liquid that will delight your end of year celebrations.
On the other hand, there is a big negative point. They did not deliver a case to me !!! 😭
