The presence of nicotine in the product is written on the box in the strip occupying one third of the surface of the label reserved for this purpose.

Comments on the packaging
The packaging of the Big Apple liquid is perfectly in line with the name of the brand as well as that of the juice. The color of the label fits well with the dominant flavors of the liquid.
The liquid is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic bottle with a capacity of 50ml of juice and which can accommodate up to 60ml after adding the nicotine booster included in the pack. Some information on the label is quite difficult to decipher because of the small size of the writings.
On the front side of the label are the names of the brand as well as the liquid with an illustration relating to the flavors of the juice. The design of the image is reminiscent of some aged posters. On the back of the label, you will find the various legal and security data in force.
On the back of the box, are the instructions illustrating the method to nicotinate the liquid, practical and well done.
The packaging is correct and rather well done, it is also complete thanks in particular to the nicotine booster offered in the pack.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The Big Apple liquid is a type juice that is both greedy but also fruity by the composition of the recipe which combines the two types of liquid.
When opening the bottle, the fruity and alcoholic scents of the apple are perfectly felt. There are also weaker scents of vanilla and dried fruits, the smell is quite strong but remains nevertheless very pleasant.
In terms of taste, the Big Apple has a good aromatic power, unsurprisingly, the apple occupies a large part in the composition of the recipe, rather normal when the liquid is called “Big Apple”!
The apple seems baked, quite sweet with its caramelized and slightly alcoholic notes. The fruit is then wrapped in a slightly spicy vanilla touch, reinforcing the gourmet aspect of the recipe. The almond flavors are much more subtle and are perceived especially at the end of the tasting by closing the tasting, these last touches are relatively sweet and pleasant.
The tasting is both sweet and powerful, the liquid is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Big Apple liquid is a juice whose fruity apple aromas are the ones that stand out the most when tasting. A moderate vape power will be perfect to enjoy it fully, with my vape configuration and a power of 34W, the vapor obtained is rather lukewarm and seems to me quite suitable for this juice.
A rather small draw will reinforce the taste of the apple, in particular its “cooked” and slightly “alcoholic” aspect, with a more open draw these two nuances are still present in the mouth but seem to be a little blurred.
The basis of the recipe displays a PG / VG ratio of 50/50, so this balance allows the use of most current equipment.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Big Apple liquid offered by the Moonshiners Liquids brand is a juice that brilliantly combines two types of juice. Indeed, the liquid is both fruity and greedy and the mixture thus obtained in the mouth is relatively pleasant and pleasant. Rather difficult exercise and risky bet but rather well done and controlled. Well done !
The flavors of the apple are omnipresent, the fruit has a taste rendering similar to that of the baked apple, slightly caramelized and alcoholic.
The vanilla notes that accompany the fruit are more subtle and also seem to be slightly spicy, they help to reinforce the gourmet aspect of the recipe.
The flavors of the almond are only perceived at the end of the tasting, weak notes of dried fruits coming to close the session by adding sweetness.
The Big Apple liquid is interesting from a taste point of view because not only does it manage to combine two distinct types of liquids, namely the fruity and gourmet type, but more interesting still it is a juice that happens to be both sweet and powerful for the greatest pleasure of our palate!
The Big Apple gets its Top Juice in the Vapelier, a fairly high and well-deserved note for a future all day?
