Comments on the taste of the juice
Black Bird liquid is a gourmet type juice with flavors of coffee, nuts, oak wood and hints of hazelnut. When opening the bottle, the perceived smell is above all that of coffee with faint nutty scents.
In terms of taste, the liquid is light, the coffee has good aromatic power, a “black” type coffee that is very slightly sweet. Hazelnut and walnut are much lower in intensity than coffee, they seem to be mixed and are especially felt at the end of the vape.
The hazelnut is pronounced a little more than the walnut in this mixture, a “praline” type hazelnut which comes to reinforce the greedy aspect of the recipe. As for the oak wood, I don't particularly feel it, certainly “crushed” by the other flavors.
The tasting is quite sweet and greedy, it is quite pleasant and not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For tasting, the Black Bird has been boosted to have a juice with a nicotine level of 3mg / ml.
With this configuration of vape the inspiration is soft, the passage in the throat and the hit light.
At the expiration, the vapor obtained is of the “normal” type, the flavors of the coffee are expressed first, weakly sweet of “black coffee” type with a really good and faithful taste. Then, it is the flavors of hazelnut and walnut, mixed together, that appear while accompanying the coffee. The hazelnut seems to be a little more present than the walnut, a “praline” type hazelnut which lasts until the end of the vape, reinforcing the gourmet side of the recipe.
The tasting is really delicious, sweet and not disgusting.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Black Bird liquid offered by Le Vaporium is a gourmet type liquid with very realistic coffee flavors, there is a slightly sweet “black” side. The hazelnut and the walnut seem tastefully mixed but the hazelnut comes out a little more in taste thanks in particular to its “praline” aspect which reinforces the gourmet side of the composition.
The tasting is really pleasant, pleasant, sweet and above all delicious. A deserved “Top Juice” for a very gourmet and addictive break.
