Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
We do not have all the data relating to legal and safety compliance in force. The name of the laboratory manufacturing the product as well as the batch number to ensure the traceability of the juice is missing. In addition, the proportions of the ingredients used are not clearly indicated and the nicotine level is not visible.
We still find the name of the range from which the juice comes, the name of the liquid and the content of the product in the bottle. We can also see the pictogram concerning the over 18s, the origin of the product, the VG rate. We find information on the precautions for use with the ingredients that make up the recipe. Finally, the optimal use-by date and the contact details of a consumer service are present.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 1.67 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
The Blackcurrant is packaged in a plastic bottle that can hold up to 60ml of product. The bottle is wrapped with a piece of cardboard on which is placed a very fine paper acting as a label which also covers part of the stopper, we can thus ensure that the bottle is new.
The juices in the Aisu range all have the same aesthetic code where only the characteristics specific to each product change. On the front are the names of the range and the liquid with the product capacity in the bottle. On the back of the label, you can see the brand's logo, the pictogram for over 18s, the origin of the juice and the VG rate.
You can also access information on the precautions for use and the ingredients that make up the recipe. The details and contacts of a consumer service are listed there.
The DLUO appears on the part of the label covering the cap. Blackcurrant is sometimes offered with an additional 10ml vial of nicotine salt to boost the product.
The packaging is complete, rather correct even if it does not really agree, aesthetically, with the name of the product.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
To keep a certain freshness (already omnipresent) and preserve the fruity aspect of the composition, the tasting was carried out with a vape power of 32W. The cotton used is Holy Fiber from HOLY JUICE LAB and the juice was boosted with 10ml of nicotine salt in 18mg / ml. With this configuration of vape the inspiration is soft but pay attention to the fresh aspect which is already felt, the passage in the throat and the hit are rather average, we can guess the fruity notes of the recipe.
At the expiration, the vapor obtained is of the “normal” type, the fruity flavors of blackcurrant are expressed first, a blackcurrant tastefully fruity and sweet. Then, at the end of the expiration, the mint arrives, a peppermint-type mint which seems to intensify the freshness of the juice and which remains for a short time in the mouth at the end of the vape.
The tasting is pleasant, and despite the very real fresh and peppery touches, the liquid is not disgusting.
