Comments on the packaging
The wind is blowing through Solana's sails right now. At this time, the liquidators are happy to offer us summer juices, fruity and full of freshness, but it is rather the trade winds that swell the jib of the Pas de Calais manufacturer's boat as the Sagas range arrives at the port, made up of of two unrepentant delicacies.
If the first opus, the Original, had literally amazed us, at the writing of Vapelier, by its atypical taste and its ability to revolutionize the category while preserving a red thread of taste tradition, we hoped for the return to dock of the Blend, which takes up the codes of its elder by adding a note of tobacco for lovers of Nicot grass.
The expectation is therefore high for this liquid in 50 ml of overdosed aroma that will have to be extended by 10 ml or more of nicotine base or not in order to ultimately have a ready-to-vape combo between 0 and 6 mg/ml of nicotine. The container will be able to accept about 75 ml of preparation, so there is room to indulge.
The price, estimated at 19.00 €, is significantly lower than the market average, good news for vapers. Watch out for your favorite shops, online or physical, so as not to miss this sequel that has invaded the stalls since today. And if you can't find it, it will still be available on the manufacturer's website.
So, will the wait be justified and the result up to par? This is what we are going to check now.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Solana has been around for eight years. The manufacturer, like the other pillars of the vape, knows the workings of the legislation well and is always in favor of increased product quality. No surprise then to have a clear round at this imposed figure.
The brand insists on the presence of cinnamaldehyde in the composition in order to alert the rare people who could be allergic to this compound of natural origin. Prevention is better than cure.

Comments on the packaging
The range's visual DNA is interesting and comes together wonderfully in this second reference. The only notable difference is the change in color of the label which switches from emerald green to solar yellow.
We therefore find the disturbing Jaffa warrior, the stargate very much in the spirit of the film and the American series that we all know, hoping that a Goa'uld has not slipped into the bottle. A nice packaging that plays the card of nostalgia. Always a winning move.

Comments on the taste of the juice
If you like the Original from the same line, you'll love the Blend.
And for good reason, this liquid takes up the range of flavors of its big brother while adding a note of tobacco. This is a blend, as its name suggests, rather blond with this particularity of Virginia which at the same time gives a significant depth to the assembly but also a slight aggressive aspect at the top of the taste spectrum.
For the rest, we rediscover everything that amazed us during the tasting of the Original: a very solar and fruity vanilla, a sweet and long pecan nut in the mouth and this famous mystery aroma which adds an extremely original note to the everything: a bit of exoticism and a marked texture on the palate with diaphanous notes of chestnut.
We also find the surprising freshness although very discreet which takes the liquid to epicurean heights and sifts the gourmet aspect of the recipe.
The new assembly works wonderfully and the duo is a winner on all counts. Deeper and a little more aggressive than its twin, it is also less "lazy" and more all-day by vocation. And always an ideal sugar level.
It's very addictive, very new, very regressive and very good. In short, very very!

My mood ticket on this juice
It's a pair of aces that Solana is hitting us with at the start of the summer.
We were expecting a provender of Siberian juices, fruity and over-sweet. It is missed, we obtain with the Blend a very innovative liquid which clears a little more the paths of taste in the vape while freeing itself with joy from the "gustatively correct" and by proposing a real novelty in a category which has it. much needed.
Gourmands do not abstain. Gourmets welcome! It is high time to sit at the same table because this juice concerns all of you.
Top Vapelier for a landmark discovery.
