Comments on the packaging

This blueberry liquid is part of the Blu range that currently offers five flavors: classic tobacco, menthol, blueberry, cherry and strawberry mint. In a cardboard box, the packaging is very complete, accompanied by a notice. An e-liquid that falls into the category of 100% fruity.

The bottle itself is quite common with a standardized capacity in France 10ml, associated with a safe cap for children. The material is made of transparent plastic that is flexible enough for normal pressure and has a double label.

The nicotine level is indicative with a 0.8% assay containing a maximum dose of 9,143mg / ml. Knowing that the dosage recommended for a beginner in the vape is around 12mg / ml, we are in a conservative margin, without overdosing. Blu Classique also comes in a higher percentage of 1,6% nicotine for around 18mg / ml. Too bad there is no lower proposal in 0, 3 or even 6mg / ml.

The proportions between propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine are not provided. They are well present in the composition but not detailed, yet the viscosity of this juice seems a little thicker than an 50 / 50 mixture. We must therefore expect a dosage of propylene glycol, slightly lower than vegetable glycerin.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

For safety aspects, overall everything is well respected, apart from the detail on the exact proportions PG / VG that I did not find.

On the pictogram of danger, the embossing marking is of good size and really noticeable. The lot number is well known, as well as the name of the manufacturer and the liquid.

It may be necessary to emphasize the presence of distilled water among the ingredients but no alcohol or added essential oils.

Comments on the packaging

On this Blu Classic, the label is double. Glued to the small bottle, it is easily undone. You will receive the product in a box with a notice slipped inside, which obviously gives all the necessary information and even more, since the complete range of Blu is also detailed.

The graphic design is rather pretty and without much surprise, it appears in blue tones with a clean design. A nice packaging, which is more in a box, for an entry-level product.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 4.4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

The smell surprises me a little, but as it is identical to its flavor, it is the latter that I will try to describe.

Indeed, there is blueberry, but with a little "pharmaceutical" taste.

The consistency in the mouth is rather fluid, light but remains a long minute in the mouth after expiration. The fruit does not look very natural but remains good, similar to the flavor of blueberry sweets, without too much sugar. However, the sweet side allows to have in the mouth a fruity taste with a greedy orientation, even if one could have desired a greater realism.

A little disappointed by this liquid which, despite its lack of naturalness, however retains a certain charm confectioner.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Although our blueberry is a fruity, its flavor varies little by amounting to power. This comforts me a little in my feelings about the lack of naturalness on this product.

Whether on clearomiser, RTA or dripper, the taste does not change.

The hit is noticeable with a medium vapor density.

My mood ticket on this juice

A blueberry with mixed results due to its lack of authenticity. This fruitiness is more of a confectionery too fluid to be a gourmand and lacking in roundness to change category. In the end, this e-liquid plays on two tables and does not manage to convince.

It's a shame because its stability remains intact when you change the atomizer, resistance or power. The aroma is not very precise but remains correct for an entry-level juice.

The packaging is, for its part, superb and irreproachable. I hope that Blu will think about adding the PG / VG percentage in the next batches so that the vapers can make a choice on this balance.

A very accessible product that can be used all day.
