Comments on the packaging

I like it when the name of a range fits perfectly with the names of the juices that make it up. Here, it is absolutely the case and it is supported by the illustrations present on the labels of the bottles.

For Bobber, it is therefore a visual representing the famous motorcycle born in the post-war period, lightened for performance, which ultimately gives an easily recognizable shortened motorcycle.

The liquids in the range are easily identifiable by their mauve colors, the label has a smooth finish, the illustration and the name of the range are shiny.

A small, well-thought-out and above all practical detail, the tip of the vial lifts up to facilitate the possible addition of nicotine. A space is provided on the label to note the brand of booster used and the dosage carried out.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Bobber liquid is a fruity one with flavors of watermelon, pineapple, melon and grenadine.

I perceive very well the fruity scents of pineapple and melon at the opening of the bottle. The scents are pleasant and sweet. I also perceive the sweet and juicy notes of the composition. At the olfactory stage, watermelon and grenadine are more diffuse.

The flavors of watermelon and melon are the ones that I pick up the most in the mouth because they have the most pronounced aromatic power. The taste rendering is realistic, the juicy notes well transcribed.

The flavors of the pineapple are weaker in intensity, I guess them especially at the end of the tasting by the slightly sweet and tangy notes that they then provide and which last a short time in the mouth.

Regarding the flavors of grenadine, they are much more subdued than the other flavors. They bring subtle sweet and aromatic notes at the end of the tasting but the much more intense flavors of pineapple easily carry them away.

The liquid is soft and light.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Any type of material accepting the balanced PG/VG ratio of the composition will be perfect for this liquid, which means that the choice is vast!

A high power with a rather limited draw will allow you to control the relative sweetness of the juice and to savor it fully while preserving the balance of flavors that make it up. With a more open draw, the pineapple felt at the end of the tasting is more diffuse.
