Comments on the packaging

The last of the Flavor Art for which I have to give you the evaluation, Bourbon comes from the gourmet range (Sweet). Distributed by the company Absotech, it is thanks to it that we were able to get to know the potions from the other side of the Alps.

Packaged in 10 ml bottles of clear plastic and fitted with a fine tip at the end. The PG / VG ratio is set at 50 / 40, the remaining 10% being spent on nicotine, flavors and distilled water.

Nicotine levels are a bit disruptive to our habits since 4,5 and 9 mg / ml are offered, without omitting the nicotine-free reference or the highest one at 18 mg / ml.
These dosages are identifiable by plugs of different colors:
Green for 0 mg / ml
Light blue for 4,5 mg / ml
Blue for 9 mg / ml
Red for 18 mg / ml

The price is 5,50 € the 10 ml, to appear in the category of entry-level.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The transalpine productions meet the ISO 8317 standard and from a safety and health point of view we must underline the efforts of the brand, which offers us juices without alcohol and other prohibited substances. A DLUO, a batch number as well as the coordinates of the place of manufacture and those of distribution are part of the endowment.

For the rest, I am less convinced. The mandatory information is there but the text is illegible once in hand. All the information is present but leaves the impression of having been put only to clear it.
The system opening / closing the cap does not satisfy me. I judge it to be inefficient, except for the breakable tongue as security for the first use.

 

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Bof
  • The packaging effort made is in line with the price category: Could do better for the price

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 3.33 / 5 3.3 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

Sensation similar to the previous chapter. I have the impression that the subject was dealt with quickly ... just to get rid of it.
For the look, the Flavor Art packaging will not win the prize for attractiveness, but the job is done. Since all incentives to consume are absent, this should satisfy the legislator.

  • This liquid reminds me: Nothing

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 3.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Unfortunately, the opening of this “Bourbon” once again confirms the lack of aromas of Flavor Art potions.
Alas confirmed in the vape, the feeling is really not exciting. It is poor in taste, admittedly a little sweet, but the latter does not go well with the really sluggish vanilla.
Perhaps it would have been better to prefer the Tahitian pod, reputed to be more “punchy” in terms of developed aromas.
And I'm telling you about my impression on the dripper… I didn't even want to take the RBA test.
Just to see, I could have brought out an old Ce5 Aspire, I still have some left in the back of the drawer ... with BVC rezero in 1.8Ω.
By correction towards the people who work for the brand, I prefer to abstain.

The hit and the steam are in accordance with the announced dosages.

My mood ticket on this juice

Mr. Flavor Art, it will be very difficult to impose on the French market with these recipes.
I note your efforts to: offer us “safe” potions without prohibited substances. The desire to offer e-liquids at “contained” prices.
Your distributor for our country who does not spare his time to promote and better represent your production.

Unfortunately, the juices that I have personally evaluated are not up to the levels or standards of our French production.
I do not judge the quality of your raw materials because it would have required a comparison with a reference which is strongly provided.
Specific to first-time vapers? I must warn you that ours have a sharp palate even if not all have dropped the “cig”.
The problem is that with these recipes under dosed aromas you will not convince many.
Maybe I'm wrong and your “real” specialty is concentrated aromas. But I did not have the opportunity to test them.
I do not doubt your goodwill, even if a few elements allowed me to doubt and to note a job a little too quickly carried out.

However, my opinion does not pretend to be universality and I was told that recipes had won the votes of some of my friends at Vapelier.
So, it is quite natural that I wish you good luck for the future within “our” ecosystem and especially good sales.

Thank you to all those who take the time and the trouble to read me and see you soon for new hazy adventures,

Marquolive

About the Author

Follower of the tobacco vape and rather "tight" I do not balk in front of good greedy clouders. I love flavor-oriented drippers but am very curious about the evolutions of our common passion for personal vaporizers. Good reasons to make my modest contribution here, no?
