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

Comments on the packaging

The now classic glass vial for premium juices is tinted in red. For a range Red  Rock, we're in tune. The red and black label featuring the pirate nave of the Captain River also illustrates, in my opinion, the subject at best. The liquid is perfectly transparent, as for its smell and taste, having never smelled or tasted of a pirate captain, I can not decently swear that they are in agreement or not, so in the doubt I answer yes, all yes, but that is my opinion only and I won't blame you for not sharing them.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

You can't go wrong with the dominant smell, a Granny apple. Then comes a less discernible scent when you do not know the composition of the aromas. The closest would be the Spanish melon at first glance.

The taste is still something else, the apple is well placed, it is sweet / tangy and there is indeed another actor who comes to particularize this mixture, it is the cucumber.

So I give you what I discovered on the Savourea site as is:
"Captain River and his crew invite you to discover its sweet apple-cucumber cream embellished with its mysterious tangy pearls".

With the vape, it is clearly the apple and the cucumber which give the answer. Cream, I did not feel the presence and for the acidity, it is very behind but effective. On the other hand, I do not determine the nature of these "pearls" about which we are told.

The cucumber does not really add flavor, but some astringency to the juice. Associated with the apple, it emerges an impression of vaping a melon from Spain, as if the apple fades before being able to fully assert itself.

The power is moderate, the length in the mouth too. A good step-wise amplitude confirms the premium quality, the tastes are authentic because they come from natural aromas of plants and fruits. At 6 mg / ml the hit is not pronounced, the vapor production is normal.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 23 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Origen V3 (dripper), Royal Hunter mini
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.7 (RH mini) 0,25 (Origen)
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Stainless steel

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

On the Origen, with Fiber Freaks D1 and a 0,25 ohm stainless steel double-coil, I had to lower the power to 45 / 50W to enjoy its flavors. Beyond that, there is a risk of "caramelization" which is not pleasant to me. You will also have to impose such ventilation, that the rendering will be too diluted.

It is with the Royal Hunter mini at 0,7ohm in Kanthal and 23 / 25W that this juice seemed to me the most stable. Almost no hit on the other hand.

The fluidity of Captain River will allow you to vape it in any type of atomizer, it does not deposit on the coil, or very little, non-vaporized residue.

As with most fruity flavors, I do not recommend toasting beyond “standards”. It is a special blend, which needs to be tried with settings that are not too airy, both to avoid a hot vape and not to dilute the flavors too much. It is not powerful, the effects of its dosage could disappoint you as it is subject to fading by a too large intake of air.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities, End of the evening with or without herbal tea
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.06 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

I have a habit (questionable it is true) of considering the vast majority of juices as possible alldays. The Captain River is not excessive both in power and in sugar, it is not disgusting and as long as you have found the appropriate assembly / settings compromise, you will have an authentic rendering of the taste of the aromas. It is thanks to these criteria that I allow myself to consider this juice as an allday.

Savourea offers us here an original blend which may displease unconditional fans of the raw Granny apple, but which will nevertheless suit those who tolerate the unforeseen, the non-conforming, something else in short.

It is certainly not the fruit of the year, I found it pleasant and particular, not being a fruity enthusiast. However, I salute the risk-taking of the team of designers who dared to combine flavors that were ultimately successful.

I finally end with a little detour on the price of the vial, really attractive, to convince you to try the juices of this range, reminding you that these are elaborate blends, very well packaged, and that a thousand reviews will not be worth the opinion you will have from your own experience.

See you soon !
