Comments on the packaging
VDLV is a major player in the world of the vape, the vapers know it well and know the guarantee of healthiness offered by each liquid.
More than 100 flavors are available, including the V'ICE brand with eight juices with fresh and fruity flavors, ideal for this summer with the hot days to come!
The liquids in the collection are offered in two variants. One with a classic 10 ml format and nicotine levels displaying values of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 16 mg/ml and another in a 50 ml format, of course without nicotine.
For the 50 ml formats, the liquids are overdosed in aromas. It will therefore be necessary before use to absolutely add neutral base or a nicotine booster according to your needs.

This addition can be made directly in the vial which can accommodate up to 60 ml of product, this instruction is clearly specified on the label of the bottle.
It is not recommended to add more than two boosters so as not to distort the flavors.

Comments on the packaging
Once is not custom, we always find our polar bear, mascot of the brand, this time ready to do battle in boxer's outfit. This comic strip illustration fits perfectly with the name of the juice. Cassis Clay is a play on words referring to a well-known American boxer that I leave you the pleasure of finding...
The finishes of the packaging are simply excellent, I particularly appreciate the “rubbed” aspect of the label which thus offers a really pleasant touch!
All the various data on the label are very clear and easily readable, the brand name and the illustration are slightly raised, I love it!
VDLV therefore offers us a product whose packaging has been produced with the greatest care, congratulations for this work!

Comments on the taste of the juice
Cassis Clay is a fruity/fresh with flavors of blackcurrant, grape and lychee. The presence of blackcurrant in the composition is no doubt on the nose even if the smell is also sweet.
Cassis Clay has good aromatic power, especially with regard to blackcurrant and grapes, which are the most pronounced compared to a litchi that is much further back and only appears at the end of the tasting thanks to its subtle floral touches.
The blackcurrant is realistic, the rendering obtained respects its particular characteristics, very aromatic, slightly acidic and with a very tannic taste, which are well transcribed.
The grape is expressed by its juicier and sweeter touches, a red grape type grape whose taste notes of Muscat are well reproduced.
The whole has a certain taste homogeneity thanks to the different variations of the tannic and musky notes coming from the grapes and the blackcurrant whose acidity seems to raise the whole.
The fresh aspect of Cassis Clay is present but not too exaggerated, we thus obtain a delicately refreshing juice perfect for the current season!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Typically fruity/fresh Cassis Clay will not require too much power to express itself fully, its balanced base will allow it to be used with the majority of existing devices, including pods.
A restricted type of draw will allow the balance of flavors to be maintained. With a more open draw, the refreshing and tangy notes become more diffuse.

My mood ticket on this juice
Cassis Clay brilliantly combines the fruity flavors of grapes and blackcurrants to offer us in the mouth a fruity composition with a certain “punch” and which awakens the taste buds!
The refreshing notes suggested by the lychee at the end of the tasting are more delicate.
A liquid which, despite its acidity, remains quite light, perfect for any lover of fruitiness with “pep”, provided of course that they appreciate the singular musky and tannic taste touches which can be curious at first sight!
