Comments on the packaging

So here we are back on the Authentics range from Cirkus, a collection widely acclaimed by primovapoteurs for a “Fresh Cassis” that we present to you exclusively. A juice that we imagine as being in season and of which we already know, just by saying the name, what it will tell us in terms of taste!

Available in 0, 3, 6, 12 and 16mg / ml of nicotine for a large audience, it benefits, like its colleagues in the range, from flexible plastic packaging and a very fine tip. A bias of practicality therefore which seems to be consistent with the target audience.

Mounted on a 50/50 base, the Fresh Blackcurrant therefore grants itself a universal PG / VG ratio and will therefore concern, in addition to the first-jet, those of us who like simple but good liquids. I suggest you check it further.

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

Comments on the packaging

The packaging is simple but totally in phase with the commercial purpose of the liquid.

As usual with the pessacais manufacturer, there is a great sense of bottling that transpires on a label bearing the colors of the world of the circus of yesteryear, a feast for the eyes. It's pretty, neutral enough not to attract the wrath of the Holy Inquisition and sufficiently meaningful not to get drops in your nose by mistake! 

Attractive.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

When a liquid is called "Fresh Cassis", it seems quite difficult to detect watermelon, violet, tobacco or rhododendron. So, since the challenge does not concern the more or less informed reading of a recipe, we only have one thing to do: enjoy! 

We underestimate too much, far too much, the complexity of making a mono-aroma liquid like this one. Indeed, on a complex juice, it is rare that at least one of the constituent flavors does not please someone. While on basic potions, if we mess up, it is beautiful and without hope of return! Nothing to make up for!

So here we have a cassis, dark, classic but full of flavor. The fruit is doubled on tasting with a very slight fermentation effect which sometimes brings it closer to blackcurrant liqueur. Effect supported by an undeniable sweetness. We do not find the typical acidity of blackcurrant and this could constitute a brake for fruit lovers, but we feel a unifying bias towards sweetness and sobriety which may convince the most reluctant.

If the promised freshness does exist, it is in a trace. It is just if a feeling of freshness persists a few seconds after the puff. Good for those who do not find themselves in extra-fresh juices. The recipe works, the blend is serious and the overall taste keeps the promise made. Most will love it. Some may find the liquid a bit consensual.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Assuring a good performance at the rise to power for a fruity, fresh Cassis will however be tasted at its best in a tight clearomizer, quite accurate in the return of flavors, like a Nautilus 2.

The hit is average. The vapor quite abundant and well structured. The vape is pleasant and is positioned on a medium aromatic power that does not explode in the mouth but can be vaped at will without disgusting.

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.38 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The final note by itself, the Fresh Cassis from Cirkus / VDLV is a good product that conscientiously fills all the boxes of its specifications. 

The fruit is present, soft and subtle. The freshness is light like a summer breeze. The ideal liquid to quit smoking if you are in love with black Burgundy berries.

If we add to that a standard price and a controlled and healthy production, we obtain an elegant pearl that will satisfy its amateurs.
