Comments on the packaging

Garage liquids are the result of the collaboration between two French brands, Alfaliquid and Le Labo Basque. Two heavyweights who have joined forces to deliver this very 50's range in its theme.

This association therefore offers us a range of four juices with fruity flavors on the theme of certain emblematic vehicles from the 50s to the 70s, hence the name of the range.

Chevy liquid is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic bottle that is quite opaque in order to preserve its contents from UV rays. The vial contains 50 ml of product and can accommodate up to 60 ml after the possible addition of a nicotine booster, the rate obtained then being 3 mg/ml.

The base of the recipe is balanced and displays a ratio of PG / VG of 50/50, the nominal rate of nicotine is obviously zero given the amount of liquid present in the bottle.

The Chevy liquid is displayed at a price of 19.90 € and thus ranks among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

All the legal and safety data in force are present on the label of the bottle, nothing surprising given the seriousness of the two French brands.

The list of ingredients is displayed and mentions the presence of alcohol in the composition of the recipe. It also indicates the existence of limonene, limonene is an aromatic ingredient present in different plant species and in certain foods. It is found in high quantities, especially in lemons and citrus fruits. So be careful if you are intolerant to this compound. Perfect transparency of the product composition from the manufacturer!

Chevy fluid has AFNOR certification, proof of quality and safety.

Comments on the packaging

The theme of the Garage range fits perfectly with the names of the juices that compose it. On the label of the bottle, there is an adequate illustration. This is the famous Chevrolet brand car from the 60s, the Impala. Besides, the word Chevy is sometimes considered a colloquial abbreviation of the Chevrolet brand.

The tip of the vial lifts up so that you can add nicotine with disconcerting ease, I really appreciate this kind of well thought out little detail which makes it easier to use the product!

Two places are present on the label in order to note the dosage of nicotine carried out as well as the brand of the nicotine booster used.

The packaging is very well done, it's clean and well finished.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Chevy is a fruity type juice with tea and lime flavors. At the opening of the bottle, I feel the lemony flavors very well, those of the tea becoming much more discreet.

The flavors of lime are the ones that I perceive the most in the mouth, they have a very good aromatic power. A realistic lemon with a very tangy and bitter taste reminiscent of the zest of the fruit.

The flavors of the tea are much more diffuse and I guess them especially at the end of the tasting. The tea delicately softens the tangy and bitter notes of the lemon. At this point in the tasting, additional sweet notes appear to soften everything. The result is very subtle, this last touch of taste is really very pleasant in the mouth.

The homogeneity between the olfactory and taste sensations is perfect, the liquid is very soft and light.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Chevy liquid is mounted on a balanced base, any type of material accepting the PG/VG ratio of 50/50 will be perfect for tasting. So that includes the pods.

A high power of vape and a draw of the restricted type will be ideal in order to compensate for the lightness and the sweetness of the juice. With a more airy draw, the already discreet flavors of the tea fade.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - tea breakfast, Aperitif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea, At night for the insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.59 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

I really liked the Chevy liquid, especially the very realistic lemony part which offers a lot of pep in the mouth.

The taste of tea is also very interesting because, despite its aromatic weakness compared to lemon, the drink brilliantly brings subtle additional sweet and sweet notes at the end of the tasting and also contributes to the lightness of the whole.

We therefore obtain with the Chevy a very good fruity juice that is both tangy and light, which can be suitable without any worries for “All Day”, sweet but with tone thanks to the citrus fruits!
