Comments on the packaging

Nicotine salt e-liquids have the advantage of offering high dosages of addictive substance, sparing your throat and your wallet.
Your throat, because this substance, which is absorbed more quickly by the body, has a less pronounced hit than its equivalent to “classic” formulations.
Your budget, because nicotine salts generally fade at lower power in devices with moderate juice consumption.

Is this the miracle recipe? This is what we will try to elucidate through these few lines.

V'ape, French designer of vaping potions, offers us a collection of four references to nicotine salts in addition to its other ranges with conventional nicotine.

Packaged in a recycled plastic vial of 10ml, the Classic Blond evaluated by this review is mounted on a PG / VG ratio of 60 / 40 and available at 10, 15 and 20mg / ml.

The price, on the average, is around € 6,50 at resellers or on the brand's website.

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Obviously, this register of legal conformities is flawless.
V'ape potions are made in France, the ingredients and bottles come from France and border countries for traceability and a carbon footprint at the top!
PG, VG and nicotine are of PE (European Pharmacopoeia) quality. The flavors are guaranteed without diacetyl, acetoin and acetyl propionyl. It should also be noted that the sign does not add water, alcohol or dyes to its potions.

For nicotine salts, more than a year of R&D and the development of a specific formulation made it possible to use lactic acid instead of the usual benzoic acid which is debated as to its safety. So vapers enjoy the smoothness of nicotine salts vape without the potential dangers of benzoic acid.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

I did not expect such tobacco.
I imagined a much more classic potion from a blend of basic classic blond.

In fact, if the recipe gives pride of place to Nicot grass, it is much more complex than it appears. Slightly toasted, I feel diffuse aromas of vanilla but above all of coconut which enrich the initial blend.
Finally, tobacco is perhaps the most discreet element for a greener alchemy than just Classic Blond.

As expected, the hit is light and no aggressiveness appears in the back of the throat. Yet the dose is there, my body feels it immediately reminding me that my needs are much lower and characterizes the road traveled since my debut in the vape.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 15W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Light
  • Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Hobbit & PockeX
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 1.2 & 0.6Ω
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Following the recommendations of use, I vaped this reference between 10 and 15W, and that is more than enough.
The assimilation of nicotine is actually much faster and the potion is at ease in starter kits or pods devices, currently in vogue.

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

This review takes me back a few years. Like all of us here, I was limping and after more or less long periods of smoking cessation I was wondering how to manage to do without it for good.
A meeting, the test on a first “vapote” and especially a liquid in 18 mg / ml ensured beginnings which were going to be crowned with success. But that is not the point because it is V'ape which is in the spotlight of these few lines and not me at the initiative of these few lines.

Preamble to affirm that the vape has been considerably enriched, developed and we, the old men of the vaporous clouds of the first hour, have only satisfaction to have been there from the beginnings, as precursors. Today's first-time vapers have access to many materials and a variety which are all reasons to ensure effortless smoking cessation.

Do you have a great need for nicotine and e-liquids are scratching your oral cavity too much? No problem. Nicotine salts are a relevant answer and this is good since V'ape offers a collection of four recipes including this Classic Blond.

By Classic mean tobacco taste because the legislator has removed the generic term from the lexicon of the vape. But rest assured, if this type of recipe ensures an easy transition we do not have the impression of toasting one.
The vape is much richer and this V'ape reference proves it with a juice that is certainly tobacco but with accents of vanilla and coconut taking us far away from this damn addiction of smoked products.

I conclude this assessment by wishing you all the best in this momentous and necessary step in stopping the deadly poison. But also because the beginning of the year is generally conducive to good resolutions.

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?
