Comments on the packaging

With the Classic TE-4, we reconnect with the great house tradition of abstract surnames. But whatever, as an old American series said: “the truth is elsewhere”. This elsewhere lies in a complete range that Taffe-elec seems to have studied in depth to please as many people as possible, a beautiful series where nuggets flourish where you least expect them. Thus, we wish this TE-4 the same success in our pages as the previous Classics in the collection, all highly recommendable, which is not frequent.

We are starting to get used to it, the TE-4 comes in two options: 10 ml and 50 ml.

The 10 ml version is available at €3.90 and therefore offers as much liquid in a small vial. It accommodates different nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16 mg/ml. A wide range designed to meet all needs. It is assembled on a 70/30 PG/VG base, the old-fashioned way. At a minimum, the fluidity of the liquid will therefore allow it to sit in the many beginners' pods.

The large version therefore offers 50 ml of overdosed aroma in a bottle that can contain 70. It will therefore be enough to add a nicotine booster to obtain 60 ml in 3 mg/ml or two boosters to obtain 70 ml in 6 mg/ml. This addition will be greatly facilitated by a clever tilting dropper which is also very fine, ideal for filling all tanks, including the most refractory. This version is aimed more at experienced users because it is based on a 50/50 PG/VG base, perfect for all tanks and facilitating aromatic precision while guaranteeing notable vapor volume and texture. The price is €9.90 for the large format.

€3.90 for 10 ml, €9.90 for 50 ml, these are friendly prices that will delight consumers. Especially since it is not on the flavors that the brand has cut back to do this.

An interesting range in more than one way that we are working to analyze. We hope to have the same pleasure with this TE-4 as with the previous references!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It is not this chapter that will contradict us. Taffe-elec has made security, legality and transparency its three horsemen of the apocalypse. And it’s a success! You will tell me that a rider is missing, I will tell you that we have already talked about it: it is called “tariff”!

The brand even specifies the presence of alcohol in the aromatic mix. Nothing unusual, some aromas contain it naturally.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Do the graphic design of the label and the name of the product agree? Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

You can't change packaging that works! This is indeed the case with a label on a cream background or tobacco leaves and sweets seem to twirl like in October. A design that hits the mark every time, at the same time sober and almost naive but which has the elegance of not pulling the cover on itself.

Another very appreciable quality: no need to use a magnifying glass, a microscope or any optical device whatsoever, the information is readable with the naked eye. Black on a light background, you had to think about that. Not everyone does it!

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The Classic TE-4 welcomes us with a very intense tobacco whose flavor is reminiscent of liquids based on macerates. An authentic tobacco, very full, which is defined as rather blond and which seems to mix a yellow and quite sunny Virginia with a more powerful and colorful Burley. Power, hit and even the throat sensation typical of natural flavors, which it is not. A great success.

Especially since it allows itself to avoid any excess harshness by combining it with a rather dark caramel, like homemade, which will “polish” the rough edges inherent in the tobacco without however overly sweetening it.

The tasting is very pleasant, to say the least, and invites you to continue over long sessions. The responsibility lies with a very balanced recipe, a decidedly common point between all the liquids in the range to date. We are never in excess but always in good taste, that which is just and which requires millimetric attention to exist.

A gourmet tobacco following the traditional meaning of the term, which above all gives pride of place to Nicot grass but with the little extra that cuddles the taste buds.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

  • 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

In the same way that the three musketeers were four, it seems that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are five! The latest offspring is called “saveur” and it honors the homogeneity of the range.

The Classic TE-4 can carry around an obscure name, it doesn't matter, it has everything else to please. Excellent taste, a modest price, nothing prohibitive to jump on. Top Vapelier, well, it's almost becoming a habit... I'm going to end up using up my quota and getting yelled at!
