Comments on the taste of the juice
The Coco & Cream liquid is a gourmet type juice with flavors of praline almond, light wafer and coconut pulp.
When I open the bottle, I identify very well the gourmet flavors of the almond as well as the pastry notes from the wafer. The coconut pulp appears but much more discreetly.
The liquid has a good aromatic power, I get excellent sweet almond-type almond flavors in the mouth. The nut is then delicately enveloped by the praline revealed by the subtle gustatory notes of hazelnut that it develops.
The wafer then appears, light but present. A wafer reminiscent of the taste of certain dry biscuits which carefully accompanies the almond and the praline.
The whole is then softened by the subtle notes of coconut whose sweet and light flavors are expressed especially at the end of the tasting. These last taste touches reinforce the gourmet aspect of the composition and last a short time in the mouth.
A gourmet e-liquid but with contained lightness. Something to fall in love with!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Coco & Cream liquid has a balanced PG / VG ratio of 50/50, a liquid that will be suitable for most equipment and in particular pods.
The juice is soft and light, a limited draw will be ideal in order to preserve the balance of flavors, especially those of wafer and coconut which are more discreet.
Coco & Cream is a gourmet juice, a lukewarm/hot temperature will be perfectly suited to its use.

My mood ticket on this juice
On balance, we have here an excellent gourmet liquid but full of elegant sobriety. The taste balance is very well thought out and the result can be tasted at will, without ever overloading the taste buds. Another success to be credited to Alfaliquid.
A "Top Vapelier" for a sweet addictive treat!
