Comments on the packaging
Cocoon is manufactured by the Italian laboratory Flavor Art, it is one of the many e-liquids offered in this packaging of 10ml.
The bottle is transparent plastic semi-rigid, however the pressure is not completely flexible, it will have to strengthen his little fingers.
The classification of this liquid would certainly be in the greedy, but a fruity gourmand for this Cocoon which is not very expensive. The cap has the seal of tamper and opens easily by simultaneously pinching the edges to ensure child safety.
The nicotine dosages offered for this product are in 0mg / ml, 4.5mg / ml, 9mg / ml and 18mg / ml. My bottle for this test is in 4.5mg / ml, but this aroma also exists in non-nicotine concentrate.
This juice, like all those in the range, is proportioned to 50/40 PG / VG the remaining 10% is shared between the aromas, distilled water and any nicotine.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Although this product is Italian the labeling is in French. The ingredients are well noted by specifying that this e-liquid is composed of distilled water and the aromas contain natural scents, all created by scientists specializing in biochemistry, without the addition of alcohol, essential oils or sugar. Labeling also provides the name and contact information of the laboratory along with the distributor's name, as well as a phone number for consumers if necessary. The pictogram of dangerousness is widely visible and one feels perfectly, while passing the finger, the relief marking intended for the visually impaired persons. The usual precautions are indicated with some recommendations.
We can clearly see a blue box in which the batch number and the best before date are noted. The words “sale prohibited to minors” is clearly visible in red, however, we note the absence of this pictogram like that for pregnant women, information already stipulated in writing, but made compulsory from 2017 in their symbolic form.
The product name and the manufacturer's name are also provided.

Comments on the packaging
The packaging is not really extravagant, but correctly elaborated with codes. It is divided into two equitably shared parts
A first graphic plan highlights the name of the laboratory, partly underlined by two bands of color on both sides, to signify the nicotine level which is also inscribed (green in 0mg / ml, light blue in 4.5mg / ml dark blue 9mg / ml and red for 18mg / ml). Then we see the name of the liquid placed on a background of color proper to his taste. Finally at the bottom, we find the capacity of the bottle and the destination of the product (for electronic cigarettes).
The other side of the label is purely dedicated to inscriptions: indicating the precautions for use, listing the ingredients, the various dosages, the contactable services and the largely dominant danger pictogram.
An almost ideal packaging given the small size.

Comments on the taste of the juice
As soon as I open this bottle I have a first smell of freshly bitten apple, then something that looks a bit like popcorn.
When I drink, I have something rounder, more greedy than the fruit, it is a caramelized taste, mixed with a juicy red apple with the impression that it is crunchy. It's certainly one of the best made apples I've ever tasted so far. The caramel is light and not very sweet. This set gives off a carnival smell, but the comparison stops there. The juice is rather well reconstituted but lacks character and consistency. It does not hold in the mouth with flavors that evaporate very quickly. In addition, depending on the temperature at which you will vape, the taste will certainly not be the same.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Cocoon remains discreet, too discreet for a greedy who only vape at very low powers. The apple is fragile and its flavor disappears totally if you are sub-ohm. If you are between 20 and 26W is sufficient because beyond, the liquid denatures a little with a caramel more present but an apple almost nonexistent.
the hit is consistent with the rate of 4.5 mg / ml displayed on the bottle with a correct vapor which roughly corresponds to a base liquid in 55/45 PG / VG.

My mood ticket on this juice
Cocoon is the reproduction of a love apple, a gourmet and fruity dessert that has not conquered me. Yet the apple is perfectly done but it is an aroma that remains fragile and can not stand being too heated. The caramel is on the contrary rather discreet on weak powers, asserts itself by heating the coil. It is therefore essential to find the right compromise to savor your apple of love.
However, I do not detect any parasitic taste on this liquid, we like it or not, the flavors are discreet, perhaps too much and its hold in the mouth is almost non-existent, the aromas are perceived at the time of inspiration and of the expiration. What is certain is that this Cocoon is fine, discreet and does not disgust, so it can be vaped all day.
