Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Mixup Labs is serious and proves it to us by putting all the legal and safety data in force on the bottle label.
The list of ingredients is displayed and mentions the presence of vegetable propylene glycol (PGV) in the composition of the recipe, the PGV comes from organic, vegetable and 100% natural raw materials. It is recommended for people who do not support traditional propylene glycol. Also called MPGV, for Mono Propylene Glycol Vegetable, it has the same properties as PG, it restores flavors well, accentuates the effects of nicotine while being softer for the throat.
The origin of the product is visible with also information relating to precautions for use and storage.

Comments on the packaging
The design of the bottle label is perfectly in tune with the flavors of the liquid thanks to the illustrations on it.
All the data on the label is clear and easily readable, the label has a smooth and shiny finish well done.
To quibble a little, I would have preferred an unscrewable tip instead of the whole tip that unclips for adding base or booster, however I must admit that the maneuver is quite easy with the appropriate tool, you just have to avoid using pliers so as not to crush the tip.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The Coffee Time liquid is a gourmet type juice with flavors of coffee, biscuit, hazelnut and caramel, a good treat in anticipation!
When I open the bottle, I perceive very well the flavors of coffee with its sweet notes, I also feel, but more weakly, hints of hazelnuts as well as the pastry notes of the biscuit, the smell is sweet and pleasant.
The aromatic power of Coffee Time is generous, I really feel the flavors of coffee and biscuit in the mouth. These two flavors predominate and are evenly distributed in the recipe. The coffee is very soft and very sweet, the biscuit seems to me to be dissolved in the drink, a shortbread type biscuit whose taste is faithful.
At the end of the tasting, I get subtle notes of slightly caramelized hazelnut in the mouth which give a praline-like taste to the beverage and which soften the whole and reinforce the gourmet aspect of the composition.
The liquid is very soft, its taste is very pleasant.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I opted for the maximum power recommended by the manufacturer for my vape configuration in order to compensate for the softness and lightness of the juice.
The liquid is thick and has a high rate of VG, so you will have to adapt your equipment accordingly, any type of configuration accepting the PG/VG ratio of 30/70 will therefore be perfect.
Regarding the draw, I think that a restricted type of draw will be more appropriate in order to fully savor the recipe with all its subtleties, indeed an open draw makes me lose a little of the praline notes that I perceive at the end of the tasting.

My mood ticket on this juice
Coffee Time is a very soft and light gourmet liquid whose tasting is not disgusting, quite the contrary! The taste renderings are realistic and addictive.
The “praline” notes felt at the end of the tasting delicately soften the subtle bitterness of the coffee and slightly accentuate the gourmet aspect of the composition.
The Coffee Time displays a score of 4,59 within the Vapelier, a well-deserved score because we have a very good liquid, really greedy and successful!
