Comments on the packaging

There are happy marriages. That of Alfaliquid with Granita has already given a beautiful offspring. The union between the first French manufacturer of e-liquids and a giant of the food industry was a daring bet but it is clear that it was a movement, both taste and commercial, very promising. And, by the way, the vape finally came out from under the blanket that the media had “modestly” thrown over it.

In this range born under the best auspices, Alfaliquid today adds a Cola Granita Soft. 137 years after the discovery of Pemberton, here is a legendary beverage that enters the family. Cola, everyone knows that. There are some who love it, others who hate it, but the soft drink does not leave anyone indifferent, in all parts of the world. It therefore seemed relevant to make an e-liquid out of it.

This one comes to us in a 60 ml bottle carrying 50 ml of overdosed aroma. It will therefore be necessary to add 10 ml of booster or even neutral base to obtain 3 mg/ml of nicotine level in the first case and 0 in the second. It goes without saying that if you add 5 ml of booster and 5 ml of neutral base, you will easily obtain a liquid in 1.5 mg/ml of nicotine! All you have to do is shake it and let it sit for a few hours before placing it in your favorite atomizer or pod.

The recipe is mounted on a 50/50 PG/VG base, always very interesting in the sense that it will be easily accepted by all vaping devices and presenting an excellent compromise between sharpness of flavors and volume of vapor.

The price is set at €19.90, in the average market price. For the moment, there is no 10 ml format in sight but it is still possible in the near future. On the other hand, a concentrated version of 30 ml exists. At the time of writing these lines, the price has not yet leaked but I estimate its price between 13 and 14 €.

Well, all that remains is to embark on the discovery of this Cola Granita Soft.

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

Comments on the packaging

We find the DNA common to all the products in the range with the large display of the Granita logo, an image representing the American beverage and the mention of the name. Everything is beautifully staged with a very summery look reminiscent of the “Sea, sex and sun” dear to Gainsbourg!

This does not in any way prevent a great clarity of information. A sexy but wise look!

Comments on the taste of the juice

If you like Cola, and whatever name comes before it, you will love this liquid!

Just by the smell, it's very simple, it's like sitting at a table on the terrace of the beach bar. The typical soft drink smell emanates largely from the bottle dropper. It's time to take the first puff.

We find there everything that pleases in the American elixir. Citrus notes, light and intertwined, which explode on the tongue. The vegetality of the drink in all its aspects with the diaphanous touch of cinnamon on the finish and a subtle vanilla that coats the century-old mystery.

We believe it! The realism of Cola Granita Soft is stunning. All that's missing is the sparkling side of the bubbles, but I really don't see how it would have been possible to put them in a bottle!

The recipe in a state of grace finds its ideal partner in the presence of a marked freshness but which allows the aromas to express themselves freely. The sugar is present, the reference obliges, but is contained and its duo with the freshness only dynamites the tasting a little more.

In short, for cola lovers, it's a must-have!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

There are many possibilities to vape the Cola Granita Soft. In MTL, on a dedicated clearomiser or a pod cartridge, it becomes precise and concentrates all its flavours. In DL, it is loaded with freshness for a pleasurable moment of refreshing sensations. In any case, he is convincing.

To vape with a citrus sorbet, a straw hat on your head and your gaze nonchalantly resting on the horizon line in the distance in the ocean.

My mood ticket on this juice

When a liquid is bad, you have to know how to say it. When it's good, too. But when it's perfect, it's an easy exercise.

Cola liquids have been around since the origins of the vape. Most of them are most often close to the famous bottle-shaped brown confections of what you know. And that's not bad!

Few, however, come so close to the original drink. To the point that sometimes, it is even allowed to doubt! Do like me, vape this liquid and drink cola at the same time, you will have the demonstration of realism achieved which is here at its peak.

A rigorous, successful work, which deserves your attention and also a Top Vapelier!
