Comments on the packaging
The packaging of the Cool Berries is simple. Here, no particular fantasy. Just the essentials: information, the name of the brand and the reference.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The Cool Berries liquid offered by Nicovop is a fruity type juice with flavors of forest fruits.
When opening the bottle, the fruity scents are present but quite pastel. The smell is slightly round, evoking all the same the fruits concerned.
In terms of taste, the aromatic power of Cool Berries is rather contained and is better defined as being more suitable for beginners in the vape. We still find the fruits of the forest.
The flavors that stand out the most in the mouth are those of blackberry and blackcurrant, thanks in particular to their tangy note. There are also subtle juicy notes. The juice is very sweet, the fresh notes felt at the end of the tasting are well balanced. They are also sweet and seem to come from menthol rather than a refreshing additive (koolada, WS3…).
The overall lightness of the liquid allows it not to be disgusting in the long run, the homogeneity between the olfactory and taste sensations is perfect.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The liquid being relatively soft and light in aromatic power I chose a power of 42W to be able to fully appreciate all its taste nuances, the cotton used is Holy Fiber from home HOLY JUICE LAB.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Cool Berries is typical of a beginner's e-liquid. Honest and well assembled, it has a measured aromatic power that will be perfect for this type of audience.
The taste / freshness ratio has been well thought out and worked on. We are not dealing here with a killer taste bud but with a pleasant juice to vape, the recipe of which is mastered and will suit the first taste buds of first-time vapers.
This is rather good news since the price is very small. The quality / price ratio of the whole becoming therefore particularly interesting.
