Comments on the packaging
Curieux's Edition 1900 range continues to be enriched with new flavors. These e-liquids are built on a 100/100 vegetable base, since Curieux has chosen to use Vegetol and not propylene glycol. Vegetol is a non-irritating substitute for PG, and healthier to vape. It does not influence the viscosity of the e-liquid, it remains balanced and compatible with the majority of resistances on the market. These e-liquids are offered for people with intolerance or even allergic to PG, or simply looking for a healthier vape.
The 1900 Edition range combines two fruity flavors. This edition is inspired by Art Nouveau born in the 1900s and emblematic works of Alphonse Mucha. These illustrations have been drawn entirely by hand. Today we are interested in a curious and surprising association: Apple Cucumber. Combining a fruit and a vegetable is common in cooking but quite rare in vaping.
This e-liquid is superboosted in aromas. The vials contain 50ml of liquid but are made to hold 70ml. It will therefore be necessary to enrich the liquid either with nicotine or with a base to obtain the taste imagined by the manufacturer. Pomme Concombre is therefore mounted on a Vegetol / VG ratio of 40/60. Its nicotine level is zero and Curieux advises to use boosters without PG. This apple Cucumber is sold at a price of 24.9 €.
You will find this liquid in different packaging depending on your addiction. 10ml vials with nicotine levels of 3, 6, 12 and even 16 mg / ml. It is also available in 50ml and for fanatics, in beautiful 200ml collector bottles. But there, it stings a little… 74.9 €. But hey… the bottle is pretty.

Comments on the packaging
Who says new liquid, says new muse in the Range Edition 1900. Always drawn by hand, the visuals of this range are particularly neat. They refer to the early 1900s and the works of Mucha. The design and the materials used for the packaging are studied and very careful. The box, first of all, is made of rigid cardboard. The visual is matt but the inscriptions are underlined with shiny paper. Everything is in the detail and the finesse. This packaging is gentle on the eyes and very classy.
This does not prevent the manufacturer from giving us all the useful and mandatory information. Of course the fruits used (apple / cucumber) are in the foreground. The manufacturer's badge and the name of the range blend into the decor. At the bottom, you will find the capacity, the nicotine level and the Vegetol / VG ratio.
On the sides, in several languages, the manufacturer has taken care to indicate warnings and the composition of the liquid.Finally, you will also find the contact details of the manufacturer, the batch number as well as the optimal expiration date.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
As its name suggests, Apple Cucumber combines flavors of apple and cucumber. At the olfactory level, the apple is predominant. However, I can smell all the aromas of the water vegetable in the base note. The smells mix very well.
I test this liquid on the Alliancetech Flave 22 dripper, 35W power and almost closed airflow. I think there are several apples used. We find the acidity of Grannysmith and the sweet side of Gala. The apple is clearly felt. The cucumber brings the refreshing and green, slightly bitter side of the recipe. It is a water vegetable that helps bind the flavors and reduce the harshness of the apple. A slight sensation of freshness accompanies the vape from start to finish. It's very nice.
The flavors are homogeneous and combine very well. It is a very worked and sought after liquid. For me, the recipe works. The hit felt in the mouth is average. The vapor is dense and fragrant.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Apple Cucumber is a summer juice par excellence. Refreshing, tasty, original, it can become a seasonal allday. The aromatic power is correct and allows you to adjust the airflow and the power of your material as you wish.
I tested it on Geekvape's Zeus RTA, and even with significant ventilation, the flavor remains appreciable. This liquid can be used on any material.
Be careful, however, of certain resistances which do not support excessively fatty liquids. Pomme Cucumber will brighten up your afternoons, until the hot summer evenings.

My mood ticket on this juice
As I said above, Apple Cucumber is an excellent summer juice! Refreshing and tasty without being too sweet, it gives you a pleasant thirst.
This recipe is researched, neat from start to finish. And the combination of cucumber and apple works very well. The Vapelier grants a Topjus to this summer liquid!
