With good compliance with mandatory European regulations and strict controls, you can consider these liquids safe.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

A "very good" mention deserved for this regulatory information respected in its entirety as well as the safety compliance of the vial. Let's add the presence of a DLUO and 1 batch number to further complete the picture.

However, I must point out that although present in the ingredients, the level of PG / VG does not appear clearly, and that the bottle is not treated against UV (the label nevertheless covers a large area, which makes my remark less relevant suddenly). It is not certain that the visible surface of the circular pictograms, are it, conforms to the official prescriptions, I nitpick, but it is also for that that I am not paid.

Other manufacturers should be as virtuous as Clope-Trotter when it comes to labeling, soon their economic survival will be at stake.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

On the vial, the label is split into 2 distinct parts arranged half and half, forming for one, the regulatory part and for the other the marketing aspect.

A background representing the quay of the port of Curaçao and its typical colored buildings, could not better correspond to the name of this juice. The aesthetic research is not extensive but simply realistic.

Inscribed on the photo, you can read from top to bottom, the name of the range, the name of the juice, the aromatic compounds and finally the logo of the brand, all using no less than 4 different lettering. It is in itself quite sufficient to advertise an e-liquid, imagine the price of the vial if Clope Trotter had called on P. Stark for the sake of artistic originality….

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
  • Definition of odor: Fruity, Lemon, Citrus, Menthol
  • Definition of flavor: Sweet, Fruit, Lemon, Citrus, Menthol

  • This liquid reminds me: not precisely other juices, it must certainly hold more from my memory than from reality, I begin to have vaped an impressive quantity of different juices, from there to memorize them all, it's mission impossible. 

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

The smell of this blend is reminiscent of the citrus mixture announced on the vial: lemon orange yuzu. The taste is also telling, and we finally discover mint, or at least its fresh effect. The tangy note that one might expect if it is noticeable on the palate is not overly strong. Like sugar, which rounds and calms the acidity without excess, the mint has been added discreetly without altering the citrus flavors.

In vaping, Curaçao reveals a good power, orange and lemon are the most noticeable aromas, the menthol flavor enhancer, does not disturb the generous fruity feeling of the mixture. The length in the mouth is worthy of a complex blend dosed at the right rate.

I am pleasantly surprised by the taste quality of Curaçao and its amplitude, it is undeniably a premium, very precisely proportioned, whose general flavor contains more depth than that of the other juices in the range. The 6mg hit is light and the vapor normal for a 60/40 base.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 25 W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Royal Hubter mini (dripper)
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.65
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel 

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Tested on the Royal Hunter mini at 0,7 ohm and between 20 and 25W, Curaçao expresses its full potential. Heating it does not bring anything better, like its fruity colleagues it is preferable to vape it at normal powers, for a lukewarm / cold vape more in the fresh spirit of this juice. Its fluidity allows you all the atos of the market and there is no need to mount a low resistance to appreciate it. Tight vape can involve a bit hotter vape that doesn't really suit her. Its taste power therefore allows you to have atos deemed airy, the concentration of tastes is a little more diluted but the result is always very good, because the dosage of Clope Trotter aromas is perfect.

It deposits very moderately residual on the coil, which allows the prolonged use of proprietary resistors that are difficult or impossible to rebuild. This Curacao is an ideal candidate to try the experience of fresh fruit.

Recommended Moments

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.41 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Here is therefore a juice which denotes in this Les Alizés range, by its frankness of the restored tastes, its power, and this successful balance between flavors and freshness. You will have to remember it for next summer, unless you want to prolong the summer sensations this winter, why not.

Clope Trotter is a very good juice of its kind, a premium at the price of an entry level, that should do the trick of gourmets, and deserves to be discovered. Considering its manufacturing quality, its very honorable packaging and its price, I do not hesitate to advise you to try it.

However, it is not intended for cloud lovers, just look at its VG rate, on the other hand, it is part of the dedicated flavor juices, which rivals the much more expensive blends of some premiums.

Congratulations to this young team for this preparation, certainly the most accomplished of the range, in any case for me, the best of very far.
