Comments on the packaging

We continue our exploration of the cabinet of curiosities of the alchemist Fuu with the Curculio.

Like its fellow insectious members of the same family, Curculio is a greedy on the basis of custard. By declining this category under several recipes, the manufacturer has taken a risk by betting on a range that combines only vanilla cream. No fruity fresh here, no pure tobacco, no more cocktail based on anise or mint, we are in the world of creamy. For the delight of gourmands.

The Curculio is therefore a beetle, a kind of weevil that feeds on plants. To our great satisfaction, Fuu spares us here any insect-based juice to offer us a fruity variation on custard.

The packaging is perfect. All the informative mentions are aligned in good order and in good legibility with a special mention for the very dark cobalt blue glass bottle, conducive to slowing down the decomposition of the e-liquid under the action of UV.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

We are here in a sort of Everest of safety. Because not content to align all the legal obligations one by one, the manufacturer has renewed all the recipes for the range in order to significantly reduce the proportion of elements potentially endangered by health. It is a rare enough fact to be noticed. Studies follow one another and the biggest brands adapt their production to go towards an increasingly safe vape. One word: thank you!

The liquid contains water to make it more fluid and therefore compatible with all possible atomizers. Some will see a less. Me, I see a plus. When a juice is good, as much as it can be vaporized by as many people as possible.

Comments on the packaging

The Curiosius Curiositas arrives in a packaging of 15ml, which is far too little, this kind of juice should be available in one or two liters minimum.

The aesthetic follows the logic of the range with our weevil friend stylized on a white label reminiscent of the paintings of insects that cruel children liked to pin down. As I have no kind of friendship for animals with more than four legs, I am therefore delighted and take this opportunity to admire the concept of the range through a special aesthetic but which is interesting and well done.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Divine is the word that comes to your mouth at the same time as the first puff of steam. A haven of sweetness and typical and perfectly matched flavors.

We take in the mouth the greenness of a mango known as “Alphonso” which is therefore, I hear it with you, a mango originating in India, banned from marketing in Europe as a fruit. This mango, and here I am speaking to you about my feelings, is exceptional. A little green, a lot of flavor, a taste texture very different from the mango that we usually eat. It is the total foot especially that is superimposed on it a very fleshy coconut which really recalls the fruit. The custard is content to give a creamy texture to the whole and to level out the acidity temptations that could have arisen here and there. The vanilla is present, but in ambush, well behind to make way for the explosion of sweetness that the two fruits generate together.

A tropical success of originality and mastery.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

A delightful taste to be consumed warm. The fruity aspect does not like too hot temperatures, the gourmet aspect does not like too cool temperatures. Prefer an assembly between 1 and 1.5Ω and a power between 15 and 20W to capture what makes the interest of this juice: its flavor.

Any atomizer is possible because the liquid remains fluid. The aromatic power is substantial and only asking to be vaporized to seduce.

To try with a hot chocolate ...

My mood ticket on this juice

The Curculio is a rare e-liquid. With incredible sweetness, its taste is enchanting, a learned tropical blend using realistic or original fruits for a thick finish on the palate, never disgusting and easily accommodating with any form of vape.

The whole is subtly “greedy” by the custard who weaves a welcome carpet of smoothness to serve as tatami mats for the fraternal struggle of the two main protagonists.

In short: ESSENTIAL! For gourmets of all stripes and lovers of unfamiliar flavors. A must also for fruit lovers who will long remember this Indian mango and the veracity of the coconut.

A Top that I grant for its seductive sweetness!
