Dinner Lady Vape Pen: Heavy Metal Puffs!

The Vapelier recalls that the products of the vape are intended for an audience of adult smokers in the context of smoking cessation assistance. Any sale to a minor public, any purchase by a minor or by an adult on behalf of a minor are prohibited by law. We advise parents to discuss with their children the addiction to nicotine that vaping devices can cause and to warn them of the dangers involved. Similarly, the public authorities have sole responsibility for enforcing the law in this area. In a nutshell: if you don't smoke, don't vape! 

Dinner Lady is an emblematic brand of the international vape galaxy. The well-known English manufacturer has solid references, both taste and commercial, in the creation of e-liquids. In particular with a Lemon Tart which, not content to have been one of the pioneers, still remains today a standard of good taste in the category.

It was therefore only a matter of time for the manufacturer from across the Channel to invest in the flourishing market of the puff, this disposable e-cigarette which, if it is not the best innovation, far from it. , in terms of ecology, has the advantages of being extremely easy to use in order to extend a saving hand to our smoking friends.

The brand has therefore put its generous catalog to work and offers us no less than ten flavors all badged Made In UK, which presents a novelty to report when 99% of competing puffs use Chinese liquid. Ten flavors for the French market out of thirteen existing in England. 


A quality finish!

The Vape Pen by Dinner lady is above all an aesthetic. Cylindrical in shape, which will not surprise anyone, we notice a very contained format with a height of 106 mm, a diameter of 10.5 mm and a weight of 25 g. The shape is therefore rather thin, ultimately quite close to an analog cigarette. It is ideal in grip and very natural in the mouth. We are surprised to reinvent the typical gesture, between the wedging between the middle finger and the index or the port "to the beak" well known to smokers.

Far from aping any attitude, this form factor has the advantage for the smoker of quickly finding themselves on familiar ground and of not being destabilized by the adoption of new practices.

The finish itself calls for no criticism. 

The body is made of 304 stainless steel, covered according to the chosen aroma with a very beautiful metallic paint, sealed at both ends by plastic caps. The top one, marked with the manufacturer's logo, has an opening to release the steam into the mouth and the bottom one houses a discreet LED that lights up when aspiration is detected. 

It is significant that, unlike many references, the manufacturer has chosen a delicate light signaling instead of the funfair animations usually in vogue in the category. We move away a little from flashy and manga objects likely to interest the youngest and we opt for a rational aesthetic and a little modesty welcome for the smoker. Cheer ! 


We therefore find a 350 mAh battery and a pre-filled reservoir of 1.5 ml of e-liquid dosed at 20 mg/ml of nicotine salts. Which seems sufficient for use over a day or so. The manufacturer announces about 400 puffs. Knowing that the result will depend above all on your aspirations, long or short, deep or light, and your personal consumption habits.

Unsurprisingly, the print is MTL, which seems consistent with the purpose of the object. The resistance displays a value of 1.6 Ω and the voltage output and the safety behavior of the device are controlled by an integrated circuit, so as to avoid any inconvenience. The cotton used as capillary is of organic origin and each flavor has been the subject of a very detailed safety sheet.

The power is contained, of course, and the development of flavors cannot reach the richness of more traditional equipment, but it is still sufficient. The hit is moderate, which is perfect for a beginner.

Seriousness is the dominant impression here. Dinner Lady seems to have perfectly understood the above all sanitary interest of this type of product and in no way risks its reputation by delivering a mature and safe product! The price generally observed of 4.90 € is very correct for a puff.

 


 

Made in UK flavours!

 

Blue Menthol

It starts well with a finer aroma than its name suggests.

It is a well-defined and sweet blueberry in a light bath of freshness.

The result is very pleasant, very soft and the discreet freshness does not interfere with the tasting.

We liked it! 4.5/5 4.5 5 out of stars

 

 


Bubblegum Ice

It is easy to recognize here the Malabar© of our childhood!

It's successful, very confectionery and the advertised freshness is contained. Very well thought out to avoid falling into caricature. 

It's good like the bubble gum that we put in the fridge to find the full of pep in the mouth! 

We liked it! 4.5/5 4.5 5 out of stars

 

 


Fresh Menthol

The surname does not lie.

We have a very characteristic peppermint and the freshness associated with it. Nothing more, nothing less ! 

The power is a little lacking to sublimate this aroma but, as it is, it is quite recommendable.

It's correct ! 4.1/5 4.1 5 out of stars

 


fruit-mix

The black grape dominates but it precedes a very accomplished fruity sarabande.

Red fruits give a great sweetness to the aroma and we guess an acidity linked to the delicate presence of a citrus fruit.

It is balanced, greedy and devoid of freshness. One of the excellent surprises of the range! 

Top! 4.7/5 4.7 5 out of stars

 

 


lemon tart

We find with pleasure the best-seller of the English brand. 

A realistic shortcrust pastry and a soft and sweet lemon cream cohabit for a credible rendering. It's excellent and faithful to the original liquid.

It is quite rare to vape greedy with a puff. So don't deprive yourself of it when it's successful like here! 

Top! 4.8/5 4.8 5 out of stars

 


mango ice cream

It's not cheating. We promise you an icy mango and that's exactly what you'll get.

The mango is successful, very precise and does not struggle to exist despite the fairly pronounced freshness.

A pleasant, fresh and fragrant moment, to watch the heat come.

We liked it! 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

 


Pink berry

An astonishing mix between a sweet orange and an assortment of forest fruits. 

It's very to the point and we appreciate the ingenious mix between the acidity and the sweetness of the berries.

The brand is off the beaten track and it pays off! No ice cream here, it's perfect!  

We liked it! 4.6/5 4.6 5 out of stars

 


Smooth Blend

A real success for the tobacco of the range.

We are in the presence of a rather soft and blond blend, finely sweetened with diffuse notes of caramel.

It is typical, very pleasant in the mouth and perfectly suited to a smoker. The tobacco is greedy, with great finesse and a nice balance. 

Top ! 4.7 / 5 4.7 5 out of stars

 


Strawberry ice cream

We could have hesitated knowing the fragility of the strawberry aroma to associate it with freshness. However, Dinner Lady is doing very well.

The strawberry is well restored, the freshness does exist but remains pleasant and does not cannibalize the star aroma.  

The result is a successful and addictive fresh fruity instant.

Not bad ! 4.3/5 4.3 5 out of stars

 


Strawberry Macaroon

It is without displeasure that we will vape this little gourmet pearl.

A very precise strawberry binds intimately with an almond paste for a very convincing whole. It's greedy, regressive and devoid of freshness for lovers of desserts.

A very good choice of pure indulgence! 

Top ! 4.7 / 5 4.7 5 out of stars

 

 


So, Metal or Plastic?

Metal without hesitation! 

Dinner Lady offers us a very coherent range of puffs and combines the power of its well-established catalog to finally give letters of nobility in terms of flavor to the category.

We are far from the usual Chinese wanderings in this area and we will see without much surprise that when a manufacturer of European e-liquids really plays the game, we appreciate the taste variety, the incomparable quality of the aromas and a presentation above of any suspicion! 

Well seen !

We liked:

  • The taste homogeneity of the range.
  • The number of aromatic categories covered.
  • The quality of the aromas.
  • A rewarding finish. 
  • The nicotine level and draw suitable for beginners.
  • Consistent pricing.

We regret:

  • A slight lack of power of the device.
