Comments on the packaging
Prepare your “sub-ohm” equipment because I am going to evaluate a juice from the Big Bang Juices range from Kapalina for you. Foggy weather forecast.
Max VG is advertised on the vial of my Doo Peach, the copy received being in 20/80 PG / VG. The base is full vegetable glycerin, the difference with the announced ratio being the PG content for aroma urination. Beautiful transparency of Kapalina since other manufacturers do not hesitate to communicate on 100% VG ...
I like this new trend of Unicorn 30ml bottle which, like all fans of the vape in dripper, suits me well. I will spare you this time the evocation of the texts of the TPD to take full advantage of this conditioning.
The nicotine levels are: 0, 3 & 6 mg / ml for the max VG of this test; completely consistent dosages for the high potency direct inhaling use we are going to make of this juice.
In order to meet the demands of users of “wiser” materials, the manufacturer also offers this potion in 40/60 with more nicotine levels available, ranging from 0 to 18 through 3, 6, 9 & 12 mg / ml.
The price of 17,50 € the 30 ml categorizes this e-liquid among the entry-level.
My only complaint at this stage is a rather small writing about the name, the coordinates of the lab and the list of ingredients contained.

Everything is present in terms of mentions and other legal pictograms.
The flavors are certified without diacetyl, alcohol, paraben, sugar, ambrox or dyes.
Distilled water is also not mentioned in the recipe manufacturing process.
The only downside, which does not affect the notation and which I raised in the previous chapter, concerns a somewhat small font for certain information.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
5 / 5!
It's completely silly but the packaging leaves me to think that this juice must be good and delicious. It's silly, I admit it and it reminds me of those I call “label drinkers” when it comes to the wine industry. But if this visual gives me this effect, it is because it has been skilfully studied by its creators… and that I must not be the only victim of this power of attraction.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
At the first opening, I dreaded a little recipe with taste and chemical aromas well put forward; the donut is not really an example of dietetics or naturalness.
But no. The impression is fruity and delicious, this pastry does not even seem overly sweet to me.
In the vape it's just as clear. The description is perfectly restored and the blend of donut, peach and apricot allows the Doo Peach to be perfectly balanced. Not one flavor covers the other, giving us the benefit of a recipe that I personally find addicting and perfectly mastered.
On inspiration and first impression in the mouth, this peach / apricot mix will win the day. The donut came in second. The latter will recover the pole at the expiration.
The sweet impression is precisely measured, the recipe is never sickening. I do not find any heaviness yet present in this type of American recipe. Here, even if the VG ratio is important, we are well in the finesse and a perfect restitution of aromas. I even come to prefer the donut Kapalina version to the one bathed in its fat and resulting from the industrial food industry.
The hit, even in 3 is present. I had the opportunity to vape the Doo Peach 6 mg / ml and found it too potent for my liking.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I am not going to talk about the 40/60 which I have not tested but which I imagine usable on the majority of devices sold on the market.
So let's stay focused on this max VG.
Of course, I found an aerial vape and a dripper ideal. Under these conditions of somewhat low resistance (0,35Ω and 50w) with watts, a cold / warm vapor RDA is the ideal set-up.
However, it should be noted that on a tank atomizer, flavor oriented, like the Bellus which also served me for this evaluation, the results are just as convincing.
The aromas are transcribed with the same precision, only the aromatic power of the juice will be a little lessened.
I was not the victim of a dry hit at 0,47Ω and 32W on the ato of UD mounted in Koh Gen Do but I nevertheless advise to pay the same vigilance as usually devoted to the juice with a high percentage of vegetable glycerin.

My mood ticket on this juice
Here is a good Frenchy juice from our Lille Kapalina. Typed “Ricain” in its approach, it is a recipe from French vaping that I tasted.
At 1 / 100th of the “Top Juice” ranking, it is de facto a title that I attribute to it, this hundredth of a point being lost only by the slightly small writing concerning the name, the coordinates of the lab and the list of ingredients contained .
This evaluation was not a discovery because I must admit that I had already personally acquired the Doo Peach as soon as it was marketed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Greg, owner of one of my favorite shops and close to where I live, for making me discover it.
Afterwards, it was by chance that this evaluation was attributed to me, but I might as well tell you that I was delighted.
I have already had the opportunity to taste and evaluate the work done by Sébastien, the brand's flavor specialist, and I recognize that once again I am won over by one of his creations.
I know that Kapalina released a new recipe at the start of the summer (the Kola Gla Gla) and that new products will be coming out of the drawers very soon… I can't wait to taste them.
See you soon for new hazy adventure,
Marquolive
