Comments on the packaging
2021 was a great year in terms of discoveries in the vape, it will have at least been used for that 🙄 and Mixup Labs was an excellent one. The Basque manufacturer wowed us all in the team with its Chubbiz Gourmand range, while waiting to test the other categories of a brand that has more than one string to its harp.
We are therefore continuing this exploration with the Almond Drive me Nuts, the third in a Drive Me Nuts mini-series whose peanut and hazelnut versions have delighted my palate! I therefore longed to know if the almond version would be of the same level of excellence, while waiting for the coconut version that as a good gourmet I save myself for hunger, sorry the end.
We therefore find a large ready-to-boost format of 50 ml that it will be easy to extend by 10 or 20 ml of nicotine base or not to obtain 60 or 70 ml of ready-to-vape, between 0 and approximately 6 mg/ml of nicotine .
The PG/VG ratio is 50/50, a very balanced ratio between the strength of the flavors and the volume of vapor. It should be noted that we are here on a 100% vegetable basis since propylene glycol is also of vegetable origin and not petrochemical. It's always a win for better health.
The price of 19.90 € is in the low average of the category, good news for gourmets!
Come on zou, let's go to the tasting! Honeyeeeeee, where did you put my bottle opener?

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The packaging is available in this Drive me Nuts mini-series but is not alike. We always have a beautiful illustration on glossy paper, it's pretty, traditional and quite classy! Moreover, it is done to perfection.
The many annotations and pictograms stand out wonderfully in white on a black background, enough to help the more mirauds of which I am a part to do without a magnifying glass to read the warnings. There are a bit fed up with light yellow characters on a beige background… don't laugh, it's real life!
I notice that, unlike most competitors, a wide slit is left between the two edges of the label in order to always perfectly visualize the remaining content. It sounds trivial but we all know how e..erdant it is when it's not, right?

Comments on the taste of the juice
The first two Drive Me Nuts tested blew me away with their delicacy but also with the sharpness and precision of their flavors.
Nothing changes here, we are on familiar ground and the vanilla base remains the same, very worked to offer a superb balance between greed and wisdom. Creamy as you wish but with a reasonable amount of sugar, it marvelously supports a dash of flower honey, light and subtle, which will spoil the vanilla while serving as a throne for our star nut, the almond.
This one is precise and takes on its full dimension to add a frangipane touch to the whole.
The recipe is vape with a great appetite, it is successful, cut to the line and largely takes its place in the siblings of the nuts of the band.
Probably less obvious, less dense all the same than the very tasty peanut version or the super gourmet hazelnut version, the almond still pulls the chestnuts out of the fire, if I dare say. It is certainly not the strongest nut in flavor but the combination with honey has everything of a learned pastry very developed.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Perfect with a not too sweet coffee, Drive Me Nuts Almond can also accompany a host of desserts, such as a simple vanilla ice cream, or a brownie, until thirsty.
It will also be effective solo, never being sickening. Its viscosity will allow it to sit in any type of atomizer even if its strong aromatic power will prove more at ease in DL or RDL devices with a good draft.

My mood ticket on this juice
Mixup Labs imposes itself head and shoulders as a formidable gourmet maker, for our greatest pleasure! And the Drive Me Nuts series is the perfect example.
The almond version is delicate, the honey subtle and the vanilla cream is a bomb. In short, the recipe holds up and it was not easy with the inherently blandest nut. Even if it proves to be very slightly inferior to its hazelnut and peanut colleagues, this juice is recommended for all unrepentant gourmets and even wiser gourmets.
A good surprise. Again !
