Comments on the packaging

Today, it is the Roykin house of Alfortville to make its appearance in the Vapelier reviews. A well-known, serious manufacturer whose many collections are based on simple themes and, in general, quite fun.

We are going to start the ball rolling with the “Legend” range, a range focused on tobacco in all its forms and with a first reference taken at random (I stirred in my hat), I named: “El Comandante”. Let's face it, it already smells like tobacco like a chair bar!

The packaging lives up to the name of the range and presents very well. In 30ml for the moment, El Comandante is available in 0, 6, 11, 16 and 19mg / ml of nicotine, which gives a wide range for any vaper, beginner or not, to find it. The base used obeys a PG / VG ratio of 60/40, deemed to be the healthiest and already guarantees its compatibility with any evaporation system.

The informative mentions are in the standards and everything seems to be taking shape for the best. However, I must point out that the products in this range do not have a tamper-evident or first-use seal, as you please. It is a damaging breach of the credibility of the product that brings us back to the prehistory of the vape. A simple plastic cap was enough, however. 

On the other hand, this will be the only fault, I warn you in advance, but it will inevitably hit the final note.

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

All the more unfortunate indeed that for the rest, Roykin behaves as an excellent student and gives voice in all tones to comply with the standards in force and ensures a very good security service.

The regulatory fanfare is there, nobody is missing. Not a logo, not a warning. It's perfect. Sometimes at the limit of visibility for those who, like me, have swapped their eagle gaze for a mole gaze. But it can be read without having to take out the magnifying glass, as I have already done in other brands.

We notice the presence of a batch number supported by an optimal use-by date. It's perfect!

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

A very traditional transparent glass bottle, this is nothing new. But the presence of a label nicely cut out in a cigar ring (a circle surrounded by two rectangular plates) comes to enhance the whole and give a feeling of class to the whole.

The mentions of the product, the range and the manufacturer are printed in shiny silver, creating an effect of inclusion and the entire label is encircled by a thread of the same color and all on a black background please . This undeniably puts the product as an elegant object, for a gentleman or a lady, a minimal potion for vaping in luxury.

This for an entry-level fare, I can only applaud Roykin.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Let's be frank, we are among ourselves, El Comandante is aimed above all at cigar lovers.

Indeed, we immediately find a powerful load of deep and dark tobacco with a heavy hit, precisely tinted with a few spices, such as cloves, to accentuate the line. It's good, realistic and fans of this type of tobacco will be in heaven.

But, behind the harshness of the tobacco which sometimes conveys a few cocoa curls certainly inherent in the aroma itself, we find the sweetness of a vanilla twist, more feminine for once, which wonderfully softens the instant in the transforming into greedy tobacco, a bit old-fashioned, but still terribly effective.

A good juice, well put in recipe, in perfect balance between power and grace. And above all, an e-liquid that you can vape as much as you want because it is never disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

It is a tobacco and, in addition, in 60/40. This shows the freedom you will have to spin it around in any atomizer. Power doesn't scare him, neither does heat. So, indulge yourself by opening the windows if you don't want to see bobonne reappearing by shouting “Chériiiiiiiiiiii, you have resumed smoking ??????????”.

My mood ticket on this juice

An excellent first contact with the “Legend” range with El Comandante who presents himself as a barbudo in khaki but which would be better for these gentlemen of Rotary. And all this for the price of a basic strawberry whipped cream e-liquid! Isn't life beautiful ???

We will still remember, behind a sumptuous appearance, a subtle, complex and powerful taste and an almost perfect security chapter, the absence of a first opening protection which alters the final note which could have allowed it to access the level it deserves.

Strongly following, all the same!
