Comments on the packaging

The ten vials of this range are offered in transparent 10ml glass, Alfaliquid anticipates the new regulation on the capacity of nicotine liquids.

Alfasiempre takes up the tobacco flavor standards of past production by adding two new products. These 50/50 premiums are available at 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16 mg / ml of nicotine.

Perfectly packaged, they are sold at the recommended price of 6,90 €, which places them in the low range of medium range juices. Alfaliquid now declines all its premium tobacco sellers in premium quality for demanding vapers.

Fr-Mint is no stranger to the followers of this brand, it is supposed to combine a blond tobacco and a fresh spearmint flavor, let's dissect together the various aspects of this product and see what is the proposal .

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

As usual, the brand of excellence of the vape did not miss the regulatory information to be on the label, it is a faultless very well presented.

The packaging also has all the security for the moment recommended, but not yet mandatory. A lot number and a DLUO are written on the glass of the bottom of the vial in white and almost unalterable.

A small detail, however, darkens the picture, because this glass vial lets through UV rays that can quickly alter the taste of the juice. You will therefore be careful to preserve the vial of the sun yourself.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

For a range dedicated to tobacco flavors, Alfaliquid has ensured the marketing component with this perfectly worked label.

Che, cigar lover, appears on each flask medallion at the top. Then comes the name of the range in two parts and two different graphics. On either side of this name, you will read distinctly the proportion of the base used. Inspired by the rings surrounding cigars, the designers have managed to include all the important elements we need to not confuse our vials and ensure we have the right rate of nicotine. Thus, in the lower part and detached from the central drawing you will know the name of the juice, the capacity of the vial and the nicotine level. Let's just add that each ribbon at the bottom of the vials, is distinguished from others by its specific background color.

Here again, this highly professional and artistically successful attribute of etiquette demonstrates how rigorously and quality Alfaliquid presents its products.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

At the opening we find a mint, the one used to prepare tea. Back a tobacco scent is refined for the form, it is perceived but it remains well in withdrawal.

The taste reveals much more mint than tobacco, it is slightly sweet and the presence of menthol refreshes the throat. The whole is quite powerful, tobacco however, disappears quickly at the end of the mouth.

The Royal Hunter mini, will be used for this test. At the first puff I perceive the assembly, which is always defined more like a mint with a hint of tobacco than the opposite. The second and third puffs are from the same vein, blond tobacco is present at the beginning of aspiration and nasal expiration, and fades rapidly.

After a few more draws, more or less tight, now that the already light flavor of tobacco has disappeared, it will not come back anymore. I was able to warm up, adjust the AFC, mint has definitely taken over, for my perception, I specify because we are all different.

Although very pleasant to vape, this juice with powerful flavors, is of linear amplitude, long in the mouth, it refreshes, but does not represent enough in my opinion, the tobacco character of the range, the spearmint is the strongest .

Knowing that it probably took the team of flavourists, bumper aromas in this new base, it is likely that the tobacco option was simply underestimated for an efficient rendering and more in the spirit of the range, far from me the claim to criticize assembly work, I do not have the competence or intention, but this aroma seems really under-dosed.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

It is an 50 / 50, so it is suitable for all kinds of atomizers, it may even be more suited to narrow clears oriented flavor than drippers, if you want to favor the taste sensations without worrying steam production.

I can not really recommend which settings or what warmth this liquid will be best, you must adapt them to your taste.

Its transparency gives it a good aptitude for the complete vaporization, it does not deposit on the coils quickly, still an asset for him to devote a clearo.

My mood ticket on this juice

Test result .... Mixed. This liquid is good, lovers of mints will be thrilled, both authenticity and length in the mouth. To those who expect a tobacco in top note, I think they will understand that this juice is not the most appropriate of the range.

Let's rest on a positive impression because, apart from this little disappointment, I can assure you that I finished the bottle with pleasure, the high quality base, the realistic aromas, and the strong power of this Fr-Mint, are as many elements that outweigh a temporary frustration, after all, many of us vaping to free ourselves from tobacco.

Thank you for your patient reading

See you soon
