Comments on the packaging

Back on the Alfa Siempre range, the name of which borrows from the song composed for Che: ”Hasta Siempre”. A range all in tobacco, for all tastes, which brings us what Alfaliquid does best in its classic range while adding a 50/50 base more favorable in my opinion to today's vape, including for beginners. 

The FR-One is a known reference in the Alfaliquid catalog and moreover, it still exists in the standard 76 / 24 PG / VG ratio range. So here we have a more glycerine version and probably prompt to draw a little more steam.

The conditioning is a great feat. 10ml transparent glass bottle whose aesthetics bode well for a pretty cool post-tpd future even on these miniature containers. The glass pipette is too short but we will be satisfied with it. With a few posturitas, we should be able to make him give up the last drop of liquid! 

As for the informative aspect, he is, as usual for the brand, very neat and very professional. Nothing escapes the radar of the Lorraine manufacturer and everything is square from square, except for the vial of course.

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

If Che's life had been as marked out as the bottle of FR-ONE is, there is no doubt that he would still be alive alongside his friend Castro, eyeing the buttocks of the Cuban bombas.

Indeed, safety is not a wishful thinking here, nor an empty word. This is an almost mystical quest for the manufacturer who has taken all the necessary steps to dispassionate any debate by presenting a bottle that is a must in the genre.

Where the surprise is total is that everything is there, from the BBD to the batch number through the pictograms and so on, on such a small bottle size. And yet, everything is clear and clearly visible. Hats off Gentlemen!

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

Comments on the packaging

We have already cleared the subject more above but let us linger for a moment on the beautiful label that adorns the bottle.

Imitating a cigar ring and taking as symbol of the range the “Che”, a revolutionary icon which has rocked the songs of several generations, the graphics have airs of Hispanic tradition and is at the same time imbued with modernity by breaking with the eternal cut rectangular labels of e-liquids.

The result could have been kitsch if it had not been mastered to such an extent by a very inspired designer who was able to give the entire range an exciting graphic genetics while respecting the necessary visibility of informative and security elements.

The lower cartridge, containing the name of the liquid changes color according to the references and the rest does not move but the colors are quite marked in their difference to locate very easily. a great pro job!

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The FR-One is a gourmet tobacco that plays in lightness.

On a fairly neutral but very slightly flowery blond tobacco base superimposed sugary hints of caramel or vanilla. The whole is compact in the mouth and really pleasant to vape. A crunchy note, I use this term for lack of other qualifiers that desert my mind, fairly evanescent nuts among which I recognize a dry hazelnut which sometimes leaves on the lips an almost praline touch of sugar.

The hit is moderate, the aromatic power too, but the pleasure is intact because it is by its lightness and softness that the FR-One convinces the best. We immediately feel that we are dealing with a potential allday for gourmets. Royal with an espresso but just as good vaping alone in the rush of the city or the silence of the countryside, the FR-One is a cross-category tobacco in the sense that it will fascinate beginners as well as the most experienced of vapers. 

A nice success, perfectly adapted to this new version more glycerine.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Although light, you can take the FR-One far enough in power and temperature. Very good whether in a clearomizer or a rebuildable competition, he agrees without complaining to follow you in all your delusions, cloud-chasing excluded because of its relative weakness in VG. While climbing in the towers, he never gets rid of his balance or his flavors. The fault probably a well balanced recipe.

My mood ticket on this juice

“I have good tobacco in my snuffbox” we sings the song that made the fortune of tobacco companies and oncologists. But good tobacco, there is also in e-liquids and it is not the FR-One which will demonstrate the opposite.

Gourmet tobacco measured and balanced, it imposes by its lightness that makes it digestible on long moments of vape.

Of course, this is not a “revolution”, amigo! But just a good juice that could well be the missing link between the pure and hard tobacco that punctuates the first cloudy emotions of first-time vapers and the transition to more daring and complex juices, all gently ...

A clever juice like Fidel and hot as Salsa!
