Comments on the packaging

Taking up the collection of its tobacco bestsellers, Alfaliquid has created this premium Alfasiempre range for “demanding vapers”, as specified on their site. The 10ml glass vials are not UV-resistant, so you will protect them yourself. On the other hand, you can easily see the level of liquid remaining, it compensates.

Alfasiempre is available in five nicotine strengths: 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16 mg / ml. The base is identical for the ten juices that compose it: 50/50. The FR-One is a veteran of the brand's productions. Its first formulation, still present on the market, was at 76/24 PG / VG ratio. It has also made its appearance in the Silverway Vegetol range which we have discussed here.

We no longer present the FR-One, it is however about him that it will be about in this review, it is (re) gone!

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

Comments on the packaging

The juice label of the range is particularly successful.

The tobacco spirit is embodied by two strong symbols: the portrait of Che Guevarra (Cuban cigar smoker inveterate) and the design that recalls the ring that surrounds the puros, cigars handmade exclusively with a tobacco leaf, point.

The configuration of essential information is perfectly integrated into the labeling motif, common to all the juices in the range. Only the lower part states the name of the juice on a background of a color specific to each of them. This labeling is for me an undeniable aesthetic success. The name of the range also refers to a song dedicated to Che (Hasta Siempre) and skillfully transposed to the glory of the French manufacturer, it's complete, don't throw it away.

Comments on the taste of the juice

The advantage of FR-One in terms of taste is that it reminds us of how tasty and specific the American blends of 20 or 30 years ago could be. It was easy to differentiate the tastes of each brand, whereas nowadays ...

Thus, this juice has its specificity, tobacco is pronounced in terms of presence. It is the top note, a blond, fragrant and characteristic tobacco of the USA, the one smoked by James Dean whose portrait I used to illustrate this review (RIP James, thank you).

Then come gourmet flavors that round off this juice without taking away its primary power. Caramel, vanilla and nuts will give this particular taste aspect to this juice. The balance is so well found that at present, this FR-One is still popular with vapers. He will even make his entry into Uncle Sam's homeland, a homecoming in a way.

Good power, as well as a correct length in the mouth, a present but not annoying hit at 6mg combine with a volume of vapor in accordance with the VG content (50%). This juice is less complex than it seems, the blend is harmonious, it ends up becoming a typical perfume, without the components standing out individually.

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 35 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense

  • Atomizer used for the review: Royal Hunter mini (Dripper).

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

It will be able to support the heating, reassure you. The drippers do not scare him, but beware of high power consumption, the bottles of 10 ml leave very quickly.

Any type of ato suits him, his base is adapted to clearos. The absence of pigments and non-vaporizable materials in the flavors guarantee a minimum of deposits on the coils.

Prefer the warm or warm vaper, it is a tobacco above all, the refreshing side or candy does not fall within the taste criteria of the FR-One. It is the juice of the nostalgic of a bygone era for all, where the tobacco had taste, the greedy aspect is a more perfumed which rounds the first flavor without mitigating it.

My mood ticket on this juice

He is not far from Top Juice, but he does not need it anymore, his route is already traced, his fans are counted by thousands. I myself steamed it with a pleasure and a nostalgia that invaded me with pleasant memories.

The FR-One is, as my colleague Ze Bulot says, a springboard for those who want to quit smoking without stressing or to wean themselves from known and appreciated perfumes. A juice as safe and well put together like this one will allow, as it has surely already enabled many of us, to quit smoking altogether while keeping only the pleasant aspect of this bad habit.

A juice to share with those you would like to see join us, in the most wonderful sanitary invention of this century and the last. Long live the free vape! Thank you for your attention and see you soon.
