Comments on the packaging

Envy. One of the seven sins that will lead you to eternal damnation as quickly as the subway during rush hour. Not necessarily the most glamorous of the seven but beware, Envy leads to Temptation and we know very well what we gain afterwards. To give birth in pain, to burst the buttocks to work like trolls… all that for an unhappy apple. 

But I digress. So beware of Envy, a sin that doesn't seem like much but is terribly pernicious.

Here, however, nothing very dangerous at first glance. The liquid is delivered to you in a triangular-shaped cardboard box, well thought out to assert its difference. This mentions, as well as the bottle which sits inside, all the information necessary to warn the vapoteur about its contents. No surprises, we are in confidence with a manufacturer who has the bottle (yes, I know, it is not terrible but it is late…) in the matter.

We learn that the aromas are natural, which suggests the best. So, as the other says: “Give me the Envieeeeee!”

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

In terms of security, we continue in total confidence. Like the entire range, the brand has worked hard to present a product that is fully compliant and in which each bottle securing element has been designed to avoid the slightest incident. 

Everything is, of course, in good working order. We also have a very informative DLUO and also a pictogram which tells us that the nozzle of the pipette is 3mm in diameter. Practical to know if you can use it with your atomizer.

Comments on the packaging

I know I told you before but I love this packaging! It is even very timely because it gives desire !

Besides the box that bursts me, the slightly frosted black glass bottle is the most beautiful effect as a support for the white label. Convenient to use, it does not forget to be aesthetically attractive, the fault falling to an illustration very in phase with the purpose of the liquid. Symbolizing Envy like the Temptation of Eve by a caged apple, it is therefore in the theme and very attractive. A little gem of realization, at the same time naive and a little outdated, which typifies the bottle in a very nice way.

We find the thickness in relief just under the name Péché Capitaux, always surprising to the touch.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 2.5/5 2.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Well, the best range can only give what it has and sometimes there are liquids a little below the others. It is therefore Envy that sticks to it.

To summarize: The DNA of the range lies in three creeds: Originality, Compactness of flavors and Aromatic lightness. So far, this triumvirate has handled the previous six sins perfectly and has yielded excellent, very good, and good. But sometimes, the same recipe doesn't work every time.

Misty, here is the term that comes to mind when tasting this liquid. Original, it is, unequivocally. Compact too, probably too much because you hardly manage to distinguish one aroma from another and you feel totally lost. Lightweight ? Too many this time around and it doesn't work at all.

Apple? A little caramel? A slightly lemony aspect that I attribute to the cardamom presented because I would not have guessed it for myself. An off vanilla and a general flavor far too pale to arouse any curiosity. The recipe does not work because it confuses lightness and absence of taste, compactness and stacking, originality and caricature.

I didn't like Envy. I'm not saying it's bad, I won't make that claim and anyway, it isn't. It's just way below the rest of the lineup and of little interest.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Envie's viscosity makes it compatible with all devices. No material to dripper here but the use of a flavored clearomizer, to try to recover a little pep, is recommended. The temperature does not change much at the general equilibrium and I will be unable to advise you further.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.97 / 5 4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The range of 7 Deadly Sins is a real success. I remember the Anger (Yum), Avarice, Lust and others still which astonished and surprised me but which I found interesting and pleasant to vape.

This is not the case with Envy which I find too confused to convince and not frank enough to seduce. This juice will undoubtedly appeal to vapers looking for very light and complex fruit flavors, but its too weak aromatic power and its recipe so complex that it becomes illegible will not make it an allday or a must-have.

It does not matter, there are six more to discover, and lots of it! And then, which range can boast of being a full box? None… I console myself by telling myself that when I pass in front of Saint-Pierre, I would only have six sins to confess and not seven… that could perhaps make the difference.
