Comments on the packaging
VapoDistri is what is commonly called a Pure Player; that is, a business that only sells on the Internet.
Having chosen the frog as an emblem, the Cannes brand has a catalog to make many vapers croak in front of the multitude of products available.
Their commitment: to offer the best price through some 170 brands and 4.700 references online.
For e-liquids, French and foreign brands come together to offer a wide range of flavors in the different taste categories.
If that were not enough, the frog enriches its offer with the DIY and three brands of which VapoDistri has the property.
The potion evaluated by these few lines is one of them. La Tabatière Extra Virginia is therefore a concentrate and I made this potion on a 50/50 basis of PG / VG and 3 mg / ml of nicotine.
As the name suggests, La Tabatière concentrates are “tobaccos” and better still, tobacco macerates.
Five references constitute the range, you will see later, several tastes are proposed.
The price is 6,90 € the 10 ml.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
A concentrate is not subject to the same rules as a finished product containing nicotine.
Of course, all the necessary information is on the bottle, such as the percentage of dilution, etc.
The macerates are, of course, natural flavors and the brand is not stingy with information even if the recipe, the extraction method and the aromas remain secret.
The glass vial is necessary because unlike synthetic flavors, pure tobacco macerates, when not yet diluted in the base, require resistant vials.
Always with the aim of protecting the precious nectar, the bottle is also tinted for a perfect preservation of the contents.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
“Extra Virginia, the tobacco par excellence! Slightly and naturally sweet, with a scent… of straw! When shooting, we feel like a sensation of hot hay. The basis for any blend of macerates, but obviously usable on its own. ”
As you can see from this description, the different macerates can mix and VapoDistri gives us some ideas on his website about possible assemblies.
For my part, I am not going to play the apprentice flavorist today because the goal is to obtain all the quintessence of the potion to try to transcribe a faithful reading.
Typically, in smoked tobacco, Virginia is added to a blend of the dried leaf. In the vape, it is often offered on its own because its qualities: blond, soft, slightly sweet / caramelized make it “easy” and affordable e-liquids for the greatest number.
As much to prevent, the refractories of “Classic” flavors, it is really tobacco and sufficiently typified to recall the cigarettes that we have abused.
Of course, it is crying out for realism, less consumption, smells and misdeeds. Virginia meets the characteristics we expect for a plant in this category.
Contrary to the designer's suggestion, I did not add ultra-pure distilled water and I let steep for much longer than the recommendation. The result is only better (I had tasted every week) after four, five weeks and certainly even better for the more patient.
The hit, if it is proportional to 3 mg / ml that I added, is frank and direct also contributing to the realism of the result.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
As expressed in the previous chapter, do not hesitate to steep (maturation time) more than recommended. Personally, I usually advise my clients to wait at least four weeks.
After various tests, I appreciated a 12% dilution without adding water.
Relatively "fragile", macerates do not swell at too high powers. The absolute harvested dried leaf is delicate and is treated with respect.
Reserve accurate rendering materials that focus on restoring flavors. Very logically, a controlled air intake will be your best ally.

My mood ticket on this juice
First opus, first Top Jus. Series in progress ...
Top Jus Le Vapelier but beware that not everyone will like it. We need to contextualize because we are talking about a tobacco macerate, in the clear of an e-liquid capable of reproducing as closely as possible the sensations of smoked tobacco.
Obviously, this has nothing to do with the fatal addiction, the result in the vape is much richer, taste. But if this type of flavor wins the votes of many amateurs of which I am one, it must also be recognized that many vapes are turning their backs on it, preferring fruity, fresh, minty or gourmet flavors.
If these “Classics” potions seem primarily intended for first-time vapers, I am more cautious about offering them a macerate in the first grind. Or with the usual precautions. Warn that the resistors do not last very long, that these juices are so much better on rebuildable atomizers, etc ...
I started this series of evaluation with Extra Virginia because it is very logically at the base and in charge of the fundamentals. Whether steamed alone or in combination with other flavors, it will provide the basis for many combinations.
This range of La Tabatière suggests good things, in any case, the delivery of VapoDistri is studious, serious and completely credible to complete the rich catalog.
The rest continues to steep quietly, so wait a bit, the reading will be for later ...
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive.
