Comments on the packaging
An e-liquid manufacturing company, Solana is a major player in the ecosystem.
With a rich catalog with classic, gourmet and fruity variations, the brand even offers its concentrated aromas for vapers able to master DIY (make their own liquid).
For our part, today we are going to devote ourselves to the Fine, tobacco recipe of “Prêts à vaper” which, if it is not one of the most transcendent flavors to achieve, nevertheless supports the offer allowing first-time vapers to take the first step. towards the vape.
Generally offered at 5,90 €, the Fine can be found without too much effort at 5,20 € at some retailers.
Mounted on a base of 50 / 50 PG / VG, the potion will be adapted to almost all atomizers or various systems of vaporization.
Dedicated more generally to new vapers, the Fine offers nicotine levels ranging from 6 to 18 mg / ml via the intermediate 12 mg and the version devoid of addictive substance. Note that on this “tobacco” the 3 mg / ml has given way to 18, which is quite relevant.
If I can understand the approach of not wanting to disperse the nicotine levels to rationalize the production, with the consumers remained faithful to this flavor but whose dependence is less, it will be necessary to mix 0 and 6 to obtain in fine of 3 mg / ml.

Comments on the packaging
The visual, very neutral, is not particularly attractive. The manufacture certainly did not consider it useful to work for the aesthetics of this recipe. But it does not matter you will say to me, the essential being inside.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Fine is a good “tobacco” capable of satisfying first-time buyers or experienced users who have retained a certain attachment to this taste category.
Blond, powerful and with a very present hit - normal for 6 mg - it manages to trick our brain into a rather realistic taste and in any case, quite credible. Only the liquids resulting from the maceration of tobacco leaves achieve even more realism, but these juices are more elitist. With the Fine de Solana we are in the presence of a variation accessible to everyone and this reference sets the bar at a high level to ensure a smooth weaning to many consovapoteurs.
Steam production is consistent for a juice with 50% vegetable glycerin.
The aromatic power is measured as well as the presence and the holding in the mouth.

- Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
- Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
- Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Hobbit, Flave 22 & Melo 5
- Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.5 Ω

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Once is not customary but this potion can be accepted by the vast majority of atomization devices on the market can be vaporized on a dripper.
A tight draw for an indirect vape (suction similar to cigarettes) will be preferred but an RDA (dripper) with moderate air inlets and power under control gives complete satisfaction.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.42 / 5
My mood ticket on this juice
Certainly one of the best “Tobacco” in this segment of the market, it is the ideal companion to start vaping without difficulty.
Reassuring not to suffer from the transition cig / personal vaporizer, this recipe offers all the benefits without the disadvantages of the mower that brings us all here.
Fine is a realistic, credible potion whose flavor will manage to make forget the detestable smell of the tobacco consumed. Its PG / VG ratio of 50 / 50 makes it possible to spray on the vast majority of existing devices but this e-liquid will also be able to satisfy more experienced consumers with more advanced equipment.
Solana is a well-known manufacturer in the ecosystem and the quality of its production is beyond reproach. These are many arguments capable of reassuring the last questions if you have not yet started.
So where do you start when?
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive.
