Comments on the taste of the juice
The Fine liquid is a “classic and gourmet” type juice with flavors of tobacco and dried fruits.
When opening the bottle, the predominant smell is that of tobacco with some faint scents of dried fruits.
In terms of taste, the tobacco has a good aromatic power, we are here with a blond type tobacco whose taste is quite faithful. Regarding dried fruits, they are nuts or rather a mixture of nuts whose aromatic power seems to be less pronounced than that of tobacco. This mixture is however very present in the mouth, subtle flavors of hazelnuts and walnuts seem to stand out tastefully from the lot.
The tasting is pleasant, the liquid is not disgusting, the homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For tasting the Fine, the power has been set to 32W and the cotton used is Holy Fiber from Holy Juice Lab. With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are average, the hit seems to be accentuated slightly at the beginning of the expiration. The vapor obtained is of the normal type. At the start of the expiration we have a hit that is pronounced a little more, the flavors of blond tobacco appear, they are tastefully present, then the flavors of nuts take place by grafting on the tobacco, we feel at the level taste especially subtle notes of nuts and hazelnuts, these flavors last until the end of the vape. The tasting is sweet, it is not disgusting.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Fine liquid offered by SOLANA is a “classic and gourmet” type juice whose main tobacco flavor, blond type, is perfectly felt in the mouth with a rather faithful taste.
Regarding nuts, it is a mixture of dried fruits which has an aromatic power present on the palate but less pronounced than that of tobacco, subtle notes of hazelnut and walnut seem to come off. The assembly of these two flavors is quite well done and is pleasant in the mouth, the liquid is not disgusting.
We are here with a good blond tobacco with subtle gourmet touches caused by the flavors of the nut mixture.
