Comments on the packaging

The “Alfa Garage” range is a novelty resulting from a collaboration between the first French liquid brand Alfaliquid and Le Labo Basque, also a French juice manufacturer.

The rigor of the legendary juice maker Alfaliquid associated with the "Custom Culture" way Religion Juice of Labo Basque offers us a range of four liquids with fruity flavors with a rather "vintage" look whose names of the liquids evoke certain emblematic vehicles of the 70s.

The juices are packaged in transparent flexible plastic bottles slightly tinted to protect the liquids from light. The vials have a capacity of 60 ml of product, the total capacity after the possible addition of nicotine booster is 60ml.

The base of the recipe displays a balanced ratio of PG / VG of 50/50, the nicotine level is obviously zero given the quantity of juice offered, this rate can be adjusted directly in the bottle to obtain a value of 3 mg / ml.

Comments on the packaging

The liquids of the “Garage” range are offered in bottles whose caps and labels are purple, the design of the packaging is perfectly in line with the name of the range thanks in particular to the illustrations present in the center of the labels.

The FMX liquid therefore presents an image representing a Honda FMX motocross, this illustration has a glossy finish like the name of the range.

All the various data are perfectly clear and easily readable, a practical detail that I particularly appreciate. The tip of the bottle lifts up to facilitate the possible addition of nicotine, moreover a location is provided to note the dosage carried out as well as the brand of the booster used.

The packaging is very well made and finished, it's very correct!

Comments on the taste of the juice

FMX liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of apple, strawberry and peach.

On opening the bottle, I really feel the fruity mix of the composition, the sweet notes are also present, the flavors are very pleasant.

I clearly perceive the aromatic power of the FMX in the mouth during its tasting. Indeed, I first identify strawberries and peaches on inspiration. I feel the strawberry thanks to its aromatic and fragrant notes, it is rather soft and slightly sweet. The peach is expressed by its juicy aspect and the taste rendering of its faithful flesh, it is also very sweet.

The apple appears especially at the end of expiration thanks to its acidulous notes which give a little more aromatic power to the whole recipe, the flavors of the apple last a short time in the mouth at the end of tasting, this last taste touch is very fun!

The liquid is very sweet, the juicy notes of the fruits are well respected and felt in the mouth, the liquid remains soft and light throughout its tasting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Thanks to its rather fluid viscosity, the juice will therefore be suitable for most materials.

The liquid remains soft and light. To preserve good aromatic power and savor it fully, a restricted type of draw seems ideal to me. Indeed, with a more airy draw, the flavors are much more diffuse.

  • Can this juice be recommended as an all-day vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.47 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The FMX liquid offered by Alfaliquid and Le Labo Basque is a fruity type juice which, despite its sweetness, has a correct aromatic power provided that its draw is well adapted in order to maintain the right balance of flavors.

The fruity trio is pleasant and pleasing on the palate with an absolutely convincing result.

A perfect liquid for lovers of fruity juices with the added bonus of a hint of acidity to round off the tasting! Top Vapelier for the successful collaboration!
