Comments on the packaging

In the Mixup Labs Drip Maniac range, I would like the banana?

Pickaxe!

Not even necessary since the Freaky Banana is there. It fits perfectly into this collection of fruity gourmands by offering us a pastry revisit of the exotic fruit. What to salivate or be afraid of, it depends.

Indeed, it is difficult to ignore the Bananaribo Syndrome when talking about a banana liquid and we hope that this is not what awaits us here. We can trust the Basque liquidator to make an honest proposal, we know that, but the challenge is daunting and many brands have lost their teeth. And breaking your fangs on a banana is not a good sign...

As usual in the range, our juice comes in 50ml in a 60ml container. This will therefore leave room to add a booster or neutral base, depending on whether you want to obtain 3 mg/ml or 0.

And speaking of base, here we find the 100% vegetable base dear to the brand. A fact that tends to become generalized at the moment and that we can only welcome. 70% VG and 30% Vegetal PG. What consider making big clouds.

The price, at 19.90 €, is correct.

Are we going to crash test?

Comments on the packaging

Mixup Labs usually tries to develop interesting visuals on its products. This is still the case here where the range, in a Suicide Squad spirit, presents us with a gallery of atypical characters, very on-the-edge. A perfect illustration of the Maniac drip/trip described in the name.

Our anti-hero of the day is a young and yellow brown man who looks in a hurry to fight it out. It's normal, so are we! And we're not going to give him a chance.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Surprising, the first impression is a sensation of frothy lightness. It is therefore the texture of the Freaky Banana that seduces first of all, even before its taste.

Fortunately, it does not take long to follow and quickly reveals its secret weapon. It's a banana cheesecake. Said like that, it seems simple but the flavors stand out with great sobriety and it takes several puffs before capturing the essence.

The cheesecake part dominates the debates and imposes its particular flavor of white cheese cooked and delicately hemmed with vanilla. It's really successful and the mix between smoothness, foamy texture and taste is quite successful.

The banana is also present but, delicious surprise, it appears very natural, just a little candied and we feel the roughness of its flesh in the puff. She has the good taste not to be intrusive. So each element is in its right place and remains precise.

The recipe is inspired and inspiring. Surprising at first glance, it quickly develops into a complex and complete pastry sweetness that offers the added bonus of avoiding excess sugar.

A winning combo that will lead boomerang fruit lovers into cloudy bliss.

To vape strong and open to further accentuate the lightness. It also remains recommendable in RDL but this delicacy goes well with significant ventilation.

My mood ticket on this juice

I must admit that I had a priori against this liquid before testing it, not being a big fan of bananas in the vape. I was wrong, it's a nice surprise, very greedy but imbued with a great taste sweetness and a captivating lightness of texture.

Top Jus for the right balance of the recipe, the credibility of the banana fruit and the softness of the cheesecake. Good game !
