Comments on the packaging
Alfaliquid (also known as Alfa or Gaïatrend) is a French e-liquid manufacturer. The brand offers more than 200 flavors in its catalog and has largely contributed to building the history of vaping in France.
The Alfaliquid brand offers two ranges of juices to facilitate smoking cessation with liquids with high levels of PG, these two collections have four juices with basic flavors (fruity, classic, gourmet and fresh).
These are the WinWin ranges. WinWin Exit, with nicotine base, offers levels of 3, 6, 11, 16 and 19,6mg/ml. WinWin Extra, this time in nicotine salts, is dosed at 10 or 20mg/ml. Today's Fresh liquid comes from the latter.
The base of the recipe displays a PG/VG ratio of 70/30 and has a nicotine level of 10 mg/ml for my copy. The liquid is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic bottle with a capacity of 10 ml of juice, integrated into a cardboard box.
The Fresh is offered at a price of €5,90 and thus ranks among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
LAC Power by Alfaliquid technology is a process using lactic acid to create nicotine salts. Lactic acid is an endogenous acid already produced by our body which is therefore used to processing this molecule, this neutral acid is lighter and does not taste like nicotine.
The presence of this molecule in the development of the recipe is well specified in the list of ingredients.
A user manual for the product is present in the box, there is also the AFNOR certification of the product with the instructions for storage and use, possible undesirable effects and contraindications.
We also note all the data relating to legal and security compliance in force. Everything is there, it's transparent and reassuring.

Comments on the packaging
The Winwin Exit and WinWin Extra juice ranges are intended to be “totem” ranges to remind smokers of a return to the roots of taste. This is the reason why these two ranges of liquids have simple symbols (lines or waves) on their packaging.
The names of the range and the symbol are slightly embossed on the box. It's simple but very well done.
All the various information is clear and easily readable.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Fresh is the typical fresh juice from the WinWin Extra range. At the opening of the bottle, I perfectly feel the flavors of mint with sweet sweet notes. The scents are pleasant.
The aromatic power of mint is present in the mouth even if the latter is much less strong than the classic version of the same juice, nicotine salts oblige. The mint is a strong and fresh mint type, not very sweet. The taste rendering is faithful, realistic.
The fresh notes of the recipe appear especially at the end of the tasting. They are very well dosed, not aggressive.
The Fresh, thanks to its softness, will be perfectly suitable for beginners for whom it has been studied.
The homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect, the tasting is never disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
MTL type equipment will be perfect for tasting this liquid. Indeed, juices based on nicotine salts have been designed for a tight type draw at low vape power and using a resistance greater than or equal to one ohm.
So-called “traditional” nicotine also acts as a flavor enhancer and a vector of hit. Nicotine salts are softer, which is why Le Fresh from the WinWin Extra range has a lighter aromatic power than its “classic” version. The hit nevertheless remains of the “medium” type, certainly because of the flavors of the strong mint, it remains however less aggressive than the classic version.
The liquid is quite fluid, so you will have to be careful with the material used, but with an MTL-oriented configuration there should be no particular concern.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Fresh is a great success that perfectly fulfills its role of "converter" to the vape.
Its composition therefore has the same characteristics as the normal version but differs in its greater lightness in taste. Indeed, we are here on a much more civilized strong mint for beginners. The fresh aspect of the recipe is also less intense.
This liquid will therefore be perfect for smokers wanting to take the plunge thanks to its softness and the hit it provides, much softer than the “classic” version, it is perfect for helping with smoking cessation.
Personally, and having tested both versions of this juice, I appreciated this variant in nicotine salts more than the “classic”. Indeed, the vape obtained is softer, the flavors less aggressive and the fresh notes of the composition much more pleasant!
