Comments on the taste of the juice
The “Gelada” offered by V'APE is a liquid with mixed flavors of fruit, bubble gum and orange soda. When you open the bottle, the smell is sweet and pleasant, you can already feel the scents of orange soda as well as those of Bubble-gum.
Regarding the taste sensations, the liquid is soft and light, it is also sweet. The flavors of Bubble-gum and orange soda are well perceived on the expiration, the “chemical” aspect is present but it is really well dosed, very weak and sweet, which allows to have a juice that is not disgusting.
The flavors of “mixed fruit” were not felt, possibly due to the ubiquity of the two main aromas of orange soda and Bubble gum. The flavors of the whole composition are good and sweet.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
It is with a power of 26W that I was able to fully savor the “Gelada”. With this configuration, the juice is sweet, the passage in the throat light, then on the exhale the flavors of Bubble-gum as well as those of orange soda are well felt.
The exhalation is also, soft and light. By increasing the power of the vape, the aromas of orange soda seem to overwhelm those of Bubble-gum, it is a liquid that must be vape, paying attention to the settings in order to preserve the right balance between the two main flavors of the composition.

My mood ticket on this juice
The “Gelada” distributed by V'APE is a “gourmet fruity” type liquid whose main flavors, bubble gum and orange soda, are well balanced and rich in taste.
For tasting, you will have to pay attention to the vape settings in order to preserve the perfect balance of the two main flavors. Indeed, depending on the power, the flavors of orange soda seem to “crush” those of bubble gum. Only the flavors of “fruit mixture” were not felt during the tasting, I did not find it necessarily “annoying” insofar as the mixture of the flavors of orange soda and bubble gum are already largely sufficient to obtain a good liquid to vape.
I therefore allow myself to give it a well-deserved “Top Juice” especially for the taste quality of the flavors composing it.
