Comments on the taste of the juice
The Gentian liquid offered by Le Vaporium is a fruity type juice with flavors of gin and tonic, yuzu, verbena, aloe vera, watermelon, anise and mint.
When opening the bottle, it is above all fruity and juicy scents with lemony and fresh nuances that are most felt, we can also guess the sweet notes of the composition.
In terms of taste, the Gentian liquid has a good aromatic power, especially with regard to the fruity and juicy flavors of watermelon and the tart ones of yuzu, the gin and tonic is also present with its slightly bitter and sparkling touches, the gustatory rendering of these three aromas is really faithful. We also feel some softer notes from the flavors of aloe vera as well as subtle aromatic touches caused by the flavors of verbena.
Regarding the flavors of mint and anise, I didn't really see them well, I guess they certainly contribute to the refreshing notes felt at the end of the tasting.
The liquid offers on the palate a combination of bitter / tart / sparkling flavors with very pleasant fruity / juicy and sweet flavors, the whole being softened by aloe vera and slightly flavored by verbena with in conclusion subtle refreshing notes.
The liquid is rather light, its tasting is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For the tasting of the Gentian juice, I added the 10ml of nicotine booster included in the pack in order to obtain a juice with a nicotine rate of 3mg / ml, the cotton used is Holy Fiber from home HOLY JUICE LAB and the power is set to 34W in order to preserve the refreshing notes of the recipe and not to have too hot steam.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is quite soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are average, the tangy flavors of yuzu and bitter flavors of gin and tonic must surely accentuate the hit, that remains however relatively pleasant.
On the exhale the fruity, juicy and sweet flavors of watermelon express themselves first, they are almost immediately followed by the more bitter and acid ones of gin tonic and yuzu.
At the end of the exhalation, we feel faint softer notes caused by aloe vera with aromatic nuances coming from verbena, subtle refreshing touches are then perceived at the end of the tasting.
Gentian liquid with its PG / VG ratio of 40/60 is suitable for any type of material, I personally preferred to vape it with an “open” draft in order to preserve the relative freshness of the juice as well as all its flavor nuances.
