Comments on the packaging

Ginger Ale is, before becoming an e-liquid in the hands of Zap Juice, a very popular fermented ginger drink. Served fresh with a slice of lemon or a mint leaf, it is thirst-quenching and invigorating. It awakens your taste buds. Zap Juice wanted to revisit this successful drink to offer us an e-liquid inspired by it.

Bundled in a blister to the head, the Ginger Ale arrives from Great Britain. This liquid is part of the Zap Juice 50ml range, composed of 12 fruity liquids. 

It is offered in a 50ml bottle. Dosed in 0 or 3mg / ml thanks to 18mg nicotine salts supplied with the bottle. The recipe, mounted on a pg / yd basis of 30/70, lets me guess a thick texture and producing large vapor.

Its price is currently € 22, but it can vary. It is still an entry-level price.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Our English friends are playing guesswork on the label. They tell us the VG ratio, so we can guess the PG ratio. More annoying in my opinion, the batch number which allows to ensure the traceability of the product is absent. On the other hand, the DLUO is located on the blister of the cap and when you open the bottle, it becomes invisible.

Fortunately, the names of the brand and the liquid are there. The content of the product in the bottle is well indicated, the pictogram warning minors is present with the origin of the product. The list of ingredients is included on the label with warning and use information. The contacts of a consumer service are registered.

Well. There are some details to review to make Ginger Ale a compliant liquid.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

To summarize the labels in the range, it's very simple: a color… a name, a logo… and presto! The label is done! Each vial takes on the color of the fruit it offers. So the ginger in orange… why not? It's sober, minimalist and efficient.

The blister completely covers the bottle and thus ensures its virginity. The paper used is thin and soft to the touch. The visual is very simple, but the colors used are pleasant and allow to identify the liquids well between them. On the back of this label are the legal and safety information.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 3.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

The smell of the spice when opening the bottle is very strong. No doubt, I'm going to vape ginger… There is also a citrus smell that I cannot characterize. Is it the lemon? The orange? I find it difficult to distinguish.

In terms of taste, ginger is very realistic. It almost feels like soda is sparkling in your mouth. A sensation of spiciness and pepper arrives quickly in the mouth. It's original and it matches well with the fermented drink Ginger Ale. Having tested the liquid over several days, I admit that I got tired of the flavor very quickly and the sensation of spiciness of the recipe greatly bothered me as well.

The hit felt is quite strong and the vapor produced is fragrant and correct.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Ginger Ale has a very special flavor. I would not recommend it for first-time vapers, nor for allday. It is a liquid to reserve for the end of the afternoon, with a tea or a cake.

This e-liquid has a strong flavor power. It will support the opening of the airflow and a consequent power of vape. I recommend it on a clearomizer, paying attention to the coils used or on a DL atomizer.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.01 / 5 4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Ginger is excellent for your health. This rhizome is widely used among our Asian friends and today it is found everywhere. The very particular flavor of this spice is perfectly rendered in Ginger Ale and lovers of this root will delight in it. For my part, I am not a fan. I find the taste too strong and I would have appreciated it accompanied.

A little ginger in a recipe will serve to enhance the other flavors, but a ginger mono-aroma liquid does not make me want. If you like this flavor or if you want to discover new taste horizons, treat yourself, test it and make up your mind!
