Comments on the taste of the juice
Gontran liquid is a fruity type juice with milkshake flavors accompanied by strawberry, banana and kiwi.
When the bottle is opened, the smell is pleasant and relatively sweet, the scents of the fruity mixture are perfectly well perceived, we can already guess a certain “sweetness” brought by the milkshake, the smell is also sweet.
In terms of taste, the Gontran liquid has a fairly good aromatic power, the milkshake brings sweetness and roundness in the mouth. The fruits are also present, the tastefully faithful banana seems to be slightly more present than the strawberry and the kiwi which are felt more weakly and evenly, the strawberry is present thanks to its juicy and sweet notes, the kiwi brings its subtle tangy touches.
The sweet aspects of the recipe are well balanced and seem to come naturally from the fruits.
The liquid is relatively soft and light, all the ingredients in the recipe are perceptible, the tasting is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For the tasting of Gontran, I chose a resistance with a value of 0.6 ohms in Ni80 in spaced turns, the cotton used is Holy Fiber from home HOLY JUICE LAB, the power set to 24W.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is relatively soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are light, the smoothness caused by the flavors of the milkshake is already manifested and provides a pleasant sweetness in the throat, this aspect is really pleasant .
On the expiration, the roundness in the mouth created by the flavors of the milkshake seems to be accentuated somewhat and contributes to the relative sweetness of the juice present throughout the tasting, the flavors of the banana arrive immediately, a fairly banana. light with a faithful taste.
Then, the flavors of strawberry and kiwi are expressed at the same time, these two flavors, although present, are nevertheless weaker than those of banana. The strawberry contributes to the low “juicy and sweet” notes of the recipe. The kiwi lasts for a short time in the mouth at the end of expiration thanks in particular to its subtle “tangy” notes.
The tasting is soft and light, it is not disgusting.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Gontran liquid offered by the 814 brand is a fruity type juice with good aromatic power. Indeed, all the ingredients of the recipe are perceived during the tasting.
The milkshake is present from the inspiration and strongly contributes to the sweetness of the whole, it manifests itself throughout the tasting by accompanying the fruits.
The fruity flavors are very present, the flavors of the banana seem to have a greater aromatic power than the fruity flavors of the strawberry and the kiwi, a banana whose taste rendering is quite realistic.
The flavors of the strawberry contribute to the subtle “juicy and sweet” touches of the recipe, those of the kiwi are felt thanks in particular to the weak “tangy” notes they provide, the kiwi remains in the mouth for a short time at the end of expiration, these two fruity flavors seem to be distributed evenly. The sweet notes are not overdone and seem to come from the fruity flavors of the recipe.
We thus obtain here a good fruity mix, well mellowed thanks to the flavors of the milkshake, the tasting of which is pleasant and pleasant. The softness of the whole allows the liquid not to be sickening. The Gontran therefore obtains its “Top Juice” within the Vapelier for a juice of incredible sweetness, pleasant to vape and round in the mouth.
