Comments on the packaging

VDLV, through its brand Cirkus, finally plunges into the big bath!

Indeed, many were those who waited for the great manufacturer to finally split a gourmet tobacco range worthy of the name. And this is now the case with this Classic Wanted range, visibly inspired by the Wild West. 

For those who do not follow the capital information (I yawn…), Classic is a new word which means “tobacco”. I specify this for those who would still ignore the principles of Novelanguage imposed by the Orwellian technocracy which now decides on linguistic modifications in place of the French Academy. So, in the future, we will no longer say “tobacco specialist” but “classicologist”, we will no longer say “tobacco shop” but “classic office” and we will no longer speak of an anti-tobacco association but of an anti-tobacco association. -classic… It is the conductors who will be happy…

I leave you to judge the idiocy of the argument and, in the same state of mind, I will propose to change the word “alcohol” by, uh, “mythologic”… or the word “drug” by, let's see that, “comic”… You can imagine a sentence like: “Mythological addiction is in no way inferior to that imposed on comic addicts. In this context of risk reduction, comicologists have defined that the use of classic classic joins these two scourges with proven mass mortality. Fortunately, classic e-liquids allow you to do away with it. ” Class, right?

In this “Classic Wanted” range, we are now testing the “Gourmet” which therefore promises to be a gourmet tobacco and which thus intends to lay the keystone of a new building to the glory of the Bordeaux manufacturer. 

Available in 0, 3, 6 and 12mg / ml nicotine, the Gourmet displays a traditional PG / VG ratio of 50 / 50 and comes in a vial of 10ml (there, I shed a tear) in glass. The container is pretty enough, let's get to the content without further ado.

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It starts rather well with a blue insert which specifies that this liquid complies with AFNOR standards. It is also the first range of French juices to have obtained this certification. We expected no less from a brand that has been forged in continuous scientific research for the health improvement of e-liquids.

The rest is in keeping and, in short, I will limit myself to saying that everything here is strictly in the nails of the new regulations imposed by the TPD. Notice appearing by lifting the repositionable label, logos with a shovel, complete information.

This is the new deal and VDLV is assuming it perfectly.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in line with the price category: Could do better for the price

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The bottle is therefore 10ml ... another aberration decided in high places on which I hope that one day we can come back. It is made of untinted glass, not anti-UV treated, which will imply on your part a concern not to expose it to the rays of the sun if you wish to preserve its integrity.

The label is in tune with the name, classic. It evokes, by its colors and its logo, the American wild west, that of Wyatt Earp and Calamity Jane. The aesthetics are not very inspired and we have known VDLV more verve on this chapter but there is nothing prohibitive either.

Based on the principle of “everything that is small is cute”, the choice of glass as a material remains quite attractive and imposes, like the Alfa Siempre range from Alfaliquid, a new and rather sexy image of 10ml containers. .

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Odorful and appetizing, the Gourmet does not disappoint when it is vape. 

the blond tobacco base is present. It is not just an alibi, it remains in the mouth and pleasantly lines the palate with a pronounced blond / oriental blend aspect. No woody or smoky effect here, the notes are clear and defined.

Gourmet notes, also present but ideally balanced, give the desired gourmet appearance. A well-grain biscuit dominates the debates and immediately becomes obvious. It gives body and pleasantly sweetens the blend.

A slight twist of vanilla is noticeable during and after the tasting and ensures a nice finish on the palate.

The recipe may seem classic, without a bad pun, but commands respect through the quality of its production and its perfect balance. We are amazed by the quality of this gourmet tobacco which reconnects with the origins of the genre and could well overshadow certain values ​​in the field, such as Tribeca for example. The difference is made on a crucial point: the gluttony is controlled and not caricatured, which makes the Gourmet perfectly compatible with an allday vape.

Who would regret even more bitterly the 30ml bottles ...

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Because of its viscosity, Goumet is compatible with all possible atomizers. Already seductive in a mid-air clearomizer / mi aerial, it explodes in the mouth in a good rebuildable. Generous, he agrees to get into the towers with great ease and his consistent aromatic power makes him even a candidate for good ventilation.

The warm / hot temperature befits him to delight. Steam development is normal for the ratio and the hit is consistent with nicotine levels.

My mood ticket on this juice

An excellent surprise that this Gourmet whose surname seems ideally chosen. 

Finally an excellent gourmet tobacco, without emphasis or ease, which will impose itself, I believe, among fans of the genre, by the quality of its taste, quite simply. It is a juice to die for and to experience eternities of regret at the smallness of the container. 

Gourmet notes in balance with a tobacco with a dominant blond that does not let itself be overtaken, here we are renewing a recipe known in the genre but which has always been a school: greedy but not too much + tobacco but not harsh = moments of bliss guaranteed in this winter which promises to be gloomy. Moments that I salute by granting a Top Juice to this seriously addicting e-liquid, in a good sense.

To test urgently !
