Comments on the packaging
The packaging I have for the test is slightly different from that displayed on the manufacturer's website. I do not have the illustrations on the packaging, so I am basing myself on the “general public” version offered on the site for my comments.
The liquids of the Glam Vape range are packaged in transparent flexible plastic bottles with a capacity of 10ml of juice, inserted in cardboard boxes. The design of the boxes and vial labels are the same.
The label is well colored and has warm colors ranging from yellow to orange. In the middle, there is a black frame on which are deposited the names of the liquid and the range from which it comes. We also see the ratio of PG / VG and the rate of nicotine. An illustration relating to the flavors of the juice is present in the center of the frame, the front and back sides are identical.
On the sides, the data relating to use and storage are placed. It also contains information concerning the precautions for use, the list of ingredients, the batch number, the DLUO as well as the name and contact details of the laboratory manufacturing the product.
The various pictograms are present with the one in relief for the blind, the presence of nicotine in the recipe is indicated in a white frame around the bottle.
On the other hand, it seems that there is some confusion regarding the ratio of PG / VG. Indeed, on the manufacturer's website and on the same page, we can see on the image of the product a ratio of PG / VG of 30/70 while right next to it, it is indicated a ratio of 70/30. We are here, given the viscosity of the juice, with a liquid with a PG / VG ratio of 70/30.
The packaging is well done, all the information is easy to read, it's correct.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The Gummy Cola liquid is a fruity and gourmet type juice with cola confectionery flavors with citrus notes.
When opening the bottle, the chemical and artificial scents of cola are well perceived, we also feel lemony notes, the scents are also sweet.

The flavors of the cola are of the “confectionery” type, the taste effect felt is indeed “chemical” and “artificial”, the taste is well transcribed. The flavors of lemon are also present thanks in particular to their acidity and the citrus notes are rather faithful.
The ingredients seem to be evenly distributed in the composition of the recipe, the homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect.
The liquid is sweet, it is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Gummy Cola liquid has been tested using a fused clapton resistance in NI80 with a value of 0,57Ω, the cotton used is Holy Fiber from home HOLY JUICE LAB. The power is set to 22W so as 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 hit seems to be somewhat accentuated by the lemony flavors which are expressed from the inspiration.
Upon exhalation, the chemical and artificial flavors of cola appear. A confectionery-type cola whose rendering is rather well received. The citrus notes caused by the flavors of lemon come to close the tasting. The lemon is very acidic and also has a good taste.
We especially feel at the end of the tasting light sweet notes.
The tasting is soft and light, it is not disgusting.
