Comments on the packaging

You walk in the forest with a slow and conscientious step in the middle of September and, in your bucolic exploration, completely focused on your most intimate thoughts, you notice a large hazel tree. Seized with sudden interest and childish curiosity, you reach out your hand and….

And you instead come and help yourself from the range of e-liquids from Taffe-elec, it's simpler. You don't need a forest or even hiking boots. Especially since, as we will see later, you would not lose out.

The Hazelnut is therefore part of the Taffe-elec collection and it is not insignificant to find the achene in the catalog since it is one of the favorite fruits of gourmands. Available in multiple varieties, it also delights gourmets since it is found in many culinary preparations, especially in pastries but not only!

Here, it is therefore a vaping liquid which will try to persuade us that the manufacturer has put the hazelnut in the bottle without forgetting anything outside! It comes in a 10 ml format and retails for €3.90. We might as well tell you that we are €2 below the average for the category. We are therefore entitled to wonder where the problem is. However, having tested many juices from the range, I must confess that I am still looking and that I cannot find one. The Vapelier editorial team continues to be amazed by the quality/price ratio of the numerous references that the brand offers us.

Assembled on a balanced basis of 50/50 PG/VG, the liquid therefore has all the attributes which will allow it not only to be vaped in all containers but also to provide a balance between aromatic precision and vapor volume.

It is available in 0, 3, 6, and 11 mg/ml of nicotine, enough to satisfy the majority of needs. Even if we can already criticize it for not existing in 50 ml or in nicotine salts. Come on, damn, it's starting to rain, I'm throwing up my pumps in the dirt of this forest. I'm coming home to drink a coffee and vape some Hazelnut!

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

Comments on the packaging

On the small containers as on the largest in the range, we find the same aesthetic DNA. A light background, almost parchment in the case of the Hazelnut and a nice illustration of the expected fruit. It's sober, rather pretty, even if this type of somewhat naive design probably fits better in a larger container.

Let's not shy away from our pleasure, it remains completely elegant and pleasant, especially since the obligatory information is all present in the call and it really overloads such a small bottle. The label peels off to reveal the warnings necessary for consumer safety.

Comments on the taste of the juice

We're not going to prolong the suspense: the taste experience is stunning.

The manufacturer's choice focused on a very realistic vision of the hazelnut, more rustic and natural than sophisticated and pastry. And we can only welcome it.

Not very sweet, the typical flavor of the fruit explodes in the mouth and spreads its finely milky, very earthy and vegetal taste throughout the palate. This is a dry hazelnut, roasted to best express its flavorful capabilities.

We therefore find the fruit of the tree, in its simplest expression and we imagine that achieving such emulation must not have been simple. We feel woody notes, traces of chestnut and everything contributes to making the puff at the same time dry in its astringent aspect but also totally delicious.

We can only fantasize about the number of compounds that had to be implemented to achieve such fruity fullness, especially since the texture in the mouth, strangely, really comes close to fruit after a few puffs, the crunchy appearance less obviously. But everything else is there for lovers of the undergrowth.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Perfect in MTL on your favorite pod, Noisette also shows its advantage in RDL in a clearo or a more powerful pod. Be careful, however, to vape a little less strongly than usual, too high a power and therefore a temperature will generate greater harshness which risks harming your tasting. Vape grandfather, what, you are in the forest, remember! 😉

Perfect solo and all-day, it goes wonderfully with an espresso or hot chocolate.

My mood ticket on this juice

The Noisette that Taffe-elec offers us does not suffer from any criticism and does better than compare with the market leaders in the category. It is at the same time greedy, harsh, rustic, full of taste, powerful in the mouth. In short, it's a nut, a real one! No approximation or caricature, we are as close as possible to the fruit here!

So, Top Vapelier! With the downside of knowing that this reference does not exist in 50 ml. Life is definitely unforgiving...
