Comments on the packaging
Vapeflam, a French brand located in Aytré near La Rochelle, is at the origin of two new ranges of premium liquids: Yu of which we have already mentioned a few copies and Hi of which we are going to know the number 3, a fruity / greedy, among the four references available.
The four liquids in the range are also all gourmands, treated differently by the three founders of the brand, to see a preferential relationship of circumstance, although certainly qualifiable sexist, is none the less fully assumed by your servant .
The price of 50ml at 70% VG which interests us here, is relatively high for a juice without nicotine, but can be justified by the complex elaboration of which it is the subject: 21 € recommended price in shop, to which you will have to add shipping costs (2 €) if you order it online, on the manufacturer's website.
Hi 3 is one of the winners of the Vapexpo 2018 Awards Desserts category, described on the dedicated web page as follows, after spell check:
“A return to childhood guaranteed with this smooth liquid !!
Crispy cereals topped with a banana jam and a touch of honey.
The whole thing will immerse you in a moment of relaxation from the first light of the day. ”
An enticing presentation which, although succinct, has the merit of clearly announcing the nature of the main actors involved. Before, let's concentrate on a less tasty but very important aspect of this production: its packaging.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The transparent PET vial may contain the addition of 10ml to 20ml of any booster. The dropper makes 2mm at the tip. It's up to you to protect your bottle from the sun's rays, the label is compact but does not cover the entire potentially exposed surface. The stopper is provided with a first-opening protection ring and a child safety lock.
The mandatory and optional information are present (pictograms) as well as a date of manufacture of the batch, a reference number, a DLUO and the full contact details of the manufacturer-distributor. Note the use of several languages (I counted six) describing the list of ingredients, the precautions for use and the words “manufactured and distributed by”. You will probably need a suitable optical instrument to decipher the passages written in very small form. The lettering of the useful volume, the proportions of PG / VG and the absence of nicotine are clearly legible.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The Hi range is only available in 50 ml, it has a similar graphics in two parts for each flavor, only their numbers and the aromatic description change.
In front, the background is metallic white, on which we guess a form of golden oblong ribbon, variegated shading effects with shades of gray metallic. Inside the loop, a shape reminiscent of a drop contains the name of the range: Hi. Under this set stands the juice number above the name of the sign.
A vertical strip of 6mm is not covered by the label, which shows the level of juice remaining and will require you to preserve the vial from the harmful effects of sunlight.
On the back, it is the informative and technical part of which we spoke above which covers half of the surface.
A sober aesthetic, two dominant colors (gold and white metallic) with shades of gray, it is in accordance with the marketing rules of the TPD, a suitable labeling, despite a choice of character format sometimes difficult to decipher.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
The preparation has been approved by the administrative authorities for placing on the market. The base 30 / 70 (PG / VG) is of plant origin and pharmacological grade (USP / EP), the flavors used are food grade and do not contain harmful substances such as diacetyl. No added purified water, no alcohol, no dye. It is a 0% so we are not talking about nicotine, which avoids double labeling on the vial or via a possible box.
This preparation was therefore awarded by an independent jury at the Vapexpo 2018 Awards, in the dessert category (gourmet), it obtained 2nd place. Is it for the originality of the recipe, the realism of the flavors, the correctness of the dosage? Or quite simply a clever mix of all these criteria, this is what we invite you to discover in the next chapter.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
This liquid, slightly amber, gives off a cold smell of caramelized cereals, biscuit type. To taste, it is moderately sweet, the banana makes a sustained appearance and honey (including the thick appearance in the mouth), relegating the cereal flavor to the background.
I will start this test with the Zlide atomizer in MTL (12,5W for 1,7Ω). The advantage of indirect vaping for fine tasting, is, without any possible biased partisan dispute, this stage of vaping in the mouth which allows an unequaled distinction of the flavors present; expiration through the nose confirming the prior taste impressions.
Thus, at the first puffs, you will clearly perceive the tastes described above. In order of preponderance, I personally discovered a cereal bar with banana, topped with honey that persists in the mouth by its thick syrupy character in the mouth but also by its typical taste.
With this type of ato, the description of the designers of Hi 3 is absolutely consistent with the feeling. I have not heated this juice in this configuration, beyond this power recommended by the designers of the ato, the vape is lukewarm, pleasant is amply accurate not to risk a disappointment gustatory doubled with a likely dry hit .
We are not going to stop there. Drifter and vape lovers in sub-ohm appreciate the good juices as much as others, even if they do not conceive the vape without a significant production of odorous mist.
It is therefore on the Thunder (Ehpro RDTA to 0,3Ω and 40W to begin), that will continue this evaluation. This ato also allows an indirect vape, even though it is not necessarily studied for that; just close the airholes and suck accordingly, quiet. Immediate effect, vape a little warmer, restitution of flavors wider and especially of equivalent quality in terms of accuracy of rendering.
This juice is exactly what it says it is, without the commercial adjectives essential to any marketing argument, which you will later consider to be valid or not, take these for disinterested objectivity, namely: faithful, realistic, tasty, pleasant, soft, delicate, fair, effective. I brutalize him a bit for the show.
50W direct! the vape is hot (airholes all open) the cereal bar confirms its presence, the banana tends to caramelize, the honey remains suave and lasting in the mouth. The change takes place above all in the feeling, the quality of the tastes varies only by the calorific intake, without deteriorating.
As this juice is not over dosed it remains very soft, even very heated. Steam production is entirely in line with the advertised glycerin level, I will not go higher, judging better impressions to 40 / 45W (it's personal and in no way an imposed limit).
It's a 0% so you will probably have to boost it, by doing so it would seem that a dilution to 10ml is sufficient not to go down in aromatic power, I would not try more than 10ml knowing that we are in the presence of 'a 30/70, not very powerful (the type of aromas chosen so requires) and that it is preferable to vape it lukewarm, without rushing it, if one wants to maintain an optimal feeling for a “normal” consumption.
Note finally that its VG content and amber color suggest a possible calamine deposit on your coils, faster than with a transparent 50 / 50, more reason not to heat it inconsiderately.

My mood ticket on this juice
Hi n ° 3 is the ultimate juice of the range that I had the pleasure to evaluate for the Vapelier and to help you in your choices. This is the most successful in my opinion because it combines precision and consistency of tastes and their description, consistent assembly of the proposed flavors, fair dosage and pleasant base to vaper.
I did not participate in 2018's Vapexpo Awards tests, but I also assure you that I am independent enough to give me a calm opinion of what I am asked to do, regardless of the opinions of my colleagues.
It is therefore in this context that I take the initiative to award a Top Juice to this preparation, especially as the other liquids in the range have not gone far from this consecration, it was necessary to have one that just stands out. a little more from the others and this is it. An all day without a doubt for many of you. Having offered to taste it to my daughter, she just left me enough to finish this review, that is to say if she liked it because it is so difficult!
Decidedly I confirm an impression mentioned at the beginning, this greedy is an elixir of girls for girls ... A good half of all vapors, it's not bad anyway.
Good vape to everyone.
See you soon.
