Comments on the packaging

The pin-up of the day is Ice Fantasia, a menthol and gourmand liquid with a small confectionery orientation.

The bottle is made of black glass completely hermetic to light rays, its capacity is 20ml for a test base in 50 / 50 PG / VG and a nicotine level in 6mg / ml.

The Bio Concept laboratory also offers vapers, who want it, different distributions of the base liquid with a percentage of propylene glycol 80% for 20% vegetable glycerin to favor the flavors, it also offers this liquid with a ratio of propylene glycol 20% to one part vegetable glycerin 80%, to obtain a denser vapor, more volume, for a little less generous flavors.

Otherwise equilibrium is possible with a base 50 / 50 PG / VG which allows an adjustment between steam and flavor that usually remains a good compromise.

The levels of nicotine are on a fairly wide range of offerings since one can choose between 0, 3, 6, 11 and even 16mg / ml.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 3.63 / 5 3.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Bio-Concept is a laboratory that manufactures its liquids in Poitou-Charente, in Niort, being French I am surprised not to find on the bottle, the embossed marking which is an essential reference for the visually impaired and that signals them the presence of nicotine in the bottle.

Under the under 18 prohibition pictogram, I also note an unknown reference BC301-15IF6, which does not indicate if it is a lot number or something else, therefore, I must consider the latter missing on the bottle, which does not a priori allow the correct traceability of the product.

Apart from that, the rest is respected, this container correctly ensures safety with a cap equipped for that, clear pictograms and precautions for use noted on the bottle.

The compounds of the liquid are indicated as well as the presence of pharmacopoeia water (distilled quality). The laboratory also provides its contact details and a telephone number for the consumer service, to report a possible concern.

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

Comments on the packaging

A pin-up in a white and flowery swimsuit, this is noticeable on a black background, the vapers will not tire of watching this very attractive range.

Ice Fantasia appears in the foreground on the label with a charming posture, her hands in her hair, the name written in green above her head. We also have a white disc in which the percentage PG / VG is given to us. By turning the bottle a little, we have all the usual precautions, the composition and the contact details of the laboratory.

Then we find the pictograms with the Best-Before, the capacity, the name of the range and of course, the rate of nicotine.

The label is beautiful, well organized and the essential information is quickly visible. There are only small lines that could be difficult to read without a magnifying glass.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 4.4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

For the smell it is obvious, between the scent of a light mint and chlorophyll, but one feels at the same time a resemblance with an acidulous candy in the shape of bottle of Coke.

At the vape is first the freshness of a light mint light, mitigated by a spearmint that gives a chewing gum to the mixture. Then mixes with these two mints a sweet taste but not too much and barely acidic candy flavored Coke.

The wedding may seem incongruous at first but the ingredients being perfectly identifiable and greedy, by this aspect confectionery, that finally the taste becomes appropriate and agreeably greedy with a small seductive freshness.

I find this juice well suited to the vintage spirit he represents through his pin-up.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

On a dripper with a resistance of 0.53Ω and a power of 31W, this e-liquid is perfect. By lowering the power a little, we lose the freshness of the clear mint and conversely, by increasing the power, if the freshness is more present there is a risk of denaturing the Coke flavor, with the appearance of a small chemical taste.

The hit is normal, and the amount of steam remains average, but correct for this base rate.

My mood ticket on this juice

Ice Fantasia is a menthol liquid, but with a confectionery aspect.

A balance between a refreshing blue mint, a spearmint that influences the candy / chewing gum orientation and the small taste of Coke on the end, which dresses the overall mix with a sweet and tangy flavor of Coca candy.

A composition that could seem dissonant, but on the contrary, is greedy.

Compliance is not perfect, but there is little missing information on the label for which it is.

As for the ratio flavor / steam it is average and remains consistent with the rates that are written on the bottle.

It is a juice that gets very well in all day and refreshes when it's hot. It is not disgusting, but personally I will not go to it every day.
