Comments on the packaging
In this dawning winter, what better idea than to vape an icy mint? Okay, there are seasons more suited to this thrilling sport, who wouldn't dream of a good refreshing vape in a heatwave?
However, luckily enough, today we are testing the Ice Mint flavor of the vPro Range from Vype which gave us excellent tasting moments during the last tests.
It is therefore with a confident mind that I discover the two capsules in the packaging and a beautiful smell of peppermint pervades the room. The capsule is already of a rare intelligence because the level of the liquid remains visible all the time, the mouthpiece is particularly adapted to its function and the reassuring presence of a ceramic resistance, guaranteeing a beautiful precision of the tastes and 'incomparable smoothness of vape, suggests plugging it right away in the ePod provided for this purpose. And this, all the more easily as the capsule holds by magnetization.
Ice Mint is available in 6, 12 and 18mg / ml of nicotine, enough to satisfy the majority of consumers. And not basic nicotine but nicotine salts which will be more suitable for a beginner vape. Softness of the puff in the throat, satiety obtained more quickly, these are major assets for the first-time vapers who will find here the characteristics of their traditional cigarette without experiencing any discomfort in the larynx.
The two capsules are sold at a price of 8,49 €, located in the middle of the category. Of course, the price per milliliter is higher than refill bottles but you have to take into account the ease of use and the fact that you will change the atomizer and resistance every day, this guaranteeing you optimal functioning and preserved flavors. .
That being said, I put on my anorak and mittens. Let's go test this liquid!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
At a pivotal moment in the development of the vape, the manufacturer fully understood that, in the interest of consumers, it was necessary to show a white leg. Thus, no bad surprises here, the will of the legislator is respected to the letter.
No illustration likely to attract the eyes of children, all the compulsory pictograms are present and clearly visible, the legal warnings are clear, everything is therefore gathered for a perfect match with the necessary safety.
If the mention of the name of the laboratory producing the liquid is absent, a DDM, a batch number and a toll-free number in the event of a problem are likely to reassure the most anxious. It is well seen!

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
In terms of packaging, we have white cardboard packaging where two colored bands differentiate the flavor in question from other brand references. Here, they are “forest green”, which seems to be suitable in this case.
In addition to the two separately blistered capsules, there are very clear and comprehensive instructions for use. In addition to the safety information, multiple user tips are given so that your first vaping experience is even more simplified. The system speaks for itself, it is made to be usable by all concerned, but abundance of information does not hurt when you start.
Of course, the aesthetics of the cardboard and its undoubtedly a little imposing size could be more fun for the first and more adapted to a nomadic use for the second but the essential is there. After all, you don't vape cardboard!

Comments on the taste of the juice
I did well to put on my anorak! The first puff is very evocative, a cloud of freshness creeping into the mouth and descending to the back of the throat. I would point out, however, that it is in no way one of those liquids flirting with absolute zero and resulting in total papillary paralysis. The freshness is real and even very surprising for a capsule system, but it is not caricatured. This allows the main flavor to express its subtleties without hindrance.
Peppermint is easily recognizable. The genetic descendant of spearmint and aquatic mint distills its green and spicy aromas in a very pleasant way and the plant is respected, even in its modesty in sugar. There is no resemblance here to a well-known chewing gum that has broken more teeth than Mike Tyson, we are on a herbaceous, realistic and powerful scent.
The recipe is simple but effective. When you want an icy mint and you get an icy mint, it's because the bet has been met and the promise kept.
Appreciation of the juice tasting

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Peppermint obliges, the hit is more remarkable than in the other flavors of the range but it is also the desired goal when you like this category of liquids.
Our pearl of freshness will vaporize throughout the day, without any weariness occurring. To be avoided, however, during meals or on an espresso, it is not really made for and peppermint likes to tint all other tastes with its particular color.
