Comments on the packaging
Today's liquid is called Ik Tsu Arpok… 😲
I would like to thank its manufacturer, Le Vaporium, for allowing me, with its choice of surnames, to dust off the keys on my keyboard which would remain unusual and very lonely without it.
Ik Tsu Arpok is not a sneeze or a Klingon warrior song, it's Inuit. It translates to: “the impatient wait for someone while regularly checking their arrival”. I have to tell you that I took Latin, Greek and Aramaic in modern languages so I don't know Inuit. I confine myself to copying the explanatory sentence that sits on the bottle.
Despite my immense culture which would make Wikipedia pass for the "comments" page of 20 Minutes (Editor's note: And your ankles for elephant legs 🙄), I admit my abysmal gap in the matter. Basically, Ik Tsu Arpok means "hang around" in good French. Don't worry, we won't hang around any longer.
The liquid comes in a 60 ml bottle to extend. The brand invites us to add 20 ml of neutral or nicotine base to reach the ideal threshold, which will allow you to navigate between 0 and almost 6 mg/ml of nicotine according to your needs and desires. It costs 24 €.
This liquid also exists in 30 ml for 12 €.
It is assembled on a 100% vegetable base in a 40/60 PG/VG ratio, as traditionally with Vaporium.
Well, it's not all that, time passes, your eyes wear out and my taste buds stand at attention. Let's go ?

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Move along, there's nothing to see ! Or rather if: everything is perfect. Transparent, clear, legal beyond all power, a must.
The manufacturer informs us of the presence of furaneol for those who are allergic to this substance which is found naturally in strawberries, tomatoes, buckwheat, among others, and which gives a sweet and caramelized taste to a preparation.

Comments on the packaging
Why change a winning formula?
It is on the basis of this postulate that we are happy to find the usual visual of the Bordeaux brand, declined this time in a becoming off-white color.
Always the list of aromas on the label and this “frieze” nature and discovery that one would think borrowed from the sketchbook of a botanist.
It's pretty, simple, sober.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Welcome to the kingdom of zenitude. On the menu: sweetness and smoothness.
To put it simply, the flavors of Ik Tsu Arpok are polarized between a Sicilian cannoli and an Italian coffee. For a liquid with an Inuit name, that's not bad.
The cannoli imposes itself first with a vanilla cream very present and textured like a mousse. It gives us very slight reminiscences of almond. There are some notes of fried dough and the discreet aromas of an almost imperceptible cocoa.
The coffee then appears and takes over with a milky side and without any bitterness. It's the soft world here, like the snow cover of eternal winters. The textures are striking, very well worked. Sometimes, evanescent coconut fumes gush out with a puff, accentuating the gluttony.
The recipe is once again a masterpiece of balance. It could be fat and too much, it is not so because the flavourist has ensured that the aromatic power is correct but sufficiently restrained not to be disgusting.
This liquid is devilishly greedy and fascinates from the first puff. We alternate between an astonishing lightness in the category, a thickness rarely seen and a palette of flavors of great richness.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
If the juice will impose itself with great ease in almost all evaporation systems, dedicate it rather to a top coil which will give it an ideal temperature between warm and hot.
Well ventilated, it will be perfect, all in foamy lightness. More concentrated in MTL or RDL, it will become the favorite companion of any hot drink.

My mood ticket on this juice
Yes, it's still a Top Jus that salutes the new gourmet prowess of the Vaporium... It's even grumbling and penalizing since all the editorial staff look at me askance saying: "you're still going to have trouble putting so many Tops!”. That's when I give them a taste and they realize that it's impossible to do otherwise... 😥
It is indeed difficult to give another appreciation to a high-flying liquid that joins the best gourmet flavors from its first debutante ball.
Remains the name which earned me cramps in the fingers! I will propose to Vaporium to call their next liquid Wysiwyg or Zakouski, just to dust off new keys on my keyboard! 😬
