Comments on the packaging

Nhoss is a company based in Bondues (near Tourcoing) in the Nord department. Since October 2010, this Vapotage House, as it is defined, is active and spreads its products throughout the country, slowly but surely. From 2011, a website supports vapers in their choice of liquids and more recently equipment for beginners or for the most experienced.

With 7 ranges and 5 tobacco references, no less than 44 different liquids are offered to us. The one we are going to talk about here is a particular gourmand, focused on liquorice but we will see it later, not only.

Packaged in a 10ml PET vial, you will find it at different nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6, 11 and 16 mg / ml.
Its price of € 5,90 is aligned with the prices of mono-aromas on the market, it is <65 / <35 PG / VG, (slightly lower proportions taking into account a percentage of aromas and possibly nicotine) that the designers wanted more fragrant than misting, if you allow me the expression.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The packaging is in transparent semi-rigid PET, with a fine tip of 2mm outside (orifice = 1mm) for practical use in all existing atomizers. The cap is of course fitted with a child safety device and a first opening ring.

The raised marking for the blind / visually impaired is present on the top of the cap, we can regret its absence on the label, which has the consequence of reducing the overall rating of this product according to the Vapelier rating protocol.
The double (drop-down) label contains all the indications and precautions for use, in accordance with the legislation, as well as the compulsory pictograms and symbols, where applicable.
You will also find a batch number, a DLUO (here expressed EXP) and the manufacturer's contact details if necessary.

This reference, like the others offered by the brand, has satisfied the regulatory requirements allowing the obtaining of an administrative marketing authorization, issued by the DGCCRF. It is therefore useless to look for any defect or failure, it is faultless.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

The design part of the packaging also complies with legal requirements, no colors and graphics that can lead youth to some irrepressible addictive buying impulses. Sobriety and efficiency are essential on the small surface of 10ml vials.
As the brand specifies on its site: “In accordance with Art. L. 3513-16 and Art. L. 3513-17, the labels of the Nhoss e-liquid bottles mention 

“The composition of e-liquids - The nicotine level and the quantity released per dose - The batch number and the DLUO - A recommendation that the product should be kept out of reach of children - A health warning on 30% of 2 most important sides of the bottle - Instructions for use and storage of the product - Contraindications - Warnings for specific risk groups ”.

The size of the lettering indicating the proportions of PG / VG as well as the rate of nicotine is however too small to appear clearly, this detail will also burden the final note by a few tenths, thus is developed the Vapelier evaluation protocol . It should be noted that Nhoss visibly differentiates the nicotine levels, with a specific cap color for each rate.

In terms of the aesthetic appropriateness / expression / style and the formatting, I leave it to you to judge if you wish because, I lack competence in the matter, just as it seems unseemly to appreciate in any way. this is a regulated graphic work, as long as it correctly presents the product, informs the consumer and does not disseminate a misleading indication.

I would just add that the liquid is fairly well protected from solar radiation by the almost integral surface of covering of the label, however you will take care with the use, to protect your bottle from direct sunlight.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Despite the title of the section and as I have not yet finished with the “technical” characteristics of this juice, we will see in detail what it is made up of, as well as what it does not contain.

Nhoss offers, depending on the flavor, references to 65/35 or 50/50 PG / VG. Whatever the range put on the market, its different flavors were each controlled, according to the analysis report of an independent laboratory of the company, the DGCCRF in the light of the results of sanitary conformities, subsequently granted their placing on the market.

VG is of plant origin just like nicotine. The aromas are of food quality and here is what the brand's website says about the above: "Nhoss is committed to choosing the best ingredients used in the composition of its e-liquids and to constantly reinforcing the controls on the materials. raw, products in production and at the end of the chain.

Because safety requires good information, Nhoss provides you with a specific safety sheet where you will find the compositions of the liquids as well as the precautions for use ”.
You just have to visit their site and you should not be bored there.

Liquids are also sold under the OFG label (Origine France Garantie) "issued by Bureau Veritas which guarantees that certified products are manufactured exclusively in France, for at least 65% of added value. The Origine France Garantie label was created at the initiative of the Profrance collective to remedy the lack of rigor of “made in France” and to offer much higher requirements.

For you, buying Nhoss e-liquids also means preserving employment in France, in addition to the quality guarantees offered by the production method and product traceability ”.

Let's quickly take a look at what you won't find in the manufacture of Nhoss liquids, here again I refer to the site: “• Diacetyl • Ambrox • Paraben • Sesame seeds, lupine and derivatives • Soybeans and derivatives • GMO ingredients or derivatives of GMOs • Cereals and derivatives containing gluten • Celery and derivatives • Mustard and derivatives • Peanuts and derivatives • Crustaceans, molluscs or fish and derivatives • Eggs, milk and derivatives • Nuts and derivatives • Sulphites.
I would venture without hesitation to confide to you that there is no ethanol either, at least not in Intense Licorice, no more than added water was it purest.
Thus can finally begin the purely taste review, with the added bonus of some cautious vaping advice of this mono-aroma at 65% PG.

  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel, cellulose fiber Holy Fiber

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Amber in color, this preparation has no particularly pronounced odor when the bottle is opened. Its taste is slightly sweet (normal for a gourmet), we distinctly smell licorice and more discreetly anise, a frequently used blend that goes well with different dosages.
Here the dominant note is clearly the governor, in accordance with the description of the liquid that will be found on the site, as follows:

“An explosion of freshness on the palate, intense liquorice which happily combines a touch of anise and all the scents of nature: flowers, green herbs and allied undergrowth. A delicious and fresh flavor at the same time, amateurs will appreciate! ".

For freshness, do not expect an explosion as we perceive it with generously menthol juices, it is a freshness relative to the ingredients used, of which probably a touch of spearmint is part.

The vape fully confirms the description cited above with an excellent holding in the mouth, it is an aroma reminiscent of two kinds of confectionery, one supple black and wound in a spiral, the other in the form of candy to suck where we distinguish clearly the anise note.
The aromatic power is very suitable, as is the intensity, a sign of an abundant proportion of aroma, combined with a level of PG highlighting the amplitude of the flavors.

For an optimal evaluation, it is with a dripper (Wasp Nano) at 0,4Ω (flat Clapton mono coil: “flatwire” or Flapton) that I undertook the taste evaluation of this review. A cellulose fiber (Holly Fiber) and 30W of power to start with a cold vape, constituted an experiment which proved conclusive and perfectly possible all day long. The flavors are well restored, the vape is sweet, the length in the mouth satisfactory, with a hit however very little marked, even for a 3mg / ml.

At 35W the vape begins to cool, it is not unpleasant and the taste sensations are similar as above.
40W a warm and similar vape in quality, this time is accompanied by a slightly more pronounced hit.
From 45W to 50W it is personally the vape that I prefer, even though, these powers provide a lukewarm to lukewarm vapor, the flavors are more frankly restored and the hit is finally felt.
This juice holds the heat well beyond the powers agreed for a given resistance, however I would tend to advise against these differences for 2 reasons:
Your consumption will be increased and the taste quality is not improved in any way, the balance is broken in favor of licorice, the relative freshness is absent, even if the quantity of steam produced will be significantly higher, n ' not expect to compete with a 70% VG.

With a tight-draft atomizer, the vape is just as pleasant, much less greedy in quantity consumed, to be recommended to first-time vapers who have passed the tobacco course.

This juice, due to the proportions of its base, is quite suitable for proprietary resistors with a small volume heating chamber, which are found in MTL draft atomizers. Little deposit of non-vaporized material contributes to the longevity of the coils, as well as to the quality of the taste result over time. Liquorice Intense is therefore one of these liquids "sparing" in consumable material.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Aperitif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.05 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

To finish with this reference, I insist on the fact that we are in the presence of a typed mono-aroma juice, of good quality, more particularly adapted to the newcomers in the vape and of course, to the followers of the liquorice flavors / anise. The score obtained is a little undervalued for this unpretentious premium and entry-level all day potential, it could have risen to 5,50 if certain graphic and palpable details had been presented otherwise. This assembly is finely designed and produced, it offers a very honorable quality of vape, without emphasizing the quantity of steam.

Balanced, efficient and faithful to the expected sensations, it is a frankly successful preparation which should suit fans of the genre, it is still there the essential for us vapers. Its price remains modest, it is a French product, available in many shops, it is worth in my opinion, the (relative) trouble that we try to perhaps adopt it.

Nhoss still has some surprises to present to you on their site, I did not mention them during this review, but there would nevertheless be some interesting points to mention, such as for example the "paid" recycling of your used vials ...

I wish you all an excellent vape, thank you for your attentive reading, to one of these next days.
