Comments on the packaging
Flavor Art e-liquids are designed and produced in Italy by flavor engineers. Initially, Flavor Art was a food flavor design company that specialized, several years ago, in the manufacture of e-liquids for electronic cigarettes. With its experience in a field where European standards are very strict, its e-liquid is produced under impeccable conditions a few kilometers from Milan in northern Italy.
Currently the plant employs more than 70 people with several automated production lines and manufactures more than 2 vials per month for more than 500 countries. Since the beginning of 000, the factory has been operating 50 hours a day to meet growing demand. Flavor Art is undoubtedly one of the leaders in the sector.
In France, distribution is provided by Absotech, which ensures the best distribution of transalpine products.
In any case, it is thanks to them that in Vapelier we have received plethora of recipes in order to provide you with evaluations.
Italian Relax. Here is the potion of the day and it is already quite a poem.
Packaged in a 10 ml bottle of clear plastic, it is equipped with a fine tip at the end, forming part of the original cap that I have never met so far.
The nicotine levels also change our habits a bit since 4,5 and 9 mg / ml are offered, without omitting the reference without nicotine or the one highest at 18 mg / ml.
The PG/VG ratio is set at 50/40, with the remaining 10% devoted to nicotine, flavors and distilled water.
The price is 5,50 € the 10 ml, to appear in the category of entry-level.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Since the first bottles (2016) that I evaluated of this brand, Absotech, the distributor for France of Flavor Art, has made real and commendable efforts to inform consumers and ensure even more transparency and information on different juices through a revamped website.
Nevertheless, and it is not his responsibility, I do not judge the system of opening / closing the bottle as effective. Like the sum of the legal notices which, if they are present and complete, ignore many pictograms and the clarity of the warnings.
I do not judge the ongoing compliance since the beginning of 2017, knowing that I received my copies before the implementation of the regulations.

Legislation and the size of packaging are constraints that some manufacturers are more successful in eliminating.

Comments on the taste of the juice
And we come to the chapter where the shoe pinches ...
For once, faced with such a lack of olfactory effects, I had to read the manufacturer's description to find out the recipe.
And the disappointment is even greater. Cappuccino announced. Coming from Italians, “The” specialists in this type of beverage, I expected a treat.
The recipe is not bad. She has no taste. The percentage of aromas is so low that it is very difficult to discern anything.
So of course, with all the devices at my disposal, various tests of coils, capillaries, etc ... I really seemed to perceive some flavors but I don't think the brand's client wants to do the same. In a “classic” clearomizer with ready-made resistance… I admit, I didn't have the courage to try it…
Pity. The volume of vape is substantial for the 40% of vegetable glycerin, the vapor is very white, the hit corresponds to the announced dosage… All that is missing is aromas.

My mood ticket on this juice
Now is the time to wrap up, and believe it or not, it's never easy when a juice hasn't left you satisfied.
Whether you like the recipe or not, it represents heavy investments whether in time, energy or more pragmatically in money. A manufacturer cannot afford such an approach and never does so.
But the result is not there, it is obvious. This “Italian Relax” does not offer much. The recipe is tasteless and I don't see what can be found in it.
Out of respect for the number of people working in the production and distribution of Flavor Art, I give it an above average score (3.28 / 5) for arguments evaluated by our protocol, but the average taste is not reached. ...
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
