Comments on the packaging

Again in the Flavor Art catalog, today we are going to evaluate a juice from the gourmet range (Sweet).
The recipe of the day will be the Jamaïca Special, the title of which already invites us to travel.
As a reminder, if the Flavor Art brand and juices are of Italian origin, distribution in France is ensured by the company Absotech.

Packaged in 10 ml in transparent plastic vials, they have a fine tip at the end and an unusual stopper.
PG / VG ratio of 50/40, the remaining 10% being reserved for any nicotine, aromas and distilled water.
Nicotine level ranging from 0, 4,5, 9 to 18 mg / ml. These dosages are identifiable by caps of different colors:
Green for 0 mg / ml
Light blue for 4,5 mg / ml
Blue for 9 mg / ml

The price of 5,50 € 10 ml positions the juice in the category of entry-level.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5 4.1 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The security system of the cap is original, although I am not convinced of its effectiveness outside the breakable tongue that serves as security for the first opening.
All the labeling is complete and in accordance with the legislation ... but that of before January 2017. We will not complain to the manufacturer since we received the different ranges before promulgation of the current TPD.
However, if the whole meets the ISO 8317 standard, the absence of certain pictograms replaced by text, already widely present, does not satisfy me. It's messy and it still feels like it's all there because there was no other choice.
Note, however, the effort of the brand, which offers us juices without alcohol and other banned substances. A date and a lot number and the coordinates of the place of manufacture and those of distribution.

 

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 line with the price category: Could do better for the price

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The packaging is basic, without any particular power of attraction. As the notion of incentive is also absent, this is enough to satisfy the legislator ... Except that competition is doing much better, despite the current constraints imposed by the health directive and the small surface area available.

 

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
  • Definition of odor: Sweet
  • Definition of taste: Sweet, Light

  • Did I like this juice ?: No
  • This liquid reminds me: Nothing precise

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 3.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

As almost always with this production, the percentage of aromas is so low that it is very difficult to feel anything emanating from this Jamaican Special.

As usual with all the juices that I have to taste and even more with those to be evaluated for the Vapelier, I start with a blind tasting. This recipe is not a first for a production of the transalpine brand, I am starting to know the assemblies that allow the development of some flavors ...

In fact, not much is happening. I suspected that a recipe evoking Jamaica would give pride of place to a sweet blend, but I needed the description to know that it was rum.
The least that we can say is that you do not risk being “drunk”. At most I feel the sweet taste, as I manage to convince myself that finally there must be some reminiscences of the famous alcohol.

It's a shame because the vapor production is in accordance with the dosage, but out of decency I prefer not to talk about the aromatic power aroused or the hold in the mouth.
No surprise, however, with the hit, which seems to match the announced dosage.

My mood ticket on this juice

I have already had the opportunity to tell you this on numerous occasions. Designing and producing a juice is not that simple and it requires a lot of different and varied investments.
To plant on a reference? It can happen even to the best.
Contrary to popular belief, dezero a juice does not bring us any satisfaction.
Only after a dozen productions made in Flavor Art, I do not know what to say ...

It is neither good nor bad.
E-liquids are not expensive.
But where is the interest? Address first-time vapers? Only at this level, it is taking the risk of sending them back to this damn bundle of cigarettes ...
It seems to me that the sign is a train late. There is also safe today. Also inexpensive but so much better ...

See you soon for new hazy adventures,

Marquolive

About the Author

Follower of the tobacco vape and rather "tight" I do not balk in front of good greedy clouders. I love flavor-oriented drippers but am very curious about the evolutions of our common passion for personal vaporizers. Good reasons to make my modest contribution here, no?
