Comments on the packaging
Kon'nitchiwa!
This introduction seemed to me of situation because today, we are going to linger our taste buds on an e-liquid called K-Shiman, translatable by something like “at the border” in the Japanese language. We owe this very Asian potion in the spirit to C-Liquide France which therefore connects the north of France to the island of Fujiyama with a single stroke of the pen and the crazy hope of having an innovative e-liquid there. invades us from then on.
K-Shiman comes in a 50ml bottle without nicotine but you can add 10ml of booster to obtain 3.33mg / ml. The price, set at 21.90 €, is more than correct and places this product in the entry level while, obviously, the claim of the brand is to provide us with a premium juice.
Developed around a 40/60 PG / VG base, the liquid takes place in a Chubby-type bottle, which is enclosed in a cardboard box quite judicious and abundant perfectly in the spirit of Premium claimed.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The manufacturer has long taken the fold of transparency and therefore proposes a faultless in this regard. Everything here smells of perfection.
The liquid being devoid of nicotine, we will therefore not find the usual anxiety-inducing pictograms but the label reminds us of common sense precautions. Prohibition for minors, do not leave within the reach of children… this type of warning for the most suicide bombers among us! Fortunately, the brand makes things easier for us by automatically providing a secure cap for our offspring.

Comments on the packaging
Carried by the Japanese spirit of his surname, the aesthetic is very elaborate and perfectly realized.
K-Shiman K is a Japanese calligraphy, worthy of Shodo and is cut on a metallic label or appear, in shadow, the cut of Mount Fujiyama, cherry branches and a torii.
All the important elements symbolizing the empire of the rising sun are therefore present, clearly enhanced by the expert hand of an inspired designer. Something to make the eyes want before tasting. A traditional path but still terribly effective.

Comments on the taste of the juice
I searched for a long time to find out how to translate “Fuck that's good” into Japanese, but Google Trad does exactly like me when it comes to translating a typically French expression into good Japanese: it shuts it up!
We are therefore on a very elaborate recipe offering us a blend of soursop, Tochigi strawberry, pineapple and lychee, according to the sales leaflet.
Indeed, as soon as the first puff takes in the mouth, a strong note of slightly flowery bubble gum reminds us of the stringy flesh of the soursop. This aroma forms one body with a fairly watery fruit that is easy to assimilate to the promised lychee.
Secondly, we have a particularly credible mix between a Victoria pineapple and the long-awaited strawberry. This one is soft and finely sweet, thus coming closer to the Tochiotome variety than to the tangy pep of Skyberry. These two varieties are typical of the Japanese strawberry Eden that is Tochigi. (yes, you can be a vaper AND a strawberry lover!)
Even though all the promised elements seem to answer the call, the real achievement is to have crafted such an incredible balance in this recipe. Softness becomes the key word, a soft, flawless softness. All the aromas appear little by little and none seem to cannibalize the others.
Thus, the K-Shiman stands out as obvious, without forcing any line. In the aftertaste, there remains this particular impression of very slight bitterness mixed with the water of a fruit which exacerbates the impression of truth which emerges from the liquid. A delicate touch of freshness also corroborates this sensation.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Admirably served by a base in 40/60 of PG / VG, the K-Shiman deserves the best to give all its fullness. A good single-coil dripper that you will have the elegance not to use too much air or power seemed to me to represent the best compromise.
However, the aromatic power being correct, the liquid will also go very well on RTA, RDTA or even clearomiser typed flavors. Very efficient in MTL, it will lend itself just as well to DL, as long as you do not exaggerate the amount of air.

My mood ticket on this juice
What a pleasure when you test an e-liquid that is different from the others! What happiness when the ramage relates to the plumage and the result is so convincing!
The K-Shiman provides compelling proof that you don't have to follow the recipes that work to get great. On the contrary, taking a risk more surely establishes the trajectory of a brand and opens up new taste horizons for all vapers.
C-Liquide France had already earned its stripes as a manufacturer. With this liquid, he takes a certain leadership as a precursor. A certain vision of the future that is heartwarming!
Mata itsu ka.
