Comments on the packaging
The King 3BK, from the Blend Freaks range from Freaks Factory, is a tobacco type e-liquid, slightly gourmet.
50 ml of aroma in a container that can accommodate 60, that leaves us room for the addition of a booster or 10 ml of neutral base, because this liquid is ZHC, that is to say very concentrated in aroma , and must be at least diluted. For 3 mg/ml of nicotine, you will need to add a 20 mg/ml nicotine booster. To vape it at 0 mg/ml, adding 10 ml of 50/50 neutral base will do just fine and, if you want to vape it at 6 mg/ml, it is still possible but you will have to transfer it into a other container. Beyond 20 ml of additional products, the dilution will be too great and you will lose too much taste.
The King 3BK is assembled on a PG/VG ratio of 50/50. You will find this reference in several formats, the only thing you have to do is to choose which one will be at your convenience. The 10 ml format, with 0, 3 or 16 mg/ml of nicotine is available at an average price of €4.90. The 50 ml vial version is 17.90 €. A concentrated version, to make your own e-liquid (DIY) of 30 ml, will cost 12.90 €.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
At Freaks Factory, security and legal matter, everything is correct. We can deplore the absence of certain pictograms but the authorities do not require manufacturers to put them. It is therefore up to the manufacturer to decide whether he wishes to affix them or not. At Vapelier, we appreciate that these pictograms appear, given that these liquids are intended to be boosted. Let's move on.

Comments on the packaging
The visual of the King 3BK is simple and minimalist but in the standard compared to the price charged. It is bright copper in color, which refers to the hue of the dried tobacco leaf, on a classic solid white. You will notice the presence of a graduation bar of the number of milliliters of juice remaining in the vial, it is located in the transparent space between the two vertical edges of the label. Practical and well thought out!

Comments on the taste of the juice
Let's see if the King 3BK has similar qualities to the reference assumed in its name (the Tribeca, for those who missed it). The blond tobacco is quite dry in the mouth, nervous and not very sweet. The vanilla touch is very subtle and only appears if you look for it. It exists but the taste of tobacco, very pronounced, takes over. As for the nuts advertised, they are present and pleasantly flavor the puff.
On inspiration and exhalation, I feel the same flavors: a very present dry tobacco, ethereal vanilla touches and a slight rise in power of roasted nuts, which perfume our taste buds. Too bad the recipe is not sweeter, the tobacco more mature. That's why at the beginning of this review, I marked this e-liquid as "slightly greedy". For my personal taste, a bit of sweetness would have been welcome even if I understand the old school aspect sought.
Boosted with 3 mg/ml of nicotine, I found the hit paradoxically light, more worthy of a 1.5 mg/ml and the vapor obtained is rather dense compared to other similar juices with the same PG/VG rate.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For this tobacco flavor, vape as you like. Tight draw (MTL), air draw (DL and/or restrictive DL), it will only depend on your desires. However, prefer a warm / hot temperature, traditionally used to highlight the plant.
For my part, I tested this liquid on a pod, in order to have the feeling of a beginner who would like to stop smoking or get rid of his last cigarettes.
Personally, I liked this juice, it would be a lie to say the opposite. Although not a fervent fan of tobacco-type flavors, I found it pleasant to vape occasionally, on an espresso, after a meal or in the evening in front of the TV. This juice is a very good compromise to wean off the last somewhat recalcitrant analog cigarettes.

My mood ticket on this juice
I have good tobacco in my atomizer, I have good tobacco and you won't get any. Well, that's up to you after reading this review.
With a score of 4.01/5 on the Vapelier protocol, the King 3BK remains a good e-liquid, which pays homage to a myth of tobacco liquids with some success. This blond tobacco, with a dry-hot character, has a great card to play with beginners, both in terms of its taste and its price, in order to wean oneself completely.
Good vape!
