Comments on the packaging
Buccaneer's Juice pirates aren't afraid of anything. They aren't even impressed with this Kraken. Yet the creature from the abyss sows terror. It is even said to be capable of seizing the hull of a ship to capsize it, sink it, drown sailors in order to devour them… This story is cold in the back. But is this Kraken going to capsize me?
Already, I succumb to conditioning. I find the manufacturer's approach relevant with this proposed choice of 15 or 30 ml, although this should not last very long with the future implementation of the TPD. The bottle is made of tinted glass to protect the potion and fitted with a pipette cap to facilitate the supply of juice to the equipment.
The ratio is 50/50 PG / VG and the nicotine levels range from 0 to 16 mg / ml without skipping the intermediate dosages 3, 6 & 11 mg / ml.
Prices are very competitive for so-called “Premium” liquids since they are at entry level: € 8,90 for 15 ml.

Comments on the taste of the juice
On the nose, blind without any reference I feel a complex mixture. A fruity base predominantly lemony with cereals. But by insisting, instead of becoming clearer the opposite is happening, disturbing my feelings. The fruity seems much more difficult than a lemon base to the point that I wonder even if it is ...
Once is not custom, I decide to go through the description of Buccaneer's before tasting.
"Let yourself be caught by the fruity delights of the cereals of your childhood. The Kraken e-liquid will take you to the deepest abysses of gluttony, a slightly acidic and sweet mix to crack the most greedy pirates. "
Ok. I'm no further ahead. It's because trying to make the most faithful transcription possible I almost finished the vial. And I still don't know. I never imagined that pirates could be so “tricksters”.
This recipe is very well balanced, its aromatic power, its behavior and the presence in the mouth are perfectly dosed.
I finally opt for a cereal base serving as a support. Not very present but delicate and well proportioned. For the rest, either I never ate the cereals mentioned in reference, or I got lost on the way to my papillary evaluations. For this tangy side I confirm my feeling of a lemon aroma. But there is something else, it is indisputable.
Despite this tangy aspect, I also feel a touch of sweetness without knowing if it comes from the cereal or from a light milk supply.
Anyway this liquid is good. I would even say very good. The flavorists troubled me because I can't find the details of this blend, but the marriage is so well done. We touch here the art of professionals knowing how to master the subtle juggling between the different aromas. These aromas that I further imagine to be of great quality. I repeat, but for me, at this level, it's art.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Difficult to recommend a material or an ideal power as this juice is versatile.
During these tests, I used several rebuildable drippers and atos tanks as well as various assemblies. Each material brings its nuances but the initial sensations endure.
One will increase the cereal side, the other the tangy and fruity side.
This versatility also goes hand in hand with the PG / VG ratio, which is reminiscent of: 50 / 50.
My liquid was 6 mg / ml of nicotine but I found the hit very light for this dosage.

My mood ticket on this juice
Top juice! And not a little. All the criteria of the protocol are green, the different chapters collecting the perfect score or almost.
I knew the quality of Buccaneer's recipes from having acquired them personally. I had overlooked the Kraken because the description did not correspond to “my vape”. What a mistake ! Fortunately, the Vapelier allows me to correct this mistake and especially to make you benefit from the evaluation of a great liquid.
The term “Premium” is really no exaggeration to catalog this recipe. Its blending quality, that of its aromas and all the work done by the team (Avap - C Liquide France is the company making Buccaneer's juices) amply deserves it. Only the price is not “Premium”; I remind you that at € 8,90 for 15 ml we are at the level of entry-level juices.
I am really looking forward to further evaluating the range.
At the beginning of this review, I wondered if the Kraken would make me capsize. I think the answer is clear, right?
And you know what ? Not even afraid of the monster of abyssal depths, na!
Long live the vape and the free vape,
Marquolive
