Comments on the packaging
Recognized and renowned French manufacturer of e-liquids, the Flavor Hit brand was created after several trips to China by its creator, Walter Rei.
A community is born five years later, this community wants to make the world of vaping healthier and give it better taste. The Flavor Hit brand becomes the Flavor Hit Vaping Club.
La Gariguette is a novelty from the “Flavor Hit Essentials” range. The juice is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic bottle containing 50 ml of liquid and can accommodate up to 60 ml after the possible addition of nicotine booster and/or neutral base.
The base of the recipe is balanced with its 50/50 PG/VG ratio. The nominal nicotine level is nil in view of the quantity offered. This rate can reach a value of 3 mg/ml by adding a nicotine booster directly to the vial.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Knowing the reputation of the brand and especially the seriousness in the manufacture of its products, it would have been more than surprising to have any anomaly concerning the legal and security compliance in force.

Exercise perfectly well done by Flavor Hit, it's reassuring and transparent!

Comments on the packaging
The design of the packaging of the liquids in the Essentials range are easily identifiable thanks in particular to the aesthetic code of the labels of the bottles or boxes. Indeed, we find on the front of the label our various informative frames indicating the name of the brand, the name of the juice, its flavors and finally the type of liquid.
This arrangement of data is clear and easily readable, it also offers a certain “class” to the whole.
Little “plus” that I particularly appreciate, the vial has a screw-off tip to facilitate the addition of nicotine booster, a well-thought-out detail and really very practical!
The packaging is well made and finished, it's very clean!

Comments on the taste of the juice
La Gariguette is a fruity with juicy and refreshing strawberry flavors.
The aromatic scents of strawberry are present from the opening of the bottle. I also guess the fresh notes of the composition. The scents are also sweet, the scent of the liquid is really very pleasant and pleasant.
I feel perfectly well the aromatic power of the strawberry during the tasting. A strawberry in all its forms, both well scented and whose aromatic notes are very well transcribed in the mouth and realistic. The spring fruit also has delicate tangy notes reminiscent of wild strawberries.
The juicy strawberry notes are well expressed. The balance of sweet and juicy aspects is very well controlled and pleasant on the palate. The fresh notes in the recipe are mostly subtle notes that aren't too harsh. The dosage is well studied, this delicate freshness even seems to intensify the fruity flavors somewhat at the end of the tasting.
The homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect, the liquid is soft and light.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
With its balanced PG/VG ratio, La Gariguette liquid can be used with most equipment including pods.
A limited draw compensates for the relative sweetness of the liquid and further intensifies the fruity flavors of the strawberry. Indeed, a more airy draw will make its taste less precise, more diffuse, even if it will remain very pleasant overall.

My mood ticket on this juice
A strawberry with a realistic taste is already rare. If as a bonus, you add a controlled freshness, you have a potential best-seller! This is the observation that I can make after tasting this excellent liquid.
I admit I'm not too fond of freshness in general, but there, when it's dosed to perfection, I can only bow down and lay down my arms!
You will certainly have understood that I liked this juice a lot, and there is no doubt that it will satisfy many others, especially if you are a fan of fruity and refreshing juices.
A "Top Vapelier" deserved for La Gariguette for the simple pleasure it brings!
