Comments on the packaging
Specialist in the production of food aromas in Italy, it is to a Flavor Art totally dedicated to vaping that we owe the potions evaluated here.
Absotech, the brand's distributor for France, sent us different ranges. It is in one of them, the Artists Touch collection, that I choose the Labyrinth in order to evaluate this proposal.
Packaged in 10 ml, the chosen material is transparent PET plastic with a fine tip at the end.
The ratio of PG / VG is established at 50/40, the remaining 10% being devoted to aromas in distilled water and possibly nicotine, the levels of which are distinguished by caps of different colors:
Green for 0 mg / ml
Light blue for 4,5 mg / ml
Blue for 9 mg / ml
Red for 18 mg / ml

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.13 / 5
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Flavor Art bottles are equipped with an original security system and opening of the cap.
The seal of tamper is ensured by a breakable tongue, guaranteeing sure that the vial has never been opened.
Once freed from this step, it is by pressure on the sides at the top of the cap that you will intervene for the opening and the refueling of your atomizers.
While I admit that the system is clever, I nonetheless remain cautious about its real effectiveness with regard to the life of children. Personally, I am not convinced, compared to the good old classic stopper which nevertheless makes a reference in what we consider, “hazardous liquids”… The whole nevertheless meets the requirements of the ISO 8317 standard.
Regarding pictograms and other legal notices. If I note absences on the first (-18 and not recommended for pregnant women), we have to admit that the label gives pride of place to an exhaustive list, but it is difficult to decipher without a magnifying glass.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5
Comments on the packaging
In the chapter relating to packaging, I indicated a differentiation of nicotine levels by the color of the cap. If this solution is interesting for resellers, who can find their way more easily without having to look at the label, the manufacturer must not make any mistakes.
In the case of the juices that I received for this Artists Touch range, if the nicotine level is indeed 4,5 mg / ml, my models have the cap normally reserved for the higher dosage… An error? In any case I advise you to check carefully.
Regarding the visual. It is simple, without any particular power of attraction. As the notion of incentive is also absent, the will of the legislator is respected.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Once again, there is not much going on at the olfactory level.
And yet the poster looks promising: “Sponge cake, vanilla, caramel and a host of fruity notes ... a maze of flavors to explore forever!"
With the vape, it is unfortunately the same thing. There are, according to the description, many flavors but the aromatic weakness is such that you do not feel the different tastes. Admittedly, the whole has a light consistency, sweet and pastry, but the too low percentage of aromas prevents the possibility of separating things.
The hit and the vapor are present, consistent with their respective ratios, but this is not what I expected in terms of taste ...

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
On a 50W dripper on a 0.49Ω resistor, the Labyrinth addresses a few more flavors. Only, I do not think that this use is the one intended for a public of first-time buyers, do not expect to feel it in a cold vapor.
On ato tank, it's a disaster! There are no flavors. At most you have the impression of vaping nicotine base ...

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.7 / 5

My mood ticket on this juice
Once again, disappointment wins out.
Once again, the description of the recipe was enticing.
And once again the potion is sorely lacking in aromatic power. So much so that on an atomizer with a reservoir, it is purely impossible to detect the different flavors. At most you will have the vague impression of a sweet and pastry mixture.
The brand offering concentrated aromas at attractive prices, I encourage you to make the recipe following your own dosages.
Because basically, I think that the juices are not bad, the manufacturer has still gained some notoriety.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive
