Comments on the packaging

It is with no less than 250 references (divided between e-liquids and concentrates) that Flavor Art has conquered the vape planet. Originally manufacturer and designer of aromas, the Italian brand wasted no time in entering the farandole of e-liquid creators, and today it is one of the essentials of the genre. With products of high sanitary quality, well packaged and its DIY department (do it yourself), the brand has an exclusive French distributor, who offers all of its production online: Absolut Vapor.

The juices are packaged in 10ml PET vials in accordance with the provisions in force from 2017 on volumes containing nicotine. The non-GMO pharmaceutical quality vegetable base is broken down into 3 ratios: 50% PG, 40% VG and 10% aromas of distilled water and possible nicotine. After the 0 we have three rates available: 4,5, 9 and 18 mg / ml.

The flavors used are certified by EFSA for their food quality, they are also prepared for our use (without diacetyl, ambrox and paraben). No dye, additive, alcohol or added sugar in the preparation, so we can consider these liquids safe.

Latakia is a pure product of the brand, this flavor of Syrian or Cypriot origin is obtained by a particular drying process of the tobacco leaves (parboiling over an oak wood fire) which gives it its particular taste. We are on a brown / blond tobacco which has often been declined by manufacturers, to the point of having become like the RY 4 or the Maxx Blend… a classic, of recognized public notoriety.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The bottle is transparent, it does not protect from the rays of the sun, but leaves the level of visible juice. In the upper part the cap is provided with a tab to remove, sign of a first opening. It is closed by an attached hood that you will have to squeeze laterally and lift to reveal a fine-tip dropper.

This technical originality is "approved" but in my opinion poses a concern for reliability, as to its child safety. You will see this for yourself and be careful not to leave your juice vials within reach, this is the best guarantee of safety.

The label is complete in terms of written regulatory information, but 2 pictograms are missing, which will soon be compulsory: prohibited for children under 18 and not recommended for pregnant women.

The whole is a little difficult to decipher because arranged in such a way that the writings are tiny, the small surface area of ​​the 10ml bottles requires a "millipoil" organization.

Anyway, the note in this section is affected only by the presence of distilled water and it is not very bad.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 4.4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Little smell at the opening of the bottle, and a fairly typical taste of tobacco in the mouth, a little sweet and woody enough to honor his description.

However, it is a sweet tobacco to vape, true to the flavor of Latakia tobacco, the sweetness and more. It lacks in my opinion the roughness of a brown, the strength and temperament of a tobacco typed.

It is therefore to a light variety that we will deal, which does not last long in the mouth, when it comes to tobacco of this brand, you start, if you follow the reviews, to be used to these characteristics. At 4,5 mg / ml the hit is light (it too) and normal steam production for a juice with this proportion of VG.

This flavor is however very realistic and rather pleasant to vape, even in a moderately aerated dripper, in warm / warm vape.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 40 / 50 W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Type of hit obtained at this power: Light
  • Atomizer used for the review: Mini Goblin V2
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0,4Ω
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Fiber Freaks Cotton Blend

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Latakia is not afraid of temperature rises, it is you who are going to be afraid of the consequences of a sub-ohm configuration + strong power, certainly the taste is reassured and amplified but your vial will not make you day.

It will therefore be necessary to opt for a compromise that will not please cloud chasers, a quiet vape on single coil material, with tight draw, and a power of 15 to 20% above the "normal" for a hot vape, quite "tasty" and not too much juice consuming.

Clearomizers with proprietary coils around 1 ohm (or even 1,5 or 2) will in my opinion be preferable to more “efficient” materials for this juice.

It will not deposit excessively or quickly on the coil, fluidity and composition without sugar are the main reasons.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - coffee breakfast, Aperitif, End of lunch / dinner with a coffee, End of lunch / dinner with a digestif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.45 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

So I come to the logical conclusion that inspires me the tobaccos of Flavor Art, they are intended for beginners, especially those who will try to part with a bad addiction, and who intend to use an effective tool, with juices allowing them to launch smoothly.

So welcome to the newcomers, you have a choice among the 15 juices of the range of this manufacturer, and if you wish, turn down on the concentrates to make your soup yourself, both for the base and for the aromatic power. (Go soft with aroma dosages, 10% maxi, should not start with poisoning, it's not really the goal.)

Go ahead and share your feelings, there will certainly be questions that will be answered, among the many followers on your site, take advantage of them, good resolutions are topical, with us, you will not miss, good year!

Thank you for your patient reading, excellent vape to all,

See you soon.
