Comments on the packaging

A look back at the Terrible Cloud Totem range from Nantes. This range, largely inspired by the Indians of North America for its concept, offers us premium liquids at an entry-level price, 5.90 € for 10ml. Good news therefore in these tormented times post-PDT where prices are flying like seagulls on the beach.

The Dream Catcher, named after the well-known object that is supposed to chase away evil spirits when you sleep, comes to us in a traditional PET bottle and includes all of the information needed to guide the consumer in their purchase. .

The liquid, like its colleagues in the range, is assembled on a 50/50 basis with a PG / VG ratio and is available in 0, 3, 6 and 11mg / ml. Enough to cast a wide net for a population of rather confirmed vapers who will be able to appreciate a complex assembly. 

Favorably impressed by the tests of the first references in the range, it is with confidence that I embark on this new taste adventure.

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It all starts with a successful first episode in the hugely crucial field of compliance and security.

Indeed, the bottle has all the safety devices necessary to protect the vapoteur and his offspring: first opening ring guaranteeing the integrity of the product and perfectly functional child safety.

We continue with the waltz of logos, health warnings, addresses and contacts and whatnot so that the bottle meets the wishes of the legislator. Here, everything is prominently displayed, on and under the removable and repositionable label, and all of the mandatory elements are in good order.

A little extra for the visibility of information and their ordering which shows that we can put everything, even on such a small container, without making the text illegible.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

Borrowing from Indian aesthetics, the bottle gives us a stylized totem, tribal limit, which occupies a good part of the label. We therefore stay on topic and the graphics are pleasing to the eye. 

If the symbol is found on all the references in the range, the background color varies in order to be able to identify the different liquids better. The Dream Catcher is therefore adorned with a red background and the inscriptions are in white, which guarantees excellent visibility.

Simple and pretty, the packaging is attractive and stands out compared to other brands that are more cautious about their look.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Here, subtlety prevails. No devastating aromatic power or ultra-pronounced flavors, we stay in the field of the fragrant cloud and the rather pastel taste of Terrible Cloud's magic potion will appeal to those who like discreet liquids.

We have a fairly compact fruit cocktail where the flavors mingle and intermingle to create a unique and evanescent taste. You get used to this subtlety quite quickly, which is accompanied by a beautiful texture of steam and you discover a blend where notes of red fruits and sweet peach emerge from time to time. Here again, roundness and softness seem to be the common thread of the range.

We may regret, if we prefer strong things, that the subtlety is pushed here to its paroxysm. Although very pleasant to vape, the Dream Catcher still lacks a marked character. In return, he will be able to vape at will, never being disgusting. The recipe, in fine balance, allowing itself the luxury of not being too sweet. 

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 35 W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Thick
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Narda, Origen 19 / 22
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.8
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

You should avoid atomizers that are too airy to retain the flavors of the Dream Catcher, as with all liquids with low aromatic power. Likewise, there is no need to send it a lot of power because, even if it resists it well enough, it will not give it additional “peps”.

The steam is quite abundant for the VG rate and the rather mild hit.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - tea breakfast, All afternoon during everyone's activities, End of the evening with or without herbal tea
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.38 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

In the end, if the Dream Catcher is a good liquid in absolute terms, its bias of too much subtlety may unsettle fruity lovers. Although pleasant to vape, we sometimes regret a lack of strength and acidity which would be conducive to giving it a more tempered character.

However, what might constitute a fault can also give it the advantage of never being disgusting. No doubt Terrible Cloud could find the right balance to keep the charming aspect of the juice while giving it a little more presence in the mouth.

A mixed result but which in any case will appeal to lovers of very subtle liquids and there is more than you think.
