Comments on the packaging
Licorice…
In rolls, in roots, in powder in straws, in candy... let's not lie to ourselves, it will have rocked our childhood years. Whether we remain fans of Car en Sac©, Fisherman's Friend© or the cachous Lajaunie© or whether we are completely sealed off from her inimitable taste, she cultivates an ambivalence that suits her complexion well.
Besides, it already starts with his name. Do we say licorice or licorice? There are supporters of the first choice and those of the second. The truth is that licorice, as a plant, is a feminine word. But even Larousse agrees that in usage, we can say a licorice when we are talking about a confectionery. The beauty of French! Ambivalence or probably the first non-gendered term?
In any case, Licorice is also available at Taffe-elec, in cash please. And, if you are like me, this is information that may interest you.
Only in 10 ml format, it is available in several nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6 and 11 mg/ml.
Wisely seated on a 50/50 PG/VG base, ideal for carrying everywhere, from the MTL pod to the sassy DL clearo, it is offered at the price of €3.90. Suffice to say that at this price, there is no point in risking cavities by chewing candy!
But that's not all, I feel like I'm going to have a very regressive taste trip. That’s good, it’s been a long time!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Well, as usual, there is nothing to complain about in this chapter. It's even intoxicating. Not the slightest flaw, everything is as square as possible, legal as hell! No matter how much I examine the bottle, nothing sticks out.
So much the better for consumer safety, too bad for my sadistic impulse. I'll have to find an animal (small if possible) to mistreat! 🤪

Comments on the packaging
I generally love the packaging of Taffe-elec. Here, it's a little less true. We have a gray background with a spiral on it, supposed to symbolize a roll of licorice. I understand the concept but I find the brand's other 10 ml references generally more successful.
It's not a big deal, we don't vape the label! Moreover, as is customary, it unfolds and displays a 100% on the delicate test of the visibility and relevance of the information.
So, we are good!

Comments on the taste of the juice
From the first puff, I find myself in the shoes of the food critic in the film Ratatouille when he tastes the dish of the same name! A powerful feeling of déjà vu, a direct return to childhood. So I will try to be as precise as possible.
Do you know the Stoptou? These candies from La Pie qui Chante© as black as coal and surrounded by transparent paper with red ears?
Well, that’s EXACTLY it!!! And I couldn't be clearer!
We therefore find a dark and sweet licorice, which blends harmoniously with a note of star anise and an almost imperceptible hint of mint. It's incredibly realistic and simply delicious.
It must have taken many attempts to achieve such astonishing reproduction fidelity and the recipe is weightless. If you like licorice, this is the juice for you, period. If you don't like licorice, maybe you will like Licorice?

My mood ticket on this juice
In general, Taffe-elec liquids are very good and inexpensive. With Licorice, we're still cheap but what's more, we're sure of something more than perfect! It's simple, it will be difficult to find an equivalent liquid in another brand. Something not to hold back if you like it!
Top Vapelier of course but a little rant towards Taffe-elec: how come such a liquid does not exist in 50 ml? Do you want my skin or what???
