Comments on the packaging
Yuck Research… “A confusing laboratory… shady people… blurry products… and genetic mutations out of control…” Yuck research… quite a program!
Finally a crazy man in the very wise world of vaping. Reading the description of the Parisian brand, I said to myself that the team had to work in a good mood and that their creations had to breathe laughter and controlled shifts. Or not. 6 greedy liquids to their credit, and not the least since they have received recognition from my colleagues at Vapelier during previous tests. This time, it's up to me to sift through the latest one: Lutina Strike.
In a 60 ML flexible plastic bottle, filled to 40 ML, Lutina Strike can accommodate one to two nicotine boosters. The delicate maneuver is facilitated by an ingenious clip-on tip (the groundhog has definitely thought of everything!) The manufacturer insists on the fact that the mixture must reach the fateful bar of 60 ml under penalty of explosion and for the recipe to be correctly dosed in aroma. You will therefore have to complete the mixture with base if you want to vape in 0 or 3 mg / ml. Otherwise, both boosters will work for 6mg / ml.
Lutina Strike is a secret recipe but I know the base HP / VG ratio is 50/50. This ratio allows you to keep a certain balance between vapor and flavor and above all, to be able to use the potion on all materials. Lutina Strike can be found on the black market for € 19,90 but, according to my sources, the price is the same on the Beurk Research site.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The pictograms and the raised triangle are not on the poster because they were not wise. And since their presence is not mandatory when the liquid is free of nicotine, they were told to look elsewhere. Nevertheless, the liquid is made to be nicotine ... The triangle in relief for the visually impaired would have been welcome.

Comments on the packaging
The images on a Beurk Research cover remind me of the serial killer research posters. The portrait of the thug, the madness in the eyes, and below, his name in Courier news font, typewriter style.
For Lutina Strike, Beurk Research chose the smiling face of a grandmother like Aileen Wuornos, famous serial killer. The smile on the lips and the knife on the back.
The design is very nice, quirky, as I like!
Beyond that, all the information necessary for the consumption of this liquid is present and legible.

Comments on the taste of the juice
I did the blind olfactory test with all the suspects in the house. The clues are consistent: it is indeed the hazelnut chocolate spread which has disappeared from the cupboard. There is no doubt about the smell of chocolate powder and hazelnut. The smell is breathtakingly realistic! I feverishly arm my atomizer to check if the taste and smell are found and if the groundhog has done its job.
In fact, it scares me a bit to test Lutina Strike. I'm the type to open a jar of Nut…. and finish it immediately. Hazelnut is the basic flavor. It is felt throughout the puff. Dry, natural, neither toasted nor sweet, it is very well transcribed. Milk chocolate is more of a heart note. We feel the powdery, creamy spread in the middle of the vape. The mixture is done and leaves in the mouth the feeling of having found the beloved jar of chocolate. A real treat.
The aromatic power of Lutina Strike is correct, without being very long in the mouth. Less sweet than the spread, it is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Lutina Strike will be able to steam on all materials thanks to the PG / VG ratio of 50/50. The liquid will therefore pass over all atomizers or clearomizers. I had set my ato to 25 W at the start, but I obtained a better rendering of the flavors around 30 W. The airflow could be opened completely without altering the taste.
As for the most appropriate times to vape it, ask yourself when you feel like eating chocolate. In the morning, at 4 o'clock, in the evening… all the time? So now is the right time. I tested on a coffee in the afternoon, it's a treat.

My mood ticket on this juice
I closed the pot, put the atomizer down and I wondered how the groundhog had managed to lock up Nut…. in a liquid ... I will have to investigate and find this groundhog for her to explain.
Le Vapelier awards a Top Juice to Lutina Strike for the realism of this hazelnut chocolate spread flavor that grows teeth and does not make you fat! The Graal !
