Comments on the packaging

Small detour through Ontario to continue to discover this Twelve Monkeys brand which is gradually creeping into the panorama of liquids that matter. What to be afraid of and to fear a scenario in “The planet of the Apes” dear to Pierre Boulle…

Today, it's the Mangabeys' turn to use the hat machine. The Mangabey is therefore a monkey native to the forests of Africa. But in this case, the species that interests us this evening is an e-liquid with a beautiful yellow hue that appears to us like a tropical fruit cocktail.

We find the same desire of the brand to display a beautiful transparency and it is clear that this is not bad. Personally, I would have preferred a more visible VG rate because this seems to me to be essential information. It is there but it will require research, a magnifying glass, a microscope, and patience.

Interesting to see on the other hand that Twelve Monkeys adapts their VG level according to the recipe (between 70% and 90%), which does not seem so incongruous. On the contrary, it testifies to the brand's desire to optimize each reference in terms of its taste and / or texture.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

One more effort and it will be perfect!

It lacks the contact of an after-sales service, always interesting, in addition to the present batch number, in case there is a problem of conservation of the juice. The pictogram is included in the design of the packaging but does not comply with European standards.

To those who would retort because there are still some: “who cares, we don't vape a standard?” I would kindly answer that in May 2016, they will vape what they can. Pinpointing a product's safety or compliance issue is not a pleasure, it's just the choice we made in order to push manufacturers to be TPD-Ready and invite stakeholders in the chain. commercial to weigh so that North Americans, among others, make this effort so that we can continue to vape their juice after May 2016. Either we do nothing and say nothing and we will vaporize Jai with relish, or we talk, we educate, we learn and we move the lines. Everyone has their own choices, but don't come and cry later ...

The pictogram for the visually impaired is also missing, a legal obligation in France. We invite importers and even shops to add if necessary a simple label with the mandatory information and the visually impaired pictogram when the manufacturer does not do so. It is not expensive and it will save you a lot of trouble with the DGCCRF.

Comments on the packaging

The packaging is common to the entire range. Only a few color codes change. It's nice, cheerful and well done. The concept of sailing among our simian cousins ​​is nice and has a vintage aspect reminiscent of old Hollywood movies where the hero makes his way through the hostile jungle with a machete to go and snatch the beautiful blonde heroine from the clutches of a cannibal tribe. or a giant gorilla. I agree!

A colored bottle or treated anti-UV would be better able to protect the precious liquid but do not sulk our pleasure, the packaging is successful.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Excellent e-liquid from our Canadian friends. On the palate there is a cocktail of tropical fruits where a pineapple Victoria, a juicy mango and touches of ripe guava appear. The taste is compact, homogeneous and perfectly greedy. The realism of the aromas is for many, the quality of the setting in recipe too because none of the constituent elements steal the show to others.

But there is also, undoubtedly underlined by the high level of vegetable glycerin, an undeniable creamy texture which sensually carries the fruity cocktail towards a less simple gluttony than it seems.

It's sweet with care, no caricature and totally addicting. Really an excellent vintage!

My mood ticket on this juice

A fruity delicacy, balanced and quite long in the mouth, we hold with the Mangabeys a perfect liquid for lovers of exotic fruits.

It's good, it makes a heavy and dense vapor and some sweet reminiscences stick to the lips, communicating to us the irresistible temptation to return to it. A very tasty e-liquid whose recipe has been carefully thought out to highlight each of the aromas that compose it without interfering with the others.

Definitely, Twelve Monkeys intrigues and convinces, more reason to give this brand the concrete elements to continue selling their delights on the old continent.
