Comments on the packaging
The packaging of the Mango-Apricot liquid is not really consistent with the name of the juice except perhaps the color gradient under the name of the liquid.
The product is packaged in a flexible plastic bottle with a tip that unclips so you can easily add a nicotine booster.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The Mango-Apricot liquid is a fruity type juice. When the bottle is opened, the fruity aromas of apricot and mango are perfectly well felt, the scents are relatively soft and sweet, even delicately scented. At this level, they seem to be evenly distributed in the development of the recipe.
The aromatic power of the flavors making up the recipe is very present in the mouth. Mango and apricot have a relatively faithful taste rendering. A well-scented mango with subtle floral notes and an apricot also well transcribed with its light tangy notes enhance the whole.
The composition is also very sweet without however becoming sickening, the juicy aspect of the recipe is also well perceived.
The fresh notes of the recipe are very present and real, the freshness is well felt in the throat during the tasting, the latter is well dosed and is not too “aggressive”.
The liquid is quite soft and light, the homogeneity between the olfactory and taste sensations is perfect.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Mango-Apricot tasting was carried out with 10ml of nicotine booster to obtain a juice at the rate of 3mg/ml. The cotton used is Holy Fiber from HOLY JUICE LAB. The vape power is set to 38W so as not to have too “hot” vapor.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is quite soft, the hit obtained is rather average, the fresh notes of the recipe seem to accentuate it somewhat because they are already well felt during the passage in the throat.
On expiration, the fruity flavors of the mango are the ones that appear first thanks in particular to the particular taste rendering of the very faithful fruit, the subtle floral notes of the fruit are also well felt. The apricot then arrives, bringing both a few weak tangy touches and a certain sweetness to the whole. The association of the two fruits is relatively soft and very sweet, the juicy notes are present.
The fresh notes are present throughout the tasting and seem to accentuate a little at the end of the expiration.
This liquid can be suitable for any type of material, as for the type of print chosen, I prefer a restricted type print which allows me to slightly attenuate the fresh notes of the composition.

This mixture is pleasant and pleasant in the mouth, the mango and the apricot have a fairly realistic taste rendering, the juicy notes are palpable, the mango is also expressed by its subtle floral touches, the apricot by its light acidulous notes , it also contributes to soften the whole.
The mango is expressed especially at the beginning of the session while the apricot appears at the end of the expiration, it is there moreover that its taste rendering is the most pronounced.
The fresh notes of the composition are very present throughout the tasting, very real fresh notes but without being too “violent”.
The recipe is also very sweet, however this last note is not disgusting.
