Comments on the packaging

If you have the pleasure of using the ePen 3 to vape on a daily basis, no doubt you know the multitude of flavors, more than thirty to date, which populate the two available ranges?

Otherwise, be aware that there are indeed two distinct ranges: a range using standard liquid nicotine and a vPro range using instead of nicotine salts whose higher pH allows greater softness of the puff.

Nicotine salts are therefore considered to have less hit, which can help the first steps of great beginners by being softer in the throat. Likewise, it seems that nicotine satiety is acquired more quickly than with traditional base nicotine in view of published research.

It is this range that we are discovering today and, in particular, the Ice Mint whose only reading of the surname was enough to blow all my fillings!

First, a quick overview of the capsule itself. It is dark but translucent, which allows excellent visibility of the liquid remaining inside. It is equipped with a standard resistor in the form of a spring (coil) which is the heating element that will vaporize the liquid. For mathematicians, know that the value of this resistance is established at 2Ω, a high value but conducive to a quiet and very good vape in autonomy.

To lead the liquid to the resistance, the manufacturer uses cotton as a capillary, which guarantees a constant supply of liquid and good respect for flavors.

The tank contains 2ml of e-liquid, which is not only sufficient for a day of use but also complies with the obligations imposed by the legislator. The draft is tight and therefore conducive to the expectations of a smoker who will find the type of draft to which he is used.

The price of 7.49 € for two capsules is correct and competitive. I remind you that for 3.75 € per day, you have your liquid, a new resistance and a new atomizer. This greatly relativizes the seemingly high price per milliliter.

It only remains to discover this Ice Mint to see if its ramage relates to its plumage.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.75 / 5 4.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Once again, the manufacturer makes a point of clarifying the safety and legality of its products. We therefore find all the crucial points to be displayed for the consumer's peace of mind: pictograms, raised marking for the visually impaired, legal warnings, detailed composition. In short, it's almost perfect.

All that is missing is the name of the laboratory producing the liquid to be at 100%, even if this absence is largely offset by the presence of a toll-free number allowing you to be in direct contact with the manufacturer if there is any problem. A great idea!

Appreciation of the packaging

  • 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

The packaging is pragmatic and perfectly suited to its content.

In a small cardboard box, therefore easily transportable, there are two capsules in two locations sealed with a metal blister, the must for the good conservation of liquids.

Note also the presence of a very well done manual which will guide you in your first steps of vaping and will inform you about the use of the capsules.

Even if the presence of a color code makes it possible to differentiate the different capsules, it would perhaps be coherent to note on each capsule the flavor concerned. This would perhaps avoid surprises for users who change flavors during the day. A color code requiring learning, the simple reading of the name remains more efficient.

In the optional accessories offered by the manufacturer, we note the presence of a Pouch to facilitate the transport of the capsules. Thus, being all gathered in the same place and protected from impacts, it becomes easier to switch flavors when you want. Same thing for the ePen 3 and ePod, a case exists to facilitate the transport and especially to protect the device during possible falls.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4/5 4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

It is a simple liquid and, like all simple liquids, it must have represented a lot of study work in order to reconcile flavors, wholesomeness and sensations.

We immediately feel a nice dose of freshness that enters the mouth. It is the strong element of the liquid, certainly menthol based. However, it does not cannibalize the other notes that are discovered after the polar peak.

As a second intention, we therefore find a very realistic peppermint which develops quickly to line the palate on several caudalies. It is the heart note that will last long after the puff and give all its character to the liquid.

Nevertheless, there is also a gourmet and sweet note of vanilla which softens the tasting and subtly imposes an originality that we did not expect. And this is the strength of this liquid: to decline a famous score but with very personal arrangements.

The recipe is clear and clean and the potion is very pleasant to vape, summer and winter, closely mixing cold and hot to better seduce. As often at Vype, it's not too sweet, it's vitalizing and fair.

Appreciation of the juice tasting

  • What kind of hit did you feel? Way

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

This is typically the liquid to vape during special moments when freshness in the mouth becomes a necessity. We can even multiply the effect by drinking a glass of water just after because the length in the mouth of the Ice Mint is quite noticeable.

To vape as is or over green tea or alone, just for a sweet / cuddly moment.

Recommended Moments

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

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

My mood ticket on this juice

Make no mistake, Ice Mint is an excellent liquid that will delight lovers of fresh, minty but not monolithic notes. This juice therefore has its place in the range and seduces in just a few puffs.

Well, that's not all, the Ice Alaska from the same range is eyeing me now, it's time for great frost, I'm putting on my mittens and my anorak!
