Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
TPD or not, VDLV is an example and a major player in the safety and security of the e-liquids we spray.
If the score is weighted by the presence of distilled water (Milli-Q) whose harmlessness is proven, the rest is perfect.
Note that the batch was sent to me several weeks ago (2016) and that “my” images are not contractual since the bottles have since been delivered with the famous label with scrolling and repositionable information.

In a castrating context where any incentive / promotion to consume juice is prohibited, the Bordeaux manufacturer is doing it with honors.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Unsurprisingly, this Polar Mint meets all the arguments we are entitled to expect from a juice of this caliber. Its icy breath drawn from the heart of the icebergs of the far north is devastating. Its aromatic power is of the expected level and the rather long lasting palate is fresh and minty.
The hit is substantial, even for the 3 mg / ml that I received for this evaluation.
Tasting recommendations
- Recommended power for optimal taste: 30 W
- Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
- Hit type obtained at this power: Strong
- Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Zénith & Subtank mini
- Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.65
- Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Cotton
Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Considering the volume of charges, a dripper is not the best device to vaporize this juice, unless you like the “little bit strong”.
Very successful with first-time vapers, I favored a “basic” clearomizer that sticks as closely as possible to reality and to the use that will be made of it.
With a high aromatic power, I also consider that the highest temperatures will not suit it.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Late evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.26 / 5

My mood ticket on this juice
This Polar Mint from Cirkus is among the biggest sales of many retailers of the brand. He therefore has nothing more to prove to convince.
Nevertheless, not all vapers can know him.
Know that the recipe is effective and that your expectations of this type of flavors will be met.
Another argument and not the least, the safety of VDLV productions. The manufacturer did not wait for the legislator to intervene to establish a safe and sanitary framework for its e-liquids.
The tariff? At 5,90 € the 10 ml it is in the category of entry-level.
On the other hand, its ratio of PG / VG to 50% of vegetable glycerine sets it apart from its main competitors with less balanced proportions.
Long live the vape and live the free vape,
Marquolive
