Comments on the packaging
The jars of this Buccaneer's Juice range and this Monkey Island are made of glass. This is tinted to guarantee UV protection and will therefore preserve the contents.
The stopper is fitted with a glass pipette which has a fine tip at its end to ensure easy filling of the various atomizer reservoirs.
The nicotine levels offered range from 0 to 16 mg / ml through 3, 6 & 11 mg / ml. A good point for the manufacturer, who does not ignore the more substantial dosages.
Dosed in 50/50 PG / VG, the range concerns all categories of vapers and the vast majority of atomization devices.
The fare is in the entry-level category, at 8,90 € the 15 ml.
Finally, it should be noted that Avap - C Liquique France declines its juices in 15 or 30 ml

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 
Comments on the taste of the juice
If there is no problem with the smell, with the frank scents of caramelized bananas, it is different with the vape.
In the vaporization test, there is a first observation. The aromatic power is really light; which did not let guess the olfactory aspect.
With a suitable assembly and power (which I will indicate to you in the next chapter), we arrive at improvements but it is really light.
And it's all the more unfortunate that Buccaneer's Juice's approach to this recipe is quite interesting.
"Can you escape from Monkey Island? Ode to greed and taste buds, this eliquid Buccaneer's Juice is characterized by a delicious caramel which is a subtle banana flavor."
The mixture is interesting because the banana, often dominant in e-liquid recipes, is here totally in harmony with the caramel. Besides, to taste, I feel more like milk jam than pure carmel. It is delicate and soft.
The banana approach is also relevant. As I said before, it fits perfectly into that creamy caramel sensation without breaking away from it. A bit as if it had been directly caramelized with a little sugar.
With such a taste base and such a blend, how not to be disappointed. I have the impression that the percentage of aromas is well below the usual standards of the brand ...
I do not incriminate the dosage of vegetable glycerin, since at 50/50 and given the result of the other references, that does not constitute a problem. Steepage? Neither, since we are in deficit of developed flavors.
No, really, I don't see ...
Of course, the mouthfeel is consistent with the aromatic power of the blend; disappearing in the exhalation of a volute of vapor.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
As deplored in the previous chapter, the Monkey Island is in great deficit of aromatic power.
It's simple, at 30W, I had the impression of vaping from the base.
Going down the resistance value (0.36Ω) and increasing the power to 60W, I managed to get more likes. On the other hand, the operating window is reduced, because at 75W I noticed a juice which lost a large part of its strengths and especially its consistency ...
In all configurations, steam production is dense.
Of course the hit is very light, or even nonexistent in the case of this evaluation with 6 mg / ml.
Recommended Moments

My mood ticket on this juice
The result is good in absolute terms because the taste aspect is only partially involved in the final rating.
Only, this Monkey Island had to be a “Top Juice”, without the slightest dispute.
Why ? Because the ingredients are really there to smell, but especially for the approach of flavorists in the preparation of the recipe. It is to say the least relevant and particularly successful.
But there you have it… The aromatic power is very weak. The juice develops its aromas within a too narrow range of use. The taste in the mouth takes the expiration time of a volute of vapor, it does not last in any case. The hit is very light and there remains this impression of a large deficit in percentage of aromas ...
This is all the more unfortunate since I have already evaluated five recipes from the manufacturer and have never encountered this problem; it is well below the usual standards of the brand.
I can't believe Buccaneer's not stepping in. Because believe me, well dosed, with this blend and the balance obtained, Monkey Island would be a killing in the world of gourmets.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
