Comments on the packaging

The labels of liquids in the Barakka range have the same aesthetic code or only a few data differ, in particular those concerning the list of ingredients.

A four leaf clover can be found on the front side of the label, the logo of the range fits perfectly with the name of this one which means in colloquial language “to be lucky”.

On the back of the label, you will find all the legal and security data in force.

There is also a special place on the label to note the dosage of nicotine achieved as well as the brand of the nicotine booster used, practical and well thought out. Moreover, the tip of the bottle can be unclipped to facilitate mixing.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Mukana liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of watermelon and strawberry with its fresh notes.

When opening the bottle, the fruity and sweet scents are well felt, we also perceive some subtle minty touches and some faint citrus scents.

In terms of taste, the flavors of watermelon are those that stand out best and most in the mouth when tasting. They have a good taste, these fruity flavors seem to be accompanied by weak menthol notes which certainly contribute to the fresh aspect of the composition.

The fruity flavors of strawberries delicately accompany those of watermelon but with a much weaker aromatic power, small touches of citrus are also noticeable, they tastefully enhance the fresh notes caused by the menthol touches.

The liquid also has relatively well balanced juicy and sweet notes, the homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory sensations is perfect, the juice is really light, its tasting is not disgusting.

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 40 W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Light
  • Atomizer used for the review: Flave Evo 24
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.35Ω
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Nichrome, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Mukana liquid being overdosed in aromas, I added for tasting, 10ml of nicotine booster to obtain 60ml of juice dosed at 3mg / ml. The power is set to 40W and the cotton used is Holy Fiber from home HOLY JUICE LAB.

With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is relatively soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are quite light.

When exhaling, the fruity flavors of the watermelon are the ones that express themselves first, a juicy and fresh watermelon thanks to the minty notes that accompany it. The watermelon is then followed by the flavors of the strawberry which are weaker, these fruity flavors contribute in particular to the sweet notes of the recipe.

At the end of the expiration, subtle citrus notes close the tasting by giving a little more “pep” to the whole and seem to slightly reinforce the minty notes.

With a balanced base displaying a PG / VG ratio of 50/50, Mukana liquid can be suitable for any type of material. The liquid being relatively light, I preferred to taste it with a small draw in order to preserve the balance of flavors.

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Aperitif, Lunch / dinner, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, At night for insomniacs

My mood ticket on this juice

Mukana liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of watermelon and strawberry but also with subtle minty and citrus notes.

The fruity flavors of watermelon are the ones that stand out the most when tasting. They also have a good taste and their juicy notes are well perceived. The flavors of the strawberry are much weaker and certainly contribute to the sweet notes of the recipe.

The liquid also has subtle minty touches which contribute to the fresh or rather refreshing notes of the composition, they are delicately enhanced by weak citrus notes at the end of the tasting.

Mukana liquid is really sweet and very light, so tasting it is not disgusting. The fruity flavors of strawberries might have deserved a little more aromatic power to make it a “Top Juice” because they seem to be erased by those of watermelon. It's a shame because the minty notes and the subtle touches of citrus fruit are perfectly balanced and pleasant in the mouth at the end of the expiration.

However, the Mukana liquid remains a good fruity and refreshing juice that can be quite suitable for an “All Day” on any type of material.
