Comments on the packaging

After half of the “Black Edition” range, it is clear that the numbers undoubtedly follow each other but are not alike. And fortunately ! Yet there are obvious commonalities.

They are all assembled on a 50/50 PG / VG ratio basis. They all come in four levels of nicotine: 0, 3, 6 and 12 mg / ml. They all benefit from a very neat presentation and they are all offered at an entry-level price generally noted of 5.90 €. 

However, a common genetics has been grafted to this resemblance so far. They are all treated in the same gourmet way, whether fruity or tobacco. So I wonder what N ° 5 is preparing for us, he has an interest in ensuring especially that he borrows his surname from one of the jewels of French perfumery!

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

We find with pleasure an elegant and very informative conditioning that does not make any impasse on the rules enacted by the law.

Thus, we find information, both on the bottle and on the box, which all point in the direction of a conformity that I can only qualify as perfect. The three mandatory logos are present, as well as the triangle for the visually impaired. The laboratory contacts are also present as well as a telephone number in case of concern as well as a valid DLUO and a batch number.

I am interrupting here this Prévert-style inventory which provides nothing other than the demonstration that Liquidarom has worked on its subject to perfection so as not to incur the wrath of the zealous servants of the administration.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

From the start of my tests of the range, I liked this packaging and it still is.

Box and bottle highlight an imagery inherited from the 30s in the USA and the production has skillfully bent to this exercise in style. It's beautifully sober but it's still very evocative and you can almost hear Lauren Bacall's hoarse voice whispering in Bogart's ear… Between graphic curls inherited from the 20s and an assumed cinematographic style tending towards the 40s, everything perfectly identifies the fourteen years when prohibition reigned supreme.

Missing more than an appearance of Capone and here we are!

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 2.5/5 2.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

So much talent in the previous figures do not prejudge unfortunately the taste qualities of the product. And I hate to tell you that I did not find it for my taste.

The pitch of the recipe is quite simple. This is a creamy lemon blend behind which we find rather indistinct fruity elements. So it seemed to me, besides the lemon and a cooked cream, to recognize a distant currant or would it be a raspberry? I do not know. 

But the problem is not there. Any recipe has the right of citizenship, the question does not arise. No, the problem concerns the quality of certain flavors in the assembly. Lemon, for example, is very chemical, both in smell and taste, and the eternal silly comparison to dishwashing liquid comes to mind. No acidity but this bizarre taste characteristic that makes the impression of vaping detergent set in quickly.

But the equation is complicated with the addition of this mysterious aromas of red fruit which, unfortunately, suffers from the same problem. And the two “fruits” don't really go together. Unfortunately, I have to add a slight salty feeling, inherent in my opinion in this cream.

The choices are therefore strange to say the least and, if I hate to say that “it's not good”, I'll just say more objectively that N ° 5 doesn't please me.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

In a reputable RBA or in a dripper which is not less, I find the same characteristics. The vapor is abundant and the hit average. We will get better results in an aerial vape because the juice becomes a little sickening after a while otherwise.

I struggled to set a proper temperature and the power to go with it. But I advise to stay measured, and for both, so as not to denature this liquid.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: All afternoon during everyone's activities

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.98 / 5 4 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

It is difficult to find qualities in an e-liquid that you do not cling to at all.

I can only advise you to test it for yourself in order to get your own idea. The recipe once revealed teaches me the presence of meringue, lemon and forest fruits. But even knowing it, it's hard for me to go the other way because the same taste blockages continue to exist.

The meringue is not at all obvious to me, the lemon remains more chemical than natural and the forest fruits are incapable of spicing it up. At least that's my opinion and I'm not forcing anyone to blindly adhere to it. 

Still, N ° 5 is in my opinion the “outlaw” of the range, the gangster in a way. When I told you that Capone was not far, I did not imagine that it is in the taste that we would find him.
