Comments on the packaging
The Original Silver range of the crazy Parisians of Fuu is a collection dedicated to e-liquids for beginners or confirmed. The so-called Classic part is devoted to the exploration of the various universes of tobacco and Old Elboeuf is one of them.
Available in 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16mg / ml of nicotine, the entire range is built on a 60/40 PG / VG basis. The level of vegetable glycerin is preserved on the final assembly because elements such as water, aromas or nicotine rather impinge, in this case, on the level of PG. A choice aimed at maintaining a certain density of vapor and undoubtedly taking advantage of the naturally sweet aspect of VG to refrain from adding sweeteners.
The price of 6.50 € for 10ml is slightly above the market average for this type of product. But, as very often, there is also a notion of quality / price ratio which must intervene to justify or invalidate the proposed tariff. The tasting will therefore be all the more decisive.
So let's start by undressing this juice ...

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Logos? Check. Warnings? Check. Triangle? Check, one on the label, one on the cap. Notice? Also check. Composition? It's clear. Batch number, DLUO? Check, I'm telling you.
But then is it perfect? Well yes, that's perfect. Damned, did we come with the salad basket for nothing then? Well if you want my opinion, salads, it is not them who sell them but rather those who send us….

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The packaging is simple, not revolutionary but has been optimized for the price range taking into account the legal content opposites.
The dark gray PET bottle is classic but effective for filling your atomizers. The dropper is rather thin, which allows him to creep everywhere, the rascal, and dispense his saving potion.
The label, black and silver, printed on metallic paper is beautifully elegant and exudes a haute couture class, more design than artistic. It's nice, rewarding and in line with the Parisian manufacturer who has always made significant efforts on the presentation of its products.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Good comrade, the Old Elboeuf is very nice to vaper. And above all, he is just aiming to reach his target: former brown smokers starting in the vape.
Indeed, we have here a dark tobacco, deep, thick but rounded all the same by the presence of a high ratio of vegetable glycerin which gives it a rather attractive sweet taste.
Rather faux-hard than brutal, it presents notes of clove and hints of leather and cocoa which give it a certain complexity and a beautiful elegance. First-time vapers used to Git… s or Gau… ..s will not be disoriented and will even have the chance to experience the real flavor of the unburned plant.
The recipe is smart, brown but very restrained and therefore imbued with a certain form of subtlety. A good number.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Ideal in a good tight clearomizer intended for beginners, the Old Elboeuf can also be installed very well in a reconstructable and ensure a completely satisfactory vape session. In this type of atomizer, it will increase in power and discover its secondary notes at a lukewarm temperature that will suit it perfectly.
The steam is quite abundant for the ratio and the hit, although soft, remains present.

My mood ticket on this juice
This Old Elboeuf is convincing.
Destined primarily for a secular public coming from the French-style cigarette, it remains typical and racy while presenting a good roundness that places it in a context finer than its models. An excellent first step towards the vape therefore for this reference which completes a rich range and provided with good elements.
The confirmed will probably find it too simple but I do not see that as a disadvantage taking into account its target audience. There is certainly something for all tastes but also (and above all) for all levels. It is at this price that vaping will develop in our country.
