Comments on the packaging

No, you're not dreaming and we're not in Back To The Future. We are going to do the review of the Old Nuts well today. But it is not the one you know and which has enchanted gourmet palates since its release. You could even say that the new Old Nuts has arrived!

Indeed, at this time of cool temperatures and pending the expected drought, Moonshiners offers us three new e-liquids placed under the sign of tobacco. Yes, I know, I should say Classic. But as long as we don't talk about Classicologue, classical weaning or Classic Bureau, I consider that I am in my right as a citizen to call things by their name.

3 liquids badged “Bootleg Series”, the first of which is a rehabilitation of the Old Nuts first of the name. And, as we never change, I of course wanted to start with him!

You wanted choice, you're going to get it. Our liquid exists in three distinct versions. First, there is a 10 ml format, sold for €5.90, available in 0, 3, 6, 12 and 18 mg/ml that you will find here. Then, there are also nicotine salt versions, in 10 and 20 mg/ml, at the same price, which is rare enough to be underlined!

Finally, you also have the opportunity to take it in 60 ml in two rates: 3 and 6 mg/ml. In the latter case, you will have either 50 ml of liquid in 0 and 1 booster or 40 ml of liquid in 0 and 2 boosters. And as best can be, the boosters are flavored. So, exit the steep time, you incorporate, you shake, it's ready to vape! And it will cost you 19.90 €, boosters included of course, we are at Moonshiners guys, not at Charles Montgomery Burns.

The base is always 50/50, which is perfect in my opinion to express the best balance between sharpness of flavors and volume of vapor.

One big problem remains, they dared to touch MY Old Nuts! I took out the caliber 12, the telephone number of the CNCT and 20 liters of coffee and I started tasting!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Do we really need to waste time on this? Moonshiners is the fruit of the love between Pipeline and Lips. What do you believe? That they'll stand out brewing their juices in a tub with a deck broom?

No, everything is clear, legal beyond all power, perfectly explained. At this level, it is no longer application, it is an apostolate. Cheer !

  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

Here again, we are on more than perfect. The designer responsible for this work of art should be nominated for an Oscar in the category. Of course, we remain in the smuggler DNA of the brand but with the added class that perfectly suits a tobacco-focused liquid.

Cardboard packaging, brown background on which are cut the indications of the name, the series and the brand, it is square, elegant and it evokes more the velvet armchair of the godfather than the test tubes of the clandestine distillers.

Cozy and rewarding, high-end packaging!

Comments on the taste of the juice

Let's get things straight. I am a fan of the first Old Nuts of the name. Incredibly gourmet in its roundness and almost tasteful perfection, it very often accompanies my moments of relaxation associated with an espresso.

If you're like me, prepare to be surprised. I actually didn't think it was possible to do better. And yet...

The presence of tobacco, an American blend drawing on Virginia but with a hint of Burley to give it power, changes the situation completely. We are faced with a drier, less round liquid, whose gustatory nervousness reveals gourmet notes oscillating between coffee, hazelnut and the famous nougat that we find with pleasure. A touch of vanilla points the tip of its nose to wrap it all up in a comfortable cocoon.

Is it better than the first version which was already very accomplished? That will be up to you to decide, personally. It is less round, less heavy too. The recipe is perfectly successful and hits the mark.

We find indeed all the delicacy that we could have liked in the Old Old Nuts but with an additional boosting effect, giving it without doubt what the first one did not have: the particularity of being able to be vaped at any time of the day and to be an all-day completely accessible to all vapers. However, he does not betray his origins, proves himself worthy of his predecessor and even pays him strong homage.

A real gourmet tobacco, in the best sense of the term.

Given the multiplicity of formats and median viscosity, you can vape it in all devices. I tested it on a Nautilus, on an Atlantis GT, on a Flexus Stick and on a competition dripper and the taste always stands out, whatever the power, or the draw.

To vape all day, even all night, solo or in duo with a hot drink, a pastry, a vanilla ice cream or almost anything you want!

My mood ticket on this juice

Old Nuts is the great story of a small liquid that ended up becoming a bestseller. With the Old Nuts Bootleg Series, we find everything that makes the perfection of the first with the “extra thing” that makes it modern, nervous, addictive and never boring.

A 120% success, born under the sign of talent and work, having undoubtedly required a huge commitment to achieve such a result. Top Vapelier for 4.81/5 average, simply because it is the maximum score we can achieve. But in my heart, it's worth 5.
