Comments on the packaging
Solana, Calaisian manufacturer well known to vapers, has been very prolific lately. After an excellent gourmet Wanted range and a Barnum Show range containing some nuggets of good taste in a very playful genre, the brand persists and signs with its new range which should breathe new life into the French vape.
The liquidator of the North is far from being at its first attempt in terms of innovation. We remember and we still vape the Guanabana, or Corossol, that Solana was the very first manufacturer to introduce into the world of clouds and which received a large international welcome. To the point of being copied over and over again. To the point that this new flavor has become one of the pillars of creation for many liquidators.
So, Solana does it again with a very inspiring Sagas range that will carry an unknown aroma in our atomizers. If the range only has two references, there is no doubt that these should greatly disturb the taste buds of gourmet vapers.
Today we are testing the Original, which is available in a 50 ml bottle of overdosed flavor that you can add 10 to 25 ml of nicotine base or not, according to your needs and desires, in order to obtain a ready to vape between 60 and 75 ml between 0 and more than 6 mg/ml of nicotine.
The bottle is surprisingly thin and long for a shortfill and reveals a very attractive straw-colored liquid. Based on a 50/50 ratio of PG/VG, we can expect an excellent balance between flavors and vapor and possible use on all existing devices. Sold from June 6th in all good online or physical shops or on the manufacturer's website.
If the taste relates to that excellent first impression, it should hurt! And that's what we're going to check together. So fasten your seatbelts, the journey begins.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
One does not become a reference in the vape without knowing how to subscribe to the legal and health requirements. The opposite would even be disappointing and counter-productive.
Nothing surprising therefore to note that there is no reproach to be made with this item. Solana knows the importance of transparency and it shows.
Moreover, the manufacturer informs us of the presence of cinnamaldehyde, a compound of natural origin very used whose allergenic capacities can only concern the rare people who are sensitive to it. Putting it on is fine. Saying it is even better, it avoids inconvenience.

Comments on the packaging
We don't vape the beauty of a bottle, that's for sure, but it's still very inspiring when buying a new liquid. A bit like when I was a teenager and I bought my LPs (yes, I know, I date 😢…) relying on the cover.
Here, we discover a visual universe very close to Stargate, this film and this series of American Science-Fiction which made the beautiful Sundays of many generations. Everything is there ! The stargate, the iconic jaffa who looks almost menacing with his weapon drawn. All that's missing is Jack O'Neil with a gun and a joke and we'd believe it.
Why so much “cinema” for a liquid. No doubt to illustrate that the journey begins here, from the label, and that it will shake up?

Comments on the taste of the juice
We may expect an event, the slap is still sound!
If we easily spot a sweet vanilla, very island and borderline fruity, the rest is more discreet. A nut stands out, however, and affirms its character throughout the successive puffs. The pecan nut since it is about it, is recognizable with its soft taste and without bitterness, it supplements vanilla marvelously for a combo in a state of grace.
However, the mystery remains. If the texture is willingly creamy and yet digestible, we believe to perceive, here and there, fleeting notes of chestnut but also very surprising and quite indefinable exotic emanations.
Even more astonishing, there seems to emerge a kind of freshness in this yet greedy set. Attention, not a polar cold quick to freeze the taste buds. A light summer breeze that makes you forget the thickness of the texture by coating it with a welcome current of air. Everything is sweet with a magnificent balance, neither too little nor too much.
The recipe is magical and the result beyond expectations. The taste is divine, the texture too and the famous mystery aroma takes its place in a potion that should delight all gourmands and gourmets on the planet Vape!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I didn't think that an uncompromising gourmet liquid could also become a summer juice. Preconceptions die hard... However, this is the case for the Original which, beyond bearing its name well, can be vaped in all possible ways and at all possible temperatures without losing its specificities.
If it stands out as an obvious complement to a coffee, it will also be at ease with any hot drink... or cold but also solo for a vape at all times. To vape greedily, as one eats a good Italian ice cream when leaving the beach. For fun and for taste.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Original inaugurates a new aromatic experimentation in our vape and does so with honors. Surprising, sumptuous and ultimately versatile, it will suit every vaper, whatever their favorite category.
Of course, gourmets will love it. Competing flavourists will try to find out and will no doubt find the solution, but Solana will have demonstrated, once again, that we can still be inventive in 2022 when it comes to exploring flavors.
These explode in the mouth, just like an obvious Top Juice in the picture! You have been warned, to test it is to adopt it!
Editor's note: But, didn't you mention the mystery aroma?
NDMoi: What mystery aroma?
Editor's note: Are you kidding me?
NDMe: I don't see what you're talking about... 😉
