VDLV is an active member of Fivape and the first French manufacturer to have officially received the e-liquid certification issued by AFNOR Certification. Potions are certified to the voluntary standard XP D90-300-2 - afnor.org/certification.

Comments on the packaging
The new standards in force and the health directive prohibit any incitement or promotion to the consumption of e-liquid. It starts from the label and it is available in all communication media. In these restrictive conditions, it is not surprising to find oneself in a relatively neutral visual environment.
Nevertheless, the Cirkus range succeeds in conveying an attractive image, from the circus world, whose logo allows easy identification. The whole is well done, well organized, offering easy reading of the different indications.

Comments on the taste of the juice
In line with my expectations and the Cirkus previously evaluated, the Passion is simple but sufficiently “worked” to arouse a very legitimate interest.
The flavors are precise, credible and realistic. Their dosage is well inspired and perfectly controlled.
Inspiration and expiration are in unison and maintain a similar feeling. The recipe is not very sweet but just enough to get this little extra gourmet. Once again, I think this confirms an ideal dosage of flavors, associated with 50% vegetable glycerin.
The aromatic power remains moderate and gives this juice the possibility of being vaporized all day without nauseating. The finish on the palate is pleasant, mixing fruity and tropical aspects.
The hit and the steam are in accordance with the displayed values.
Tasting recommendations
- Recommended power for optimal taste: 35 W
- Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
- Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
- Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Maze & Bellus RBA
- Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.7
- Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Cotton
Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
As usual, the flavors will be more precise on a flavor-oriented dripper type atomizer. On an ato tank, the intrinsic qualities persist, but to a lesser degree. The result is still convincing and will already be of a level that will happily satisfy a good number of first-time vapers.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.47 / 5

My mood ticket on this juice
The proposal is once again more than honest.
Behind this Passion recipe and more generally the Cirkus brand, VDLV demonstrates, if it was still needed, all its expertise, its know-how and its seriousness in the services of vaping and consovapoteurs.
Gironde society is not content to “purr” gently from the heights of the vaposphere. In perpetual research, she regularly offers new recipes or modifies those that are less successful. If that weren't enough, this constant quest allows him to be always more “safe” in order to stay at the forefront on one of the items that have built his reputation.
Considering the sales force and the developed network, it is unlikely that you will not be able to find a place to form your opinion.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
