Comments on the packaging

La Mauresque is a specialty from the south of France and we might as well tell you that we do not joke with it! It is almost an institution like the Bonne Mère, the sardine from the port of Marseille or the bouillabaisse.

For those who were lucky enough to be born north of the Loire, a short explanation of the text: to make a Moorish, take a dose of pastis, add a good dash of barley syrup, 4 doses of water and ice cubes. It's simple and effective and even those who are allergic to anise like it!

Orgeat syrup is an almond syrup that has the good smell of the white glue of our childhood, a typical smell of bitter almond or arsenic, it is according to your personal habits ...

The Pastis Mauresque as e-liquid comes from the Ivresse range of Flavor Power, the Auvergne manufacturer and is particularly dedicated to an audience of beginners in the vape. From the base on which it is mounted first, in 80/20 PG / VG ratio, by the modesty of its price then and by the nicotine rates that it finally offers us: 0, 6, 12 and 18mg / ml.

Presented in a standard plastic bottle, it contains all the necessary information to inform the consumer effectively.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Difficult to find a better student in the competition for the most compliant product! Indeed, mentions, logos and warnings bloom like acne on the face of a teenager and will satisfy the strictest of regulations. The brand has taken the measure of the effort required to display perfect transparency and that is to its credit.

The assembly contains water, which is frequent and harmless. In addition, water is important in a Moorish!

Certain elements of information, added after printing with an ink that does not hold well, risk being erased under the combined action of liquid drips and handling friction. No doubt that more work in the direction of better performance would be necessary.

Comments on the packaging

The aesthetics of the packaging suffer from the accumulation of information. In all good faith, this can be understood in view of the amount of information made mandatory, but the product loses a little of its visibility and the manufacturer of its brand image.

I believe that it is possible to harmonize all this so as to keep the necessary mentions and a more “marketetted”, more attractive graphic charter. Some manufacturers have made this transition in the field.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Putaing cong! We can't say that this juice is for wimps. It hits the spot with a load of star anise so powerful it straightens your mustache! No doubt, it's pastis with not only the very pronounced anise aspect but also the plants that go with it: liquorice of course but also the necessary spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and others ...

For once, it's hyper-realistic, we have the impression of drinking pure pastis, without filter!

For the rest, on the other hand, it is less successful. No trace of barley syrup is found as the presence of pastaga crushes everything. Ditto for the freshness, totally absent. 

In summary, the juice is spicy, definitely too strong and the realism of the pastis cannot compensate for the absence of the slightest ounce of sweetness. To be reserved for the rare allergic to water who drink their pastis plain without the hassle of a carafe!

The length in the mouth is in tune and even after three brushing teeth and a liter of coffee, we still feel the aniseed vapors on the tongue and lips. For example, Mad Murdock's Radiator Pluid is a nice joke compared to this liquid.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

With devastating aromatic power, Pastis Mauresque should be reserved for very airy clearomizers to try to ventilate the aromas a little, which is totally out of step with the product's target market.

Hit too pronounced, even in 6mg / ml, diaphanous vapor, it would take a drastically freezing temperature to try and get the most out of it, which is theoretically impossible.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.63 / 5 3.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

It is extremely rare to find a 100% successful range from any manufacturer. The best flavorist in the world can't be brilliant every day. Here, the Moorish pastis disappoints and clashes in a range so far very correct and balanced.

Too powerful, too strong, too… too much, this liquid remains at the limit of vapable things and is lost in the realization of its promise by an excess of enthusiasm and a slightly heavy hand on the aromatic load.

Quick, water !!!
