Comments on the packaging
Liqua is an international brand of E-liquids which has several production sites, including one based in Europe. This brand is also one of the oldest since it was created in 2009.
The catalog of this “dinosaur” has 46 flavors spread over two ranges, one basic and the second more elaborate, called Mix.
A bottle of 10 ml soft plastic in a small box. This is how liqua e-liquids are.
The best thing is undoubtedly the price, € 4,90 per bottle and in addition, the possibility of further lowering the price by buying in batches, which the people are asking for.
For now, it's a heavenly invitation that comes from the mix range, it is called the Pina Coolada. Do I need to say more?

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
We will say that the Liqua brand does not make a full box. We are missing the embossed marking on the label, this marking is only present on the cap. There are also no warning pictograms.
Next to that, we have a label with the full composition of the juice, there is a whole list of ingredients with complex names. Total transparency which is also accompanied by a small QR code to attest to the originality of the juice.
So we are far from faultless but these liquids remain very correct in terms of safety.

Comments on the packaging
The presentation is one of the strengths of the brand. A box with an anthracite gray background made up of a multitude of triangles in various shades of gray.
A huge scoop of ice cream surrounded by a colorful spiral that looks like the rind of our frozen fruit. The rest is quite usual, legal notices, composition… ..
We still notice a small taste table on one of the sides. This little item presents the strong taste trends of the juice, here:
The bottle has the same decoration, I like the cap. It has a square section at its top which is practical in use, in addition to being original.
A presentation at the top given the price of the product, it is difficult to ask more for 4,90 €.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The recipe is presented to you like this on the Liqua website:
“If you could vape a tropical vacation, it would taste like our Pina Coolada. Fresh pineapple, sweet cream, a hint of rum and a fresh aftertaste guaranteed to delight and refresh. ”
As for the smell, we find a slightly chemical pineapple accompanied by a slight alcoholic side.
In terms of taste, we find a pineapple wrapped in a creamy sensation. Pineapple is a bit shy, so I will have a hard time qualifying it as “fresh fruit” because for me it lacks breadth. The rum expresses itself in a subtle way and the “guaranteed fresh aftertaste” is, I find, very behind.
In the end, a Pina Coolada a little too shy compared to what is usually done on this recipe.

My mood ticket on this juice
Liqua offers us a vision of the Pina coolada which seems to me to be a little too shy.
Indeed, when you think of this cocktail, you immediately have in mind a powerful pineapple, accompanied by coconut cream and rum, the kind of drink that immediately transports you to the paradisiacal beaches of the Caribbean.
In our recipe, we find some elements (pineapple, rum) even if the coconut cream has been replaced by a more neutral creamy effect.
But we are far from the sunny explosion of this institution. The flavors are too sweet for my taste, our drink lacks character.
So if for confirmed vapers this juice will certainly not be strong enough. On the other hand, it will be perfect for those who want to switch from basic flavors to composed recipes. The overall sweetness of the juice and therefore the lightness of the aromas will allow them to try it out without changing gear and without risk of nausea.
A half-tinted juice that shines by its creamy and sweet side but that fights a little on the fresh and fruity side that still remains correct given the value for money.
Good Vape,
Vince.
