Comments on the packaging
The label of the bottle is perfectly matched with the name of the liquid thanks in particular to the illustrations present on the label as well as the color of this one.
The label has a very well made smooth finish, all the data written on it are perfectly clear and readable even with their small sizes.
The packaging is correct and well made. To quibble a little, I would say that the tip of the bottle should perhaps be reviewed in order to facilitate its opening when adding nicotine booster, a screw-off tip would be perfect. 👌 But we get there anyway!

Comments on the taste of the juice
Pistachio Cream liquid is a gourmet type juice with creamy and powerful pistachio flavors.
When the bottle is opened, the creamy notes of the recipe are perceived thanks to the pastry and slightly sweet scents they provide. The pistachio is present but lighter with its fragrant notes of dried fruit. The scents are sweet and pleasant.
At the taste level, the Pistachio Cream liquid has a beautiful aromatic power even if it remains of a soft and light taste.
The unctuous and sweet notes of the cream offer a very round vape, a light and accomplished pastry cream and the specific flavor of the pistachio finds a natural cocoon there to flourish with its fine and delicate taste, subtly sweet.
The set is light, which allows the liquid not to be disgusting in the long run. Despite everything, the greedy aspect of the recipe is very present in the mouth during the tasting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The tasting was carried out with a rate of 3mg / ml, the power of vape is 45W for a rather "warm" vapor.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is soft, the hit light.
This liquid can be suitable for any type of material accepting a VG rate of 70%, a moderate power with a restricted DL type draw seems ideal in order to preserve all the taste nuances. Indeed, with a slightly higher power, the gourmet notes of the cream tend to fade in favor of the pistachio, we then lose the pleasant taste balance of the recipe.

My mood ticket on this juice
Pistachio Cream is a gourmet juice with a notable aromatic power.
The flavors of the cream are the ones that stand out the most, they are creamy and offer a certain roundness in the mouth during tasting, they are also sweet.
If the pistachio seems to be in the background, it definitely stays in its rightful place so as not to tire you, especially at the end of the tasting when they delicately envelop the cream.
The Pistachio Cream displays a score of 4,59 within the Vapelier, it obtains its "Top Juice" thanks in particular to its sweet and creamy gourmet notes as well as its lightness which allows it to be vaped without moderation!
