Comments on the packaging
The Cloud-Co Creamery Ice Cream range has the same design for all its products. Only the color changes depending on the flavor. For the pistachio, a nice soft green color is used. The product name is located below the mark.
The box and the bottle are decorated for the lower part in a beige squared pattern reminiscent of the ice cream wafer. We could almost have guessed what was in the box without tasting the nectar… That would have been a shame…
I appreciate the name Cloud-Co Creamery highlighted by a pink tag that contrasts well with the pistachio green. This little fantasy makes it possible to recognize the Ice Cream range, and adds a note of cheerfulness to the bottle and its envelope. It is a detail, but it shows the concern of the manufacturer to take care of its packaging until the end.

Comments on the taste of the juice
From the first puff, I notice the smoothness of the juice, this little taste of cream which makes me verify that it is indeed a 50/50… And yet it is! Amazing to have such a soft and creamy texture with such a ratio! Obviously, this is a gourmet juice.
The taste of pistachio is more than light. This long-awaited flavor only arrives at the end of the mouth. It is soft, discreet, very short on the palate. I'm disapointed. Pistachio promised me a pronounced flavor of this small nut. Its aroma reminds us more of the light taste of Italian pistachio ice cream, the flavor of which is imprecise, diffuse. It is, it seems, delicate to use a flavor of natural origin to illustrate this fruit so it is indeed here, as for all liquids, an artificial flavor. But it would have been judicious to force on this aroma, so that the name is in adequacy with the taste which remains in the mouth.
Vanilla, very present, is the first flavor that comes to us. Sweet and sweet, well worked, it brings the creamy ice and all its smoothness.
The slightly biscuit flavor is present at the end of the mouth and reminds the pistachio ice cream cone.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I started to taste the Pistachio Ice-Cream on the dripper at a power of 20 W. The hit is very light, the flavor very present, without being aggressive. The vapor is moderately dense and leaves a sweet scent in the room.
By increasing the power to 25W, I found that the taste gained in thickness. The hit remains light, but it is only 3mg / ml of nicotine ... At the exit, the vapor becomes denser while remaining fragrant and sensual.
Pistachio Ice cream should be steamed warm, to appreciate the sweetness of the taste. Too much power would mask the already understated and delicate flavor of the pistachio. And would melt the ice ...

My mood ticket on this juice
I was impatiently waiting for the moment to taste this liquid which promised me to rediscover the pistachio flavor other than as an aperitif ... Pistachio, this small Mediterranean nut, so pleasantly sweet, has not finished reserving us surprises of use.
With a name like Pistachio, I was expecting a very pronounced taste of the small nut ... And if I am a little over my hunger by the lack of precision of the taste and the lack of length in the mouth, the general impression remains positive however. This juice is pleasant to vape, it is even good. But giving it the name Pistachio is perhaps a little presumptuous, as the taste of vanilla cream takes over from start to finish.
It's a good vanilla custard with a hint of pistachio! All this lacks a little pep's and would have benefited from forcing a little on the promised taste: pistachio.
