Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
All of the information relating to legal and safety compliance in force appears on the bottle label, however, the list of ingredients in the recipe does not detail with precision the various proportions of the compounds in the liquid.
We therefore find the names of the juice and the brand, the various usual pictograms are visible, the one in relief for the blind is on the cap of the bottle. Information on the presence of nicotine in the product is indicated. We also have the PG / VG ratio and the nicotine level as well as the optimal use-by date and the batch number to ensure the traceability of the liquid. Information concerning the precautions for use is recorded.
Inside the label is the package leaflet including usage and storage data, warnings and possible unwanted side effects. There is also the contact details of the manufacturer with the origin of the product. A pictogram indicating the diameter of the tip of the bottle is present.
SOLANA has a quality, hygiene and environment charter accessible on its site explaining the various manufacturing controls for its products, which is reassuring.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Poplick Creek liquid is a gourmet tobacco juice with notes of nuts, Bourbon and vanilla.
When opening the bottle the scents of tobacco and Bourbon are noticeable, the smell is quite pleasant, the scents of vanilla are much weaker than those of tobacco and Bourbon, the odors of nuts are not really felt.
In terms of taste, the flavors of tobacco and Bourbon have good aromatic power, these two flavors occupy a large part in the composition of the recipe. The tobacco is of the dark tobacco type, the taste of which is quite faithful, the Bourbon also has a good taste and even seems to be slightly “smoky”. The flavors of vanilla are much weaker in intensity and are only perceived at the end of tasting, concerning the nuts, I can't really feel them.
The homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect, the liquid is slightly sweet, rather sweet, the tasting is not disgusting.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For the Poplick Creek tasting, I chose a vape power of 30 W and used Holy Fiber cotton from home HOLY JUICE LAB.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is quite soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are light.
At the expiration, the flavors of tobacco are expressed first, a dark tobacco whose aromatic power is very present and the taste rather faithful, it is immediately followed by the flavors of Bourbon, a fairly soft and light Bourbon which appears even a little “smoky”.
Then, at the end of expiration, we guess some subtle vanilla notes very pleasant in the mouth which come to close the tasting, this touch is very light but tastefully present all the same.
The tasting is not disgusting, it is quite pleasant in the mouth.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Poplick Creek liquid offered by SOLANA is a gourmet tobacco juice with a fairly present Bourbon note, pleasant on the palate and with a subtle hint of vanilla felt especially at the end of tasting.
The flavors of tobacco are similar to those of a dark tobacco taste close to reality, those of Bourbon are quite light and sweet and seem to be slightly smoky.
The flavors of vanilla, felt especially at the end of tasting, are present despite their low taste intensities, this subtle note and very pleasant on the palate.
I didn't manage to perceive the flavors of the nuts, it really didn't bother me because for me the juice is excellent without them.
We therefore have here a relatively good and pleasant tobacco / gourmet type liquid whose tobacco / Bourbon combination is tastefully pleasant and whose subtle vanilla notes perceived at the end of expiration are really good.
A “Top Juice” for a very well made and tasty tobacco / gourmet!
