Comments on the packaging

This note is very severe and does not reflect the reality of the characteristics of the packaging of products in the Secrets d'Apothicaire range. Admittedly, the legibility of the proportion of PG / VG is not the most clearly displayed and the tamper-evident seal is lacking on the bottle, but with regard to this last point, the French Liquide will remedy it very soon. As for the size of the lettering of the information on the label, it seems unimportant to me because the info is present. In this price niche, the packaging is most remarkable and respectful of the product and the customer, it is at the level of high-end liquids, hands down!

I have already expressed here - because this is the third review of the range - the concern for communication and transparency of the team (of the daltons since there are 4) in charge of the French brand working in the laboratory. Lips France. Their website dedicated to e-liquids is a model of its kind in terms of information and contact, the visit is worth the detour, just as in reality was it telephone, which gave me complete satisfaction.

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

This is better and it should be even more (not) given the presence of a DLUO, a batch number and a QR code which refers you to the site page of the lot of your vial, page on which you will even discover the name of the druid author of this potion. The presence of water does not interfere in my opinion, with regard to the quality of vape and the fullness of the flavors. All legal compliance requirements are present both on the bottle and on the box that accompanies it, full carton, you will vape with full knowledge of the compounds of this potion.  

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

This is the note that I like and which reflects the efforts of graphics and the homogeneity of all the products in this range. All vials are red (tinted glass). To discover the color of the juice, you need to observe it in the pipette. The packaging is neat, the retro design befits the particular atmosphere of Secrets d'Apothicaires, this traveling distillery recalls the activity of distillers, which were still rampant when I was young and to which my grandfather entrusted part of the harvest of whites for the production of raw brandy which was later used to make liqueurs and ratafias… .. [nostalgia mode off].

Remember that the price offered for these juices is not exaggerated and that, for much more expensive, some manufacturers do not provide a box guaranteeing effective protection for their vials and their products, French Liquide arises in terms of quality, among the best of the moment.

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
  • Definition of smell: Fruity
  • Definition of taste: Fruit
  • The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes
  • Did I like this juice ?: Yes
  • This liquid reminds me:

    Another maximum score, and this one finally concerns the juice, what am I saying, the potion of course. The taste is indefinable so much it presents a balanced blend from which no flavor stands out or stands out compared to the others, it is slightly sweet, fruity, acidulous. An original liquid that reminds me of no other. In vaping it retains this originality, unparalleled to my knowledge. 

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

“This gourmet and fruity e-liquid is made from noble raw materials. The acerola * and the grape bring to this composition delicately tangy sweet notes; The pear and the coconut flesh, on a background of Bourbon vanilla, sublimate its generosity. ”Says the manufacturer's website. Frankly, I would not have been able to determine any of these aromas in particular if I had not read this description. . It is one of those mixtures which do not need power to express a pleasantly assembled taste of very well balanced flavors to the point of becoming a new scent of fruit…. It's difficult to express, it's a sweet, greedy fruitiness, which remains in the mouth without excess, which has the effect of launching you in a new attempt and so on.

* ”Acerola extracts are used for their toning, stimulating and anti-infectious properties. Their richness in minerals provides re-mineralizing properties. Their high concentration of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin E, flavonoids, anthocyanins and carotenoids gives these fruits the antioxidant and stimulating properties for the production of collagen ” according to Wikipedia… .. this is perhaps the reason for this preciosity praised in its name, this potion is not content to be vaped, it must also participate in our well-being.

Anyway, it is very good, like the other juices in the range, it deserves a special mention for its originality. Another success that will undoubtedly make followers, the fruity ones are seasonal juices, this one is not mentholated, it remains more “confidential” less opulent / powerful than these colleagues Venin or Souffle but particularly good assembled for a smooth, suave vape, with this discreet tangy note that makes you want to come back.

The 50/50 base is not aggressive for the mucous membranes and it is a fan of 25/75 who tells you. Made from certified non-GMO plants with a pharmacological level of purity (USP), it is embellished with natural flavors, food and USP quality nicotine. The 12mg / ml hit does not attack the throat even though this juice does not have an exuberance of flavors that could attenuate the effects and it is a usual vapor at 6mg / ml that tells you so.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 23 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Origen V3 (dripper)
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.8
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

A dripper for discovery and tasting will prove to be ideal. Your favorite reconstructible or clearo will of course be an adequate option between 0,6 and 2,5 ohm without forcing excessively on the power to avoid altering this precious juice. We will have understood that this potion is not about participating in a cloud contest in ULR, however it turns out to support “quiet” 23W at o, 8 ohm, a lukewarm / hot vape that I have for my part greatly appreciated for, in addition to the flavors, producing a good amount of steam. The quality of this juice is the linearity in the sense of balance between the flavors which gives it this originality in the sweetness, enhanced without excess by a fleeting tangy touch at the start of the draw. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would quantify the length in the mouth to 6 or 7 just enough to take a good puff before it fades without looking like a die-hard chain-vaper. 

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.31 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The Lips France laboratory participated in the development of AFNOR standards at the beginning of this year, it is a first in the world concerning vaping that this French standard governing the production and marketing of vaping products and materials on the basis of volunteering, when we know that this lab is a member of FIVAPE (another participant) and that the quality of its products is a primary concern for their development, packaging, we can think that we are dealing with genuine and sincere professionals whose the priority is not profit above all. Their liquids are a reflection of this quest for excellence that the creators put to their profession. In all sectors they are at the top of what we are entitled to expect from adults, communication, design, logistics ... everything is worked out as well as possible, so it is with confident pleasure that I vape their juices, if my modest criticism / contribution contributes to some tiny improvements in their production, I will be honored and I know that they are listening to all the constructive suggestions that you, vaping friends, will make in your comments, so no hesitation, let go and be sincere too.

Good vap

See you soon
