Comments on the packaging

Third part of my taste adventures in the land of Espace Vap 'with a juice that benefits, like the rest of the range, from a very good aura among the vaping community. The Q-Stard, as its name suggests, is definitely to be placed in the category of Custards, i.e., for beginners, a sort of vanilla cream inspired by custard.

The packaging, typical of the Addiction range, is very simple but is more focused on practicality than on aesthetics. I just regret the absence of the PG / VG ratio which today seems essential to guide the vapoteur in his choice. Well, in the case of the Q-Stard, this criticism must be put into perspective by indicating that the proportion appears on the site and that the product is only on sale in the shop-manufacturer, so the information exists. 

Otherwise, no particular grievance and an undeniable asset: the fineness of the tip, which should make school so practical it is to fill all kinds of atomizer. A real dream in use.

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

We no longer joke at all with security at French juice manufacturers, we have seen it often elsewhere. Espace Vap 'is no exception to this rule and presents a clear and transparent profile on all the necessary conformities.

We note the presence of pharmaceutical grade water in the composition and if you do me the honor of reading it, you already know what I think. Otherwise, I will confine myself to saying, since I have already developed my theories many times in these pages, that the presence of water in a liquid has about as much effect on me as Crow's worms declaimed at an anteater anteater. : I counterbalance the rollers!

Well, it's good because it's you, I agree to explain myself one last time. Some claim that the presence of water saves money on the base. These “some” should check their knowledge of chemistry and they would find that water is added to thin the vegetable glycerin, which allows better versatility for the various materials used for vaporization. Water also helps to create steam. And since glycerin is hygroscopic, it therefore attracts water from the atmosphere and is therefore naturally charged with this element. In summary, once the cap is open, there is no e-liquid without water.

As for those who think that water can be harmful by inhalation, I advise them to stop breathing in front of the sea. It will always be a few years saved.

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

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

It is not at the level of aesthetic research that the Q-Stard will gain its titles of nobility.

Indeed, the packaging is of a simplicity bordering the deprivation. Well, given the price which is that of the entry level and the quality, which is that of a premium, we are not going to look for the little beast either. But a better correlation between the label and the color of the cap, for example, would undoubtedly allow an increased appeal of the consumer. 

We will therefore console ourselves with the next chapter where for once, the Q-Stard puts everyone in agreement! Or at least me, which is already not so bad!

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Terrible!

Well, if you are looking for an original e-liquid or a red fruit with menthol, run without looking back !!! Here we have an e-liquid that does not cheat on its name and clearly announces the color. We are therefore on a classic custard, terribly well put together, which has an excellent taste of vanilla, an effect of creamy texture and a je ne sais quoi at the end of the mouth which evokes an alcohol but very lightly dosed. Everything remains sweet but fine and “dry” enough to be steamed for a long time, thus standing out from a Grant Vanilla Custard or Ambrosia, more delicious, more distinctive but also more “choking-Christians” (yes, I know, the term is not the most elegant but it was free).

So, for aficionados of the genre, it's a must-have to dilute your daily dose of gluttony over the whole day. A nice success which has the elegance to combine a good quality of realization at a really contained price.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

On the test equipment, in a “flavor” type vape, we obtain an excellent result between 13 and 20W, the juice accepting to rise in the towers without the aromas becoming over-saturated or the recipe losing its fullness. This juice being in 50/50, it will also be at ease in any clearomizer (a little sharp all the same to properly align the flavors and nuances) but should not be of interest to power-vapers who will turn to juices more loaded in VG.

  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.28 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

It's very good, very efficient and not expensive at all!

If the Q-Stard does not revolutionize the category, it naturally fits well by offering a “light” version of the tenors of the genre. And undoubtedly, it is successful. Pleasant to vape, sweet, greedy but dry at the same time, the Q-Stard avoids the traps of the genre (cloudy perception of aromas, creamy overflow that gets drunk quickly or a little “borderline” ingredients) to impose a style on it, more direct, more versatile which will accommodate both an RBA High End and a good clearo. 

Another great success of this range which I look forward to turning other pages.
