Comments on the packaging

The Red Rock range has eight juices with a piracy-oriented marketing direction. One would expect the worst flavors and sordid hints that such a brotherhood used to rub shoulders with, but, fortunately for our greatest pleasure, it is not so.

The Red Hook, has nothing of a dangerous attribute like the hook which serves as the left hand of the captain of the same name. Bottled without a message inside, but in a red tinted glass vial, it will not withstand the onslaught of the sun if you do not preserve it yourself. Savourea offers its juices at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 16mg / ml of 99,8% pure nicotine, a complete panel.

The base is advertised on the label as follows: vegetable glycerin <45% just like propylene glycol. We can think of it as a 60/40, knowing that the aroma blends are prepared in PG, most of the time.

Located at the upper limit of the entry level, the price of these juices is affordable, given their manufacturing quality without diacetyl, parabens or ambrox, and packaging that respects the product and the consumer.

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 have here a note less welcoming than deserved. The presence of a tiny proportion of distilled water burdened the final count by a few tenths, the protocol is thus made, perhaps not for a very long time. The font indicating the PG / VG ratio is also not increased in size compared to the rest of the information, it is a shame since it is one of the most important information for the consumer.

These details mentioned, the labeling fully complies with the mandatory regulations, the packaging is in perfect compliance with safety standards and you have the bonus of a DLUO. An example of a TPD proof product, which many other manufacturers should be inspired by if they want to continue offering their liquids for sale in Europe within a few months.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

The vial is very well made for the level of range offered, the label is in the image of the range, a black graphic on a red background representing a pirate ship under full sail. The name of the wholesale range as well as, smaller, that of the juice and finally even smaller the rate of nicotine make up the “commercial” side.

On either side of this façade you will find the information and regulatory symbols that you may need to read through with a magnifying glass, if you are like me, with a view more akin to the mole than to the hawk. Eleanor.

A remarkable two-tone aesthetic, a bleeding graphics, a red flask, to evoke the world of pirates, it is quite seyant.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

Difficult not to refer to the famous juice at T-Juice for once. This is the risk with this concept red fruits / mint. The comparison, however, will stop there, not that I systematically want to denigrate the Anglo-Saxon drumming (whatever ...) but I must pay homage to a very French way of dealing with this assembly many times declined, when there is instead of doing it.

Let's start with the whole feeling and its difference from the credits. We are in the presence of a realistic blend, not very sweet, the menthol content of which is measured to give pride of place to spearmint and its characteristic fragrance. The syrupy side is therefore not as marked, the red fruits are at the top of the feeling and the freshness only enhances the taste, it is a difference all in subtlety and it should be noted.

In the development, confident in the quality of the flavors used, Savourea did not consider it necessary to add an eye-catching dye, as is the case for the British liquid. Again, you will notice a difference in terms of the quality of the compounds, in favor of Savourea.

The hit at 6mg / ml is consistent with this assay, just as the volume of steam is satisfactory considering the ratio in VG of the base.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 25 / 30 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Mirage EVO (dripper)
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.65
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Stainless steel, Fiber Freaks D1

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Any type of atomizer will suit to vape this juice, sub-ohm or above the ohm, it's equal. The difference will be obtained by the settings of power and air supply.

To pronounce the mint effect as well as the hit you will be able to raise up to 10% the normal power deduced from the resistance value of your montage. Beyond that, it is to the detriment of the aromatic precision of the fruits that you will be confronted. It would be a pity, for a matter of steam production, to miss out on the fruity flavors.

Too much air will have an effect on this juice at moderate power. The dilution will be felt and the mint may gain ground, always against the strength of the dosage of the fruits. A tight vape at normal power will have all the benefits of feeling flavors and less consumption.

The absence of dye makes this juice reluctant to deposit on the coil, residues not sufficiently heated.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - tea breakfast, End of lunch / dinner with a digestif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.27 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

At the end of this column, I must insist on the price of this good juice, which, if it is not very original, offers a remarkable authenticity and quality of elaboration. For a moderate cost, you are in the presence of a packaging worthy of a premium juice, a product where the aspect of safety (sanitary and preventive) does not make dubious dead ends and to finish, returns hands down , the gustatory challenge he faces, because of the global success of his illustrious predecessor.

Made in France and really successful, you can compare by trying. This review is not worth your personal feeling to convince you. I did, however, want to influence your judgment by objective considerations that should weigh if you care a little bit about your health.

So yours, good vape, I go back and see you soon.
