Comments on the packaging

There are things no one can believe. For example, if I tell you: “the price of petrol will drop by one euro”, you will not believe me. There are small sentences of this kind which impose at least a great skepticism, even a fit of mocking laughter. I'll give you a small non-exhaustive list:

  • The government repeals the pension reform.
  • Donald Trump has returned to order.
  • We found oil in the Ardèche.
  • Berk Research released a fresh fruitiness.

And yet, one of them, at least, is true! And indeed, Berk Research, the specialist in gluttony that sends you directly to hell without going through purgatory, is releasing Red X this week, an e-liquid that will explore freshness and red fruits!!! I know, I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it is, and besides, April Fool's Day has long passed.

The famous French brand, which has been delighting all experienced gourmet vapers for a few years, is coming out and therefore offers us a very fresh juice which contrasts radically with its usual taste choices, if there is any something usual from the crazy manufacturer!

Where the promise challenges is that we know that, from the start, Berk Research has refused to use sweeteners in its products. Despite this assumed strategy, the flavourists-zombies of the radioactive factory have always been able to delight us with references that have become standards and have found many followers to sing their praises!

Rouge X introduces himself to us as the other members of the siblings. Namely in a plastic bottle of 60 ml very clean on him which carries 40 ml of aroma very overdosed. Before tasting, you can extend it with 2 boosters, 20 ml of neutral base or even a booster and 10 ml of neutral base. You can thus obtain 6, 0 or 3 mg/ml. You are then advised to let it mature for a week before putting a glassful in the atomizer.

This new experience will cost you €19.90, which more or less corresponds to the median market price. A version devoid of freshness will come out very quickly in order to satisfy lovers of warm fruits! We knew they were frozen, at Berk. Today we have proof!

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

Comments on the packaging

In order to support the surname of the liquid, Rouge X, the designers have chosen an image of an almost unbearable eroticism. Well, calm down, we're not at Pornhub either! But this is the first time that the muse chosen by the manufacturer to be the product's ambassador looks like something other than an axolotl after a nuclear winter!

In short, it's pure Berk Research, if I dare say. We find with pleasure the insolence in the design of a brand that refuses to do like the others. The only novelty, but of size, is the bottle, which is surrounded by a very becoming metallic blue band which is there to illustrate the fresh aspect of our little Red Riding Hood X.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Lovers of red fruit juices that look like concentrated syrups or candies with three kilos of dyes, move on, there's nothing to see! Here, we approach the fruit with a scalpel, we cut the pulp with a laser and we serve you a cocktail more real than nature.

The manufacturer has made the sovereign choice to let all the least highlighted red fruits express themselves in current production. Thus, the puff opens with a currant festival. The small red fruit explodes in the mouth, fragrant, tangy and quite relevant in its vegetal nature.

It is quickly joined by a blackberry which will give depth to the recipe and make it slide towards greater sweetness. At the end, we find ethereal notes of blueberry or raspberry, which punctuate the fruity speech of the two stars with a few delicacies distilled with precision.

Rouge X is a gourmet liquid, very close to reality, with real added value compared to the many references that monopolize the market. Strong choices, acidity, a little astringency and a marked freshness make it a liquid that can be vaped all day long without any feeling of nausea due to the presence of sugar. There isn't, that's good. And the mix is ​​just sweet enough to get even closer to red fruits.

A worked recipe, very to the point, which comes to put a big kick in the anthill, without sucralose, without neotame, without stevia. Just the juicy truth of fruit.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The viscosity of Rouge X allows it to be used on any type of support. From the pod to the cloudy clearo, everything succeeds. Its aromatic precision and its tangy aspects allow it to be used in all atomisers. I particularly appreciated the vaper on a Huracan rigged with a mesh resistance, which perfectly expresses the different taste tones and which concentrates a little the sweet flavors of the fruits. In RDL, it's perfect. In DL, it's invigorating and in MTL, it's guaranteed taste!

To vape with a glass of iced water to stay in the theme and because it still boosts the sensations!

My mood ticket on this juice

Yes, the Red X is frosted. In every sense of the term ! Because he is different. Wilder, less syrupy, it undoubtedly reminds us of the true taste of things, far from the sweet extravagances that saturate our mouths and gradually accustom us to flavors that are more chemical than natural.

An original, innovative and powerful liquid. This is generally what is expected of adults. But when the big ones don't dare, the artisans of taste have to do it for them.

Top Vapelier, of course, which sounds obvious!
