Comments on the packaging
Society and the world are in constant search of novelty and modernity, but the revival has never worked so well.
Vape is no exception to these rules and the past few months have seen the simplest and smallest possible material flourish, while cohabiting with ever more efficient machines with ever more complex possibilities and power levels than the not long ago we judged as inaccessible.
I do not know about the company, it would be necessary for that to appeal to specialists, philosophers but the vape gives the impression to seek oneself.
Personally, I do not think so, opting much more readily for an ecosystem that is simply laying its foundations and an activity becoming more and more sustainable by dint of evidence as to its usefulness and especially its effectiveness.
The field of e-liquid follows this movement and if we continue to find unlikely associations of flavors or recipes a thousand times out of the plethoric number of manufacturers present on the market, the fundamentals are good and we are currently seeing their return to grace.
This preamble, as an introduction, aims to kindly bring you to a series of evaluations of the Vapelier which will be reserved for tobacco macerates.
This flavor, which the vape calls “Classic” by the will of the zealous legislator and giving the change to the tobacco lobbies (but shhh, it should not be said), is sought by many smokers who have never found in the use of the personal vaporizer the same pleasure (yes it is possible!) or the same feeling as with smoked cigarettes.
The macerates are a way, if not to reproduce the latter, to bring a side of “dry grass” and a more natural taste that the artificial flavors responsible for reproducing it have never succeeded in doing.
V by Black Note's Reggae has the heavy task of starting this series with a menthol blend from a catalog totally devoted to Nicot's weed.
TPD requires, our reference is contained in a 10 ml transparent plastic vial and comes packed in a cardboard box.
Note that it is also available in a 40 ml booster format.
Mounted on a PG / VG ratio of 50/50, Reggae is offered with three different nicotine values: 3, 6 & 9 mg / ml.
The price is rather reasonable for this type of juice and is established at 5,90 € 10 ml and 18,90 € 40 ml.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The manufacturing process requires a slight addition of ultra pure water. Let us recall that the harmlessness of this one is proven and welcome the transparency of a manufacture indicating it on the labeling.
The whole is in total conformity with the legislation in force and each item perfectly informed.

Comments on the packaging
No frills or scuffles, the visual is simple and classic, totally in harmony with the taste category of the brand.
The whole is correctly done. While a little more clarity would be welcome on the 10 ml packaging, the large format does not suffer from any criticism.

Comments on the taste of the juice
At first glance, it is not easy to detect that this blend comes from a tobacco macerate. From the first two puffs it emerges a good minty tobacco, reasonably fresh and nothing more.
Once past the preliminaries, the discovery becomes more interesting. There is this fresh aspect to the inspiration and the first intention but the assembly reveals a combination of several mints.
Made from natural flavors, this superposition of spearmint and peppermint is perfectly balanced. The precision is evident and is felt mainly on the exhale where the “fresh” does not act as a bulwark erected in order to hide a weak or approximate combination.
The alchemy offered with a blend of tobacco where Virginia seems to be the majority materializes a very balanced Reggae and very precise in its reading.
This tobacco is blond, intense while remaining light. Its very slightly sweet side and “accessible” to the greatest number seals a union that acts as evidence; this osmosis is devilishly effective.
The hit, for 3 mg / ml and the alliance of the two categories of the herbaceous plant is ultimately rather light. Mint and tobacco macerate, I thought it was more consistent, but it still adds decorum to a potion with indisputable allday status.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Usually relatively “fragile”, macerates do not vaporize at too high a power. The absolute harvested from the dried leaf is delicate and should be treated with respect.
Book him materials focused on the rendering of flavors. Very logically, a controlled air intake will be your ally.

My mood ticket on this juice
The return to favor of tobacco macerates is not to displease me.
Potions with a much more natural appearance than synthetic aromas responsible for trying to reproduce our old addictive habits, this taste category satisfies many fans of the genre.
The series of evaluation that I am going to deliver to you of V by Black Note e-liquids starts with the most consensual recipe: a minty blend responding to an evocative surname.
Rest assured, nothing illegal constitutes Reggae, Bob only left us his music as a legacy.
The potion is a combination of spearmint and peppermint, the appearance of which, stripped of any chemical side, reveals the benefits and intrinsic qualities of the herbaceous plant.
Combined with a majority Virginia blend, it emerges, in addition to the precision in the dosages, a very pleasant subtlety, a slightly sweet blend where the freshness will only push you to reproduce the effects as you wish.
E-liquid accessible to the greatest number of vapers, the recipe will reveal all its qualities in material with a good level in the rendering of flavors. Failing that, it will nevertheless persist a juice of excellent quality which will make the difference with your old vaping knowledge and your attraction for this type of reference.
As I can not wait to test the rest of the range, I hasten to leave you, clean the equipment and redo the assemblies. But this is only to give you my impressions of a V by Black Note range which is starting under the best auspices and from which I hope the best.
In the immediate future, this first opus obtains a Top Juice, confirming all the interest that I have in these future tastings.
See you soon for new hazy adventures,
Marquolive.
