Comments on the taste of the juice
The Sakura Berries liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of Japanese red fruit sake flavored with Japanese cherry blossom.
When opening the bottle, the fruity scents of red fruits are well felt, we can already guess the sweetness of the composition. We also perceive some “alcoholic” and “floral” notes, the smell is pleasant and sweet.
In terms of taste, the Sakura Berries has a good aromatic power, the ingredients making up the recipe are all identifiable and well perceived in the mouth. Red fruits are experienced as a mixture of fruits that are more of a juicy and sweet type. The sake is expressed thanks to its “alcoholic” notes, very pronounced which envelop the fruits at the end of the vape. Finally, the cherry blossom is present by its subtle floral touch throughout the tasting.
The whole composition has a good taste, the liquid is light and is not disgusting.

For the tasting of Sakura Berries, the liquid has been boosted with the nicotine booster included in the packaging. The resistance consists of a single wire in Ni80 in spaced turns at a value of 0,6Ω. The cotton used is Holy Fiber from HOLY JUICE LAB.
With this configuration of vape, the inspiration is quite soft, the passage in the throat and the hit are average, certainly reinforced thanks to the “alcoholic” flavors of the sake, the fruity mixture is already slightly felt.
When exhaling, the flavors of the red fruit mix appear, a rather juicy and sweet mix. This blend is accompanied by the floral notes caused by the flavors of the cherry blossom which are relatively sweet and last until the end of tasting.
The alcoholic flavors of the sake come to close the session, they envelop the red fruits which then fade. The alcoholic flavors also seem to slightly accentuate the floral notes at the end of the tasting.
The tasting is soft and light, it is not disgusting.
