Comments on the packaging

Swoke is a recent French brand that offers a whole new range of e-liquids very opportunely focused on fresh and fruity flavors in order to prepare us for a summer moment perfectly in tune with the coming season.

The brand uses exclusively natural flavors, propylene glycol of vegetable origin and L-Nicotine, deemed healthier than D-Nicotine. 

The packaging is very pleasant, both to view and to use. The necessary informative data are present and able to reassure and guide the consumer. A great introduction to this range which is already shaping up to be one of the “hits of the summer”!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The manufacturer does not ignore safety. We can clearly see that we are touching here a particularly sensitive point for Swoke who made a point of displaying a transparency of a very beautiful water. The pictograms are legion and very explicit, including the one which warns that the whole is recyclable and the precautions for use have been particularly careful. Safety, ecology, natural flavors…. Swoke seems to want to take a leading role in tomorrow's vaping and this is infinitely reassuring in these times when vaping is on the edge of a legal abyss and where all the good ideas are to be taken to prove to the legislator that French companies and vapers are able to be irreproachable.

Comments on the packaging

Peps !!!! Here is what this particularly well done bottle reminds me of, with a very successful aesthetic. The glass is tinted yellow, the top of the cap is the same color and the label, very beautiful and very shiny, displays a happy smiley that makes you want to taste the liquid again. No fault of taste taints the story told by the bottle. A story full of sun, spray and which heralds a particularly colorful summer.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

I'm not particularly drawn to leaked liquids in general. But as it is only the assholes who do not change their mind, I must admit that I let myself be seduced by the Smiley which in my opinion presents three qualities that make it an interesting juice: freshness, astringency and lightness. 

To taste, we quickly find the lemon that the smell already promised us. A lime, almost lime, scented by a spearmint whose flavor of chlorophyll is intimately linked to that of lemon. The whole being appeased by a more watery fruit, a kind of watermelon, which creates the thickness of the liquid without its personal flavor interfering with the rest. Thus, the Smiley remains compact and well designed. Not very sweet, it is above all refreshing and succeeds perfectly in this mission. Light, it can be vaped at will and without any trouble. It could have been more powerful in taste, no doubt, but I think we would have lost that fresh and sunny sensation then.

In any case, it will be a perfect beach companion who pushes the sense of service by settling in the mouth for a long time, which can be saving in the event of a heavy breath (or…) piña colada from the day before !! !

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

I found it perfect around 15w in a device favoring a warm / cold temperature. Of course, it can go higher on a very ventilated sub-ohm clearo, for example, but you have to be careful not to abuse it because the temperature rise does not suit it too much. Because at this time, we lose this famous lightness to gain in aggressiveness and astringency to the detriment of balance.

My mood ticket on this juice

Blown away! Your humble servant does not like fruit in general and lemon in particular. And yet, I can see myself vaping the Smiley on the scorching afternoons of August! 

The reason is simple: a clear recipe promoting freshness and dynamism without falling into caricature. The credit goes to very realistic and well combined natural aromas. The fruit cocktail aspect is mastered by Swoke, it is obvious and I appreciate the fact of not having dropped the sugar bowl in it because we would then have lost the light and direct nature of the Smiley.

Congratulations, nothing to say, I am seduced and do not doubt that fruit lovers will follow suit!
