Comments on the packaging
The VDLV group based in the South-West in Cestas has been a French liquid distributor since 2012. Among the juices offered, we find the famous brands Cirkus, Vincent Dans Les Vapes as well as V'ICE.
The entire liquid manufacturing process is analyzed from A to Z, from the flavors to the nicotine that VDLV produces itself in Gironde.
The brand is available in two formats. We find the classic formats in 10 ml bottles with nicotine levels of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 16 mg / ml, in other words that there is something for everyone! The juices are also available in 50 ml format, of course without nicotine.
For these large bottles, the recipes are overdosed in aroma. It will therefore be necessary, before using the product, to add 10 ml of neutral base or a nicotine booster depending on whether a nicotine level of 0 or 3 mg/ml is desired. In any case, it is advisable not to add more than 20 ml so as not to distort the flavors, this recommendation is clearly indicated on the bottle.
The base of the recipe is balanced with its ratio of PG/VG in 50/50, the product can thus be used with the majority of existing materials.
The 10 ml vials are displayed at a price of €5,90 and those in 50 ml are offered from €19,90, the Soda Ryan therefore ranks among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the packaging
I have to admit that I love the overall design of the brand's liquid labels. They are well colored with pastel tones and gradients made with small onions.
The finish doesn't stop there. I also find the touch of the labels really pleasant. These have smooth finishes and the tactile contact is reminiscent of that of an "eraser", this feeling is very pleasant!
The range's mascot represents a “comic book” type polar bear referring to the fresh notes of the juices. The visual changes according to the product to match the name of the juice, it is slightly raised.
Liquid names are fun. These are indeed “word games” recalling certain common expressions or famous characters, certain film names are also mentioned. For our Soda Ryan, the answer is not too difficult to find, is it?
As you will certainly have understood, I am really conquered by the packaging!

Comments on the taste of the juice
Soda Ryan is a fruity/fresh drink with cola and raspberry flavors.
The smell of the soft drink is essential when the bottle is opened, the fruity flavors are very light at this stage, the sweet notes are also palpable.
Cola has the most pronounced aromatic power. Indeed, they are expressed throughout the tasting without ever fading. The drink is recognizable thanks to the particular chemical and artificial notes obtained in the mouth. There is also a sparkling sensation which remains subtle, however.
The raspberry is much more “erased”. Indeed, it never manages to supplant the chemical notes of the drink. It is rather sweet and nevertheless brings subtle acidulous and juicy notes at the end of the tasting.
The freshness of the juice is very present and this from the inspiration where it manifests itself perfectly in the throat. This freshness is also expressed throughout the tasting. It lasts for a short time at the end of the session, it also seems to slightly accentuate the “tangy” notes of the raspberry.
Despite this very present freshness, the liquid remains soft and light, the homogeneity between the olfactory and taste sensations is perfect.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Soda Ryan will absolutely not need heavy artillery in order to fully express itself. I preferred to use a rather low power to attenuate the fresh notes felt on inspiration.
A limited draft will also allow the fruity notes to be preserved, in particular the fairly weak acidic ones which, with a lighter draft, are even more diffuse.

My mood ticket on this juice
With the Soda Ryan, we want cola and that's what we have! It's written on it!
The fruity flavors are much more subdued. Without having a purely taste impact, they only seem to shine to acidify the drink a little and give it a little juice! I would have preferred a more pronounced raspberry which would have brought a real plus to the general taste.
Despite this semi-disappointment, I save the Soda Ryan by declaring that it remains a good liquid whose fresh notes are very present and the more than successful taste of the soft drink will delight fans of the genre!
