Comments on the packaging

Aaahhh, the Speculoos! Whether consumed with a little black on the terrace of a cafe or more traditionally during the Advent celebrations in the shape of Saint Nicolas, the little Belgian delicacy is unanimous around her.

But it is also an e-liquid from the gourmet range of Flavor Power. A range which is intended to seduce first-time vapers with an assembly on an 80/20 basis of PG / VG ratio and availability in 0, 6, 12 and 18mg / ml in nicotine rate, enough to match all the expectations of beginners.

Presented in a 10ml plastic bottle, in accordance with the regulations, the product displays a good amount of information likely to reassure the potential buyer and includes a very fine dropper (dropper) which will make you comfortable for your fillings.

Offered at an average rate of 5 €, it therefore corresponds to entry level.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.25 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It all started off very well with product conformity that does justice to the brand and that will satisfy the most fussy of inspectors. All the mentions, logos and warnings provided for by the legislator appear in good working order on the label which did not require so much. 

This label is raised to reveal a notice, regulatory also, and then repositioned naturally. 

The composition reveals the presence of milli-Q water, a normal and harmless additive (fortunately for us that the water is harmless…) which is used to fluidify the mixture and to extrapolate the vapor at high temperature.

There is also ethanol used to enhance the taste and sometimes as a solvent for the flavors. This therefore indicates to us that this product may not be suitable for people who are intolerant to alcohol or who practice a religion that prohibits this component.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 3.33 / 5 3.3 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

Aesthetics did not really prevail in the design of the packaging, it was rather a question of showing white paw in terms of conformity rather than sketching a seductive graphics.

It's still a bit of a shame because the object remains anonymous, despite the presence of the pretty logo of the brand and it lacks a bit of personality to shine among other products on the shelves of shops.

Although the law now prohibits “tempting” illustrations, there must be a way to find a color code or a graphic charter allowing at least easy identification of the e-liquid. Other manufacturers have found it.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The main expectation that we have when tasting a juice that shows its intentions so clearly even in its surname, is the realism of the taste. And here we are served.

Indeed, the flavor of a dry biscuit with brown sugar, as it should be and a mixture of cinnamon and ginger immediately evoke the greedy Flemish. We are not wronged on the merchandise. If we like the Speculoos to crunch, we will like the Speculoos to vape.

The recipe is balanced. The spices do not take precedence over the greedy aspect and the whole is of a beautiful aromatic power. Suuverain accompanied by a coffee, it could also constitute a potential allday for the most greedy of beginners.

A nice success, not pretentious and yet very nice.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

PG / VG ratio requires, the volume of steam is not huge and the hit is present in the throat. In a clearomizer suitable for beginners, tight or more airy, it does its job to perfection, the strength of its taste allowing it to express itself in the mouth from the lowest powers.

To be kept at a warm temperature, however, excessive heat makes it lose some of its splendor by exacerbating the spicy aspect to the detriment of the sweetness of the saving biscuit.
