Comments on the packaging
Flavor Hit has been creating liquids for 8 years now and, through its different ranges, we take advantage of realistic flavors, liquids made in the rules of the art and thus, pleasure vape. You have to take advantage of it while you can! The Authentic range brings together liquids with simple flavors, but don't be fooled, achieving simplicity is often complicated! It invites tasting, as if to re-discover flavors that are too often mixed.
We are interested in blends and particularly in Sterling Blend today. Sterling Blend is a blond tobacco accompanied by nuts.
The Sterling Blend recipe is based on a PG / VG ratio of 70/30. Perfect balance between flavors and vapor, it will suit all equipment and most vapers. Only available in a 10ml bottle, it is available in 0, 3, 6, 12 and 16 mg / ml of nicotine. First-time vapers still addicted to nicotine will be able to find a rate that will suit their weaning.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The smell of the liquid takes me back a few years when I opened my new bag of roll-your-own tobacco. It is exactly this scent that I find: slightly sweet, a pleasant and discreet herbal side. I loved that smell. Sterling Blend scores a very good point!
In the taste test, I found this virgin virginian tobacco not at all sweet, a little harsh in the throat. Sterling Blend is an authentic tobacco, with no gourmet additions of any kind. The natural nuts bring roundness and realism to the whole, at the end of the vape. They are not really felt in terms of flavor, they reinforce the sensation of tobacco in the throat.
The throat hit is normal for 3mg of nicotine. Sterling Blend has a good aromatic power but it remains light and not at all sickening. It is a very good authentic tobacco.
