Comments on the packaging
Strawberry Custard is part of the Dinner Lady range distributed by Dinner Lady. This liquid is a gourmet juice based on a pastry flavor enhanced by a fruit, the style is characteristic of English tastes, but the greed has no boundaries. We are offered a packaging of 3 bottles of 10ml is 30ml, in identical containers in opaque plastic magenta color. All stalled in a recyclable box of small size and no larger than a pack of "killer", accompanied by a record in 6 languages. These bottles are equipped with a very fine tip and their small size allows them to carry everywhere without clutter.
The name of the product is visible with the capacity and the dosage of nicotine present under the name of the brand itself, clearly visible.
The nicotine level proposal panel is unfortunately limited with only these three offers in 0, 3 or 6 mg / ml.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The box displays a nice visual and specifies the capacity of this lot with three bottles. On the bottles, the dangerousness pictogram is displayed with the pictograms for the warning of pregnant women and for the prohibition of sale to under 18 years. They are all three of the same size, which does not make it possible to highlight the dangerousness of the product (the danger signal pictogram does not measure 10 X 10mm minimum as required by legislation). In addition, the raised marking is absent and is not found on any bottle, yet it is mandatory in Europe (therefore for export).
However we have the rate of nicotine that is stipulated, with the disadvantages related to it, noted in large writing format and therefore very visible and distinct.
The batch number and the date of optimal use are displayed on the label of the bottle and on the edge of the box, but be careful, because strangely they are not the same.
The composition is clear and sufficiently detailed, as for the manufacturer, we have no precise information, but it is indicated for whom this juice was manufactured and a telephone number is provided, in order to be able to reach a consumer service in case of necessity.
The cap is convenient for opening and is well equipped with proper child safety.
This batch is accompanied by a leaflet in several languages, six to be exact, containing all the information and adding other important ones, including recommendations and precautions for use.

Comments on the packaging
The packaging is beautiful and practical, rare are those who offer a box as complete and easy to use as to transport by these small formats compacted in their space. Admittedly, the cardboard box is quite classic, of the sheath type, with a pleasant and colorful visual in the same tone as the bottle. When opening, we discover a colorful lid, characteristic of the Dinner Lady brand and under which we find the three bottles neatly arranged with their instructions folded around one of them.
The information given on the bottles is organized methodically. At the center of the label, the colorful design that characterizes the brand with its name in bulk, and below, the name of the liquid with the nicotine content and the capacity. On the right, the lot number and the BBD with the coordinates of the manufacturer. On the left is the composition, a warning and the pictogram are inscribed.
A notice accompanies this pack, it is provided in 6 languages and provides additional information that could not contain on the small label. Thus, this packaging communicates fully and openly thanks to this nicely stylish packaging, both in the bottles and in the recyclable box.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 1.88/5 
Comments on the taste of the juice
At the opening, we can smell a concentrated and powerful scent of chemical strawberry, the smell is not very attractive but the flavor should be the vape side.
Indeed, this chemical aspect seems much more attenuated, but I still have an unnatural taste, a barely credible strawberry. At the same time, I have on the palate a vanilla-caramel mixture that mixes with strawberry and prolongs the flavor of this e-liquid when it expires. Gradually this mixed taste fades to leave, after a few seconds, only the perfume discreet but pleasant on the tongue, a caramel soft and not very strong.
The consistency is thick but without a creamy or unctuous aspect, it is a heavy taste, a poorly assembled strawberry with a scent of salted butter caramel, which unfortunately stifles the lightness of the fruit, with a sweet / salty ratio which, in the together, retains a taste which is not bad and remains correct. A blend of flavors that seems awkward to me or rather is not in the habits of French flavors.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Developed primarily for the sub-ohm, it offers a fairly dense vapor that thickens when you mount the watts. It is also a liquid that I appreciate more when the steam is warmer and at the same time, dispels the flavor of the strawberry and its chemical appearance, without erasing it completely, so that the caramel takes over.
The hit felt, perfectly sticks to the rate of 3mg / ml displayed on the bottle.

My mood ticket on this juice
In France we have a culture of pastry and cooking which does not allow all mixtures. Pouring a little caramel on a cake to cover a fruit, such as a strawberry, is common in baking and gourmet. But crunching a strawberry with a soft salted butter caramel in the mouth, the effect is less pleasant. This is a bit like the sensation I get with this Strawberry Custard, a gourmet mix that lacks smoothness, delicacy and which offers an overly offbeat contrast in the mix of the two flavors, strawberry and salted butter caramel. In addition, the reconstitution of the fruit does not give a natural taste, and offers a little something random, in the unfortunate sense of the word.
This is a shame, because the packaging is superb, but again, there are some gaps for the markings in relief forgotten and the pictogram of dangerousness that is not in the imposed format. On the other hand, the offer of 3 x 10ml is generous and very appreciable.
A somewhat disappointing result for this juice, given the Dinner Lady range which nevertheless includes some fine gourmet creations with a very satisfying taste.
