Comments on the packaging

Liquidarom is a famous manufacturer and distributor of cloud potions who, by dint of perseverance and ideas, today offers an incredibly rich catalog and above all suitable for all types of vapers.

Today, we are tackling the Ice Cool range which inaugurates the entry into summer with some fresh and fruity juices, always pleasant in hot weather. Strawberry Raspberry Basil is the name of this new reference which offers a variation on a known theme generally appreciated by fans.

Offered between € 19.90 and € 24.70 depending on the purchasing platform, we cannot say that this juice is very cheap even if it remains quite within the commonly charged prices. However, when we know the reputation of the brand, we suspect that either the taste aspect or the safety aspect (or both at the same time) have been the subject of rigorous work and it is not not free.

Mounted on a 50/50 PG / VG base, the FFB (for Fraise Framboise Basilic, I will call it that because otherwise I will use all the ink ...) presents a very important quality to me, it is indeed transparent like clear water, which means that the manufacturer has not given in to the sirens of a color that is always questionable. And there, I applaud wholeheartedly because it is high time for the world of vaping to free itself once and for all from these dangerous and unnecessary tricks. Damn it, paint the bottles, it will be less harmful and it will cost you less!

Well, it's time to move on otherwise you will fall asleep ...

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

This is where we understand the reality of Liquidarom's professionalism and why this manufacturer will become a natural contender for the podium of national brands.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The label is correct but its design or rather the paleness of its impression make the bottle seem to have slept a month in the sun… Too bad because the intentions were good but, hell, it's a summer juice , a revival of color, a shiny paper and, no doubt, a more inspired design could have constituted interesting arguments of seduction to exploit.

We will console ourselves with a few qualities such as the clarity of the information, the attempt at relief on the Ice Cool logo and the pretty blue cap which gives a clear indication of the icy words of the FFB.

Comments on the taste of the juice

It's marked on it: 100% fresh. So, those who are allergic to this category can change reviews. For the others, stay a little while we discuss it.

If you manage to survive the technical knockout due to the freezing passage of the first puff, you will discover a rather sweet e-liquid, even if it seems paradoxical, where strawberry and raspberry seem to marry on a molecular level. Indeed, even if we can clearly feel the differences between the two star fruits with sometimes gourmet aromas of strawberries and, from time to time, light and sweet notes typical of the taste of raspberries, without having the acidity however.

As for the basil, it is present at the end of the mouth and brings a herbal aspect that unites well with the fruits, as we have known for a long time in gastronomy. The bitterness skillfully blends with the sweet flavor of the fruit and makes the FFB vapable as desired, even over a very long time. The manufacturer having managed to avoid the trap of “too sweet”. Everything in its place and a good aromatic definition even if the icy bias of FFB remains dominant and therefore addresses the potion to a public if not informed at least concerned.

However, the liquid remains quite pleasant to vape and sufficiently nuanced and subtle to attract the finest mouths. Personally, I find that a bit “too much fresh” but I understand very well that ice floe aficionados will get a lot for their money.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

A lounge chair, a glass of fruit juice, a pair of Ray-Ban, a swimming pool next door and a good air atomizer but precise and you are ready for climate change!

Royal also served on a glass of white alcohol such as vodka, the FFB is a good companion for lazing around on the condition, however, that you have the appropriate equipment to dynamise its aromatic power a little, to calm its icy ardor while giving precision with fruit and spice.

Also, a flavor-focused monocoil dripper, all airflow open, around 0.30 Ω for a power between 35 and 40W seems to me an honest compromise!

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Aperitif, All afternoon during everyone's activities
  • Can this juice be recommended as an Allday Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.29 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

A good mark for a good liquid. The FFB is not a choice to be neglected if the urge to vape fresh takes you. On the contrary, its taste nuances are interesting enough not to just feel like it brings freshness to the throat, which any glass of water taken out of the fridge would do as well.

Take with you for a walk in the sand along the ocean on a hot day. Yum !
