Comments on the condition
Bio-concept is a company based in Niort (Poitou-Charentes) in New-Aquitaine. Since 2010, more 200 e-liquids with different flavors are out of its laboratories, it shows at least one thing: the orchestra of professionals to the maneuver knows perfectly the partition, one does not survive ten years to propose of the roughly in the highly competitive environment of the fragrant cloud elixir.
In addition to liquids ready to vape, the brand offers a wide range of preparations for your DiY as well as the material necessary for their development / conservation, as well as that for the vaper.
Recall that the TPD has forced manufacturers to offer any new revenue for sale, after verification of compliance (analyzes at the expense of the designer) and obtaining a marketing authorization for each juice and proposed nicotine rate. The time between the presentation of the products to the officials and the appearance in your favorite shop is six months.
Thus, some time ago, the new range came out: Candy Sweet from Bio-concept, which of course responded to all the usual red tape for the products of the vape. (We are still waiting for the same constraints for tobacco companies ...)
After internal deliberation, only six candidates in their 20s in the running were chosen by the Bio-concept team to evaporate via your atomizers, including the 4 No .: caramel aniseed licorice, a premium that smells good the natural substitute to tobacco and its misdeeds. That's what he's going to be about today.

Comments on the packaging
The Candy Sweet range is tastefully based on candies, chocolate bars and caramelized candies, so it's no surprise that we find one of the elements of the concept in its graphic / marketing form.
The label covers 90% of the vertical surface of the vial, leaving a sizeable level of juice visibility.
On the front the main indications are highlighted, while on the sides are affixed the coordinates of the manufacturer, the pictograms of safety / recycling, the detailed composition of the product, the label OFG, as well as a barcode and a number batch.
In accordance with the PDT, the graphics used do not have an appearance that can attract young people or children, the background colors are dark and the silhouette of the well-known spiral candy it represents, is all in all discrete. Coherence and simplicity are the terms that come to mind when I look at this labeling.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Bio-concept announces on its dedicated website, manufacturing its liquids with French products, "All the ingredients necessary for the manufacture of its e-liquids are produced in France (except nicotine)" the label Origine France Garantie is present on the tags. Of EP / USP quality, the base is produced at 100% of plant origin: "organic vegetable glycerin (GV), derived from corn and soy, and Mono Propylene Glycol Vegetable (MPGV) from the rapeseed crop" .
The nicotine base used is vegetal vaping aromas are guaranteed without diacetyl, without acetoin, without acetyl propionyl and without alcohol. It should also be noted that this small family business develops its liquids from A to Z, up to aromatic compounds, dosed by an aromatist.
The liquid is colorless, its 50/50 base will suit a wide range of materials and has the advantage of not clogging the resistors too quickly. If you need to add the nicotine booster to your vial, remember to shake your mixture for a while and systematically before each use / filling. As Bio-concept recommends in its recommendations for use, make sure to keep your vial away from direct sunlight and if possible in a cool place when you are not using it. For a real taste appreciation it is in the chapter below.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The smell of cold, uncorking, is entirely consistent with the description, licorice dominates and the caramel comes in coating soften this powerful smell. The anise is discreet, clearly set back, even at the snack, (because of course, a juice begins to appreciate in the nose and on the tongue, enjoy it, there is no nicotine and you will not no hiccups).
During the first MTL test (on the True at 0,9 Ω - 18, 20, 23W) the chronology of arrival of the flavors is identical, you will have in the mouth and first, liquorice, then a caramelized envelope, and finally the anise note.
This order is also that of the power and amplitude of the juice, it will remain in the mouth liquorice and although the complementary aromas are also present, they serve in my opinion to contain the power of liquorice, giving this characteristic candy that can not be found by chewing a stick of this root.
Here again we observe a coherence with the commercial announcement. This juice is however not as sweet as greed, it's a matter of taste, but personally I appreciate this measure.
Little hit at 3mg / ml and a little more at 6 mg, I did not go further in nicotine dosages. This No. 4 can be cold, lukewarm, or downright hot without any taste alteration.
In a dripper (Royal Hunter Mini at 0,17Ω - 40, 45, 50 and 60W), it reveals a little more power, especially in a warm / hot vape and the airflow not too open. It will also be easier for you to discern the main aromas of which you will note the correctness of the dosage.
The durability in the mouth is variable depending on the type of vape you practice, it is relatively durable for a juice clearly dosed to be boosted to 10ml and 3mg / ml of nicotine, beyond a dissolution with 20ml booster, the mixture will have the effect of altering the power and the aromatic amplitude felt in the mouth, despite a vape with high power.
At Bio-concept we are well aware of this phenomenon which can put off people vaping above 6mg / ml, which is why the team is soon considering the production of 10ml vials with nicotine dosages of up to 16mg / ml and certainly 11mg / ml. I got this information from the company who told me that this is what was offered for another premium range, in the spirit of adapting the offer so that it suits a wider range of vapers . (and why not, one day, offer this range in concentrate for our DIY, which would delight 20/80 PG / VG enthusiasts… Very personal reflection).
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning, Aperitif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.43 / 5 
My mood ticket on this juice
At the end of this review, I have to specify that the protocol allows me, for example, to judge this juice as a potential allday but it is obviously subjective, especially for the one who does not support the liquorice, the anise, on the other hand, fans of the well-known black candy will appreciate the work of the designers of the 4 n ° of this new Candy Sweet range. The bar is high when defying a product such as this one, it is to be precise because missing a shot can be expensive.
The small frenchy company can be reassured on this choice, it is quite bluffing of realism, wish to this juice a long life.
It is also entirely suitable for first-time vapers who wish to start with a naturally recognized tobacco substitute: licorice. The choice of a 50/50 base is also a good point to save material and to give a comfortable share to the flavor without neglecting the production of vapor.
Good luck to you, see you soon.
