Comments on the packaging

Berk Research is one of the (very) rare manufacturers to have obtained as many Top Juices Le Vapelier as references to its catalog.

Which, if you think about it, is not an advantage.

First of all because it is totally counter-productive for a laboratory which devotes itself “to researching Berk”, which is therefore missed.

And then, because it requires, with each new release, to do even better than the previous ones!

Nevertheless, an undeniable and massive commercial success has accompanied the brand since its beginnings. This commands respect and interest.

The bizarre manufacturer offers us today a liquid interpretation of a very famous dessert in the South of France with this Tarte Saint Trop', smelling good of Brigitte Bardot in a Madrague bikini, of Funès under her policeman's cap, the dresses the lightweights of the female jet set and the Seamasters of the yachtsmen.

The format is usual at Berk. 40 ml of liquid overdosed in aroma that will need to be extended with boosters, neutral base or a mixture of the two to obtain 60 ml of ready-to-vape. What oscillate between 0 and 6 mg / ml of nicotine, according to your needs.

A period of fourteen days will be necessary after mixing to obtain the gustatory grail. It may seem long, but remember that if you wait longer in a gourmet restaurant than in a fast food restaurant, it's for a good reason when you sit down to eat! 😉 We have nothing for nothing.

Besides, it's going to be time. I wash my hands, I put my napkin on my knees and I take out my fork, sorry, my ato!

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

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Everything is in full compliance with the regulations. Nothing sticks out, it's perfect.

This liquid, like all the others of the brand, nevertheless has a rare particularity. It is sucralose free. Certainly, it is not unique in its kind, the sweetener molecule not being in the odor of sanctity in the French vape. But, there is better, calm down! It is devoid of any sweetener!!! And there, it is much, much, less frequent.

No neotame, aspartame or hippopotamus. Neither xylitol, sorbitol, erythritol or capitol. Nothing, nada, nib! Just taste, that's all. Like what, you can be totally frapadingue and worry about the health of your customers.

Comments on the packaging

The Grand Ordonnateur of the Monsters Gallery has struck again and offers us a new emblematic character for our Tropézienne. This is reminiscent of the finest television performances of the pie.

Enough to join the rest of the tribe with their heads held high.

For the rest, we are on familiar ground. It's totally iconoclastic and the brand offers us a visual so different from the rest of the production that it's refreshing, funny and a little disturbing 🤣. We can therefore be serious without taking ourselves seriously.

Congratulations!

Comments on the taste of the juice

It all starts with a pronounced taste of brioche like we have never seen in e-liquid memory. It's stunningly realistic and evokes both panettone and orange blossom brioche braid.

Because there is orange blossom, as is customary in the initial recipe. So not that of the supermarkets. And it is in the brioche and not in the diplomat cream. There is the secret and that's good because it's exactly what we have in the mouth!

The cream expires. Recognizable thanks to its texture and a slight vanilla twist that softens the floral ardor.

The balance is amazingly accurate. At this level, it's almost an acrobat act because I remind you that there is no sweetener in the blend. And yet, the typical sweet note is there, accompanying with its sweetness the aromatic pretensions of the brioche.

A success for pastry lovers.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

With a PG/VG ratio of 50/50, the Tarte Saint Trop' offers a good balance between flavours/steam and notable aromatic power. We are not looking for the taste, we take it in the face!

To vape warm/hot in an RDL device to get the most out of it. Royal on a coffee, greedy as hell and yet vapable all-day. Do you have to wrap it up?

My mood ticket on this juice

Another undeniable success for the small artisanal manufacturer. The big secret is simple. Work, more work, always work! We carry out 100 different balancing operations to extract, perhaps, only one that will satisfy the flavorist and the consumers.

Recommended for lovers of orange blossom, popular gastronomy and jet skies.

Top Juice, again. Berk Research has no mercy. And that's what we love.
