Comments on the packaging
Private labels are undeniably popular. Operating on a very broad taste field and within the reach of beginners and experienced alike, they add a significant factor to the equation: a price generally below average.
Today, we are opening the rich catalog of e-liquids from Taffe-elec. You cannot be a vaper and ignore this online distributor which, for more than ten years, has been delighting cloud lovers, whether with the steam machines or the fuel that we put inside.
This range therefore covers all taste categories with a predominance of strong and clear flavors. Those that bad tongues call mono-flavors even though they are generally much more complex than we believe. Indeed, in a chiaded and very complicated liquid, the vaper can always catch up with the branches of an aromatic ingredient that he likes. Whereas, when we make a liquid called “Cherry”, it has no choice. Either it looks like cherry or it's a dud. In fact, not only are supposedly simple liquids important for the taste education of beginners, but they are also essential because they often bring us back to the reality of simple things.
In the well-stocked catalog of Taffe-elec juices, there is of course a section dedicated to gourmets. This is where we are going to camp tonight with a liquid called The Beast.
Available in several formats, La Bête is assembled at a rate of 50/50 PG/VG, reasonable to be able to be vaped in all devices. I have in my hands a 50 ml bottle of concentrated aroma whose capacity of 70 ml will easily allow the addition of one or two boosters in order to reach levels of 3 mg/ml or 6 mg/ml. Note, however, the presence of a lid that tilts to make the transfer of boosters extremely easy and a particularly thin dropper which will suit all atomizers or pods.
La Bête also exists in 10 ml with levels of 0, 3, 6 and 11 mg/ml available. As for the prices, they leave you dreaming! €9.90 for a 50 ml bottle and €3.90 for a 10 ml bottle. Here, we are on a mega-serious vaper-friendly option!
Not to mention that, unlike the majority of distributor brands, this is not a white label but rather products developed by Taffe-elec and manufactured by a partner laboratory. And since we were talking about icing, here's the one on the cake: no sucralose in these liquids!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Not only were the development and manufacturing careful, but so was the safety. Everything is there, no need to look for the little “beast” on the big one.
The brand even dares to be as transparent as possible by listing the potentially allergenic compounds contained in the liquid. It's perfect !

Comments on the packaging
Here we have simple, sober packaging, not devoid of a certain elegance with its pastel shades which are a little reminiscent of the watercolorist Folon. A few recognizable ingredients seem to fall from the sky. It's pretty and fresh.
Which does not exclude excellent visibility in the information. It feels good not to have to take out the magnifying glass to read!

Comments on the taste of the juice
First contact with La Bête, first remark: the taste is clear and the hit quite imposing for a gourmand. The richness of the liquid is evident from the first puff. I was expecting a “simple” liquid, and I was served! Fortunately the aromas are precise, it will simplify my task!
We're looking at a vanilla cream at first, with a fairly milky caramel note just behind. The recipe is further enriched with nuts of which hazelnut is the most obvious emanation. A delicious hazelnut that goes perfectly with the “vanilla caramel custard” combo.
During the puffs, a fairly subtle but fair pecan enhances the perception of nuts while a relatively intense dash of coffee boosts and adds pep to the liquid.
The recipe is very mastered, the balance is perfect and we avoid the trap of being too fatty by having a rather dry and nervous juice, sweet without excess which can be easily vaped all-day.
In short, it’s successful, delicious while still being gourmet. Very good pick for this first contact with the Taffe-elec range.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The hit is serious, the volume of vapor dense and well structured. The median viscosity of La Bête opens the doors to a very large majority of atomizers, which is an undeniable plus. Tested on a large DL clearo, the mouthfeel is full and the aromatic power does not disappoint. Tried on a small MTL pod, the Flexus Stick, its precision allows it to win the day.
Foodies often enjoy themselves best at selected times of the day. Here, nervousness and dynamism of the juice oblige, we can easily vape it without stopping. Its moderation in sugar also allows it. To be combined with an espresso, an amber rum or on its own for indulgence!

My mood ticket on this juice
Half the price of the average, very well manufactured and packaged, completely safe and in compliance with legislation, all that was missing was an interesting taste to win the prize! And this is definitely the case with La Bête which, definitely, lives up to its surname.
A gourmet/gourmet juice, the pleasure of vaping it as you wish without ever feeling nauseated, availability for all evaporation systems, what else? Ah, yes, a Top Vapelier!
