Comments on the packaging
The winter will be harsh! And the dawning autumn reminds us of the first frosts.
While some urge us to wear turtlenecks or pee in the shower to compensate for the announced energy shortage, others, smarter, strive to lay us gourmet e-liquids, to vape hot, to warm us from the inside and bring us a dose of guiltless pleasure!
This is the case of La Fine Equipe, the Toulouse liquidator, which currently offers us two special edition juices. I was lucky, I came across the Gourgandine which, if it matches its name, will keep me warm all winter long!
La Fine Equipe is a couple, a family and a well-managed story on social networks. Vapers love them and that's normal. In addition to being providers of excellent references, they are nice, cute and very prone to gossip, which is not to displease me, a little sensuality in this world of brutes, that's always what won !
La Gourgandine is therefore presented dressed, which is a shame, in a 70 ml bottle carrying 60 ml of aroma. You can of course, and I advise you, extend it with 10 or 20 ml of booster or neutral base or a mixture of the two, just to cover a nicotine scale between 0 and 6 mg/ml.
Of course, initially, the liquid is 0 nicotine. But, and this is very interesting, it is also 0 sucralose, 0 additive and 0 sweetener! It is even 0 product of petrochemical origin since it uses a 100% vegetable base with an MPG/VG ratio of 40/60. Needless to say, here everything is done to respect good healthiness and perfect harmlessness.
The price is 19.90 €, a median price but which is enhanced by the team's decision to offer a premium liquid free of "perlimpinpin powder" to create an illusion.
Come on, hop, that's not all that but I'm already drooling over the label, it's time to conclude!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Nothing to say in this chapter. Everything is perfect, it's usual at La Fine Equipe. We note that the liquid is made by Laboravape, a leader in the vap'game. We are confident, it's perfect.
The brand indicates the presence of furaneol, which is an aromatic compound encountered very frequently in vaping, to alert the few people who are allergic to it. I assure you, if you have been vaping for more than 3 months and you have never tripled in volume, you can go for it! Furaneol is to vaping what eggs are to baking!

Comments on the packaging
We are in the usual delirium of Toulouse! The label reveals the bust of an attractive young lady whose assets seem obvious. Always in white on a black background, we stay in the graphic DNA of the brand and it's joyful and fun.
For those who don't know, a gourgandine is portrayed as an easy woman. I find that very reductive. We know that no woman is easy!!! 😈
On the other hand, nothing could be easier to visualize the numerous information on the bottle, it's clear, in white on black, I didn't even bother to take out my magnifying glass to be able to read it!

Comments on the taste of the juice
For the first gourmet of the fall, I admit I took a good slap!
We know the temptation of La Fine Equipe to offer different and sometimes a little baroque flavors but here, the brand revives a recipe which could seem classic but which brings so much comfort that we immediately see that La Gourgandine is an excellent vintage!
The first note that invades the palate on inhalation is a very intense biscuity flavor that will typify the tasting with its magnificent cereal and vanilla imprint. We almost feel a Breton puck, finely sanded and buttered. Very realistic and greedy to die for.
A note of milky espresso then appears. More discreet, it brings a consistency in the mouth and a texture to leave its mark during long caudalies. The finish is ensured by a vanilla note inherited from the biscuit which softens the puff.
The recipe is perfect in its expressiveness and balance. La Gourgandine is an excellent liquid, in perfect osmosis with its subject. Here we find all of what fans of the La Fine Equipe range like: a different way of doing things, very personal balances that work and great aromatic mastery.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The liquid viscosity is quite high but not excessive. It will therefore be at ease in a majority of atomizers.
To vape in RDL or MTL to further refine the flavors even if they do not really need it because the aromatic power, with 10 ml of booster in addition, is still important. We can therefore also try it in DL without problem.
Ideal with a coffee at the end of a meal, the gourmet aspects, if they are obvious, remain sufficiently “dry” to enter an all-day rotation without problem for sweet mouths.

My mood ticket on this juice
Winter Is Coming, as they say… Me, I don't care, keep your gas, your oil and your turtlenecks if you want but give me a box of La Gourgandine and I'll spend the winter with two fingers in my nose.
This liquid is the first great gourmet sensation of this back to school and I predict a bright future for it in all epicurean atomizers. Be careful, this is a special issue so maybe there won't be any for everyone, especially if I place an order tonight! 🙄
Top Vapelier of evidence for a young lady who is undoubtedly easy to consume but who must have been difficult to elaborate! Cheer !
