Comments on the packaging

The Monocled Vulture is a psittacine raptor from the family of flying crustaceans, native to the Landes Cordillera. He is also a member of LREM (Les Rapaces En Monocle). But you shouldn't take him for a buzzard! This formidable predator has a wingspan of 11 x 49.3 cm and a weight of 220 kg, yes it is heavy too. So when he attacks a prey, it is above all the prey that attacks... He is looking for the best girl to reproduce with, which explains his strange appendage on his eye in order to see more clearly in nightclubs. During the courtship display, he utters a strange cry: “Yipikaï, pov' cunt” to the attention of the other male suitors. It is a predator banned for life by the vegan community and hunted by the ecologists of the XNUMXth century. Paradoxically, he is particularly kind to children and knows how to sing Coucouroucoucou Paloma in all languages, including in the shower.

Fortunately for him and for us, the Monocle Vulture is also a new e-liquid from Vaporium which aims to introduce us to unsuspected gourmet delights. Obviously, this appeals to us at Vapelier since Le Vaporium brings us a tasteful masterpiece almost every time! Will this still be the case with this friendly bird?

It comes to us in a bottle carrying within it 60 ml of overdosed aroma. Ideally, you will vape it once lengthened so as to obtain 70 or 80 ml of mixture. Either a booster or a booster and 10 ml of neutral base to obtain 70 or 80 ml in approximately 3 mg/ml of nicotine. Either two boosters to obtain 80 ml in 6 mg/ml, or even 10 ml or 20 ml of neutral base to remain at zero. Personally, I just added a single booster, I'm greedy.

It comes in two formats though. The 60 ml one costs €24 and a 30 ml format costs €12.

The base is 100% vegetable, a guarantee of softness in the throat, increased safety and the craftsman makes it a point of honor not to add any sweetener or additive of any kind to his potions. You will therefore vape aromas on the one hand and the undeniable talent of Vaporium on the other!

Okay, come on, I already have drool running down the corners of my mouth, it's high time to move on!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

To fly safely, I'm not sure that the Bearded Vulture is the ideal means of transport! On the other hand, to vape safely, you can go for it! Nothing is missing in the legal obligations and information elements for the consumer. We even find the famous pictogram in relief for our visually impaired friends, which is certainly not obligatory but is certainly reassuring when placed on a bottle, especially when it is intended to be nicotine! A big tip of the hat!

You will also find the list of compounds that can cause problems for those who are allergic to them. Transparent, clean, square, that speaks for itself!

Comments on the packaging

This new Vaporium range undoubtedly arrives on the podium of packaging of the year. First, by the burlesque of the surnames but also by the illustrations associated with them on the bottle labels. I also suspect the manufacturer of having played a little with generative AI to obtain its degenerative mutants!

In any case, it works and it's better than working since it seduces, it makes you laugh, in short it entertains and ultimately, it's rare enough in vaping to be highlighted with a red marker. Be careful though, the image of the bearded vulture on the label seems to be that of the bearded vulture. This is a distant cousin from La Baule who prefers to eat caviar and sea urchins than meat.

Bravo with both hands for this slice of laughter!

Comments on the taste of the juice

Well, we'll start by saying that this liquid is one of the biggest slaps I've had this year! In the gourmet category, I don't think I have tested a better juice and yet, there have been some excellent ones. But here, it's something else.

Analyzing a Vaporium juice is always a great challenge because the mischievous flavorist excels in confusing and playing with our senses. Here, we feel caramel, or rather caramel. A tear of bitterness, a hint of milky sweetness, a sweet thrill and we move on to a candied chestnut jam which is revealed later. We recognize it by the typical and tasty thickness of the candied fruit.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg since scattered notes of nuts dot the tasting. Pecans, no doubt! Macadamia nuts, it seems. And maybe even some simple nuts, even cashews. But only the craftsman knows that.

In any case, we have an extremely delicious result, while remaining relatively modest in sugar and, logically, perfectly balanced. The overall taste is powerful, regressive, sweet and strong all at the same time. Old-school and modern at the same time. A nugget of good taste. Maybe even a new standard!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Thick steam, omnipresent flavors, you must serve Le Gypaète à Monocle in your best equipment. A pro pod, a slightly airy clearo or even one that can be reconstructed into a top coil! And give it power and temperature. Ideal in RDL, very good in DL and powerful in taste in MTL, nothing stops it if we take into account its higher than average viscosity.

To vape with hot milk, hot chocolate, espresso, it's billiards. Initially, this is a juice that I would recommend for moments of selfish pleasure but I have been vaping it all day and I am already starting the second half of the bottle! 😲

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - coffee breakfast, Morning - chocolate breakfast, End of lunch / dinner with a coffee, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a glass, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an all-day vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.59 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The gourmand of the year. Even several years. I don't know how they do it at Vaporium but each time, they manage to destabilize us and make us forget the foundations that we thought were foundational.

It is no longer a simple juice, it is a nectar, a colossal success in the category. I only have a “simple” Top Vapelier at my disposal so I’m giving it away but Le Gypaète à Monocle deserves much more than that: the Michelin Guide, the Gault & Millau! At this level, it is no longer even craftsmanship but artistic craftsmanship!
