Comments on the packaging

Third little tour at Boston Shaker Vape, the new Alsatian sensation, after a shattering start to the range with a divine “La Part des Anges” and a turbulent but cuddly “Mademoiselle Sophie”. So today we are finishing with the Short Juices range with “Le Secret d'Hippocrate”, the youngest of the band which therefore presents itself as a little mystery to be solved.

A 10ml mystery, comfortably installed in a glass bottle and available in 0, 3, 6 and 12mg / ml. The base chosen is in 30/70 ratio PG / VG and it is clear that so far, it has been quite successful in the range.

It is therefore with confidence that we can embark on the exploration of the secrets of Hippocrates, the great Greek doctor before Zeus, to whom we owe ethics in medicine and the oath of the same name.

Comments on the packaging

I love this packaging, sober and classy, ​​which evokes aged spirits. 

The central label is brown, the golden typography stands out perfectly and there is finally room for a little redemptive emptiness, one that allows a designer to better showcase the simple beauty of his line.

On the other hand, like on a bottle of wine, another label takes care of the dirty work by declaiming the heavy prose of the obligatory information on two floors, the label being removable and repositionable. 

Everything is charming and very well appointed. There is something for everyone: art aesthetes, consumers eager for knowledge and zealous officials of the Holy Inquisition.

Comments on the taste of the juice

The very distinctive smell of the Secret of Hippocrates had already informed me a little about the composition of taste. But I was far from suspecting the real complexity of this liquid.

As soon as the steam enters the mouth, we feel an intense aroma of lemongrass, slightly sweet. After a few puffs, we can guess the presence of gin that accompanies this vegetable procession. The liquid seems to be peppery, which has the effect of bringing out the hit a little above normal for this nicotine level.  

On the exhale, a bitter presence betrays the presence of tea, clearly enough not to have to search. 

Not being able to be satisfied with how I feel, I was therefore sinned for additional information in order to complete the analysis. So it seems that the Secret of Hippocrates is composed of Sancho berry, lemongrass, gin, red tea, green tea and mastiha liqueur. As much to say to you that, even if I had identified the elements which I knew, I do not know more than you the taste of the bay of Sancho or the mastiha !!! The famous secret will therefore remain total, for me at least.

It is difficult to judge when one is ignorant of several elements of an aromatic composition. I think the recipe is balanced, between sugar and bitterness and that the result may appeal to refined palates, more in love with herbaceous flavors. Personally, the presence of lemongrass makes me flee like a (big) basic mosquito and I will therefore spend my turn on this liquid, recognizing however a very strong originality worthy of interest.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Secret of Hippocrates is an e-liquid to be treated with care. Although accepting to rise in temperature without losing its balance, it will be at its best served lukewarm / cold in a flavor-type atomizer. The vapor is very abundant and contributes a lot to the pleasure of its discovery.

Absolute anti-allday, he vows rather at the festive moments or, conversely, at certain moments of solitude necessary to appreciate his manifest strangeness with devotion.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Aperitif, End of lunch / dinner with a digestive
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.16 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

What an e-liquid that will make people talk about it! Good for those who like to vape original and innovative, bad for those who prefer the reassuring presence of a known recipe. In any case, and it is undoubtedly the mark of the great juices, it will not leave indifferent and it is a quality in the current vapology, more concerned with the imitation of a competitor's best-selling juice than with the creation. pure. Here, we reach a certain height of audacity which will strongly appeal to amateurs.

A balanced recipe, a new taste, a unique proposition and a price in unison, here are the major ingredients of the Secret of Hippocrates as of its siblings of the range. But as much the first two will have seduced me with the same weapons, as much I am not a customer of this proposal, this being due only to a subjective feeling and a very personal aversion for citronella.

The only thing that is obvious is that this is an exceptional liquid, in every sense of the word. You will have to go through your own test to find out if you are in the clan of worshipers or detractors.
