Comments on the packaging

Terrible Cloud, the enfant terrible of the Breton vape, had brilliantly started its activity with a High VG range which had made a lot of talk! Today, the manufacturer is back with the Totem range, a range of premium juices in 50/50 with a PG / VG ratio, perhaps wiser but which promises us interesting taste universes to explore.

The Shaman is therefore the turbulent wizard of the feathered band. It is offered to us in four different nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6 and 11mg / ml, which is enough to cover the needs of lovers of complex liquids, already well advanced in their quest for good taste in the vape. 

Assembled on a base traditionally known to be of a very good flavor / vapor ratio and of excellent quality of provenance (vegetable and non-petrochemical origin), the Chaman is packaged in a simple 10ml PET bottle and displays all the information that the vapoteur needs to make his choice.

Offered at € 5.90, it is positioned in the entry-level segment, a sign of a certain appreciable humility in these times of wallets with holes!

A good start in sum. So, let's bury the pipe and go on the warpaths to see what the wizard has in the belly!

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

Even if Brittany is not quite France, the brand is in tune with the TPD and offers us a salutary perfection in the chapter of compliance.

Presence of legal pictograms, necessary warnings, of the notice located under the label and visible by peeling it off then repositioning it in its original state, nothing is missing. Not even the DLUO and the batch number. The Grand Sachem can be happy, Terrible Cloud has made exemplarity in the field its hobbyhorse and there is no criticism that holds in the face of such work of upgrading.

It is even pleasant to note that, despite the profusion of information, we never lose the visibility necessary to decipher it. A good additional point which ends this episode with a perfect score.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

This concern for quality is reflected in the packaging, very well thought out and designed.

Indeed, we know that the new regulations prohibit any image, on a bottle or in the promo, making you want to consume the liquid. Thus, no reference to fruits, cakes, tobacco (it has become a bad word!) And all the elements that could give an indication of what the product promises.

Some manufacturers have opted for very neutral bottles by playing on color codes. Still others have chosen very “medicinal” bottles devoid of any aesthetic attempt. Terrible Cloud has chosen a third, appreciable way, by illustrating its e-liquid with a symbolic totem, which types the packaging while being within the nails of the law.

It's pretty, it stands out from the multitude and it gives a specific cachet to the juice and the range, in the western imagination, but for once, more on the Apache side than that of Buffalo Bill.

Successful and refreshing!

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Come on, once is not customary, I break the mystery straight away: the Shaman is a pure delight!

The juice is built on a base of blond tobacco. Quite thick and present on the palate, it nevertheless avoids the overly pronounced bitterness typical of its use. On the contrary, even if its strength is very real, it is accompanied by a sweet roundness, typical of a very ripe Virginian.

Above, the gourmet elements take care of finalizing the mutation by revealing their notes of dried fruits and finely roasted coffee. 

The balance of the assembly is the key to the great success of this liquid which does not forget any of the flavors promised in the result of its equation. Thus, the macadamia nut, closely mixed with the coffee, brings a typical and sweet color, without numbing the tobacco.

A recipe perfectly accomplished and finesse, allday likely fans of the category. Bravo!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Very comfortable in any evaporation device and at full power, the Shaman asks to be vaporized at a warm / hot temperature. 

The aromatic power is very correct and will not be a brake on very open ventilation. The hit is normal for the rate and steam volume quite comfortable. 

Tasted with an espresso, it's a killer.

My mood ticket on this juice

The Shaman of Terrible Clouds presents a major flaw: when we start to vape it, we can not stop! 10ml fallen in a single day are the absolute proof.

If you like thin gourmet tobacco and well built, you can not ignore this liquid that arises in the archetype of the category. In addition, its price is very friendly given its quality, which is a sign of the good spirit of the manufacturer!

The ancestors can rest easy, the squaws take care of the papooses and the warriors put away their tomahawks, it is time to dig up the electronic peace pipe and to vape this nectar!
