Comments on the packaging

By multiplying its ranges and brands, VDLV does not become a leading manufacturer. No, he was already doing that long before by being the first to demonstrate the need for transparency and high standards in the quality of components. No, in doing so, VDLV is today establishing itself as a multi-faceted manufacturer by occupying all sectors of the different forms of vape.

With the Black Cirkus range, we are propelled behind the scenes of the circus or intersect colorful characters, atypical and talented, in an early twentieth decor that plays on the nostalgic rope of our popular tradition.

The packaging of La femme à barbe is therefore consistent with the range and therefore has the same characteristics. Clear information for the consumer, a measured price and the promise of a different taste character.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.25 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

What can we blame a brand on the security chapter when it was one of the pioneers in the field? Nothing.

Everything is there, in good battle order and it is not the presence of water or that of alcohol that will tarnish this idyllic picture. The water, of pharmaceutical quality, is used to thin the mixtures and alcohol, in addition to its flavor enhancer aspect and its ability to help preservation, is sometimes used as a basis for diluting the aromas. If we add to this the established fact that no scientific study has come to demonstrate their harmfulness, I think we are good.

Appreciation of the packaging

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

Comments on the packaging

Aesthetic, timeless and made with talent, the packaging is perfect. Regarding the price, it even looks to the higher category.

We will particularly appreciate the black glass of beautiful craftsmanship which will help to protect the liquid better than a transparent glass and the magnificent label which presents to us the “fairground monster”, as it was described of yesteryear, in attractive but therefore possessing a hairy characteristic that I share with her: the famous white beard.

It's successful, attractive and playful and it's hard not to be receptive to the emotional capacity of this poster.

NdA: For those who still think that the packaging does not have any importance, the manufacturers will all soon release neutral packaging in 10ml, in sealed plastic, for about 33% more expensive (taxation obliges). So all you have to do is wait a few months to be perfectly happy.

Comments on the taste of the juice

At Vapelier, we made a point of vaping at least 5ml of an e-liquid in order to have an exhaustive view. Indeed, if some liquids are obvious at the start, others are more devious or need to be tamed. Still others have a very positive first impact and quickly get bored. Or, conversely, some go badly at first and quickly become addictive thereafter. In order to be serious in our work, we therefore try to go to the end of the user experience.

This time and for the first time, I couldn't.

The bearded woman is not for me. I can feel the promised violet as well as the marshmallow. The advertised cotton candy is largely down, but why not? I also concede that the liquid is original and that lovers of floral curiosities will be able to find their happiness there. It's sweet, but not overly caricature. And I am not resistant to floral flavors either, I was a fervent admirer of E-Senses for a long time ...

No, for me the problem is elsewhere. The juice quickly makes me nauseous and makes me sick. I am all the more sorry that I am a true lover of this range which I find in many ways perfectly successful but there, I cannot go further than the 2ml that I painfully vaped, plagued by the pangs of bodily rejection that I had only encountered once before, with the Rocket Fuel Vapes.

In summary, it is difficult for me to comment on the bearded woman. Too special, too chemical, too Too much? I do not know. I cordially invite you to substantiate your opinion for yourself and even to post comments to share your experience with us because I am aware that this opinion is subjective.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

I mounted a “normal” 1.4Ω resistor on a rebuildable one. I vaped between 14 and 20W. It seems to me that The Bearded Woman is intended for a cushy vape. There is also a “Vapers Edition” version suitable for higher powers. The juice disintegrates a little as it increases in power and a lukewarm temperature serves it better. Then I took a Doliprane.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of day: Overnight for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 3.91 / 5 3.9 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Originality is an advantage in modern vaping. It is a risky card, but it often pays off when a juice manages to impose its particular character despite the preconceptions. Many e-liquids have surfed on their personality to become standards.

Sometimes, however, a recipe can be so “special” that the opposite effect occurs and we end up with a completely opaque juice when it comes to its goal. I have the impression that this is what happened with The Bearded Woman, whose great originality we cannot deny, but which has the disadvantage of getting lost on a taste path that we do not fully understand. the destination.

I did not like The Bearded Woman. It is not a value judgment and besides the juice obtains a very correct note but well a personal feeling which I express. I can only do with my palate and since everyone has their own, I cordially invite you to form your own opinion.
