Comments on the packaging

Today we will travel to the Caribbean Sea and more specifically to Turtle Island. This place in the West Indies, well known to the pirates who raged in its waters, has the particularity of being the first territory of Saint Domingue, colonized by the French.
With this preamble, you guessed that we are going to talk about Buccaneer's Juice and more specifically the recipe: Tortuga.

15 or 30ml tinted glass bottle (until 2017), fine-tipped glass pipette. The potion will be ideally preserved from the ravages of time passing, such as UV radiation.
Wide choice offered in nicotine dosages since ranging from 0 to 16 mg / ml, skip the 3, 6 & 11 mg / ml.
The PG / VG ratio settles at the versatile value of 50/50, allowing the potion to be consumed on the majority of atomization devices on the market.

The price finally. It is competitive and interesting for complex and elaborate juices, falling in the category of entry-level 8,90 € 15 ml.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The smell gives off a pleasant sensation mixed on a fresh lemony base.

"Dive into the emerald waters and discover the hidden flavors of the island of a thousand and one hackers. Made from a base of alcoholic drink freshly stolen from merchant ships and transcended by sweet notes of limes, this elixir is cradled in an absinthe bed and sublimated by a slight freshness on expiration."

I took 3, 4 puffs, like that, blindly, just to see the effect. And without dispute, we are in the presence of an effective and complex juice.
Lime is dominant. As the description indicates, it gives the impression of being green or lime. Not acidic, just with a slight astringency to add body to the recipe.
The following ingredients then serve as a support for a contribution of homogeneity maintaining the alchemy.
The juice is well balanced, the touch of absinthe diffuses a slight anise sensation at the end of the exhalation, marrying ideally with rum, which I imagine rather white and not very dry ...

The freshness is present, but subtly and not at all in the usually associated minty effect. I don't really see the aroma used; even if, without contradicting myself, I could imagine it in the form of a few crystals of menthol added sparingly ...

The aromatic power is frank, without being excessive. It will go hand in hand with the assembly of the atomizer and the power delivered. The mouthfeel is moderate; there remains the feeling of fresh ... hence the ingredient I mentioned previously.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 40 W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Medium
  • Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Haze & Avocado 22
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0,4Ω

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The more you raise the temperature, the stronger the feeling of freshness. That's why I thought about menthol crystals.
If the juice does not denature, I have not found the optimal tasting. So I opted for a more reasonable and flavor oriented assembly. There, I find the homogeneity which makes it possible to decipher the complexity of the recipe and to savor the work of the flavorists.

My mood ticket on this juice

Top Juice! Normal, considering the quality of the realization.

Gustatively, the recipe will not please everyone and this is quite normal. It is complex, requires some effort and attention for its full and complete tasting, but what quality of preparation… Flavorists have high-value know-how and I imagine their ingredients of good quality.

Added to an operation not suffering from any criticism, plus compliance with the rules in force; this is a very legitimate distinction on the part of the Vapelier.

A great effort also from our northerners from Avap - C Liquide France to offer juices of this level at an entry-level price.

The inspiration for these Buccaneer's is very interesting, savoring them, a pleasure.

Say, pirates! There are other references that I did not send me… I only ask to write the evaluation…

Good vape,

About the Author

Follower of the tobacco vape and rather "tight" I do not balk in front of good greedy clouders. I love flavor-oriented drippers but am very curious about the evolutions of our common passion for personal vaporizers. Good reasons to make my modest contribution here, no?
