Comments on the packaging

It is in the world of fun that FUU decides to take us for this review. The Tropic Guerilla from the Original Silver range revamps its recipe to deliver the flavors of a drink appreciated by many, in this case the cherry flavored cola. If the cola flavor is an aroma that is well mastered by most of the creators, the cherry represents many interpretations not always up to the task! What will happen to this one?

TPD obliges, the universe which was a trademark among the 2 Jean of the “Fuutosphere” complies with the legislation and offers a 10ml capacity in smoked PET for light protection from solar attacks. The seal is always of good quality and very difficult to open for the first consumption. That's a good point.

The visibility of the information on the rates of PG / VG (60/40) is exposed in a minimalist way but the latter are, all the same, detectable. The nicotine level is immediately visible since it is located on the “front cover” as one could say. For this range, this rate exists in 4 variations: 4, 8, 12 and 16 mg / ml. There is also the “0” rate for interested consumers.

The price is € 6,50 for a 10ml vial. Which places it in the middle range of our protocol. FUU is like a kind of family towards its “addictophiles” and this price gap which exists in relation to the competition does not pose any more problems than that. It is Fuu Life.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

FUU gives us a “scrollable” label with all the information that must be highlighted for this quarter of 2017. TPD obliges, alerts of all levels are written so as not to be caught off guard.

Batch number, DLUO, stickers for the visually impaired, pictogram with the exclamation point for the nicotine level of 4mg / ml etc… .. The instructions warn of the dangers of misuse as well as the actions to be taken.

In the vial which I use as a test, the prohibition against minors and the one for pregnant women are notified in writing and visually for one, but the pictogram of “the lady with a big belly” is missing. Surprising because it seems that, according to some documents, these 2 alerts should be doubled.

Thin, suddenly, I will not be able to test it !!!!!! Okay, I'm going over it. Nothing stops me, I'm a smoker!

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The range has put aside the old packaging and takes on a more “black and steel” feel. The label gives a feeling of thickness in the joints between these 2 colors (this is only an interpretation).

The diamond, which is the image that accompanies the name of the brand, undergoes a slight “restyling” as well as the name of the company. 

And as it is written on the label, the liquid is “made in France with love”.

Comments on the taste of the juice

So, indeed, cola is present in first intention and the cherry that comes mix with is a good cherry as one could say. But, because there is a but, it's sad ....

I expected to have a sweet swing with a sparkling impression on the palate. Here, none of that. It is certainly a cherry cola, but it lacks “Peps”, madness.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

When something is missing from the call, it must be spent on the maximum of support and in different powers and different assemblies to be in agreement with yourself.

Serpent Mini, Taifun GT2, Subtank Mini, Narda, Royal Hunter, Igo L etc…. From 13W base to the maximum of what can withstand a liquid in 60/40 on a dripper. 1.5Ω assemblies going down to 0.40Ω. Nothing gave me the kick and the crazy taste I expected from the described drink base.

This remains a cherry cola without unfortunately: o (

My mood ticket on this juice

As it says on the FUU website: “The Tropic Guerilla recipe has changed several times ..”. Starting from this postulate, I told myself that it had to contain a “Cherry cola container” by dint of trials, adjustments and readjustments !!! So, it is in deception mode that the test ends.

It is a good Cola / Cherry liquid. You can feel it when you open the bottle and when you taste it. Nothing to say about it but it is so banal. It is one of many recipes that many competitors can offer. And like many, this little extra thing is missing that should make ”WOUAHHHH“.

Instead of this dithyrambic onomatopoeia, I can only leave room for unfulfilled waiting. This Tropic Guerilla did not sound trumpets, guns, war cries. Only a “Hmmmm” of regret.
