Comments on the packaging
D'Lice is the French manufacturer, what am I saying! Correzien! which is no longer to be presented in the foggy sphere of the vape and it is celebrating its 10th anniversary! In 10 years, a lot has happened and D'Lice has put many quality liquids on the market. It brings together its best creations in a new range, offering them XL packaging and a new base for recipes. Today, we are going for a tour of the tobacco side with Le USA Mint.
USA Mint is presented in a flexible plastic bottle with a capacity of 75 ml. It is filled with 50ml of liquid and you can complete the bottle with 1 or 2 nicotine boosters or neutral base, to obtain 70ml of liquid in 0, 3 or almost 6 mg/ml of nicotine. As I said above, the base of the recipe has been adapted in this new range and the PG/VG ratio goes from 70/30 to 50/50. You will find USA Mint for €19,9 on the merchant site or at brand retailers.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
D'Lice is nevertheless a manufacturer which has obtained the AFNOR standard for its liquids and which guarantees the origin of its liquids. I am therefore not surprised to find that all the legal and security requirements are present.
D'Lice even goes beyond the requirements, since all the pictograms are present, even those which are not invited on the label of nicotine-free liquids. So congratulations ladies and gentlemen for your seriousness in this area.

Comments on the packaging
The visual at D'Lice is above all functional. The color of the liquid name is chosen based on the flavor. USA Mint is steel blue reminiscent of mint. The name is written in large print and the brand name is right next to it, or below, depending on how you hold the bottle. It's not very fun, not very original, but it does the job.
I especially note the presence of a QR code which sends you back to the page of the merchant site. It is very useful for reading the information necessary for your consumption, for browsing the site and perhaps finding other liquids to taste.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Former smokers of menthol cigarettes know that this type of liquid is essential in the palette of a good liquidator. The association of blond tobacco and peppermint is as old as the existence of the vape. Everything will be in the dosage of the mint and the quality of the flavor of the tobacco. Let’s taste then to get an idea!
I open the bottle and the blond tobacco mix with the mint is conclusive. The two ingredients are clearly recognized and mix nicely. On the inhale, peppermint fills my palate and cools my breath. Where did the tobacco go? I take a puff to go in search of it... I feel it very slightly in the middle of the vape and at the end. But he shines with his discretion. Peppermint is all over the place. Very well transcribed, not very sweet, it is pleasant. On the other hand, I am disappointed with the discretion of the tobacco flavor. It turned into a peppermint liquid.
The vapor is normal, fragrant. The aromatic power of this mint is good, it stays in the mouth for a long time. The freshness provided is measured and does not take your throat away. Tobacco… is absent. Pity.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
With the PG/VG ratio of 50/50, USA Mint can be used on all materials. A lukewarm vape makes the liquid pleasant. You can even vape it in DL if you want to refresh your throat. But I preferred in MTL to have the feeling of the tight vape.

My mood ticket on this juice
A classic mint that lacks tobacco flavor, it gives a mint liquid. It's nice too, but it's not what I expected. Lovers of measured menthol flavors will find qualities in it and will make it their Top Juice. The Vapelier gives it a score of 4,38/5 for the transcription of peppermint.
