Comments on the packaging

Wanaka is a fruity liquid, it is part of the range E-lixirs whose taste categories are diverse. Proposed by Solana, it is a French product packaged in a small semi-rigid plastic bottle of 10ml. Totally opaque, it perfectly protects the contents of the light, therefore the liquid will keep well in time.

The mixture is also proportioned in propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin: 50/50 PG / VG for a good division between flavor and vapor.

This liquid offers a panel of nicotine levels with 3 different dosages in addition to the 0: 3mg, 6mg and 12mg / ml. At the same time, I discovered that this flavor is also made in DIY concentrate for those who prefer to make their own e-liquid themselves. My vial for this test is 3mg / ml.

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

Although to my taste the 10ml bottle is a bit small because it reminds me of samples the future rules will impose it on us from 2017, so we will have to get used to it and this product is a good example of compliance because the safe cap avoids the risk of accident in order to protect children, the danger pictogram indicates the presence of nicotine, it is widely visible. The relief triangle-shaped marking is located on the cap and feels good to the touch for the visually impaired. However, to be fully compliant on the label, the pictograms are missing: relief, prohibited for children under 18, and not recommended for pregnant women, even though these last two pieces of information are written in full.

The composition, the precautions and the recommendations take practically half of the label in order to be sufficiently readable. Just contiguous to these inscriptions we find in a white vertical band, the proportion PG / VG, the lot number and the DLUO, but be careful, I advise you to place a piece of tape over it because these inscriptions tend to s' to erase.

The nicotine level is noted under the name of the range. The name of the liquid is indicated roughly in the direction of the length not to be mistaken of flask. The laboratory that manufactured this juice provides an address and a telephone number if necessary. Solana has been putting up the poison center number, which is rare!

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

Comments on the packaging

The packaging is elegant with a completely black bottle as the bottom of the label. The graphics and inscriptions are nuanced in silver, white and gray colors.

In the foreground we have a capital "S" with the name of the range and the nicotine level which makes it possible to identify this product, then by turning the bottle a little, we can read the name of the liquid in a vertical silver rectangle, accompanied by a tribal symbol. A little further, we read the useful and important information that occupy half of the label.

A rather standardized packaging for a range that looks a lot like a flask to another, only the name of the product and the associated design, next door, differentiate them from other flasks. However it is a product that is at the entry level and remains correct in its packaging. Personally, I would have liked a more blatant distinction.

Comments on the taste of the juice

At the smell we smell a fairly fine, fruity, sweet and exotic. I admit to having trouble distinguishing the perfumes precisely but the look is of the yellow fruit type.

On the vape side, the mixture is quite subtle, a faithful description of the ingredients proves to be complicated, because the flavors are well mixed and the balance seems rather homogeneous. However, I have the impression of having a peach taste in the mouth with a more marked flavor for the kiwi which brings a rather original touch. The fruits are tasty and I appreciate having a nice consistency in the mouth, even if the mouthfeel is fleeting.

All in all it is a mixture that has a fruity orientation, exotic brought by the kiwi and not to displease me but it is a general taste that does not attract me especially.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

It is a fruity liquid, which is vape on all the powers, that said, the more you mount the watts, the less the fruity taste is marked.

The steam on the other hand is very beautiful, the juice adapts really well to the sub-ohm to offer beautiful clouds. As for the hit, it corresponds very well to the rate indicated on the bottle.

My mood ticket on this juice

This Wanaka is beautiful is a fruity liquid with flavors in the mouth that are very well mixed. However the taste is not really original except the kiwi that brings a little exoticism. The realization is correct but I find that the fishing flavor lacks authenticity, that said, it is not only on this liquid but on all in general. I do not know, but this aroma does not go very well in vape, it is not natural enough.

Overall the product remains correct with sober packaging and an opaque bottle for only 10ml. There is nothing to say about the compliance of safety equipment which remains exemplary, some efforts will have to be made to ensure the same compliance with the labeling.

This liquid offers a nice consistency in the mouth which is reflected in the vapor. Because by increasing the power, I found it much denser than a liquid in 50% vegetable glycerin. Very surprising also, it is the flavor, rather powerful with a rather rich taste.
