Info about the Company: You guys already know that I love this company — based in France, they have a line of five handcrafted juices, including Shinshiro, made by artisans in their own lab. And
VG/PG Ratio: 55/45 split.
Smell Test: I’m American, and I have certain memories when certain smells hit me. This juice? It reminds me of spicy Coke. No, not the drug — the drink. The separate ingredients — Thai spice, red fruit, and bourbon vanilla — combine just right to make a Coke soda smell. And I love it.
Another way to describe it would be this: if you’ve ever worked at restaurant, you’ll know that Coke is made with syrup and carbonated water, right? Well, this smells just like that syrup.
Vapor Production: Even though this is a more balanced split, the vapor production is still good. My living room still smells like this, and it’s been about 20 minutes.
Throat/Nose Hit: Slight throat and nose hit, but that’s to be expected from this VG/PG ratio split. It dissipates after a few vapes.
Flavor: Again, this might be because I’m American, but it tastes like spiced coke. (That’s not a bad thing, if that’s what you’re thinking.) The spice definitely takes a back seat to the vanilla and red fruit on the inhale, but come back as a smooth undertone on the exhale. This juice is perfect for people who love spiced vanilla and red fruit.
Pairs Well With: Whisky — if you vape it first, and then have a sip of whisky on the rocks, you’ll get almost a cocktail whisky-and-coke flavor.
All Day Vape or Once In A While: I could vape this all day, but I’m probably in the minority. I won’t vape it all day, just because this is a premium e-juice and I vape…a lot.
Pricing: 25USD for a 30ml bottle. On the pricier side. Definitely a good investment.
Repurchase: I’m biased and I love this brand, so yes. Again, as with the Benedicte, it’d have to be a special occasion, as 25USD is a lot to spend on a juice. But if someone wants to pick it up for me, I have no problem with that!
