Comments on the packaging
Today, we are returning to the haute couture brand Dream Steam to test a second e-liquid with a gourmet name, the 555 Manhattan Coffee. Of course, I tried to look for the meaning of this name and in particular of the number but nothing really opportune jumped out at me. 555 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, there is a business building but I don't see the connection. Too bad, the name of this e-liquid will keep all its mystery like that of ZZ Top its own… Again, we would have had 666, I would probably have had a little idea but 555, no, I don't see… 😉
The conditioning is one of the most perfect that I have seen. An elegant black velvet pouch stamped with the logo of the brand encloses the precious bottle, of course, but it also contains a small 5ml bottle of aroma, called Mazhar, which has a particular utility that we will develop later.
In the meantime, nothing to report on the consumption information which is, as usual with the brand, perfectly clear. Attention, I specify that the dosage of nicotine is indeed 8mg / ml and not 9mg / ml. By multiplying the dosages, we are forced to readjust the protocol every day!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
It's not complicated, everything is there! A BBD as a bonus! No complaints and no poison to distill, compliance with the regulations in force is unassailable. We note the presence of water which, in my opinion, is not a problem but rather a solution and whose harmfulness is far from being demonstrated by any study, even from marlboratories ... 👿

Comments on the packaging
The price is high but the packaging is up to par. We have a splendid cobalt blue bottle so dark that it appears jay black, very interesting therefore to protect the juice from UV rays, a classy velvet pouch that acts as a box and wraps everything and the famous little bottle, well presented him too, which completes this high performance vape kit. The label, very FUUienne, is up to the task with these sober and classic colors and we really have the impression of having in hand a rare and expensive object, which is not just an impression.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Never has an e-liquid so deserved its name. Because it is indeed a coffee that Dream Steam serves us with the Manhattan. And we are very far from the approximations usually encountered in coffee juices which in general look more like je ne sais quoi or even anything ...and vice versa!
Here we have realistic coffee. I repeat: realistic! And who in addition has the luxury of being excellent. Sweet, very lightly flowery, it sometimes lets escape a few curls of cocoa or a few nuances of roasting, as does very well an Arabica from Ethiopia of great origin. In the background, we have a blond tobacco color that takes shape but very soft, as being used to support the recipe to better highlight it.
But in the end, only the depth of this generous coffee persists in the mouth.
The small 5ml vial comes in when you want to change this taste and give it a particularity. Indeed, if you add a single drop of aroma in your tank, the orange blossom mixes with the black beverage to propel us into hot countries where coffee is taken with oriental pastries. Very successful and fun, this addition changes the entire balance of the recipe and really gives a much more Mediterranean aspect to this offshoot of New York.
I want to salute this experience which gives us two liquids in one. To my knowledge, a first!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Very stable between 12 and 20W, the 555 Manhattan Coffee is distorted a little further by emphasizing tobacco, which adds bitterness. This juice has an ideal viscosity to suit any type of material. However, be sure to favor a flavor-type atomizer to take advantage of the hidden nuances just waiting to be revealed.

My mood ticket on this juice
Bluffing. The 555 Manhattan Coffee is perfect for those with an immoderate taste for the little black. And in addition, it is not just any coffee but a dense and very aromatic coffee that you can vape without getting excited and without preventing you from sleeping!
Added to this is the great first to be able to diametrically modify the taste of this e-liquid by adding a drop of orange blossom. And at that point, the juice changes dramatically and takes on a whole different personality. We change our taste, we change the meridian and even the hemisphere!
Schizophrenic, overpriced and beautifully bottled, this nectar is a potent allday. Too bad its elitist price does not put it definitely out of the reach of those who could easily vape it all the time. But I do not shy away from my pleasure to have been able to test this delicacy, I am heavily addicted to coffee, and I highly recommend it for exceptional occasions when you want a high-end juice full of surprises and flavors. . Typically the gift to give to a vapoteur for his little Christmas!
