Comments on the packaging
In chapter 8 of this dark story we tackle a phenomenon, viscous and powerful: the dragon, or more exactly dragon oil, whose production must be a sacred adventure as it is not easy to obtain this winged animal. Nowadays. At valiant heart nothing impossible ! And of the heart we have at Alfaliquid.
This very serious national brand is one of the big names in vaping. Its production based on a code of ethics of excellence and safety, made up of nearly 100 different liquids, greatly contributes to the promotion of vaping and pulls this discipline upwards.
For this premium range: Dark Story, the juices are bottled in tinted glass vials that protect them better from sunlight than others, transparent.
While the PG / VG levels are not clearly visible on the label, but nevertheless present, there is no choice for this ratio in this range, which limits the possible errors.
Dragon Oil is a greedy fruitiness or the other way around, as you want, whose dominant note will probably remind you of another oil, of a more earthly and common reptile this one….

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The provision of safety accessories for the bottle has been anticipated for a long time by the vast majority of manufacturers, Alfaliquid was also one of the precursors.
For the administrative and information aspects, the Lorraine brand is at the top, with in addition a DLUO. We can only note the very great mastery of the brand with regard to the obligations imposed soon by the TPD, which must appear clearly on the packaging.
We note the existence of organic ethyl alcohol in very small proportions, it is used during the preparation of flavored solutions (extracts) entering into the composition of juices, it also serves as a fluidifier and flavor enhancer. Although its presence influences the score obtained in this section, it does not present any proven danger, and does not alter the flavors in any way, quite the contrary.

A serene atmosphere emanates from this drawing, evoking perhaps the recollection of the warrior, thanking the benevolent spirits having conceded victory over the dangerous creature spitting fire ... .. why not.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
On the smell, the anise stands out clearly to the point that the other ingredients cannot be discerned when cold, except the lime which opposes its characteristic fresh scent.
The taste is sweet, like an anise syrup slightly spiced by the better marked contribution of lime which also attenuates its natural vehemence, a strawberry coming to soften the acidulous heat of the citrus fruit, we are in the presence of a complex nectar elegantly dosed.
I admit, I cheated, I know the composition described on the site of this juice, I deliver it to you:
Milky strawberry, anise, lime, eucalyptus.
In the vape it is a content "burst"!
The anise of course, dominates without crushing, the strawberry and the lemon each bring in its place the freshness, the sweetness, and a sweet flavor. The freshness can also come from the very discreet eucalyptus, very little dose, as for the sweetness, the milk accompanying the strawberry is no stranger.
This blend is much more subtle and expurgated from any syrupy heaviness than its counterpart Snake Oil, it is less powerful and loaded and offers your taste buds an original taste experience.
Again, the french touch revisits the recipe brilliantly to add the right dose of good ingredients.
This dragon is a cream, no danger of nausea, it will be for lovers of anise and fruity notes, an addicting all day.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
With the characteristics of sweetness and subtlety of this fruity gourmand there is only one option to fully enjoy it, the necessary and sufficient power for the resulting assembly. Higher it is useless in my opinion, and lower let us not speak about it.
Its fluidity makes it suitable for all types of material, but it is on a flavor-like ato that it will be in its place.
Steam production is normal, it coarsely coils coils.

My mood ticket on this juice
It is difficult for me to compare the snake to the dragon to submit to you an objective assessment or a final classification, these 2 juices are both close and different, let's stop there.
Alfaliquid has skilfully managed to develop an anise juice that has been offered many times on the market, I really appreciated it, and I don't take any risk claiming that it will suit lovers of apiaceae as it is, like the name Anis indicates it in Arabic, "the good companion".
Available at 0, 6, 11, or 16 mg / ml of nicotine in 20 ml it will be enjoyed all day because its reasonable price and its addictive flavor give it the privilege, in my humble opinion.
As a fan of this particular taste I will therefore congratulate the enlightened designers of this Dragon Oil and wish them good luck for their next creations.
Share your impressions with us, friends, readers, it's useful, even though you won't find it to your liking, tell us why, I'll be happy to discuss it with you here.
See you soon.
