Comments on the packaging
Okay… Obviously, American Dream sports the colors of the flag of the United States of America. The head of the Statue of Liberty on a flag background. Not very original but it takes up the idea of the origin of cola. Solana does not do originality but efficiency. Solana's banner is found on the side of the bottle.

Comments on the taste of the juice
I have a dream… drink cola all day without gaining 10kg, without turning my stomach into a strainer… I know… I'm dreaming, but maybe Solana can do it?
American Dream smells like Cola, which is already a good thing. I do not smell lime at the olfactory level. I use Alliance Tech's Flave 22 for the taste test, a 1 Ω kanthal A0,4 coil and I start the test at 30W. The airflow is half open. My first impression is that the cola is a cola chip, like the sub-brands of the original. The taste is there, but I miss some sensations. The lime zest brings a pleasant touch of acidity at the end of the vape and enhances the flavor of the cola.
The aromatic power of American Dream is very average, the length in the mouth could have been more important.
I feel a very slight sensation of freshness which for once could have been more present.
The throat hit is weak, even when the airflow is closed a little. The exhaled vapor is normal (type T2) and odorous. I am quite disappointed by these feelings. Something is missing… maybe the bubbles?

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The aromatic power of American Dream is very average, therefore, avoid leaving the windows of your equipment too open. The power will be moderate to keep the mandatory feeling of freshness when sipping a cola.
This liquid can be used on all equipment and by all vapers.
For my part, I would vape it in the afternoon, or at the time of the aperitif. But followers can make it an allday if they feel like it.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Aperitif, Lunch / dinner, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, End of the evening with or without herbal tea
- Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.38 / 5 
My mood ticket on this juice
Fans of Cola, do you drink several cans a day? Your scale will thank you. American Dream offers the combination of cola and lime without the calories. Certainly the cola lacks bubbles… and looks a little cheap. But the lime acidifies it all and makes the liquid realistic.
The recipe is respected. A dust of freshness will give the illusion of quenching your thirst. For me it's a little too chemical but followers will appreciate.
