Comments on the packaging

Black Raft: the black raft !!! Another delirium of the Dark Story range from Alfaliquid. As we have already seen, the venerable house signs with this range a noticeable foray into the Premium category with fine quality e-liquids, all “recipe” by line. I can't wait to see if this juice presented for a daring gourmand will keep all its promises as the other offspring of the family did before it. 

Always this concern to do well with a very nice packaging, mixing black glass and personalized label for each juice. Consumption information is all displayed and contributes to a neat and clear presentation that makes the product easy to identify but also devilishly attractive.

And yo oh oh a bottle of rum !!!! Brothers of the Coast, one can define oneself as a pirate, have neither faith nor law and yet have all the characteristics of a good boy. Just look with respect at the work Alfaliquid does in the security area. It's very simple, everything is there, including a good taste DLUO written on the bottom of the bottle.

Comments on the packaging

The fairing presents perfectly well with a nice correlation between the black glass and a label in bluish tones, showing a vessel sailing on the sea on a superb full moon night. It's beautiful and it evokes a quiet journey, quite in the gustatory spirit that the juice will offer us in the following chapter. 

Hackers these days seem to be educated. And refinement! We are closer to the plume of Captain Kidd than to the barbarism of Ned Low.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Very good juice with a nice aromatic power that develops flavors known and yet renewed with happiness.

The taste is very compact and presents a great homogeneity. A dash of scented vanilla underlined by a swig of amber rum opens the boarding like a barrage of guns. It gently gives way to a fairly persistent aroma of caramel which happily mingles with reminiscences of the aforementioned rum. Everything is done very smoothly and at no time, despite the aromas present, is any aggressiveness felt.

We can really feel the alcohol in this e-liquid which develops a nice length in the mouth where aromas of almond / orgeat sometimes seem to float above the surface like the ghostly silhouette of the Flying Dutchman.

It's delicious, pleasant to vape and never disgusting. A great success, undeniably, which will please fans of vanilla and alcoholic pastries without any problem. I had a lot of fun doing this review and the Black Raft accompanied me everywhere for two days. Until the dry dock ...

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

This juice seems made to be vaporized in a good reconstructable flavor, a dripper of the same water or a good precise clearo. Not being made for power vaping, in view of its PG / VG ratio, it can easily be entrusted to specialized equipment on aromas, in a resistance range between 1 and 1,5Ω. Beyond 25W, it will take on the spicy aspect of rum and below 15W, it will be too sweetish, which allows me to recommend it to you on a scale between 15 and 20W, with a warm to lukewarm temperature. hot.

My mood ticket on this juice

A real good moment of alcoholic gluttony where vanilla softens manners. It feels like vaping an arranged and very sweet rum. It is really successful and, once again, put into recipe with talent. The Black Raft can even be considered as an all-day because it is never short of arguments or in excess. 

Alfaliquid signs here another beautiful page of taste in a genre that is ultimately quite under-exploited in the current market, which makes the Black Raft even more precious. A raft like that, it's very simple, I remain dumbfounded.

Okay, let's finish it and hang it on the highest yard, it will protect us from the fire of Saint-Elmo! Long John Silver is a few miles behind us and now is not the time to be moved!
