Comments on the packaging

“E-liquids straight out of the jungle”, such is the slogan of the French brand Mandrill based in the Paris region which offers us four juices with fruity flavors.

The Dodo liquid from this selection is packaged in a transparent flexible plastic vial offering 50 ml of liquid. The maximum capacity that the bottle can accommodate is 70 ml which will be obtained after the possible addition of one or two nicotine boosters according to your needs. The nicotine level will therefore display a value of 3 or 6 mg / ml depending on the option chosen, the tip of the container is unscrewed to facilitate the operation. You can also add 10 or 20 ml of neutral base if you want to stay at 0 nicotine.

The base of the recipe displays a balanced PG/VG ratio of 50/50 and the nominal nicotine level is obviously zero given the quantity of product offered in the bottle.

The Dodo juice is available at a price of €21,90 and is therefore positioned among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the packaging

The design of the label is really well done and finished, the whole is perfectly in line with the name of the brand thanks in particular to the illustrations of the primates in the center of the labels.

Indeed, each label has in its center a cartoonish representation of the mandrill, a great ape related to the baboon, which has an additional shiny finish, just like the names of the brand and the liquid elsewhere.

It's colorful, friendly and fun. This does not prevent excellent readability of the informative mentions.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Dodo liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of apple, pear and grape.

The fruity fragrances of the composition explode as soon as the bottle is opened. We immediately spot the grapes, very faithful. The juicy notes of the recipe are already palpable.

The Dodo juice has a good aromatic power, the fruity mixture is therefore clear in the mouth. The flavors of the apple stand out very slightly from the set thanks to their tangy notes.

The aromatic flavors of pear and grape are not to be outdone. They contribute to the balance of the cocktail of the composition and also bring sweet and sweet aspects to the recipe. The sugar level is not exaggerated and seems to come naturally from the fruit flavors.

The whole has a faithful taste rendering. Here, there is no particular freshness, the mix remains homogeneous and fruity. The perfect balance of sweet notes and juicy touches ensure that the liquid never gets sickening over long sessions.
