Comments on the packaging
Mandrill is a French brand of e-liquids whose main theme revolves around the jungle and which offers us juices with fruity and fresh flavors.
The Drill, from this collection, is offered in a transparent flexible plastic bottle with a capacity of 50 ml of liquid. The bottle can accommodate a maximum of 70 ml of liquid after the possible addition of nicotine booster(s) or neutral base. We will thus obtain either 60 ml with a nicotine level of 3mg/ml, or 70 ml with this time- ci a rate of 6 mg / ml.
We can of course also add neutral base to have up to 70 ml in 0 mg/ml, the liquid is boosted in aroma. It is advisable not to exceed 70 ml so as not to distort the taste. The vial has an unscrewable tip to facilitate the addition of booster.
The base of the recipe is homogeneous and therefore displays a ratio of PG / VG of 50/50, the nominal rate of nicotine is obviously zero.
The Drill liquid is displayed at a price of €21,90 (it is also available at €18,90 on certain vape sites), so it ranks among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Drill Liquid is a fruity juice with flavors of lemon, blue raspberry, dragon fruit and blackberry.
On the smell, the fruity aspect of the recipe is beyond doubt. We feel the lemony flavors and those of the dragon fruit. The smell is pleasant and light.
At the taste level, the Drill liquid has a good aromatic power. The full flavors of lemon and blue raspberry with the more delicate and enveloping one, specific to dragon fruit, are very present in the mouth. They offer us a faithful rendering of taste and thus offer a rather tangy and energetic juice.
The blackberry remains more in the background but contributes to the sweet and juicy notes of the recipe.
The set is quite soft and light, the Drill liquid is never boring.

My mood ticket on this juice
Drill Liquid is a juice that perfectly combines the tart flavors of lemon and blue raspberry with the sweeter ones of dragon fruit and blackberry.
The perfect taste opposition is really well worked and offers a generous, spicy and sweet result at the same time.
The taste rendering of the different flavors is realistic. The dragon fruit, despite its particular taste, is really well transcribed and helps to soften the whole, the much more subdued blackberry brings sweeter and juicier notes to the recipe.
The Drill liquid displays a rating of 4,59 within the Vapelier and therefore obtains its “Top Juice”.
