A prophetic figure of Celtic origin, Merlin was born from the union of a virgin and a demon. Both a magician and a prophet, he lives in the forest, observes the stars, knows magic and the future. Gifted with the power of metamorphosis, he also knows how to speak to animals.
Merlin participates in Arthur's birth and the young king's glory, playing the role of his advisor. It is he who makes the round table appear and who introduces the quest for the Grail to Arthur and his knights, before being imprisoned forever by the fairy Viviane in the forest of Brocéliande.
Potion Merlin will arrive to you in a 60 ml bottle, with 50 ml of liquid. You can therefore nicotine it in 3 mg/ml, with a booster. Its price will be 19.90 €. Its PG/VG rate will display on the scale 50/50.

Comments on the packaging
Once is not customary, and it is common to the entire range, it is a magnificent packaging that Tribal Force gives us.
Merlin sits there, preparing a potion of which only druids have the secret, on a bluish background, contrasting with a light yellow. The background is not forgotten however, there are shelves, where vials and skulls rub shoulders. This is also the Middle Ages…
The designers have once again “worked” on high-quality graphics and images. We appreciate and applaud, it’s a 5/5.

Comments on the taste of the juice
It is said that at the bottom of the Valley of No Return there was a tree, on which golden leaves grew every night. Just before daybreak, elves from Brocéliande came to collect them, to make a magical ointment intended to heal damaged trees.
It is in this maze of forest paths full of stories and legendary tales that the shadow of Merlin hovers with enchantment. Perhaps it is him at the top of this tree observing you, or running behind the groves, according to the magic of his various transmutations.
We will imagine him more displaying his talents as a druid and preparing his potion for us: the Merlin Potion of course.
At the start of the puff, it's a tangy and sweet pomegranate that delights the taste buds. It is followed by the lemonade, it is a fresh and delicious lemonade which enhances the recipe.
In the second part of puff, the violet appears, so don't expect too much of a vegetal side, it's closer to candy. It enhances the flavors with its intensity, but without overpowering the whole. The sweetness of the dragon fruit rounds out this violet, to avoid an excess of florals.
Everything is bathed in a bed of fairly intense freshness, but it suits this recipe very well.
A complex liquid, the production of which is worked with parsimony. The structure of Potion Merlin is such that all the aromas take pride of place, from lemonade to fruit, including violet, each ingredient takes on its importance. It's a little flavor bomb.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
I tested Potion Merlin from 30 to 40 W on Aspire Atlantis GT.
This liquid being quite powerful, and loaded with aromas (this is not pejorative), 35 W seemed to me to be the most appropriate. In fact, with this setting, all the flavors appear well in the mouth without it being too overwhelming, especially when fresh.
Potion Merlin being 50/50 PG/VG, will fit most materials ranging from MTL, RDL to DL.
This potion, worthy of the greatest druids, will be pleasant to vape during a relaxing afternoon, or for a refreshing and exotic break, at work or at home. Be careful, you might feel an urgent need for a diabolo, but you still need to have violet syrup.

My mood ticket on this juice
Venture into the forest of Brocéliande, follow in the footsteps of Merlin and his potion, brilliantly crafted by Tribal Force.
It's certainly not magic, but still a tour de force of this Tribal Potion range, which distills taste moments with talent.
We can only congratulate the entire team, from the flavorists to the designers, because it is all this collective work that takes us towards a result that is remarkable in every way.
From the packaging to the powerful and sweet aromas, delivered sparingly, we have nothing to complain about, but we can deliver a Top Vapelier, more than deserved!
