Comments on the packaging
We come back today to discover a new opus in the Tribal Potion range by Tribal Force: The Gandalf potion.
It is clear that given the excellence of its two predecessors, Potion Einstein and Merlin, we are only becoming more demanding of voluptuous qualities.
For the Gandalf Potion, Tribal Force offers us a combo of mango, pineapple, peach, passion fruit and red fruits. Ok, a list of fruits that smell good in summer, we ask to see, or rather to vape.
This time, Gandalf wants to drag us onto the battlefield, just that, but who are you Gandalf?
Gandalf is a fictional character belonging to the legendary universe of the British writer JRR Tolkien, appearing in The Hobbit, in The Lord of the Rings, in Unfinished Tales and Legends, then in The Silmarillion.
Gandalf's greatest power lies in his great wisdom. He is known throughout Middle-earth and beyond as the wisest being in the land. His in-depth knowledge of history, culture and traditions is also one of his strong points.
Potion Gandalf will arrive in a 60 ml bottle, with 50 ml of liquid. You can therefore nicotine it in 3 mg/ml with a booster. Its PG/VG rate will be 50/50 and its price will be close to €20.00, i.e. 19.90 €.

Comments on the packaging
We are in the same quality aesthetic as for its two friends. Gandalf, in his wisdom, does not deviate from the rule of this range.
A magnificent graphic where our hero appears in close-up, preparing his mixture, on bright yellow and golden colors and a dark gray image background, representing the interior of a castle, straight from the imagination of its creator .
Let us recall here the quality of the design and “XXL” know-how.
To enhance the work, the Tribal Force team will send you Potion Gandalf in a cardboard box with the same image as its bottle. This will not add anything to the result for this chapter, because we are already on a 5/5.

Comments on the taste of the juice
To begin this chapter, it should be noted that Potion Gandalf is a complex fruity but without expense!
And it bodes well for Tribal Force to have included this liquid without ice cubes in its range. On the one hand for fans of the genre but also to broaden the horizons of “future aficionados” (olé).
So, in the aroma, it already smells of mango, this story, let's move on to the tasting:
In the first part of puff, it is the mango that will be felt, it will be the driving force of this liquid. It's almost a green mango, sweet, a little acidic. Be careful, it remains extremely greedy and above all very realistic.
In the second part of puff, we will find two aromas: a tasty barely ripe peach, coated in the sweetness of pineapple, more in the background, but devilishly effective.
At the end of the puff, the passion fruit will round out the recipe, leaving a sweet and fruity scent in the mouth.
We perceive the red fruits in small touches, they add tanginess to the whole, to finalize a seriously good creation!
I might as well tell you that this Gandalf Potion made me “chainvaper” without regret. The fruit flavors reflect each other, powerful and realistic aromas give this liquid a structure that is certainly complex, but extremely well done. Everything is still very tasty, but “damn” it’s good!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Faced with a very delicious fruitiness, I wanted to push Potion Gandalf to a strength that I considered to be the in-between that suited it best. To do this, I tested it at 40 W on Aspire Atlantis GT.
And the result was convincing, the fruit aromas, notably mango and peach, were increased tenfold, giving pride of place to other flavors.
Due to its 50/50 PG/VG rate, you can use Potion Gandalf on most equipment ranging from MTL, RDL to DL.
This liquid will be appreciated throughout the day, on a walk, at work or with a scoop of ice cream, but it can also accompany you in the evening, depending on your taste.

My mood ticket on this juice
Potion Gandalf reigns supreme over Middle-earth and has been able to thwart the most evil tricks.
By providing us with a very delicious fruity recipe, Tribal Force brings another stone to the building of its Tribal Potion range.
The power and realism of its aromas make this Gandalf version of the potion one of the “must haves” of the genre.
Returning to the genesis of the fruit in its simplest form does not seem to be an obstacle for the Cristolienne team and that suits us well.
Saruman can run wildly behind the ring, we have our precious one. A Top Vapelier is required.
