Comments on the packaging
The packaging of the Dark Story range is simple and efficient. In the thick cardboard box are the bottle, the nicotine booster and the instructions for use. These three elements are harmonized around a night photo of a city and the name of the manufacturer.
Depending on the flavor of the liquid, a color is highlighted. The golden color of caramel was chosen for Vanilla Custard. Anyway, this packaging sticks very well to the name of the range.

Comments on the taste of the juice
So here we are. Let's open the Vanilla Custard volume from the Dark Story saga and see what it tells us.
With the stopper off the vial, the vanilla scent is powerful. The smell is sweet, quite strong but pleasant. In terms of taste, this vanilla mixes with the cream which gives consistency. Vanilla is natural, well transcribed. I put a few drops on the cotton and I adjust the power so as to obtain a lukewarm vape, 30W will be enough. The airflow is half open.
On inspiration, obviously vanilla is the first to arrive. The flavor is frank, sweet. The vanilla is ripe and natural. I imagine the sweaty pod of sugar. The creamy flavor does not feel directly, it gives consistency to the inspired puff. The caramel is felt in the background and brings the natural sweetness. At the end of the vape, the green flavors of the almond appear, leaving a little harsh taste. The almond is useful in this recipe I find because it allows not to make this liquid a moment of too sweet and sickening vape. It puts the taste buds back on hold for a new puff.
The recipe is well constructed. The vapor is dense and slightly fragrant. The hit felt is light.
Overall, Vanilla Custard is a well-made liquid, pleasant and sweet in flavor without being cloying.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Vanilla Custard is an allday par excellence. The flavor of this liquid is mild and may be suitable for beginners as well as experienced vapers. With a PG / VG ratio of 50/50, this liquid is not too thick and will be accepted by all equipment.
Once the booster is delivered with your liquid added to your bottle, I recommend that you let the mixture stand for a few days with the cap open, before tasting. The flavors will only be better.
Vanilla Custard can be used with a warm or hot vape setup. You can adjust your equipment according to your taste.
