The dark-berry blend
Forest-fruit blends are common in juices and cordials across Europe — blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, sometimes mulberry — and they share a deep, slightly tannic, slightly tart character that no single berry quite delivers on its own. Black Dragon Ice borrows that approach.
The pull opens dark and rich; a small acidic edge keeps the sweetness in check; the exhale is cleanly chilled. The name is louder than the flavour — this isn’t an aggressive vape, it’s a well-balanced one.
What happens in the draw?
- Inhale: deep berry sweetness — blackcurrant-led, with blueberry support
- Mid-pull: a small acidic lift develops, keeping it from going jammy

Frequent questions
Is it a sweet flavour or a dry one?
Medium sweetness. It avoids the candy-berry direction and stays closer to a real fruit cordial.
How does this compare to Red Wine Ice?
Red Wine Ice is more tannic and has the grape-skin character. Black Dragon Ice is more berry-led and slightly more straightforward.
Where the name goes, where the flavour goes?
‘Black dragon’ is the literal translation of wulong (oolong) — the Chinese name for the partially-oxidised tea family. The name sounds heavy, tea-adjacent, possibly smoky. The flavour ignores all of that. This is a dark-berry composite: blackberry as the structural fruit, a quieter blueberry rounding the middle, a small backbone of black grape supplying sweetness without going jammy. The dark fruits work together because they share related flavour compounds (anthocyanin chemistry produces similar back-palate notes across the berry family). The Ice element keeps the finish dry. Closer to a chilled mixed-berry coulis than to a single-fruit vape.
