DARKSIDE has been reworking some of its classic flavors, and with the new XPERIENCE drop, we received three flavors in both their old and new versions. They were hidden under a second layer in the box — we didn’t even notice at first! So, we decided to do our review in a comparison format. Each flavor was packed in identical bowls, preheated for the same time, and tested under identical…

DARKSIDE перерабатывает уже не первый свой аромат. Вместе с новым дропом XPERIENCE мы получили 3 вкуса в старой и новой вариации. Они были спрятаны под вторым дном, мы даже сначала не поняли этого. Поэтому решили провести наше обзор\мнение через сравнение. Каждый аромат прогревали одинаковое время, забивали в одинаковые чаши и делали всё для идентичных условий. А теперь перейдём к сравнению:FruittallityVOL. 1 — Ощущается кислее, по ощущениям он ближе к лесным…

A new flavor from DARKSIDE in the CORE line.Yagoda malina – aroma of sweet raspberries with a slight sour note.According to the manufacturer, this is not the next version of Generis raspberry. Rather, raspberries are sweeter, even jam-like.

The Oblako showed a Solo bowl in new form factors Phunnel/Classic in new black color. The new bowl from KONG – DUET is a universal bowl from KONG, created specifically for the HoReCa segment DARKSIDE has released packs with special “Made in Nizhny” stickers. So the guys decided to remind the locals that it was here that tobacco appeared and has been produced for 10 years.

Mary Jane 2.0 — a remake of the legendary DARKSIDE flavor, released in limited quantities. In taste, it reminded us of a mix of wormwood, pine, thyme, and a hint of rhubarb. That pleasant, dry throat burn is still there — the signature of the original aroma hasn’t disappeared. You could call it an herbal mix before the remake, and you still can now.We recommend giving it a try —…

Mary Jane 2.0 — ремейк легендарного аромата от DARKSIDE, в лимитированном количестве. По вкусу нам это напомнило сочетание полыни, сосны, чабреца и легкого ревеня. Приятная обжигающая сухость на горле есть. Эта фишка аромата не пропала. Вкус как можно было назвать миксом трав до переделки, так можно и сейчас.Рекомендуем попробовать, это интересно.

A new citrus has appeared in the DARKSIDE CORE collectionDARKSIDE BLOODY ORANGE – juicy sweet and sour taste of red Sicilian orange pulp.And an important point right away: this is not a replacement for Barvy orange, but a separate flavor. Available in packs of 30, 100, 200g

Darkside has re-released their very old flavorMARY JANE 2.0 – “the unmistakable herbaceous flavor.” Blogger Vlad Okolokalyana presents a collaboration with accessories manufacturer NOMADThe guys presented 2 variations of the Wind covers:”Taiga” – developed with NOMAD and Vlad’s subscriber, Enki. There are 60 pieces in total, numbered.”Night Taiga” – minimalistic, pure black, without numbering.

Darkside has released a classic red apple flavor. We smoked it several times, and here’s what we think:Retro Apple — It really does have the texture of a red apple: a note of peel, a dry sweetness. But at its core, it’s just a standard apple flavor you can find anywhere on the market — the extra notes mentioned above didn’t quite make it a true “red apple” profile. It’s…

Darkside выпустил классический аромат красного яблока. Мы его прокурили несколько раз и вот наши мысли:Retro Apple — Это действительно красного яблоко по своей текстуре: есть нота кожуры, сухая сладость. Но в основе своей это аромат любого яблока на рынке, добавления описанные выше не сделали из него аромата именно красного яблока. Это обычное яблоко с добавлением ноток красного. Также немного не понравился привкус сушеных яблочных долек. Это неплохо, но слабовато.
