Four Demons PROPAGANDA's Evil Demon 6 mg e-liquid review

Devices: RDNA40, Smok M65

Atomizers: kflp 0.14 ohm, KF4 1 ohm

E-liquid: Evil Demon 6mg, with the following impressions

Evil Demon 6mg on the RDNA40-kflp: starting from 180°C, the vapor temperature rises quite slowly at first. The rich biscuit note is fairly strong, and in the exhaled aroma you can detect a faint almond note. The bitter note is relatively light, but not enough to reveal the main profile of the e-liquid. Starting at 210°C, because the power is 12W, the temperature rises more evenly, and the biscuit flavor is quickly overtaken by a cigar note. (This cigar note is not like the taste in your mouth after lighting a cigar, but more like the smell of an unlit cigar through the nose.) I couldn’t really pick up much almond, because the overall heavy bitterness covered almost everything. Taking deep draws felt quite uncomfortable, perhaps because I’m not very used to cigar flavors. Starting at 240°C, with the higher temperature, it becomes almost entirely a bitter cigar flavor, with only a slight trace of the biscuit’s soft grainy aroma.

Evil Demon 6mg on the M65-KF4: starting from 8W, the vapor temperature rises slowly, and in the mouth I mainly get just a light biscuit note. The exhaled aroma is also not something I personally enjoy—it feels like a very heavy tobacco flavor, as if the main profile of the e-liquid is simply presented in a lighter way. Starting at 12W, after about 2 seconds of direct heating, the vapor begins to warm up, and a strong cigar flavor mixed with some grainy aroma comes through as the main note. The heavy bitterness and faint grain aroma seem to be the core profile. As for the other notes, I didn’t dare take too many deep draws, so what I sensed most was that rich, heavy American-style tobacco flavor. Starting at 15W (I also briefly tried 20W here, which only made the bitterness a bit lighter), one deep draw immediately gave me the feeling of smoking an old-fashioned cigarette. As the temperature rises, the whole mouth fills with a dense, bitter tobacco flavor, and I personally can barely detect anything else.

Now let’s talk about the so-called throat hit. Since it’s 6mg, taking large direct lung hits requires a few draws to get used to it. After that, it really comes down to whether the vaper can accept that cigar-like or American tobacco bitterness. Because the overall flavor is so intense, if you don’t like this profile, a lung hit will probably make you miserable. Overall, I can’t really do this e-liquid justice, perhaps because I simply can’t handle this kind of American tobacco flavor. I’d recommend this e-liquid to people who enjoy bold, heavy American tobacco notes, because no matter what device I used, the main flavor always came through as a bitter tobacco taste. (Later, I mixed it at a 4:6 ratio with nicoticket’s Caramel Custard and Evil Demon, and the result was actually quite good. The rich caramel sweetness covered much of the bitterness, making Evil Demon’s bitterness feel more like drinking coffee—as my friend put it: “If life weren’t bitter, how would you know coffee is sweet?”)
