Freeze Ice Dragon | which bottle and which kit

Freeze Dragon, Ice Dragon Freeze, Dragon Freeze… The same bottle goes by a different name from one shop to the next, and many listings show it as Freeze Ice Dragon. Behind those variations sits a single e-liquid, but two bottle sizes that are aimed at different kit. The choice between them turns less on flavour than on the draw and on the mouthpiece in use, which makes it a comfort question as much as a taste one.

Freeze Ice Dragon, what is really in the bottle

Freeze Ice Dragon is an e-liquid from the French maker Liquideo, part of its Freeze range of cooling recipes. The maker’s own listing simply calls it Freeze Dragon and describes it as a pairing of dragon fruit with an icy mint.

The base is balanced, at 50 per cent propylene glycol (PG) and 50 per cent vegetable glycerine (VG). It comes in two sizes, a ready-to-vape 10 ml bottle and a 50 ml nicotine-free shortfill. The maker and several retailers state that it is made in France.

Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, brings the exotic note. The Freeze range name points to the other half of the recipe, the cooling effect.

The flavour profile of Freeze Ice Dragon

The maker’s listing files the liquid under fresh and fruity flavours, and speaks of the tropical softness of the fruit set against the strength of a polar mint. Retailers repeat that double register, an exotic fruit first and a marked coolness second.

One retailer states that the icy effect comes from koolada, a cooling agent. The maker’s listing does not give an ingredient list, so that detail rests with a single shop.

This is not a dessert-style liquid. Published descriptions place it among fresh fruit recipes, a long way from bakery flavours or tobacco classics.

10 ml or 50 ml, two bottles for two draws

Both sizes share the recipe and the ratio, but the maker does not intend them for the same kit. Shop listings say little about it, even though this choice has a direct effect on comfort.

The 10 ml bottle

The maker’s listing describes the 10 ml version as ideal for pods and for tight-draw mouth-to-lung (MTL) kits. It is offered at 0, 3, 6 and 10 mg/ml of nicotine, all within the UK cap of 20 mg/ml for nicotine e-liquid sold in 10 ml bottles.

With an MTL draw, vapour is held in the mouth first, which calls for a mouthpiece with a narrow channel. The link between that channel, known as the bore, and the style of draw is covered in our guide to MTL vs DTL and the drip tip bore.

The 50 ml shortfill

The maker recommends the larger size for a sub-ohm tank, meaning a coil below 1 ohm and a looser, airier draw. It is sold without nicotine, in a 70 ml bottle filled to 50 ml.

The spare space takes up to two 10 ml nicotine shots. With shots at 20 mg/ml, one shot gives roughly 3.3 mg/ml across 60 ml and two shots roughly 5.7 mg/ml across 70 ml, figures that also appear on retailer listings.

Which drip tip suits an icy e-liquid

The bottle size already steers the choice of mouthpiece. A tight-draw pod keeps its original mouthpiece, designed for it, while a sub-ohm tank often accepts a drip tip with a wider bore.

On a tank with a swappable drip tip, the connection matters as much as the bore. A 510 tip fits many MTL tanks, while the wider 810 turns up on tanks built for direct lung vaping, as our guide to 510 and 810 drip tip sizes explains.

A very cool e-liquid does not need a special mouthpiece. Comfort comes first from a coherent match between coil, draw and bore, whatever the recipe.

What the label and the cap tell you

The maker’s listing reproduces the hazard statements that come with nicotine on its bottles. For a strength between 2.5 and 16.6 mg/ml, the label carries H302, harmful if swallowed. Above 16.6 mg/ml, H301, toxic if swallowed, and H332, harmful if inhaled, are added.

The three nicotine strengths of the 10 ml bottle, 3, 6 and 10 mg/ml, all fall into the first band. The 50 ml shortfill, sold without nicotine, only enters the picture once a shot has been added, and from then on the vaper has to keep the resulting strength in mind.

As for the bottle itself, two retailers describe a 70 ml container with a safety cap, and one of them a fine nozzle that makes filling a tank easier. A nicotine bottle is best stored closed and away from heat, and handled with the tank removed so that no liquid runs onto the mouthpiece.

Freeze Ice Dragon, the names that cause confusion

A search for this liquid turns up at least four names. The maker writes Freeze Dragon, some shops add Ice, and others reverse the order into Ice Dragon Freeze or Dragon Freeze.

All of them refer to the same Freeze range e-liquid, and three details confirm it, the Liquideo brand, the 50/50 ratio and the bottle size. A bottle that misses any of the three is a different recipe, even if its name also mentions dragon fruit and ice.

The listings found at the time of writing came from French sellers, and no British listing turned up for this exact liquid. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is sold in bottles of 10 ml at most, which is why the larger size only exists as a nicotine-free shortfill.

FAQ

A few questions come up about this liquid, its sizes and the kit that suits it.

Are Freeze Dragon and Freeze Ice Dragon the same liquid?

Yes. The maker calls it Freeze Dragon, and shops sometimes add Ice or swap the words around. The brand, the 50/50 ratio and the bottle size are enough to identify it.

Does the 50 ml shortfill contain nicotine?

No. The 50 ml bottle is sold nicotine-free, with room for one or two 10 ml nicotine shots. The nicotine version comes in the 10 ml bottle.

Is a 50/50 ratio suitable for a pod?

Yes, the maker’s listing pitches the 10 ml version at pods and MTL kits. A balanced ratio stays thin enough to soak the cotton of a small coil.

Should the liquid rest after adding a nicotine shot?

One retailer suggests waiting at least 48 hours after adding a shot to a fruit liquid, so the mix can even out. Shaking the bottle well before first use is the minimum.

Does an icy e-liquid clog a drip tip?

The listings consulted say nothing of the sort. A mouthpiece mostly needs cleaning when you change recipe, so the previous flavour does not blend into the next one, using the method in our guide on how to clean a drip tip.

Freeze Ice Dragon, pick the bottle size first

Behind its four names, the liquid stays the same, dragon fruit with an icy mint on a 50/50 base, made in France. The real choice is the size, a 10 ml nicotine bottle for a pod and a tight draw, or a 50 ml nicotine-free shortfill for a sub-ohm tank.

Once the size is settled, the mouthpiece follows the same logic as for any other e-liquid. Matching coil, draw and bore remains the key to comfort, with a Freeze Ice Dragon as with any other cooling recipe.
