American E Liquid Store...VG To Die For

[BurnRubber]

I just received some of their Marlborough 24mg and Menthol 24mg. The menthol is definitely menthol and not mint, I can smell it through the bottle! The tobacco flavor smelled odd to me while filling my first KR8omizer with it, kinda like some sort of bitter soda, reminded me of Moxie soda. So here's what I think about vaping this stuff:

-tons of vapor, like VG should
-not sweet at all, unlike most of the PG liquids I've tried, my homebrew NOW VG juice is very sweet like honey, so I don't have a clue how they managed to counteract the sweetness
-kinda tastes like a mix of rich exhaust fumes and Moxie soda, only on exhale, I guess it could be described like bitter root beer or sasparilla, maybe licorice and spices, cardamom maybe? Echh.
-it leaves a slight aftertaste of the funny bitter flavor I can't figure out
-the exhale vapor smells like it too

I guess the flavor was mixed to try to approximate the gasoline engine exhaust or burnt plastic flavor and aftertaste of Marlboro cigarettes. It's not completely disgusting to me, but tastes like chemicals so I don't think I'll be using this stuff anymore. I was hoping they'd have another tobacco flavor, bot sadly no, so I settled fot the Marb flavor. now I kinda wish I just ordered a fruit flavor or something. I'm going to contact them to ask if it's supposed to taste like this, or if I got a bad batch. It really doesn't taste like any real tobacco I've ever smoked, but replicates the noxious fume component of the popular chemmy commercial cigarettes a little.

I'll probably be ok with the menthol liquid, since it's straight menthol without any "tobacco" flavorings.

I wish Vermont Vapor had some tobacco or maple flavor in stock when I ordered, they were my first choice to try out, but I had to settle. I should have waited.

Thanks for the review, I'll have to try some

I'm still waiting for them to contact me back about my complaint on the Marlborough flavored juice. I'm hoping they'll let me exchange it for another flavor, like the Kona Coffee or something. I just don't see myself adjusting to the Marb, since it kinda rubs me the wrong way. I smoked Winston and American Spirit before vaping, so I am sensitive to the additive flavors that others enjoy and crave.

Heck, if you want to give it a try, and they don't honor my customer service request, I'll sell you my 30ml minus 25 drops for $12 shipped. I'm hoping they come through for me though, because I'll be a return customer if they're helpful. Good VG e-juice is rare at this stage of the game, and I'm looking for a supplier I can count on fully.

Don from American eLiquid Store contacted me via e-mail today and confirmed that the latest batch of Marlborough flavoring was different than the ones in the past. He said that another customer also had a complaint about it tasting like licorice. He offered a full refund or another bottle of the revised Marlborough liquid when they have the situation rectified. I opted to try out the revised flavor because I haven't given up on them yet. I also suggested that they make a natural tobacco flavor or tone down the chemmy flavor in the Marl flavor enough to appeal to vapers who dislike that aromatic hydrocarbon flavor component. I'll post an update about how it goes.

Sounds like they at least care about a customer service complaint. Good sign, glad to hear they responded to you.

Yes this is truly a thoughtful and caring company. They did a bulk email to all customers about the issue with the Marb flavor actually. I got it even though I haven't ordered Marb and they're obviously commited to making good on customer satisfaction! I need to order up some more Black Cherry, really love that flavor. The regular cherry is good, but not in the same league as the Black Cherry! This company gets a definate from me!

I also have to give a two thumbs up. I was the one saying it tasted like licorace and the dealings with the customer has been A1 all the way. Unbelievable the way they care about what they are doing. Looking forward the the reformulated mix, still searching for the elusive tobacco taste of my Marlboro Red's.

[GeeYourHairSmellsTerrific]

Not sure you'll ever find that really robstc, seems like most people find the right tobacco flavor is a compromise at best. I dont' get along with them except maybe RY4. I think I could use that to be a bit more tobacco-ish though, thinking of trying some RY2 or 3.

Anyone know where to get those in VG?

[rejoice]

I got e-mail also from the company about there marlb. The marlb I got tasted like a weak chocolate to me with tobacco. I like it and have almost vape it all.
I quess I was lucky and I was going to order another bottle today until this e-mail.
I will wait to they get the new and try it.

So I'm still waiting to hear anything about my replacement Marlborough flavor juice, and I'm running out of alternatives to vape in my stash. I opened up my bottle of American eLiquid Store Menthol 24mg VG, and filled a blank cartomizer with it and I'm giving it a try as I type.

It's definitely a true menthol, without any mint at all. Nice and smooth, makes the cool sensation in my mouth and numbs my lips a tad. Not much taste other than the menthol aftertaste I've experienced with Halls cough drops. tons of vapor, not harsh on my throat, works for me. I'd like to try this with some tobacco flavor juice when I eventually get delivery, since this is straight menthol with no additional flavoring. I'm pleased that this is making my throat feel better, since it's a little raw from a Chinese green tea pre-filled carto I used yesterday.

It's funny, I actually had to remove my bottle of bunk Mboro liquid from my stash box, since the Moxy smell leaches out of the bottle and started making everything in there smell like it.

I feel bad not using the bad Mboro, since I don't like to waste anything, but I tried it again a couple days ago and it still rubs me the wrong way. The aftertaste of bitters just grosses me out too much, like something I would never want to eat or be exposed to. I'll probably save it for an emergency in case I get desperate, which I hope never happens!

I hope the new Marlborough tastes a lot different, what you describe Rejoice sounds nice since I like chocolate and um, tobacco!
