I can't get a straight answer from Alhusion, does anyone know if Vanilla Wildwood is made from natural tobacco or china flavor?
My biggest order to date ...
60ml Caramel Pear Black Tea
60ml Chocolate Cream

60ml order of these two looks promising to me. Could you give me a mini-review of these two from your experience? I'm just sitting around vaping my Raspberry Cream which is yummy after its month long steep.
The Caramel Pear Black Tea is my all time favorite. It tastes just like its name. When fresh I find the pear and caramel upfront and not much black tea. It needs to steep. For me, it was good at 3 weeks and great after 4 weeks when the pear is tasted upfront with the caramel and then an wonderful brisk black tea on the exhale. This juice is lovely in my 510 atty and sweeter in my Russian 91%.
The Chocolate Cream is one that I have had for the past 5 months and in my 510 atty is is good but not remarkable. It tastes like a milk chocolate mousse. It is not a dark chocolate or cocoa taste for me. When I put it in my Russian 91% it sings. It is wonderful and any doubt I had on whether this was a reorder vanished.
The Just Criminal is a mix of the Chocolate Cream and Smooth Criminal in my opinion. It is balanced and makes a more weighty dessert vape for me. I find I like a tobacco background on most of my vapes and this fits the bill. I found that Just Criminal did not need a long steep for me to enjoy it. We will see what it is like down the road.
The Smooth Criminal is a complex tobacco with a bit of spice and some bakery elements to it. I do not like it fresh. I taste a spice that my tastebuds think is cinnamon when fresh though Ahlusion told me that there is no cinnamon in it. I like it steeped at about 6 weeks and it gets better from there. The spicy note recedes for me and the flavors just dance. I would call it a mild to mid tobacco with some sweet and spice going on. Hard to describe and I think that is why I like it so much. There is no bite or harshness to it for me.
Thank you Shari! I had amoment after I first posted my request to you when I realized you had already gave me a mini-review of the Chocolate Cream singing in your R91. Went back and corrected my original post but you were too fast for me.
Thanks again for all your great reviews! I think my next order is going to have to include a 30ml bottle of the Chocolate Cream & Caramel Pear Black Tea

I'm really looking forward to trying Just Criminal, which I have on order. It's interesting that some have described the chocolate as dark, while some, like ShariR, say it's a milk chocolate. Of course, everyone tastes things differently, so it's not surprising, just a bit intriguing. I actually like plain SC XPress FOOB (perhaps 2 weeks steeped), so I'll probably like JC early, as well.
To me it tastes exactly like Chocolate Cream, which isn't dark at all.
Encouraging article in the NY Times.

While not definitive, it appears to indicate that people are twice as likely to succeed at quitting with e-cigs than with other methods.

Quote from the article “This will not settle the e-cigarette issue by any means,” said Thomas J. Glynn, a researcher at the American Cancer Society, who was not part of the study, “but it is further evidence that, in a real-world context, e-cigarettes can be a useful, although not revolutionary, tool in helping some smokers to stop.”
Not a revolutionary tool??? Let's see what he says 5 or so years from now -- assuming the government doesn't get in the middle and really screw things up!

Meanwhile, the Today Show had a bit this morning talking about how "kid-friendly brands" (Thin Mint, Cinnamon Toast Crunch) are up in arms about e-cigarette vendors using their brand names to "market to kids." One step forward, two steps back.
Of course not! And I have never known anyone over the age of 18 to enjoy girl scout cookies!I would never eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch because I am an adult. I swear I wouldn't eat that stuff. Please believe me.![]()
I couldn't agree more. Teh Stoopid burns, on both sides of this particular argument. On one hand, obviously the vendor is going for a very specific flavor, which s/he clearly enjoys, and feels enough other people will also enjoy. On the other hand, how hard is it to come up with a clever play on words that gets the message across without just stealing the trademark? Come on, people. Another example of how Ahl is ahead of the game (W&A Sasparilla anyone?)In all seriousness though, while they don't have any real proof that this is a way to "market to kids," I think eliquid vendors have gotten away with murder when it comes to appropriating others' brands -- whether it's "kid-friendly brands" or just any flavor brand in general. I don't particularly care one way or another, but I think for a business to enter into a field under scrutiny since its inception, it makes for an insanely goofy practice.
[From the mind of some random elqiuid maker: "Hey, I know we are being watched an all, but how about some Coca-Cola juice? That'd be awesome! Surely we can fly under the radar by selling that way -- Coca-Cola ain't that big, is it?]
