Uh oh! I get it. I think cherry does the same to me :( But I just use the cherry juices sparingly now.

Random question: I wonder why in the descriptions for most of their juices that an even VG/PG ratio is recommended, but the Xpress liquids come in 40vg/60pg. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Probably slightly quicker on the steep than 50/50, and not much different in consistency. I bought a bottle of XPress Boba Tea and loved it. When I ordered big bottle I asked in the notes to "mix it just like the XPress juice," and it came back at 40/60. Who knew?

Look at you on the dripping train. So happy for you. :) I really do enjoy dripping and Ahlusion's juices taste the way they are meant to using them.

Oh, and my Caramel Wild Wood (a mere newborn at 2 weeks, LOL), is EVERYTHING today. :p I'm pretty sure I vaped myself into a caramel coma during my commute. The inaugural bottle I had, if you all recalled, was a sweet, sticky, rich, not-quite-mess, for me. This bottle here?? Amazing!

Choo Choo!!
Yeahp. Up until this point I used a regular bridgeless dripping atomizer occasionally, at home, for tasting mainly. I had toyed with the idea of getting the Aurora a while back but never pulled the trigger. I guess I finally had enough of the hassle of the mini clearos. The Aurora is solid all around, on the go, at home, when and wherever. I'm still getting the hang of it, but no leaks, no muss, no fuss, and flavor out the wazoo (with the help of the 357). Thanks peraspera for the kick in the pants!

So -- was your "inaugural" bottle of CWW bad, do you think? Or a different ratio?

Man, I'll bet that CWW is fantastic on the HH ! My mouth is watering thinking about it.

Peraspera is the Aurora and HH pied piper!

I'm glad you are enjoying your new toy. :D Lovely when things work the way they are supposed to. I think leaky atomizers is like my biggest pet peeve in vaping.

Caramel Wild Wood: Your Honor.......I plead the fifth. :blush:

Ok, the first bottle....I actually ordered 70vg/30pg instead of my intended 30vg/70pg. It says in plain sight on the site that tobaccos are not recommended at higher VG ratios, as they "tend to come out sweeter" :facepalm: :facepalm: Duh, of course I would find it too sweet and rich! The juice wasn't bad -- just my attention to detail. :laugh: This bottle is the good ole' 50vg/50pg ratio and I'm loving it. I may just vape it two days in a row!

Thanks, y c y and Lady E for your thoughts. I never thought to request any juices with that ratio; I like- to love almost all A+ juices in 50vg/50pg and the XPress liquids were just as good. Hmm, maybe I'll try this next order.

Yeah, my note was actually intended just to get the flavor mix of the XPress. I did order at 50/50, and they changed it to match the XP ratio.

By the way, it is perfect this way. I was agnostic on Boba Tea till I got that bottle on sale (expired), and turned into a fan. Same story with Kona Kick. I bought one of the expired XPress bottles and have been addicted ever since.

Still loving Bananas Fosters today. Next up to try, and the last of my untried flavors, is Just Criminal. I am a little skeptical about it simply because of the strength, and subtlety, of Smooth Criminal as a flavor. Seems it would be easy to mess it up, or overwhelm it. I know a lot of you like it, but as a Criminal, or just a nice vape? Anyway, gonna load it up in the Squape, the atty that always has SC, tonight.

Just Criminal is Chocolate Cream with Smooth C. It isn't anywhere near the ballpark SC and Peachy C play in. But it's not offensive, just meh.

To me of course, tastes vary, blah blah, etc., etc.

It's definitely not messed up, LOL. The chocolate is most prominent, similar to the peach in Peachy Criminal, in the beginning. Even still, those "Smooth Criminal-draws" (you know, the draws that give you that signature Smooth Criminal flavor) were very good. I just didn't want to muck through straight chocolate vapes to get to that flavor I know and love. So I let it sit and now the chocolate is co-habitating with the Smooth Criminal nicely.

Planning my anniversary purchase, so far the only juice leaping out at me is Sweet Surrender. I want the order to be all new stuff, and I don't need any refills atm. So hmmm..

Edit 1: Caribbean Blend - a new aro would be great, and I'm now sold on A+ rum (not sure if it's the same one as Bananas Foster, but at least I know they know how to do rum well, without overdoing)

Edit 2: Coconut Dream or Coconut Macaroon - I love A+ coconut, but would like to try it as a primary.

Edit 3: Mimosa Cocktail - Orange - to me Mimosa is orange, so I'd try that one first.

I think that's enough :)

I know! I do not really expect much from my taste buds because I never really taste all that I hear others talk about but in the case of BF I do taste that caramelized sugar.
Vaping Bananas Foster since last night. This is seriously delicious - possibly my favorite dessert vape. Nice banana with caramelized sugar and a hint of rum. Not at all boozy. Really nice!

Coconut Macaroon is "not available" not sure why but I am waiting on it because it does sound so good

Yeah, I actually didn't care for the JC as much as the OG SC. (see what I did there?).

It's not a BAD vape... it delivers all it promises- milky, creamy chocolate with a bacco that's easily identifable as a close criminal relative, BUT...

I thought it lacked the richness, robustness, fullness... You know that beef fatty, savory, je ne cest qois.. that makes SC... well, SC? JC doesn't have THAT stuff.

Seems like it should taste overdone, but it doesn't really. Overall I think the flavor impact is even a little lighter than SC. It's still a good vape, but I prefer the original.

I have Apple TT too. I think 3 weeks is a great time for steeping all the Tartins, Banana's F and Banana CP, Pineapple Upside Cake and the Vanilla Cakes. I get a bit of taste from them early on but nothing like I get at 21 days

All this talk about Bananas Foster and Tarte Tatins makes me long for those 2 bottles steeping. Both already show such great promise from my initial drip taste, but both need time to develop and blend. I also got the real, fresh banana out of the Bananas Foster. My first A+ banana, and I have Tarte Tatin Apple, my first apple, steeping.

Very well said, indeed. I just tried it for the first time (I'm not sure if you were referring to it fresh or steeped), just a few days old. First, I should say that my nose was blowing in the wind when it told me it was similar to the orange in Orange Nocturne. This is not a dark chocolate, but a creamy milk chocolate, as you and others have said. It's a really nice chocolate to be sure, and the only other A+ chocolate I have tried besides ON. At this stage I'm getting only hints of fresh SC, vague hints, really. May even just be the suggestion of it that has me detecting it. So, no doubt what BnJ said about the criminal needing to come forward to testify, but the chocolate needs a bit of the fifth amendment (*groan* *koff*) to balance it all out. As it is, it's a very pleasant creamy chocolate vape. I might reorder it on that merit alone, even if it never improved, but I am hoping for the criminal to come out of hiding in a few weeks.

Edit: think I overdid a bit :p

btw, I had to redo the wick in the Squape to prepare it for Just Criminal, and if ever there was an atty that can benefit from Koh Gen Do cotton, it's the Squape. It needs a very consistently thin wick or it clogs the juice flow and causes overheating. I was able to easily make a perfect one, and I haven't had the Squape hitting this well for a while.
