But.. they probably had their reasons for waiting. What those reasons are though, is anybody's guess lol.

My guess would be that the day that Wlad widely distributes a new juice before he has tweaked it to his satisfaction is the day that people in hades will be partying at Winter Ice Festival.

Nice timing on the LVC. Our boy was born a few hours ago so I'm treating myself to some!

Big congrats on the arrival of mini GD! Hope you and your family are enjoying your new bundle of joy. There is absolutely nothing to compare to the happy that a new baby brings!

Does anyone know if Ahlusion extract their own coffee ? Under ingredients they state natural and organic flavors. I just revisited kona kick and even after a four month steep i get a popcorny aftertaste that a majority of coffee vapes have, at least to my taste buds ( really prominent with HHV ), but i don't really get it with LFR. Could it be the specific type of coffee bean ? I am mystified.

The coffee flavor in Kona Kick and Tiramisu has a slight boozy note to me which a few others have noted as well. Perhaps this is what you are picking up as popcorn? I don't get the booze element in Light French Roast nor Cafe Au Lait and I can't recall anyone else mentioning that they do.

Anyone vape long-steeped Jade Dew? It vaped cleanly for the first three months or so. Now it gunks up coils quickly. I don't recall a juice that went from being so clean to being a gunker after steeping.

I should put up a pic of it; mine is from.........June of last year, I think. The color of it rivals those of well, well-steeped NETs, LOL. I'm not surprised that it would do such to your coils.

Hmmm . . . and those are the only two Coffees that are currently "Not Available." I wonder if they share the same base. . . ?


(Lord, I'm going to drive myself crazy until LFR becomes available again!:facepalm::laugh:)

I'll bet that's it exactly. If they're both still listed, then I'm sure they'll be back!

I wouldn't bet the ranch on it but I wouldn't be surprised if Light French Roast and Cafe Au Lait share the same coffee base. The base flavor does taste the same to me.

I did tell Wlad on the phone that I loved LFR but it was one of the flavors for which I never received a feedback email. :( When my next feedback email comes in I will add it to my reply to see if that might help get LFR back on the menu.

i'm not sure if it's the same thing we are talking about. i have been looking for a straight coffee flavor ( no hints of caramel, nuts, vanilla or anything else ) for a long time. most of them had this hint of what i call popcorny taste which i don't like. so i thought maybe thats the way the flavoring companies produce a coffee flavor. i taste it in kona kick as well, but i don't get it with lfr.

now if ahlusion extracts their own coffee, perhaps it's something to do with that particular coffee bean itself which is used in the extraction ( which might be different to the bean used in lfr ), i mean when you make a natural organic flavor, you are extracting the whole bean, so you are getting not just the flavor molecules, but other molecules which are not responsible for the coffee flavor. i don't know if that makes any sense, but that was my hypothesis !

i probably won't make the same commotion and uproar the boba tea crowd made :) , but i will get a little sad inside if lfr doesn't come back ! even if it comes back for one week and i can order 180 ml, i will be happy.

i don't know if you like strong coffee as well, but if you do, the next time you drive by a 7 11, you might want to try a bottle of the nJoy double espresso. It's a really strong coffee flavor, but it's easily the most accurate espresso vape i have tried. I don't know if i will make it a regular part of my rotation because they only offer it in a 10 ml size and at $ 8 it comes to eighty cents per ml, but i will definitely pick it up again.

Rpad i have nearly year old jade dew and a spare i have yet to open. Dont recall gunking issues though. Not on the level of bobas bounty at least. Is yours all vg?

I have it at 50/50. I can make it to around 5-6ml on an Aqua/Kayfun before I have to dry-burn the coils.

Wow, that's almost Car-Mal Mambo level of gunking! I had thought about trying the Jade Dew, but I rarely finish anything within 3 months, and I hardly ever vape my C-M M for just that reason. Thanks for the head's up!

I didn't know NJoy was already selling bottled juice. That is a great thing for vaping, having a wealthy cigalike seller with a stake in protecting bottled flavors -- especially since it's NJoy, who successfully fought the FDA in the first landmark ecig case. Great news!

Yeah, ego type batteries and carto tanks too. I mentioned it in this thread a few months ago when it was a rumor, and I saw it in seven eleven a couple of days ago aand picked up the double espresso out of curiosity. They have ten flavors in two nic levels ( 10 mg and 15 mg ). If nJoy with their vast resources, are limiting their line to only twenty separate options ( combination of flavor, pg/vg mix and nic level ), I think people here should understand and expect a gradual paring down of options and a move to xpress. Remember, for each combination , a separate application must be filed. The proposed regs will probably come into effect three years from now, but still, that seems to be the direction.

But yeah, good news. They probably know more about the likely regs than most others.

Same here FranC. I received my first order a few weeks ago. Was wanting to stock up on BGB and Devil Dog before it disappears

How is that Devil Dog? I've been wanting to order that one but figured it to be a coil gunker. I figured I would need a dripper or a RBA to get the most out of it.
