So, due to all of Ahlusion's amazing sales over the past couple of months, I've tried a lot of "new-to-me" flavors. I thought I'd post some reflections, now that it's Winter Break, and I have a little more time. There are really quite a lot, so I might post over a couple of days.
First. let me say, Boba Tea is still my #1 love. I thought for a bit that I was tired of it, but it turned out that I just don't like it as well in a mini PT 3 as in a mini T3. I know a lot of people prefer glass
tanks, but for me, I always end up tasting the metal (even with a plastic drip tip). And, for some of the new people around here who have tried the Boba Tea and found it cloying, yes, it does that after a couple of weeks. Give it a good long steep (6 weeks or more), then try it again. It develops a rich complexity unlike any other
e-liquid.
Also, my #2 is still Moonlight Serenade w/Breeze. I've said it before, but if you haven't tried it and like peaches and mangos, try it!
OK, so on to the new-to-me juices...
Boba Tea Coconut-- It's good. Really good. For a second there, I thought maybe it would replace regular BT for me, but I think that's because, as I mentioned, I was not liking the PT for my BT! It is really good, though. The coconut gives a creamy mouthfeel, but it does overwhelm the "specialness" I find in regular BT.
Autumn Mist-- I agree completely with the rave review others have given. It's great! HOWEVER, it's a similar flavor profile to the Tarte Tatin Apple, and I think that's even better, especially well steeped. Maybe when the Autumn Mist has had a little more steeping time, more complexities will come out to distinguish it.
I've talked about the TT Apple before, but it's still my favorite TT. I'm happily working my way through a 60ml bottle now, after demolishing a 10ml, then a 30ml. When that's gone, I will probably need another 60. It steeps very well, and is only gaining in complexity and depth. The fruit is not washing out at all over time, as some do.
Strawberry Shortcake-- I like this a lot, but it is super-sweet. After a bit of steeping, the whipped cream flavor really comes out. It's nice and creamy, but sometimes a little too buttery for me. It is definitely a different cake base than the Vanilla Cakes. Maybe someday Wlad will put out a Blueberry Shortcake. That would be delicious!
Strawberry Sunset-- When I first tried the shortcake, I thought it would be my new favorite Ahlusion strawberry
vape, but I think this blows it out of the water. It isn't creamy, so if that's what you're looking for this isn't it. It's sweet, bright, and juicy. The strawberry is slighty prominent, but it doesn't overpower the nectarine. I find it very well balanced. I think this has earned a place in my top ten.
That's all for now, but I have a bunch more to talk about!
