Gaaaah. I finally had money to order, went to the website fairly early, and of course they were already closed. And I'm still waiting to be verified, so I can't stalk the Classifieds looking for juice.
That's such a bummer. I'm sorry. There's like a 10% chance I'll post some of my Ahlusions haul on the classifieds once my verification is confirmed. If I do, I'll PM you to give you first dibs, just in case.
I got my first order from Ahlusions today. Unfortunately, I ordered before I realized that I should reduce my nicotine content, so everything's a bit harsh for me. Once I determine what I truly love out of these, I'll have to order some low nicotine bottles to cut the strong ones with.
I love how carefully everything was packaged and sealed. I received 10mL bottles of W&A Sasparilla, Ginger Apple Tea, a 10mL sample (so generoussss!) that I requested of Blue Fairy, and 30mL bottles of Boba Tea and Cha-Yen Orange Blossom. (It seemed more economical to go with larger sizes on things I thought I'd really like.) I'll post a more detailed review later because I think I have vaper's tongue. Or SOMETHIN'. I don't know what's going on, but it's frustrating.
So far, W&A Sasparilla has notes of high quality lemon and creamy maple, and they blend together to make a very true Coke taste. It wasn't what I expected, and I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew, but it's actually really refreshing. I'm glad I have it. I strongly dislike Cha-Yen Orange Blossom but am going to keep trying it. It's mainly because the orange note in it reminds me of Tang. It's a candyish orange. Blue Fairy is extremely sweet and is pretty much pure black licorice right now. There's a note behind it that's very subtle that I hope to bring out through steeping. If not, I think this would be great mixed into something with a creamy vanilla. Boba Tea is nice and comforting but has a slight floral taste. I found myself craving it after I put it down, even though I can't say I love it. Ginger Apple Tea mostly tastes like a smooth, mellow ginger. No tea notes or apple.
Like I said: Vaper's tongue. :< I think.
I've had nothing but strong, complex, perfumey blends for the last week, and I think maybe it's thrown off my palate. I'm going to revisit all of them throughout the week once I have my tastebuds back and see if my preliminary vapes were a fluke.
I hope this is coherent. It's past my bedtime.
