I have to say I admire those of you that are that in tune with your taste. So much so that you can judge juices to the point you can. I crack a bottle and either like it or don't but never can I pinpoint things like "it seems like one flavor is congregating towards the middle" I am too unpredictable and unsure of self to ever be able to do. There are always too many variables in my life/world which include builds, equipment, hydration, how hot it is in the house, mood..YES mood factors in for me. I was over the top in love with Just Criminal for months and now all the sudden it taste like greasy tar to me. I attribute this to my mood but maybe it is more. My juice is always kept in the same way....either fridge or cool dark area of the house.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. But there are some liquids I've vaped SO much of under so many circumstances that I'm pretty confident picking them apart. For those I'm not so confident about, I try to assess them under the most controlled, familiar conditions I can. So, I use a Vapage or Cisco 510 atty at 8-10 watts, which for me is the standard for flavor. I can vape with other gear at other wattages too, but I try to first judge using what I'm most familiar with. Of course, some liquids are better with bigger atties, wattages a 510 can't handle, etc.

As far as the flavor of new Smooth C, of course the flavoring isn't literally in the middle. But my perception is that the essence of the Criminal flavoring is the center of the flavor, and is too strong, while the secondary flavor effects on the periphery of that center are essentially the same. And, yes, our preferences and perceptions change too -- which can be a little scary. But at this point, there are a few I'm confident in for the long haul.

Well none the less I admire your diligence to enjoying your juice AND sharing your findings with us (every thread needs that one scientific person)

That's funny. Usually I'm accused of being unscientific, even poetic. I'll take it, though!

 

[chanelvaps]

With me it is either like "BLAGHKKK...taste like burnt tar" or "hey that was good taste like hot chocolate" (and then I keep my thoughts to myself)

Actually I do not think I ever did that "BLAGHKK" thing with Ahlusion. There were a few I did not understand the love...but nothing gross

Fun fun... Vapemail from the weekends sale.

Two new flavors to me:

Alton - Odd man out here. I am completely getting Orange Sherbet. No waffle bowl yet, but I'm not surprised. Like Rasputin and a lot of the cake and pie crust flavors, it takes some time before those flavors come out. It's a touch harsh (you guys call this throat hit I think?) and sharp FOOB, but I suspect that when the softer flavors of the waffle bowl come out to play, that might change. As orange sherbet, I very much like it. Very good, not yet great but that could change. I'm starting to think I'm partial to Orange.

Drewdles - Mr. Mann, you SO nailed this one. I'm not just getting a sugary cinnamon, I'm getting one of those decadent Cinammon Grands WITH the icing! What is boggling my mind, is how a vape that isn't advertised as having bakery flavors (although it is pictured in a waffle cone) and the buttery biscuit-y flavor is SO prominent! It usually takes time for those flavors to be really discernible but this one is right out of the gate! This is really new territory for Ahlusion, and I like what they've done here. This is going into the steep box so it'll be awhile before I will know if I can take this as a regular vape, or it's just a one night stand type of juice. My past history with sweet pastry vapes is not encouraging, but who knows?

My Ahlusion Order came in!
Sweet Georgia Peach, and Caribbean Blend.

Here's to hoping that dancing continues. If not, know that the party has really yet to begin.

No, we're odd men out. That is exactly how Alton tasted to me when fresh (Ahlusion E-Juice Part 3 | Page 400 | E-Cigarette Forum I am a bit baffled by the comments on it (not baffled by other's opinion exactly, but how it can play so differently). But who knows, it's likely just one of those things.

 

[chanelvaps]

Used to be the case, that even though I labeled AHL juices the supreme of all, I had to go elsewhere for certain things. AHL was great for fruits, Teas and Tobacco's but not so much for desserts. The Tartins are good but very subtle. PUDC is good. Not much else that is what I consider a dessert with substance UNTIL NOW. Add Rasputin, Ying Ylang, Fort Custard and Drewdles and AHL is pretty much covering all area's. I might not be giving my money to anyone else. Do wish Wlad would make a Yogurt Flavor though

Oh thank goodness. February?! That must have been the Max line? No wonder I don't remember, old-timers disease. I was worried it might be the pictures power of suggestion, but I surely didn't get any hot dog. Can't smell it, 10ml sample, I was kinda SKEERED of this juice. No doubt about it to my taste though, Orange Sherbet. In the steep box it goes. Looking forward to waffle, and "something herbaceous"! Could be a touch of mint, like as in the real mint leaf. Those are minty, AND herbaceous. Clever Mann.

I tried it in the Max V and it didn't taste right. Just got a sample of my preferred 30/70 last week and I'm letting it steep. It already smells much better so it's promising.

Saturday Morning has become my favorite vape. I'm going to try it sweetened but I can't imagine it tasting any better. I just don't think it's possible! Lol. I have a fridge full of juice but all I've been vaping is Saturday Morning, Lychee Coconut Smoothie, and Wild Orchid. I need to order more Hawaaian Sun, sweetened. Looking forward to trying Rasputin!

Have you tried the Lassis yet? (Sorry, dumb question. )

 

[chanelvaps]

Wild Orchid.

hehehe wild Passion

 

[chanelvaps]

Mango Lassi is already one of my top five. I just recently ordered Papaya but it is still steeping. Smells good.

Just vaped some of the Sweet Georgia Peach (aromatic tobacco) Dude ....it's sooo good.
It's like a mild pipe tobacco with a hint of fresh crisp peach atop. (70vg/30pg)
definitely a deep steeping requirement.

Back when the tobacco was a NET, SGP was one of my all-time favs and easily my favorite fruit-tobacco. The peach was just shockingly good, and melded with the tobacco perfectly.

I've yet to try any of the reformulated aros. Pretty curious about them, interested to see how they translated such a bold an authentic tobacco into synthetic form.

Been a long time since I vaped a Wild Wood. Last one was Maple WW, which tastes pretty amazing.

Sampling some fresh Winter WW I'm reminded how much I love the WW tobacco flavor. Seriously one of the best synthetic tobacco flavoring I've had. Sadly, also reminds me that I'm just not that into menthol vapes these days.

It's pretty wintery. The WW definitely enhances the menthol, but for me the menthol doesn't enhance the WW. That may change, just my initial impression. The WW notes really are fantastic though. I REALLY wish Ahl would release the Wild Wood tobacco as a standalone option.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Rasputin and Yin Yang are getting prepared...can't wait! But I forgot to get more Wild Orchid!

yes, the original Sweet G Peach, was very bold, smokey, and tasty. I have to let this new batch steep, and I will let you know how it translates.
