Exciting day, my order just arrived. Wlad gave me a free 10ml bottle of dulce!!! However, i'm a little disapointed with the aromatics. The
tobacco flavor is great in all of them! The only thing is, I don't taste any of the other flavors. For example, no vanilla in vurley, no maple in maple burley, no cherry in smokin cherries, etc... The flavors might be there but sooo faint. They all kind of taste the same. I knew they were gonna be tobacco dominant but I thought i'd at least taste the other flavors. Do you guys think that will change with steeping? I sure hope so!
ash..man, I'm trying out Ahlusion. I'm using an eGo-c Twist and a cisco 306 lr atty with a cannon drip tip. I have some VG/H2O plain no nic for 'cleansing'. Few drops until the last flavor is gone, etc.
One thing that is pretty solid is that tobacco flavors need more heat to bring out flavor and fruit flavors wash out or get burnt on high heat. I have the Apple House, Apple River Tree House and the Peach River Tree House flavors. I have more but this pertains to them. If I crank up the voltage to 4.0-4.2V, the tobacco flavor comes in strong with the fruit being just a note. If I go to 3.4-3.6V the fruit becomes prominent and the tobacco only a note. I can dial in the 'blend' so to speak.
One other thing you mentioned earlier on the 'ashtray' note on some of the non-aro flavors. Some of your other notes are real close to what I'm also tasting. One thing I noted early on in sampling is that IF you can find someone that is describing what you taste in a flavor, then there's a good chance that what that person likes, you'll like. It isn't 100% but I found someone who was getting the same notes off Janty RY4 - the piney, smoky, caramel cream with some other mystery note.

Not everyone tasted that but the people that did and liked it, I also tried and liked other flavors they were vaping. Finding someone with the same 'palate' is much more important that reading all the fanboy exuberants of this flavor or that. Taste is subjective BUT when you find someone who tastes the same as you, then some "objectivity" or at least agreement enters in. That said....
I taste that 'ashtray' on almost all the non-aros at first and for a while. I've never been a fan of steeping and never had to with what I have vaped steadily for over two years - Decadent Vapours.... However, BWB Espresso does seem to gain flavor with some steeping so I haven't dismissed the idea out of hand (like I did

) Ashtray is most evident for me on Gold Rising and I've had that open for a while now. I did taste it on Smooth Criminal and JG blend (a favorite now - check the avi ...) but that has dissipated now. Deal Maker still has some but less than at first. House Blend had very little, now gone. Vecchio - still has it, but again less than at first. I have all caps off, after reading this thread lol. Thanks Mr. Mann and others....
So.... IF the 'like palate' theory is true or a good guide, then there's a good chance you might like DV's Habana Reserve, Ylang Ylang and Real Tabs.

... and Absinthe if you like absinthe. Ahl.'s Blue Fairy isn't quite there for me, but it's steeping. DV's is a bit more complex and much like the drink.
