I have tried Fijian Nights and Boba w Honeydew. Both of those will definitely mature with some time. The Boba has a bit of a "powdery" taste when it's fresh, and the Honeydew is less sweet and more "rind-y." The Fijian Nights gains an overall fuller taste with steeping, and the pineapple takes a few steps back. But neither of them were BAD fresh, to me.

I enjoy trying them fresh, because the whole steeping process is rather fascinating, and I like to see how it changes.

Thanks....maybe I'll go ahead and give Fijian Nights a try. I know I love the Boba Tea w Honeydew when its mature...I just never had it when it was so young, I think I'd better wait on that one so my love affair with it isn't interrupted at all. :)

Thanks Biz! Have you tried any of these after the 48 hrs, and if so, which did you think was best?

Tiramisu
Blueberry Colada
Fijian Nights
Boba Tea w Honeydew

I've had the first 3. Blueberry Colada would be the first I tap, then the Fiji. I'd leave the Tiramisu for 2 weeks, but I loooove it.

One thing I've found with my own tastes, is that if I already love a juice (and have had it matured), I'm more likely to enjoy it fresh, even if it hasn't reached it's peak. I guess it reminds my brain of the version I do love, even if it's not exactly the same? That's probably a ymmv thing though.

Thanks for the input! I just tossed some Fijian Nights in a shorty carto....I can tell this one will be good. And the funny thing is, my first thought was "its just a little heavy on the pineapple", but based on what Biz said...it sounds like thats exactly what will mellow. Next up...Blueberry Colada!

I've experienced the same with other juices...once I love it, I'm more inclined to be ok with it when its young. And the smell of that Boba Tea w Honeydew is just calling me!!

Good grief, have you seen all these choices available for Pralines and Cream?

Hazelnuts and Almonds
Hazelnuts
Almonds and Pecans
Just Pecans
Just Almonds
Just Hazelnuts

Halp! Who's tried what?

:) I have the Pralines and Cream, Pecans only. (Hell's bells, if it ain't pecan, it ain't a praline! :laugh:)

I hate dessert vapes. I hate nut vapes. But . . .

I really, really enjoy Ahlusion's Pralines & Cream (Pecans only)! :drool:

Alright, I used my 15% and put an order in for:
Grape Vine
Pineapple USD
Sweet Surrender
I hope I made some good choices. Pineapple is one of my favorite vapes, but most vendors taste like perfume. I'm hoping this one is not. Has anyone tried the Pineapple Cream? I would like to get it without breeze or menthol, but, didn't know if it is as good.

Please let me know what you think of the Grape Vine and Pineapple USD. I love a good grape, but haven't found one. I've vaped straight up pineapple too, and the citric bite was more than I could stand. I'm hoping that cake (and a more candied pineapple) are good, because I'd love to try that one. I hope you enjoy these alot! The Sweet Surrender is a really nice mix!

How long did you steep that Fijian, Biz? Mine's about 10 days in, and I'm thinking about loading up a tank of it. That or Stardust. Maybe I'll SEMPERFI them and see which tastes more ready to go.

K*Rose, I really, really like the Pineapple Cream and don't get any "perfumy" taste at all, but I do have menthol in it. I don't generally like citrus-y juices, but this one is a winner for me. It's really mellow, not "biting" at all. Based on your previous experiences, it's hard to say whether you will like it or not, though. Would you like me to send you a sample (50/50, 12mg, sweetened with chill)? Not exactly what you wanted, but might give you an idea...

That's very kind of you. But, that's ok. I'm gonna try the pineapple USD I ordered and go from there.

K*Rose - I just gave Fijian Nights and Blueberry Colada a try. Granted...they are still both VERY young...only 48hrs in. I can definitely taste the pineapple as the predominant flavor in both of these (as of right now anyway...Biz said the pineapple will settle a bit in Fijian Nights), but I have had a lot of other pineapple vapes...and I do not get any of that perfumey pineapple flavor from either of these 2 juices....even while they are still this young. So hopefully that is a good sign for your Pineapple USD Cake!!

I asked for blueberry colada as a sample. Now, I can't wait to try it. Those are my top two favorite vapes: blueberry and pineapple.

So I went out today and spent too much money on clothes for my vacation (I hate clothes shopping, and I hate spending money on froo-froo, but I don't want to look like a bag lady on vacay. >.<) Sooo... the Ahlusion order I placed today was smaller than I had wanted it to be. Finger's crossed it'll get here before I leave on Sunday.

How long did you steep that Fijian, Biz? Mine's about 10 days in, and I'm thinking about loading up a tank of it. That or Stardust. Maybe I'll SEMPERFI them and see which tastes more ready to go.
Last time I tried it was at about... 3 weeks in I think? At that time, I found it to be quite tasty, but a little low-flavor overall for my tastes. Now seems like a good time to revisit it (6 or 7 weeks steeped,) so I'll load it up later tonight and give you my thoughts. I know you like subtler flavors, so this may be spot on for you.

Do you have Luna Fortuna on your wishlist? Pineapple is the top note in that one, and there's nary a hint of perfume to be detected.
