I might eventually order a small bottle with a flavor added to see how it goes, but in my mind starting with an added flavor would be like smothering a steak (or seitan in my case!) in ketchup. Sure, if you don't like the magic that makes steak taste like steak, throw a bunch of ketchup on that #*@^#! But definitely try it without the ketchup, first. :)

DARN IT AX! I had my mind ALL made up! But NOTHING makes me want to bolt from my seat at an untried "Steak house" faster than being asked if I would like "a bottle of 57 with that", and they don't have wine. @($*&%&*!!@!^*!! Plain azz jane 'tis. Tapioca BALLS.

Canyon Sun...the unsung hero. I went ahead and took it with me to work today. I grabbed SVC for back up just in case it wasn't ready. It's 50/50 24mg and heavy on the cranberries and totally NO mint or menthol.

I am going to be totally honest here, you will either really love this juice..or you will wonder what the heck is wrong with my vapebuds. If you like the sweet juices all day long, this will more than likely not quite appeal to you...especially not the way I have requested it to be tailor made to my wishes. If you aren't a big fan of cranberries or citrus...don't do it, because this juice is all about tart yet somewhat sweet cranberries as the main note, with the orange being more of an orange zest sprinkled on top. I swear I think there's a hint of grapefruit in here from time to time..but it may just be the way the orange and the cranberry intermingle with eachother. The TH kicks slightly like a super mule. With a little more steeping that might smooth out and it might even become a little more sweeter, but I honestly hope not, because this juice really appeals to me with it's tartness that never becomes overpowering because of the underlying hint of sweet that lurks there. I have the vaguest aftertaste with it, like when I have been eating Sourpatch kids and that tartness lingers on the back of my tongue. It's pleasant to me, though, because I'm a sucker for sweet and sour type fruits and even candy.

This juice is extremely different from what I am used to. It's the first citrus vape that I have ever been able to enjoy. It's strong, but not overwhelming. It's tart but there's that hint of sweet that keeps it balanced. I keep coming back to it over and over again..SVC remains untouched today while I continue to enjoy this amazingly wonderful cranberry vape. Is it better than Pink Label...nah..Pink Label remains my first and foremost favorite. But definitely in my top 5..and re-ordering is guaranteed.

Gosh Cinna... your description has me feeling ambivalent about that juice. I love juices that linger, but I don't like citrus burn (yeah, the nose hair thing) and I vaped Dekang grapefruit once and HATED that. And how does something "kick slightly like a super mule"? Is that a subtle exaggeration? It sounds slightly impossible! Can I get Jumbo Shrimp with that?

Let me know what you think after it steeps a few days, and the synthetic natural flavors have time to meld.

OK. Seriously, it sounds delicious and I've been looking for a vape that lingers. Found one so far, amazingly it was Volts Cherry. Weird, I know, but that quality was really good. Love cranberries, check. LOVE sour patch and sour gummys. Check. Not sure I can take that throat hit and citric burn though. I'd love to try, however.

Glad you found another winner, Cinna!

Mo - on the tart front...I've kind of been thinking about something that also does the same for me to add to my collection, and for some reason The Ron Effect has my curiosity peaked. (i think thats it...i'm talking about the Cherry & Pomegranite juice). Anyway...I have some juices with their hints of lemon and lime, and that's plenty for me on the citrus front, but I don't really have a tart, non-citrus juice. Have you ever wondered about that Cherry/Pomegranite combo?

Has anyone tried that juice and care to share their thoughts?

No citrus burn yet...but that TH really took me by surprise..it's better now that I am used to it, but I did do a ~cough~HOLY :censored:~cough~ because I thought I was going to have to do a strong pull from the atty..boy was I wrong.

Here's the thing about me, Mou, I am not going to come on here with every juice and say "HOT DAMN this juice is awesome and everyone needs to try it because it IS the best juice EVER!". The truth is, I think everyone should try juices they are curious about. I think Ahlusion has the best juices out there above and beyond. I do NOT think my taste buds are the be all end all..so while I love Canyon Sun; there's a good chance that this is the one juice that really appeals to me that might not to others. If tart cranberries and oranges dancing on the vapebuds sounds like something good to try..Canyon Sun is definitely what you want. I emailed Wlad and Alley just to thank them for making it the way I asked and the fact that I think it's a beautiful creation worthy of re-ordering repeatedly. I can't stop vaping it. I LOVE it. I don't want it to change, get sweeter, or anything. It's absolutely fantastic to me.

My concern is sometimes when reviews are posted about any juice for any vendor that praise above and beyond, people that try it based on those reviews that decide they don't like the juice because heck, they vape coffee, or tobaccos, or teas..or one particular fruit...and then I end up feeling a wee bit bad because the person bought it based on my glowing praise..or anyone else's for that matter.

Canyon Sun is in a league all it's own. It's a masterpiece of cranberry perfection. Your nose hairs should be safe. :)

Yup= leave it to the monkey; I am seriously intrigued!!! I was saying earlier - I have found that I cannot take super sweet all day! I like the sweet - but I do love the sour! And tart is a dream for me. Def. going on my must try list!

Good luck everyone ordering tomorrow and good luck to A+ with the onslaught of orders!

"May the odds be ever in your favor"- with the A+ games (reopening)

Tell ya what, Mou..if you ever decide that you want to bite the cranberry and try Canyon Sun, and it turns out to be something that doesn't agree with you, let me know. I will take it off your hands and make sure you get a gift certificate for a juice of your choice at Wlad's house. Heaven forbid you lose any remaining nostril hairs. :) Your "friends" won't have anything to cling to! :lol:

Monkey, it is a FANTASTIC review. You told me everything I could possibly hope to know about that juice, except for the one thing that you can't, and I can't know. And that is how it'll taste to ME. All I can do is extrapolate this to your description and my experience of other juices, like say, Pink Label. Everything you say about Pink Label is true, but what I didn't get out of your description for that was that it is a subtle juice. This one is CLEAR. Nothing subtle going on here! Sounds FABULOUS. I don't mind the TH so much, when the FLAVOR is there, ala CPBT. With your very clear belief that it will NOT assault my nasal 'do, which could probably use a little trim anyway, that was the missing piece, and I must try this juice. Thank you for the AWESOME review, sincerely.

And one last thing..remember..I ordered it with EXTRA/Heavy Cranberries, so the Orange in this juices is a more of a hint than "in your face". Don't forget the heavy on the cranberry!!! Just make sure you email Wlad prior and he can make it happen. :)

Question for all you chocoholics out there...

How long before I should rip into the Chocolate Cream and the Dracula's Desire???? I would really love to get rocking on at least one of them tomorrow. They both smell absolutely gorgeous and my inner lil kid is clapping her hands with glee at the thought of actually having a decadent chocolate vape without worrying about how I will fit in my jeans the next day.

Which Drac's Monkey? Stra... never mind. My Drac Strawberry was born 10/9 and the first two weeks, the chocolate tasted a little plastic-y. It is verrrry nice now. BUT, the strawberry was a little more vivid when it was first steeped (2 days cap & nipple off, 5 days capped) so I would say... taste it now. Then again in a week. If it still tastes a little plastic to you, it'll disappear in another week or so.

Perfect! I think I will snuggle up with the Canyon Sun for the rest of the evening, but the Drac/Strawberry combo will head off to work with me tomorrow. Heaven help us all if it ends up being as good as it smells. I only have 10mls of it and it's a blasted holiday item, so I'm going to have to break it out on special occasions unless there ends up being a Chocolate covered strawberry up on the site. I browsed the list today and didn't see one...8-o

newbie... I also found the SVC to be a little too sweet..but a very dear friend of mine suggested adding a little Chill and that combo is now one of my favorites. It just cut the sweetness enough that I could enjoy the flavor. The only chocolates I've been able to vape are Ahlusion...others just tasted like dirt to me. It's a little like Christmas Eve tonight isn't it? My wishlist is loaded and ready to be moved to my cart tomorrow:laugh:

I don't really have a tart, non-citrus juice. Have you ever wondered about that Cherry/Pomegranite combo?

Has anyone tried that juice and care to share their thoughts?

Hey D25! I have a sample of The Ron Effect (it was my "freebie" with my very first order). It took a while to steep :)D), but it's really good now. I get far more sweet cherry than pomegranate though; you might ask Wlad to up the Pom a bit if you order a sample. :)

(I really do like it, but it's not a tobacco, or a tea, so . . . :blush: It doesn't get enough love from me!)
