I wouldn't bet against you loving it. I don't even understand why, it just has something really compelling about it. It's like candy, without being candied.

I must say that I have not been exposed to much tea. Earl Grey, Lipton - yuck!! I never went any further!
Ok - Sweet Surrender. I'll start by saying I hated it at first. It was my least favorite of all of Ahlusion (of course still better than most of the other dreck in the drawer lol). It tasted like mush to me. Sweet muddied mush. Like a big old melted ice cream sundae that melted and then sat in that in that weird spot between the couch and wall for more days than you want to admit. Then everyone kept on with the "oh sweet surrender it's so pretty". So I tried it again. And of course I liked it. it's sweet. Creamy. Fruity but not aggressively so. My favorite is that little hit of acid at the end. Could be citrus but I'm leaning more towards pineapple. The other fruit? I think I could be easily convinced it was peach. Or mango. Or apricot. Or maybe even some pear but my memory says it was more tropical. I did get a little coconut but not much and I could just as easily assert it was hazelnut. How's that for a non-answer?
I found out a little something tonight about just how special of a vendor we support (as if we needed anymore evidence.) I am going to wait to ask him if I can talk about it, but it is just based on how involved his process is in bringing us what we want and none of the stuff that we wouldn't want -- though many would never know they were getting what they didn't want. Did that make any sense?
I really like that he cares about what we're ingesting. Personally, That's all that I need to know. Anything else is just icing. Sweet, sweet icing.
Why do you persist on teasing us?! All of this innuendo and shadowy cloaked tidbits. I didn't even care what gender my own sister was expecting, but I was on the edge of my seat to find out if you were going to be a Dad, or a Daddy. Effective, intriguing, beguiling, maddening.. I wish you wouldn't stop that!

Ooooh...I didn't realize it showed that! I better stop stalking all you guys!! j/k!!
I love guessing what everyone looks like....especially since I tend to chat with most of you more than anyone else on any given day....its like my own group of real imaginary friends!! LOL
And Biz....I think you are on to Sweet Surrender...and that, it definitely is!!
Oh Laura, you've essentially said, "vaping? Oh, I've tried it, but I can't get into Blu - yuck!" Trust me, it is just about the same distance between real quality tea and Lipton, as it is between Blu flavors and Ahlusion. Maybe you should try Cranberry Autumn (though I've never had that one -- I just didn't want to type CPBT again. LOL)
Lisa...I am LOVING this non-answer answer....and I think you are probably pretty close. I get the tropical aspect every so often....so pineapple had crossed my mind at some point....so did banana, but that hasn't come back much since. I can definitely see the pineapple and peach/mango/apricot possibility. Really nice juice.

CPBT and CA are so different. They're definitely both what I would consider adult flavors but where CPBT is deep and rich and mysterious and yes, sexy - CA is sharp and bright and austere. It has a herbaciousness to it - junipery almost - like a really good gin. Also sweet:not sweet. I don't think liking one guarantees you'd even want to be in the same room with the other. In other words I would be very hesitant to recommend it (CA) to someone unless I was very familiar with their palate.
Good and bad news updates.
The bad: I loved the cpbt when I got it. I put it away to for a few days and something went horribly horribly wrong with it. It went from delicious to completely bitter. I'm taking complete blame even though I don't know what I did to it. I'm trying to figure out what condition or contamination could have happened to cause the change but I'm at a loss. I thought that it was some bad steeping voodoo that wasn't agreeing with me but but I've tried it a handful of times and had friends try it that had tasted it before it went sour...we're all in agreement that something must have gotten in the bottle at some point. It no longer even resembles what it once was.
The good: I had a bottle of Pomegranite Black Tea that has sat untouched for 6 weeks, other than my initial tasting, because I've been rotating through my A+ fruits. It was great when I got it and is now UNBELIEVABLE! 6 weeks has made a fantastic juice into the best vaping experience ever. If you have some, or if you get some, do yourself a favor and have somebody hide the bottle. Its going on reorder in a bigger bottle asap and I'm thinking of having the Mrs take it out of my weak willpowered arms reach with explicit instructions to not tell me where it is until New Years.

Good post. Yeah, I've never had it, but I figured it is probably still a good "tea" reference. I know the oolong in Ginger Orange OOlong was one of the most precise replicas of a flavor, let alone a complex flavor, that I have had. You really just sold me on CA, BTW. Great post, and no, it wasn't pretentious, it was informative and beautiful.
I got it at the end of September and have given it a hopeful taste every couple of weeks since the sudden bad turn that took place about 2 weeks in.
I bought a mini Provari after just about one month of vaping - I love it - it's not much heavier than an eGo Twist - here's an old pic from back in April - but just for comparison of the mini and eGo type batts (I think I now have an eGo Twist in about every color they sell!! - too bad the colored ProVari's came out after I bought the one pictured here):

Holy crap! You're like the Robert Parker of ejuice! That is an exQUISITELY descriptive description. Very nice Lisa, I'll remind myself to not bother trying to read between your lines. They're clearly demarcated.
Yeah, it seems that every time I see a mod in person for the first time, I'm shocked at how small it is! Doesn't matter what it is -- it's always smaller than I imagined. My conclusion is that video reviewers are all teeny tiny people.
My only beef with the Provari (aside from not being VW
) is I think the Mini is a much more aesthetically appealing device than the full size (not that it's bad looking) in my opinion, but the Mini's button placement is a little awkward because it's so small, and if I'm going to get a tube mod, it's pretty much gonna be 18650 for me or nothing.Fact: All girls love purple, ponies, and cheesecake.
