Smooth flavors get harsh when dripping. I am a big believer in the right hardware can make or break a juice. I think SC is best slightly muted, so you get more flavor on the backend than on the initial vape. The exhale with SC on my ViVi is perfect, tasty and very smooth, but not dumbed down too much. Temp is also just as important, I don't think SC is a higher heat juice either, needs to be a medium temp for best flavor profile.

Yes Tez! Me too! I have that and Smokin Cherries on "notify me" mode. Any idea how long we'll be waiting?

Yeah, I'm also in "notify me" mode! :) I haven't heard how long we'll have to wait, but I'm sure it will be well worth it. To be honest, my experience with fruit tobacco vapes has mostly been a series of disappointments, which is a shame because I really love(d) a good cherry, apple, or peach pipe tobacco in combustible form. Since I started vaping, I've searched high and low for something that approximates that experience -- a fruit that's cured with the tobacco to soften its rough edges and bring out the best of both fruit and leaf. Most everything I've tried has been mediocre at best, or more often a miserable failure, tasting like fruit-flavored Italian soda syrup (or cough syrup in many cases!) mixed with artificial tobacco flavoring. I have 100% faith that A+ can pull it off though, because Wlad really understands the dynamics of tobacco, probably better than any other vendor out there. He's really set a high standard with Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley, and any addition to the aromatic line will find its way into my shopping cart the second it's available.

Yeah, I definitely found it most approachable on the lower end of the wattage spectrum. When I upgraded to the twists I ordered several types of delivery systems. The one thing I have yet to use is the Nova Mini. I've been saving it for when I find "my" juice, but maybe I'll give it a go with SC. I've been very eager to try it anyway. I'm assuming you prefer the higher Ω heads? Thanks for the input KrasH!

So eloquently stated, Tez! Peach is def one of my fav flavors. I've always had a sweet tooth, and an affinity for cinnamon as well. I'm vaping Apple House Blend with my coffee right now (more on AHB later) and the mixture of A+ fruit and tobacco is really appealing... so I'm pretty sure Peachy C will be my speed. We shall see.



EDIT: ack! sorry for the double post, y'all. just figured out how to multi-quote. Won't happen again! ;)

To be honest, I'm experiencing a lot of ups and downs with Smooth Criminal... mostly downs. :( I was diggin on it for a bit, but the more I vape it, the less I'm liking it. The cinnamon is well distracting, and I can't get past it. I do like the toasty overtones of the juice though. Unfortunately, I don't know if this one is worth trying to customize. I feel like it's mostly about the cinnamon here, which seems to play a major roll in the overall "smoky"-ness of the experience. Granted it's DOB is only 10/29, so I'll put it away for another week, but be on the lookout for a possible trade ;)

I'm considering Peachy Criminal in my next order... so I'm wondering, does that also have the cinnamon kick to it? If so, I'll just need it to play 2nd fiddle to the peach. That should be do-able, I just can't handle it being the star of the show! :sneaky: Hoping someone can offer some insight on Peachy, while I go look for some reviews.

I am using a stallon cartomizer from gotvapes with the Smooth criminal And it is out of this world for me. I really liked HHV tobacco line, it was my favorite until I tried SC. After I let it steep a week I tried it and emptied the 30 mil bottle in a week. I have never done that before with any juice.

Don't know why but that gave me goosebumps! Really neat!

Hi Cay, Hi Scarf,

Wow, this sounds familiar... :) Very nice Moueix.

I have got to stop looking at juices!!! At least until payday.... :p
Night all and BTW, nice thread. I just stopped in from HHV, but as Cali. ex-mayor was/is famous for saying, I'll be back!
The A+ flavors look so enticing ...

I feel your pain. I started this journey hoping to find 2-3 juices I like to put in standing "permanent" rotation. I was having trouble finding more than 1 until Mr. Mann suggested Ahlusion. I am up to 6-7 now and the list is still growing.
So much good juice, so little time, devices, etc. And yes, lot cheaper than stinkys but there are money limits too.

I use the opinions (and volume of comments) in this thread to help decide what to try next. So far we concentrate on what everyone ordered. I'd like to see a list of everyones favorite Ahlusion juices with configuration. To follow up an earlier post from Cinnamonkey and to follow her lead. No specific order.

Sleighride with extra mint- 50/50
Smooth Criminal - 70pg/30vg
House Blend - 50/50
Melon-Berry frost with breeze- 70pv/vg
Strawberry Vanilla cake extra strawberry - 70pg/30

Others receiving votes - Lemon-lime breeze ; Desperado
