Do all of you CPBT lovers (and any juices with "tea" in them") actually like to drink tea? Just wondering, as I do not like the taste of any tea but wondering if I should try a "tea" juice. I am also not a coffee drinker (cannot stand the taste of it), however, I love the smell of coffee and my favorite juices are ones with coffee in them.

Oh, I LOVE TEA! The big question is what kind of tea have you been exposed to. If you have had the best of the best (premium loose leaf) and didn't dig it, then I wouldn't order it, but if you have merely dabbled in generic tea, then you may very well like these.

Protip: A lot of people don't like tea because they over-steep it, use boiling water (and even put the water in first), squeeze the bags, etc. If you really want to get the most out of tea, take the leaves out of the cup (as to how long of a steep, that should be easy to find out, but generally delicate teas are about 2-3 minutes); if it's a finer tea, don't use boiling water; pour the hot water directly over the leaves; finally, don't use too much water! Most teas have very specific steep times and the temperature of the water should be just right. Over steeped tea will be very bitter and chalky.

Even with iced tea... I don't like most people's, because they actually boil the tea bags. Bleurgh!

I am a big-time tea drinker, (iced, sweet) and I have to say that my previous experience with tea probably made it harder for me to warm up to Ahlusion's tea extractions. They are nothing at all like drinking tea, to me. Since I expected them to be similar, it kind of put me off at first. But when I learned to embrace them for what they were, instead of what they weren't, that's when I started to really appreciate.

If you like coffee juices, but don't drink coffee, then you might like the teas without enjoying the beverage. And if you end up not liking it, I'm fairly certain you'd be able to sell or trade before you finished writing up the post!

I'm on my phone now and don't have the actual number of the profiled juice, but if you want a straight-up no-frills, non-spicy tea, Wlad made me an amazing axolotly blend that replicates a cup of green/black tea like nobody's business. I vape it at night before bed, and it is magical. You'll know it's something special as it is the darkest liquid I've ever seen! I'm actually dying for someone else to try it, but it's extremely subtle and not for someone that needs a flavorsplosion. I'm craving it just typing about it, and I don't have any with me!

Did we find out the pink/blue situation with Mr. and Mrs. Mann yet?

Well, I finally tried Ahlusion's offerings and yeah they are much better balanced and more adult.
I will first note that I don't like tobacco and mint or methol juices as a qualifier
1. Berry Shangri-la tea is the best tasting smoke juice I have tried to date and it just keeps getting better with time. It is my all time favorite vape at this point
2. Cantal-Berry Ice without methol or mint- good vape but the melon over powers me a bit, but it is good
3. Cherry Cola- I have no idea what happened with this one, but I think they made a mistake. I have tried it a few times over three weeks and can't get through one ml before I have to stop. It does not taste like cherry or cola and it reminds me of lemon/lime soda on steroids with perfume. It is simply overpowering and I can't even touch the stuff. I emailed Wlad and he said to give it more time so I will, but I dread trying it again.

Unfortunately I have a job and a life style where I am on the move much of the time so I have defaulted to Vision Vivi Novas and and I know they produce a muted flavor.

I will try out some of the other tea flavors and maybe some desert and fruit flavors, but would be interested to know if any of the Nova users have recommendations on a voltage settings and the ohm heads to use with Ahlusion juices. I currently have 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohm heads I have some ego 1000 mah twists. I am currently ordering the 30 vg/70 pg versions of their juices.

Any and all help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Congrats Mr. Mann!! That little girl will have you wrapped around, her finger in no time! :D

I don't doubt it. Wow! All of the sudden all I can think about is all the amazing women that have changed the world, or at the very least, my world. This is going to be bananas! Boy, do I love girls. :laugh:

Actually, I really enjoy a good tea. However, only occasionally and it must be a tea of good quality (no Lipton here).

So, I was a bit cautions with the CPBT since a tea vape did not sound very appealing. Wald suggested it to me and I thought I would give it a go. At first I thought it was really good but not something I would order. I have noticed I keep going for it every time I exit the house. It has gown on me -- a lot.

I'll be ordering more next round.

I thought I was going to flat out HATE it! I think the caramel aspect didn't sound compatible with the black tea and pear. Man, was I ever wrong!

As always...lots of activity 'round here by the time I get a chance to check back. I wanted to comment on a couple of posts...but they are a few pages back....so forgive my laziness in not going back to find them just so I can click "reply with quote"

That said....

Pink Label and the ongoing coconut conundrum! This juice has changed on me so many times now...possibly more than CPBT. I remember when I had my first 10ml bottle, and Cinnamonkey kept mentioning that "kiss of melon", and in my head I was thinking "WTH juice is that crazy monkey vaping, cuz its certainly not this one!" A few weeks later....enter a 30ml bottle....and therefore more steep time...and sure enough...after it had passed the 3 or so week period (which the 10mls never lasted that long....SORRY ELEANOR!!), I started to also taste that touch of melon! Now...I seem to get it more & more....I've yet to taste the coconut that a few others have mentioned....but I swear, every time I go to this juice, I find something new about it.

Next...CPBT....Mr.Mann.....you read my mind on having this juice profiled. I too, wondered about adding more pear. That seems to the more subtle flavor in the mix...but also one I really love when it does shine through. I'm anxious to try some other Ahlusion teas...but am not a Ginger fan, so that automatically takes a few off the list for me. I wondered about a Caramel Apple Black Tea...not a far stretch from the CPBT, but could be nice. I'd be curious to hear what other Black Tea flavors you were thinking about....because I have a feeling there might be some really great flavors paired with that black tea base


And YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOTS OF PINK & AMAZING TINY OUTFITS FOR THE MANN!! Congrats!!!! :)

I was thinking of a strawberry and or raspberry with a touch of vanilla black tea; a raspberry agave nectar black tea; a pomegranate lemon black tea; cranberry blood orange black tea (maybe in oolong as well), and my wheels are still turning about more.
