Overall - good vapor, clean liquid, the packaging is fun, you get a customized thank you print, a playing card with a quote from Alice in Wonderland, and a mess of little bottles. Throat hit is okay across all of the flavors.

A Quiet Morning - I like this a lot, I wasn't sure about the tea flavors going in. I get the green tea, and the passion fruit right away. This is a very delicate vape, very subtle, the name is perfect. This is a sit and think flavor. I don't know if I'll order more, but I was surprised with it. Of all of them, this has the strongest aftertaste, very pleasant, and is very aromatic.

April Moon - Love this one! Apricot, and blueberry. Very nice and crisp. More apricot for me, and I hate real apricots, but I love this flavor. Nice change of pace, and not heavy at all.

Black And White Cookie - very sweet, does not have that "something" of a real B&W (I'm from NY, I know what they taste like), honestly, I can't tell this one apart from Cupcake City, but I'lll return to this in the future.

Cupcake City - Tastes just like every generic cupcake liquid I've tried, cloyingly sweet, not a fave. It's not bad, if you like sugar icing on cupcakes.

Mystic Mandalime - I like this, but it could be stronger. Very light, refreshing. I feel I want more lime.

Twas Brillig - very nice! Blackberry crumble. Might order more. Could be stronger, but blackberry is a flavor you can overdo easily. I don't know why, but I thought this was a tea based flavor, very pleasant surprise! I feel it needs...cinnamon? Something?

White Rabbit - LOVE this. Coconut? Maybe? I don't know, but it's really good. Ordering more of this!

Zombie Apocalypse - very good strawberry, but again, could be stronger for me. I have other strawberry liquid that's better.

15 Foot Falls - the most complex of the flavors, next to White Rabbit. Marshmallow is the first thing I tasted, then the graham cracker/cookie/whatever, and there's even more under that. This one reacts well to voltage levels, and changes profile easily. I really like this one, it nails a kind of smores while smoking kind of campfire flavor. This is on my order list.

Crunkberry - reviews I've read said Crunch Berry, but my first reaction was APPLE JACKS! And good Apple Jacks, I had a bad experience with an Apple Jacks flavor from another vendor. Fun flavor, but I probably won't order this one again.

Creamsicle - I don't get orange or cream from this. I get something, but it's not anything I can put my finger on. I have another creamsicle from another vendor, and it's not even close to that. This one goes back to the steep cabinet.

Cherry Blossom - I want to spend more time with this, first taste I immediately was taken back to being a kid, with the cherry blossoms on the trees in our yard in upstate ny. Wow. I really like this! This is not a cherry fruit flavor, this is the flower!

Pun'kin Tumble (Avoiding this, not a pumpkin fan) - coming soon

Afternoon Tea- coming soon

Frost Blossom- coming soon

Lemon Loves Cake- coming soon

Thanks for the reviews. Very helpful for this AIV newbie. I've only tried White Rabbit and Twas Brillig and I like them both. I wasn't sure if I liked Twas Brillig at first but it didn't take long to grow on me. Definitely a favorite now. White Rabbit was an instant hit.

Your comments on A Quiet Morning and 15 Foot Falls have me intrigued. Might have to give those a try.

White Rabbit tastes like a butter pecan base with a subtle maple/coconut background and a light but tart flavor which I've heard some people say tasted peppery but when I crunk up the voltage I clearly tasted a dragon-fruit or passion-fruit twist. There might be a drop or two of vanilla in there and def some spices, like the spices you find in pumpkin pie.

15 Foot Falls is coconut, marshmallow, graham cracker and 10 or 15% tobacco as an accent note.

A Quiet Morning is the best green tea vape I've tried; the other 2 I had struggled to bring the green tea flavor up front.

I re-order 15 FF and AQM and keep a bottle of those ready to go :)

Thank you so much this was sooo helpful to read! I haven't ordered from Aiv yet but I'm planning to. Can anyone share with me how aiv juices hold up in an mt3s or an Aro tank? Are they generally thick and sweet juices where you have to change the heads every few days? How much steeping time do these juices generally need?

Can't help you with the tanks but the juices are usually subtle but not too subtle. Only a few of the 11 that I have tried were bold flavors. (I didn't order the 5 citrus flavored juices in their main 16 line up; although they do have a few "hidden" juices in the caterpillar-room and oddity juice room as well as a few off menu juices also.)

The steep advice I got about it from the AiV page here on ECF is:

'Twas Brillig - bolder but tasted too candied to me
Pun'kin Tumble - bolder, tastes like a sweet pumpkin roll
*15 Foot Falls - tastes exactly as the site describes it
Cherry blossom Tea - the cherry blossoms are bold the rest is subtle
A Quiet Morning - subtle but I love it, the boldest green tea I've tried
April Moon - average strength but I'm not an apricot fan
Afternoon Tea - the tea is subtle the sweet cream isn't ... always tasted burnt to me :(
^FOOB but get better with time^

*Black & White Cooke - bold cookie practically no cream
White Rabbit - subtle
Cupcake City - subtle
^In need of a bit of a steep and WR needs ~1Month^

Later someone asked about *Zombie Apocalypse - subtle [I prefer Pink Cupcake from GLV] (which I was glad someone asked I got it as a bonus sample) and they said about 10 days for any juice with fruit. So you might want to up the steep time on some of them to 10 days.

*= These will probably gunk up your coils because they are darker. Having only had 3ml samples of everything but 15FF and AQM it's hard for me to say anything about gunking up coils. The only one I've heard complaints about is 15 Foot Falls; but since I love that one and still sample new juices after one tank with another coil ( I clean the coils after every flavor with PGA ) I haven't noticed.

The pic was too small so I just typed it out
