So I finally received my A little bit of everything sampler pack after waiting what seemed like an eternity ( actuality ordered Feb13th received March 2nd) I said there was no way I'm ordering from them again and the wait was ridiculous and more ranting of that sort. I'm not going to do a full review now but all I can say is AiV .. I take back all the mean things I said about you. It was worth the wait. It's only been a couple of days and already I feel like I can't live without their juice ( mostly the tea flavors) I started with A quiet morning and thought it was just a little florally for me but when mixed with some afternoon tea... WOW! I can't imagine finding a more perfect juice for me. It's a perfect soothing smooth subtlety delicious vape. For some that are used to more of a in your face flavors.. AiV might be too subtle .. But for me the more I vape the more I love them. As soon as midnight hit and sales were open I immediately bought 6 30ml bottles and I can't wait.. I mean I can wait cause its worth it! :vapor:

Nice, glad you liked them. I ordered the same thing you did. Just let me try them all. Still have a couple weeks for mine though :(. The juices will have to be extra amazing for me to buy from them again because the wait time is pretty outrageous. Heck I have spent like $250 on juices since I ordered from them. If their delivery times were faster that's money that might have gone to them.

I agree 100% .. That's exactly how I felt.. I was already set on not ordering from them when decent juice from Mt Baker Vapor gets to me in two days and is so inexpensive. Just let me know your feelings after you try .. Taste is so very subjective but I have a feeling you might be saying otherwise.:vapor::tumble:

I don't think the flavors are sweet, from the ones I've had, except for B&W cookie. A Quiet Morning has the slight passionfruit in it, but to me it's not sweet and Afternoon Tea isn't either. My fav is Twas Brillig, it's a bakery flavor. Not too sweet (to me), just mmmmmm.

Another tea I've tried recently is vapor..... Afternoon Delight. Not sweet tea, just tea. It's quite nice and has become my before bedtime vape.

Glad you like your Aiv! Twas Brillig was my favorite. Lemon Loves Cake is a close second. I don't find Aiv flavors sweet, at all. True would be the word I would use, most taste very subtle to me... They are high vg, yet the juice is really thin, they vape quite nicely. I did get, "Berry Little Cheese Cake" from the secret room, and that, I would say, was the sweetest one I have tried. Agree about mixing the teas! I do that with Cherry Blossom also, even a little Lemon. Hopefully as AiV expands and adds help, the ship time will improve. I was aware there was quite the wait, and when I placed my order. I made sure I had plenty of juice, in the meantime! Definitely would never order only AiV when I was running low!

I think vendors like Alice in Vapeland and Ahlusion are worth making the effort. I recently reviewed three AiV juices and was really impressed by them. I loved Mystic Mandalime and B&W Cookie -- very unique juices that are flavorful without being overly sweet. Plus, the packaging and corresponding charms (on 30ml and larger bottles) are adorable.

constant state of confusion
From a post yesterday, they are expanding again to handle the increased orders.

I love my AIV. They are my number one vendor but I do use other vendors as well. Been at this long enough to make sure I always have enough juice, whether it's AIV or from some of the other fine vendors out there.

The subtlety of their juice is what drew me in. Most of the other juices I vape, like Rawr or Mr. E are in your face flavors and I find I need that subtlety in between. AIV are also the only "bakery" flavors I can vape since my lungs changed :blink: that don't make me feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest.

Glad you like them. Lots of people must. They barely made it through being open 14 hours today and they reached capacity. :ohmy:

I do like subtle. Are all flavors on the sweet side?

The b&w cookie is sweet ( Oreo cookie) but the tea flavors are not .. Sweet tease has a touch of sweetness ( like a iced tea with lemon. A quiet morning , afternoon tea, frost blossom and cherry blossom are my favorites. Try the sample pack a little bit of everything 15 6 ml bottles.:vapor:

Yes for sure! I'm on a juice craze right now so I had well over 1000 ml when I ordered from them :)

I'm a sucker for pretty packaging too and their's is really impressive.:)

I agree completely with RPad.

Those two vendors in particular are part of the 2012 wave of artisan juice vendors, and both of them make extraordinarily high-quality, very sophisticated juices. I assume that neither vendor was prepared for the onslaught of "success" that awaited them like a tsunami. Overwhelmed by the tidal wave of orders, they've both been scrambling for some time to expand their employee staff and move to larger facilities. In many industries, businesses have to work hard to succeed at all. In vaping, the really great vendors have to work hard to keep from being killed by their success.

For me, both Ahlusion and Alice are well worth the wait.

Ahlusion is on my next to try list .. Do they offer sample packs?

I received my first order today. I was prepared for a long wait, so the wait didn't bother me - processing and shipping were both faster than I had expected (the old, hope for the best, prepare for the worst). I received Twas Brillig, B/W Cookie and Zombie Apocalypse. I haven't cracked any seals yet - putting my new DID together first. :)

Now that I've been ordering from Ahlusion and AIV, my early juices taste like licking a scented candle.

Lol taste is definitely subjective. I bought a bunch of Ahlusion juice from someone here that was local and wanted to sell his. I didn't want to wait until I could sign up and wait for shipping so I bought the ones he had (big order). Out of 12 juices I sort of liked one but nothing very special that I would go out of my way to vape and one that I could not figure out why anybody would make a flavor like that. My wife likes one of them though. I know taste is subjective so I am in no way trying to bash them and say why not try them you never know. Maybe it was just the flavors I had. They also aren't the only highly touted vendor that I have tried that I wasn't impressed with. I think that's why I have a hard time with finding 5 or 6 different flavors to rotate because if it doesn't wow me I won't vape it. I will put it up and drip it in a month and if isn't good it can just sit there. Maybe I am not sophisticated enough and I like dirty juice lol. Still excited to try AIV though.

I waited nearly a month and received my AiV order a couple of weeks ago. I got a sampler pack and a couple of medium bottles.

The packaging was really cute and I appreciated it.

I feel like that's what I paid for though.

I understand taste is subjective; that's why I'm adding to this thread. While I couldn't be happier that others are enjoying their juice, it's not for me. A couple of them were vape-able, like zombie apocalypse and orange creamsicle, but many were not. I ordered a bigger bottle of White Rabbit in particular, because of the way people rave about it. Unfortunately, both my mother and I find it disgusting. I couldn't get Frost Blossom to vape at all, despite trying it in several tanks that worked fine for other fluids. In fact, it didn't even have an aroma when I stuck my nose in it, so maybe I just received a bad bottle.

They are definitely more subtle and not sweet, so if that's what you're looking for, by all means give AiV a shot. If you like bold flavors of the fruity or bakery variety though, your experience may be as underwhelming as mine was.

They are only a couple of weeks old. I'll shelf them for a couple more weeks and give them another whirl, just to be sure. Stranger things have happened.

I missed ordering from Alice again, fell asleep too early and got off work too late but I did receive my order from Vapor..... to day. The Oba Oba is AMAZING! Sweet but not too sweet, fruity but not to fruity, delicate but still delicious.
