I am using the "I'm too impatient to wait" steeping method.

Step 1: Get a carto tank.
Step 2: Add juice to tank.
Step 3: Sample daily.

Voila! I'm doing this with Sweet Tease ATM. It's pretty good! And different. I taste the tea flavor, a little bit of sweetness, and there's definitely some lemon in there too. Mmm!

Voila!

LOL! My method exactly. :toast:

As far as I'm concerned, the shaking the package gets during shipping, and the couple of seconds the bottle top is open while I fill a tank or a clearomizer... that's sufficient "steeping" for any AiV juices to taste scrumptious to me! :D

White Rabbit (love its mild coconut flavor), Twas Brillig, Cherry Blossom, Sweet Tease, Frost Blossom. Those are my favorites in that order, but I also like all of the AiV juices.

If I had to pick just two e-juices to vape from now on, it would be White Rabbit and Twas Brillig. Straight outta the box! :)

And yes, AiV juices are well worth the narrow order-window and shipping wait time. To me, anyway.

Finally!
Smelled everything, some smell interesting, some barely smell, took lids off to steep for a while, except for the crunkbery, which I dont' remember chosing. I'm dripping it, it tastes like creamy pop rocks.

If your crunkberry is a small 3ml bottle AiV always sends samples in every pkg so you probably didn't order it :)

I received my order from Alice yesterday. With this order, I'll have all their flavors aside from a few behind the red door. My steeping method used to be shake daily, caps open for 2-3 days, drip almost daily, and really get into it about 10 to 15 days after the "born on date". But now I do mostly the same thing except the caps are open only a half hour to an hour at a time twice a day over a few days as suggested by AiV and Ahlusion that the caps don't need to be off for an extended amount of time. Honestly, I sometimes forget to put the caps back on and just feel the shaking is the most important part with some cap off time.

So happy to have my 60mL of B&W cookie, 30mL of Zombie Apocalypse, various 15mL of my other favs, and along with some samples I've yet to try.

I can say that their customer service is excellent though I will say it is best to e-mail Jah rather than reply to Nicole. I think Nicole maybe their auto-email for orders since I've emailed to that address with no reply. Jah sends fast replies and is very helpful, so it's good to know someone is behind that email address.

I just got my sample a little bit of everything yay! I have a few brand new cartos so I'll use that. I Don't understand atomizers... Are they the same as cartos?? Help :(

No scarlett atties are for direct dripping no filler inside and they only hold a few drops of juice ( but most of the time the flavor is 100% better there are a couple flavors that i personally detest from an atty) cartos have filling and you can usually get 30 drops give or take and it might take you a couple/ few hours ( depending on how much you vape) to get to where you need to add more juice ( unless your using a carto in a tank) but they also can mute flavor a bit. Hope that helped a little.

Vaping my fav combo of A quiet morning and afternoon tea right now after steeping for 4 days ( thought it might be too soon but I'm very impatient! .. And it's awesome) I'm one happy girl.:vapor::D

Now I'm curious to mix those 2. I usually get the glass bottles but was bummed when my afternoon tea came in a plastic bottle because I forgot to change the option. Doh...



has anyone tried mind toulouse or pun'kin tumble?
that's definitely on my next order.

I've also had luck contacting them thru facebook/twitter.
b&w cookie and zombie apocalypse are my favorites, but I also got a free sample of cupcake city so I might have to switch that one out :D
so yummy.

B&W Cookie is a top 5 of mine! Cupcake City was kinda cakey (if that makes sense?) to me.

Do we count the time they mix it, bottle it and put it in a box waiting to go out and the shipping time as steeping? I got mine Friday. I opened them to steep. I tried a few today. So far, still not good. White Rabbit and Twas Brillig both have some weird creamy undertaste that is a little pukey. Cherry Blossom tasted like fake cherry candy. Mystic Mandalime is just ok. Quiet Morning and Afternoon Tea have been the best so far. Crunkberry just really tastes like kid cereal with milk. Pear Ship from the C Room is overwhelmingly artificial pear-y.
I should be happy that it's not my thing, considering how long it takes to get it I guess but I was expecting to be blown away.

I count that time. Pear Ship tastes like a pear lager and not artificial ... at least to me. Crunkberry is just that. It's ok if it's not your thing. Just go with a different vendor. There are a few from AiV that were terrible to me as well: 4 square, whatever the one is that tastes like an soft serve with a bad menthol, Bandersnatch, and one other one that I cannot remember.

Is there a way to check the status of your order? I went to facebook, but I didn't see an option.

Check their Twitter feed. They'll post when they're shipping your order date, and shortly after that you'll get an e-mail, er, um, you'll see a twinkle of fairy dust out of the corner of your eye, and hear the ringing of a tiny bell.
