Alice in Vapeland, My General Experience so far..

[aubergine]

Funny. I loved smoking way back once upon a time and for a long time tried (with poor luck) to replicate tobacco taste. Three years later, anything that even remotely reminds me of that taste makes me queasy.

Since tobacco almost invariably tastes awful the first few times you smoke it, remember? - it's my conviction that the nicotine conditions us to like the taste. Like fine scotch and cognac - if it had no buzz we'd have the child's unconditioned response - "ew, bug spray".
I now associate cigarette smoking with all of the miseries that I've left behind and can't stand even the smell of good pipe smoke, which I once found divine.

I figure I'm thoroughly reconditioned, and (absurdly, if you think about it, which we shouldn't) it actually makes total sense to take descriptions of steam flavored with food flavorings that read like gourmet food reviews very seriously.
All in all, that's wonderful, yes?

I find that now, tobacco vapes do nothing for me at all (but I have not tried Ravyn yet). I prefer frosty and/or fruity juices. You know...there is no juice that I can vape constantly actually, but that's just how I am (i'm not alone in that). I will hit one for 30 minutes to an hour, then switch. So many lovely tastes, you know?

I am the opposite.... ive been trying to get into tobacco flavors but I havent found the right one! Ive tried some decent ones but nothing that would make me constantly vape it (Boba, BWB applewood, VR kentucky maple)

Currently have epipemods Shire malt waiting for me at home and ravyn OTW!!! Whoop

Great Post

How do people go through their e-liquid so fast? I filled up a 3.5ml tank/carto combo two days ago... been vaping all day for two days. Feel like I've barely made a dent in the level of juice. :/

I've always chain-vaped - and there's no external restriction on it for me. It's not at all unusual for me to roll through 8-10 ml in a day. That's one of the reason these things work so much better than patches etc. - everyone who smokes develops a rhythm that suits them.
And I was an atrocious chain smoker. Gag. Blush.

Thanks.... Ill order white rabbit and keep an eye on this thread-;

When I first started vaping I thought all I would want would be tobacco juice so I ordered about 10-15 different tobaccos and I only ordered 2 bottles of Fruit flavoured juice more as a novelty.

I found that I only smoked the tobacco for the first few days and then got hooked on the fruit as I started to realise exactly what you stated - we condition ourselves to enjoy the tobacco flavor as a means to get the nicotine.

But now I am re-discovering tobacco by being introduced to NET's - but not the burnt leaf and paper - the smell of fragnent tobacco leaves laced with other aromas.

I'd still rather smoke the aliceinvapeland dessert flavors but NET's are growing on my. It will be great once AiV has a couple in their range too as I am sure they will come up with something unique and not just another Graham Cracker or Vanilla Cherry tobacco

I was never a consistent smoker until I got a hookah and started experimenting with different brands and flavors. Cigarettes were just a portable way to get my nicotine fix until I could get home and heat up some coals. While I did develop an appreciation for different types of cigarette tobacco, it was still more of a way to get my nicotine than it was something I enjoyed.

When I started vaping, I went straight for fruity and sweeter flavors. I've tried a few tobaccos as something that isn't so sweet when those flavors become overwhelming (which is rare, but it does happen), but nothing has really jumped out at me yet. Even with the tobacco juices, I find myself looking for tobaccos mixed with fruit, and lately I've been researching RY4s. On the other side, a coworker who started vaping a couple months ago will barely touch anything other than tobacco flavors. He's tried a couple of fruit flavors, but his ADV is now Boba's. Like they say, taste is subjective.

On another note, I'm nowhere near having tried all of the samples I got from AIV last week, but I just placed another order anyways. A couple of tanklets, a 60mL bottle of White Rabbit, a 30mL bottle of Call Me Vanilla, a sample of Absinthe-Minded and a sample of Forgotten Memories, all in 18mg. I'll order more later as I work my way through everything, but WR and CMV were just too good to wait to order! I haven't felt this excited about a juice/vendor since I found my ADV ~8 months ago!

Now all you need is one of Teena's Dragon Drip tips with your tanklet!

You are not alone!

But all of you will get it way before me - mine gotta travel to the other side of the world!

The last update on their twitter/facebook was from Friday, January 11th stating that orders from the 4th of January had been shipped. I'm just guessing, of course...but if they're still at seven days, the first orders of Ravyn may have started heading out yesterday.

 

[alegria]

I believe I ordered within a few hours of it being released and I am yet to get shipping confirmation.

Will post here the minute I do unless someone beats me to it which I am almost certain of

 

[Riversong]

I ordered almost the second it went up....and no shipping notice. That said, even with past orders I sometimes do not get a shipping email. I'm glad you'll let us know! I will too, of course.

Meant to ask this yesterday before I ordered, but has anyone ever tried "He Said, She Said"?

 

[Riversong]

I've never heard of it Amy. What is it?

It used to be in their regular rotation...a peachy bourbon, I believe. I meant to ask before I placed my order as I was curious about it. They still do it by special order, but it wasn't for everyone, according to their site. I found a couple of reviews which weren't very wordy...looking for a little more description as AiV's site says it is "a bit harsh".

 

[Riversong]

Ah, ok! I thought i'd missed something. Well....I guess I did miss something! Have you seen this old post about that juice?

I did, haha. "Bizznatch slapped me across the face", hee hee. I do like peach and I'm Irish...but I'm not sure if a whiskey or bourbon vape is for me. Good thing that the mailbox will be full soon. I can take my time and search around a little more!

 

[Riversong]

Bizznatch is just such a fun word really.
