Alice in Vapeland - My Review of Every Flavor

Status
Not open for further replies.
Caveat: Only been vaping for about 50 days. 0 nic. Ego-c Upgrade Clearos. New to reviewing!
I received my order yesterday and was delighted to see this box:

Now, another preface is that I am a sucker for good marketing and these folks definitely believe in putting time into their presentation. I really loved the little playing cards and stamps and even the shredded paper. Their labels are pretty and unique.

I ordered the "Little Bit of Everything" sampler which gives you 15 tiny little 5ml bottles of every flavor they have.

When I opened the box, I was greeted with this:

Under the receipt was this. BEHOLD:

As far as the flavors, I usually do a "dot test" on the back of my hand and taste a dot of the juice before I vape it to get a good idea of what to expect. They all tasted pretty amazing except for "White Rabbit" which had a peppery taste. I know this is not a litmus test since these juices are meant to be vaped and not drank but I was surely tempted to turn up the bottles and squeeze each one into my mouth, they were that good.

Another preface is that AiV juices are much "lighter" in flavor than other juice. This is not a bad thing. Your mouth doesn't get overwhelmed with a saccharin sweet film of flavor and you actually enjoy each vape as a delicacy. Think of it as the difference between a ribeye steak perfectly cooked so that it needs no sauce and a deep-fried monstrosity covered in every sickening condiment known to man so that the flavor is overwhelming and thus, imperceptible.

"Lemon Loves Cake" is an amazing blend of light, buttery poundcake with a custardy lemon undertone. And it's not the nasty, Lysol-tasting lemon that I've encountered with other vendors. It's muted. It is airy and delightful (if this were poundcake, it would be super fluffy and have giant air holes all in it) and I will definitely be ordering another bottle (a HUGE ONE!) of this!

"Black and White Cookie" - If you want to vape an Oreo cookie, vape this! This is a rich, chocolately/vanilla blend with a nice cookie biscuit undertone and just the tiniest hint of coconut. Probably the best chocolate flavor I have ever vaped. A huge bottle of this will be ordered!

"Cupcake City" - Holy Buttery Homemade Cupcakes, Vapeman! This made me think of giant, fluffy french vanilla cupcakes coated with whipped buttercream. Super delicious! WANT. MORE.

"Cherry Blossom" - Cherries and something mildly floral. NOT perfume-floral, but floral in the way of inhaling a nice jasmine or honeysuckle. It is supposed to be a "tea" flavor but it's much closer to a white tea than a black tea. Mouthwatering and divine!

"Bandersnatch" - I'm a banana hound and this definitely satisfies! There is a light coffee and caramel undertone and a hint of black tea. It is a smoooooooothe and delicate flavor and intensely relaxing. Reminds me of curling up with a flannel blanket on a cold night.

"Mystic Mandalime" - This was apparently a customer contest winner. It is definitely a mix of lime, mandarine orange, tea, and cream. Lemony and subtle and super good after a heavy meal. A very delicate hint of ocean.

"Zombie Apocalypse" - FREAKING YUM. If an Oreo milkshake had a strawberry afterburn, this would be it. The fruitiness of this is not that overpowering fruit of other juices, it's a "we made you a cupcake and misted it with strawberry juice" kinda thing. DELICIOUS!

"Frost Blossom" - A chocolate orange meets mint. You might think this won't be awesome. You'd be WRONG. This is winter morning meets orange groves in Florida with a tiny hershey kiss in the middle of each orange. FROSTY! Very good!

"Creamsicle" - Remember those Creamsicle popsicles that had the white creamy middle from when you were a kid? This is it. DELISH!

"Crunkberry" - Captain Crunchberry on a buttery cupcake with a side of cream. Very layered in flavor and GOOD!

"Sweet Tease" - A definitive tea flavor that they should have named "Southern Sweet Tea" because that's what it reminds me of. There is a nice juicy lemon garnish on the icy droplet-covered glass too! ORDERING MORE!

"Afternoon Tea" - I wanted to turn this up and drink this. Think of a high-quality Earl Grey with cream and the tiniest hint of pekoe. YUMMY.

"Twas Brillig" - If you had a nice cup of tea and a hot piece of blackberry crumb cake on the side and the hot aroma steam combined right under your nose? This would be it. A-MAZ-ING and unique. Want More!

"A Quiet Morning" - I saw a lot of hype about this one and now I know why. Green tea with honey and a soft fruity flavor - maybe mango? Something a tiny bit tropical. Probably going to become a daily vape for me.

"White Rabbit" - I can't describe this flavor except to say there is something dark about it - Maybe cappuccino or coffee or really dark tea but also a buttery blend with hazelnut overtones. It's very good.




Afterword: Taste is subjective. These are only my opinions. Have your pets spayed or neutered.

A Quiet Morning was a surprise winner for me from my sample pack. I generally like stronger flavors so some of them were too light for me. The other winners were Mystic Mandalime and Berry Little Cheesecake (from the "C-Room"). Waiting on my second order, giving Mind Toulouse a try, as I am a fan of absinthe!

I just ordered the 'a little bit of everything' based on reactions of people on here. Thanks for the review, they all sound lovely! And I really like the packaging too. Their website was careful to warn me it was 12-14 business day for it to ship, but I'm ok with that if the flavors are that good. I have some used motor oil and carcinogenic creme I have to get through in the meantime. LOL

All I have to say after trying ALL of their flavors in silica, genesis, and 510 Ciscos, Bandersnatch is by far my favorite. It is as mysterious to the taste buds as Pluid. By that, I do not mean it has ANY resemblance to Pluid, only that it is very complex. It has light banana "essence," and a lightly sweet butter/toffee/coffee/burnt brown sugar flavor that ends with a nice, pronounced smoky mouth feel. I cannot express how unique and satisfying this juice is. One day, our iPads will be equipped with an olfactory feature where I will just exhale I into the screen and the person on the other end can smell it. Like a Skype for fragrance. :matrix:

Damn, unless I am vaping completely wrong I have not had the same experience. I ordered a bunch if 18 ml bottles from aiv and the 3 I've tried have been very "meh" so far :( perhaps I have to give my juice more time but I have not had the same tasting experience with lemon <3's cake and 'twas brillig... I felt lemon loves cake was pretty lysol like to me and 'twas brillig had a strange medicine like taste to me.. Crunkberry however was pretty freakin fantastic! I have a bunch more to try yet, So far they are 2 weeks steeped

Intriguing. Your description sounds a lot like Boba's Bounty (to me) from AVE Juice, another boutique brand whos difficult to order from. Have you ever tried Boba's from AVE? You've definitely sold me on Bandersnatch, BB from AVE is my daily vape.

What's your vaping setup? Just curious.

And can anyone tell me how much their BIG ... sample pack costs? $$?

I want sample bottles of every flavor.
