have any of you tried the Nautilus tank yet? I got one on a coop a couple months ago and have to say that I was not impressed. Then.......... I picked it up again when my i30 thingy went kablooee and I have to say...... this thing just rocks!

not sure why I did not like it at first. hmmmmm

Never tried one yet ((((Morri)))). I have a friend who has one and just doesn't like it. I personally like the mini type tanks as I switch vapes so much. My favorite USED to be the Kanger mini-pro, but now I REALLY like the new Aspire BDC pyrex mini-vivi novas! They really rock for vapor and flavor, plus they're about $5 cheaper than the Kangers and come with 3 replacement coils!:toast:

I gave up tanks completely. I just switch flavors too darn much for even a mini tank. I'm all drippers now. The closest I come to a tank is the little 3ml bottle on my Reo Mini, and even that I only fill about 1.5ml at a time. Can't beat the flavor when dripping!

Long time, no see, folks...

I recently received some new flavors from AiV, and wanted to report on my impressions.

Of course my most recent order had a 60ml bottle of Twas Brillig--I vape that stuff like they're going to quit making it... ;-)

And a big bottle of April Moon is also yummy, and in my mods daily.

But I also got some other flavors.

First off is Forgotten Memories. I like this one--subtle, tangy-sweet, and lightly grape flavored. Almost TOO lightly, for my taste. It's like it's teasing me with this hint of Concord Grape goodness, but there's not quite enough in there to wrap my taste-buds around. My only suggestion would be if those wizards at AiV could somehow wave their magic wands and kick up the grape flavor a few percent. I just would like this one to be a little more "grapey"...

Next was Mang-ri-la. MAN, I love this stuff. The taste is subtle, sweet, complex, and clean. What a delight! Funny thing is, I can only vape it for like 2 or 3 days, and then my tongue just can't pick up the wonderful depth of it's flavor anymore. If I set it aside for a few days and then come back to it, THERE IT IS, in all it's delicious glory. A mystery indeed. I assume this is because the flavorings are of a rather high percentage in this juice, and after a few days of vaping it, I just get "flavor overload", and need to re-set the old tastebuds. Not complaining--just making an observation.

Next up--Bombana. Now this was a surprise. I usually don't care for banana vapes--most of them taste like chemically attempts at a vape version of Banana Taffy--which is NOT a compliment. But this one--in typical AiV style--rises FAR above the crowd. The banana taste is clean, clear, and ripe--not like a fresh banana off the bunch, but not as dark as the bananas you'd use to make banana bread with either--somewhere in between. Like a good home-made banana ice cream almost. I've only dripped this one in my IGO W-5 a little, but so far I REALLY like it. Not an ADV for me--the flavor is a little too rich for vaping all day--but it's a nice change of pace in the evening.

And I still have bottles of Foursquare and Cherry Blossom to try--hard to believe I've been vaping AiV juice for almost 2 years and I've never tried those two flavors yet. I'll get to them Friday, perhaps--I have the day off from work...

So, I just wanted to drop in, and let y'all know that Maryland's biggest AiV "fanboy" is still alive and vapin'...

And I want to thank AiV for continuing to make some of the best e-liquid on the market. You guys have a special kind of juice alchemical magic going on, and it's REALLY appreciated by your customers.

And the personalized notes and GREAT packaging are always an added treat--thanks for ALWAYS going the extra mile with our orders! Every box of AiV vape-mail is like New Years Eve, Christmas, and Birthday all rolled into one!

I should be receiving an Aspire Nautilus tomorrow (Thursday) in my VapeMail. I bought it specifically to use with a Mythical Fabrications e-pipe I ordered last week. I'll be sure to post a review after I've had a chance to vape it on several different mods...

As far as current gear, I've made some MAJOR upgrades in the last few months. I still am using an AMP Tank with a Terminator TT RDA on my eVic as my ADV. But I got a SECOND AMP Tank, and am also running it with TT's, but on an iTaste VV (rev.3) and that is a surprisingly good combination. The main difference is that the iTaste only adjusts in 0.5 watt increments (the eVic will do 0.1 watt adjustments), and the battery life on the iTaste is about 1/4 what the eVid has with an Panasonic 3400mAh 18650...

And I got a REAL Hana Mini last week, and a Kayfun Lite+ about three weeks ago. Those two make a GREAT combination. The only problem with that combo is that with the 1.2ohm micro coil Chimney build on cotton that I'm using, it's pretty useless for AiV juices--at the higher power levels (10-14 watts) the flavors just either wash out or taste burnt. I am feeding that setup some of the stronger flavors I have from other vendors, and some of my own DIY. Currently, it's sporting some of my own Cinnamon Bunz, and is yummerific at about 14.1 watts.

And I just picked up a Killer 705 and a Diver on teh ECF classies, so I'm looking forward to trying them out in the AMP tanks--those should take my vaping to an even higher level of "yum"... ;-)

I love my Russian 91% and some of my Kayfun clones. These things are so versatile, and since I'm making my own coils, I save money on replacement heads. But, I do love the Aspire Nova lines, and the heads are very good, and last anywhere between one to two weeks, depending on the juice. The one juice that kills my coils on a regular basis is FFF. I can't seem to find a setup that will not kill the coil after a 5ml tank of juice. But, I haven't tried it on a genesis type with either ss mesh or ceramic yet, so I'm going to try that next. I love FFF, but I seem to always be changing coils after a tank, and it's the only juice that does that.

Maybe I'll do that right now.

And for the past year, I've only been ordering AiV. I've gotten free juice once in a while when I order hardware, but those just seem to sit around and not get used. One day, I'll probably just dump out those and clear the way for more AiV. I love AiV. I love AiV... :banana: :banana:

I got my package from Alice today! Tried three of the juices and I am very happy with all three...Ginger by the Sea, Mystic Mandelime and Zombie Apocolypse.....I'll go into detail later. The nice little charms on all 6 bottles are cool...the personalized card is sweet...and I got my first Alice card! I also got 4 samplers. I am impressed so far. Thanks Alice in Vapeland people!

Edit: I am trying everything on RDAs..........very nice!

So...I tried three more.....A Quiet Morning , Mangri-la and Bandersnatch....I enjoyed all of them! I still have four samplers to try. At any rate...I have got to say...after trying 100+ juices and flavors, A Quiet Morning has got to be my absolute favorite. Even though I heard it might be too light, I have found it to be flavorful. Like a higher quality, very fresh green tea with a crisp, mango/passionfruitish note on the exhale. This particular juice is incredible to me.Thumbs up to AIV, seriously. I will be a regular customer, for sure.

I've just read your reviews. Very nice...we do have different tastes and how we vape is different but all in all we do agree on one major thing, Alice in Vapeland makes an excellent juice. Funny..I found out about them by someone who was complaining about the portal only being open one day. Some research later I realized these folks really love what they do and treat their customers like guests in their private tea party. I am very happy to have found them.
