Everyone needs a good stick-style battery. I did the same as you, a few months ago. 'cept I got a Vapor Zeus, XL cigar-a-like. I love it. Great flavor and vapor for a carto, those "Smileomizers" are pretty great. The battery outputs around 5V too, and lasts for frickin' ever.

So, recently, I decided that I needed to buy some "back to basics" hardware, and I ordered some XL stick batteries from V4L.

Yeah yeah, I know. What's a guy with a Hana, several eVics, and a couple bespoke custom dna-30 mods in the works need with THOSE kinds of devices? Well, I wanted some small, slim, light batteries for work, and for when I'm "dressed up" and don't want to walk around with a big 18650 device hanging around my neck on a lanyard.

I have the very same for those times when I want something a little different. I got the Zeus as a christmas gift and bought the smileomizers to go with. I really like it. :)

Is it kosher to ask what flavors are currently available but "off the menu"? I don't want to offend or break any of the rules, but it's been sooo long since I placed an AiV order directly from the website and I bet there's a bucketload of stuff that's come and "gone" that I would really dig!

So, a name, and brief description would be nice. Googling the threads I've come up with a few but I'm not sure what some of them are, just going by the names.

Thanks, and apologies if I'm being gauche.
:oops:

Thanks, I was hoping you meant "kidding" but "totally lessons" sounds like it could become part of one's vocabulary.
Not sure just what it would mean, but I like it.
Footprints in the Jello sounds interesting, and I bet AiV does a KILLER PB&J, but I'm kinda leery of the "coolness" (assuming a teensy-weensy bit of menthol) factor.
It sounds wonderfully unique but menthol is generally pretty off-putting to me so I may have to give it a pass.

Thanks for the start though! VERY much appreciated!

Menthol and mint are close but not the same.. Footprints is good a mint taste at the end. Winterstark more of a menthol at the end. With flavors I haven't tried I order 7ml bottles so I don't spend a lot. I haven't tried he said/she said yet but the others I've tried were great. Foursquare and Sweet tease are very yummy

Agreed on the mint vs menthol thing. I DO like a little mint in some things. Five Pawns Sixty-Four, for example.

If an AiV description says "a hint of mint" I trust them enough not to slap me in the tongue with menthol. :D

As a general rule for me AiV liquids lean toward the subtle side vs. in your face flavors. They all are complex for the most part. For me I have a hard time distinguishing whether it is mint or menthol other than I like the particular flavor. For example Frost Blossom I believe has mint but just enough to give off a frosty feeling and nothing overwhelming. Call Me Vanilla (in the C.Room) I believe has menthol to give the ice cream frostiness. Footprints in the Jello was one that I thought I would not like and find that I am really liking this. Whether it is mint or menthol at the end of Footprints in the Jello for me it doesn't matter because I like the way it taste. As Rider Dragon suggested, get the 7 ml bottles if you are not sure whether you will like the flavor or not. BTW I was never an analog menthol smoker so I really surprised myself in liking the subtleness of the mint and menthol used in these flavors.

Added: The coolness in Footprints in the Jello is because jello is normally served right out of the refrigerator.

Well said! I agree NotSoMini.

I really like the cheshire too. AiV is def worth the chance on new flavors. For 6 bucks to get 7ml is enough to try and also leave some to steep. I've spent more on other juices I've ended up tossing. I have vaped all but 11th rose and lavender I could only do a tank and realized I'm not a floral fan at all but all the others I've enjoyed enough and very happy with Alice she has given me the juice I needed to stay off the stinkys I only buy from AiV and one other vendor who all cover my taste needs :) Love AiV and vaping this community has been a great learning base and a contact with other vapers.

I don't like menthol cogs either. I like my cogs metallic so they last longer. :D

Me too Mr. Monkey! Unfortunately, I had those cheap nylon ones in my head, and they breaked.:( Now, everytime I have to think really hard, I end up in a corner somewhere drooling:blink:
