I'm only two days into my wait for delivery but all of you are making me so impatient! Got new tanks for all my AiV oils so they won't mix with anything unknowingly. Yeah, I'm a gonner...:p

Just today, I accidentally topped off a tank that contained Afternoon Tea with Zombie Apocalypse. Strawberry tea is delicious...

They came yesterday and I steeped about 20 hours before I couldn't stand the wait any longer :D

So far I like them all except White Rabbit and that I blame on testing too many at once combined with my impatience in steeping. I have 4 I am ordering tonight and let me tell you the ones I leaned towards from first vape were surprises.

I'm getting the following: (tonight...oh yes, cart already loaded and waiting!)

Twas Brillig: The berry comes right to the front but there is more to this liquid that I can see a proper steeping will bring out. Though my little tester won't last that long LOL

Bandersnatch: Whoa nelly THIS was a surprise! I got it because I needed one more for the set and I love the name but I hate banana, so much to my surprise this was an instant hit. Even if the banana comes out more I will still love it as it is so beautifully blended!

Pum'kin Tumble: Another surprise! I tried it as fall is coming and thought it might be fun and I just vaped the heck out of it. Pumpkin always goes to butter to me but with the cake it is a soft buttery cake, not too sweet and so very comforting.

Afternoon Tea: So comforting but somehow clean and clear. Not a heavy tea but one you would love after a long day with more things left to do.

If I had more money to spend on e-liquids I would get:

Cherry Blossom: This almost made the cut but I had to limit myself and this one had to wait for another order, beautiful sweet cherry floral. It really is something wonderful!

A Quiet Morning: Same as above, had to make cuts and this was one I grudgingly didn't get. I could see this as a perfect morning vape. So subtle and beautiful.

There are more but nothing stands out and my testers are far from my computer and I can't remember them.

So yes, I've fallen down the rabbit hole and even ate the tea cake... @.@

Thanks for the update! : )

Man, I totally understand about having to limit yourself. I wanted to order a bottle of every sample I had, but just couldn't do it all at once.

I'm glad you love them. : ) I'm not surprised that you loved the teas a lot.

I put in my order before I had tried all my samples. Otherwise my order may have looked slightly different. (Maybe Sweet Tease instead of Cherry Blossom....but I do love CB a really lot. It would have been a difficult choice.) Oh, and I've tried a well steeped sample of Twas Brillig and a brand new bottle. The taste does develop amazingly with time. Like you I got mainly blackberry in the new bottle, but my sample was a scrumptious blend of blackberry and warm crumble. Absolutely marvelous but subtle enough to vape all day. So yes, give it some time. It's definitely in my top three favs. :)

I did not care for Bandersnatch at all. I even loaded it up a second time to see if I had just been imagining things the first time. I so wanted to like it, but I didn't taste much of anything at all. It's the only flavor I've tried from AiV that I just couldn't seem to love.

I'm waiting on an order of samples from the C Room that I cannot wait to get my mits on. I got Ginger by the Sea, April Moon, Foursquare and Chesire Catnip. (CC just sounded too intriguing not to try.)

(Oh, and Lemon Loves Cake has moved in to my number one spot. Oh my goodness, it's so good. I've already vaped a third of the bottle and have to force myself to vape other things so I don't use it all before I can get more....)

Anyway, I didn't really intend to go into all that, but I can't seem to stop talking about this juice. :laugh:

I actually just really meant to welcome you to the awesomeness that is AiV. :)

White Rabbit is .... strange. When I first tried it, I didn't like it. At all. Yet strangely, I kept going back to it. Once I finished the sample, I was never going to order it. Then I kept thinking about it, lol. Guess what ... I ordered a bottle. Someone wise in the AiV vendor thread once told me that "you don't pick White Rabbit, it either picks you or it doesn't". Truer words were never spoken. I couldn't be without it now.

Hey Lady! I can only speak for Ginger by the Sea and April Moon....FANTASTIC!!!!! Ginger has a beautiful light ginger taste with undertones that I can't identify, but vaping it makes you smile....
April Moon.....WOW! Sweet Blueberries, Light taste of Apricot...and something else...creamy? Really Really nice.....good choices!!!:toast:

I keep doing the same. I am trying to ignore it so it steeps a bit and I hope it does grab me. There is something just something....

Yay! I'm so glad to hear a positive review of those. I LOVE ginger. I always use fresh ginger in my cooking and I swear, I'd like to keep some on hand to rub on my wrists and behind my ears for perfume. Love it. So I have very high hopes for that one. I am fairly certain that I'll be ordering a big bottle next Tuesday. And April Moon just sounded too yummy to pass up. I can't wait to get them. They haven't even shipped yet, though. :cry: (I guess the c room stuff takes a bit longer to process? I ordered them last Tuesday.)

^^^ +1 on this. White Rabbit is an extremely complex juice who's flavors can get lost in a top coil carto, so if possible, once it's got a good 4 week steep on it, let your first experience of the mystical Rabbit be through a dripper or dripping atty if possible, or at least a bottom coil clearo like the EVOD or Protank. The flavor will come out and you'll be rewarded with a nice coconut cake with toasted almond slivers on top. Nom nom!!

I ordered AIV samples on Tuesday night and they shipped on Friday!! I heard that shipping takes forever so I am pleasantly surprised. Does that mean that the samples were pre-made and don't need the mysterious "steeping" that everyone talks about?

I was just at their site and it says closed....

Yes...They do that to keep the Orders Down...only so Many page hits and they shut down to Fill the Orders...These juices are Very well Made and packaged to be Special...

Unfortunately I was looking to place a order, but with quite a few organic e juice stores I purchased elsewhere.

They open up every Tuesday night and stay open until they reach their capacity for the week (usually sometime Wednesday afternoon) They're open now, so order away!!

No offense but that's not how I do business. Alice in Vapor Land reminds me of Alice in wonderland.
