Alice in vapeland totally disaponted

[StereoDreamer]

Before I do that....are you sure your vaping device is working OK. If ALL your juice tastes bad, it may not be the juice.....

I didn't even think of this. You may be on to something. Perhaps her atty is malfunctioning, or her settings are too high or too low if she's using a VV/VW device.

It is nearly impossible to understand someone's juice evaluation if they don't tell you what gear they are using. I ALWAYS give a full accounting of my vape-gear when I do juice reviews, so people can at least understand where I'm coming from, and work out from some sort of objective baseline...

Oh, and as far as I know, HFCS is only in flavored milk...and being phased out by a lot of schools anyway. Got a link to the "new law"?

Sorry: but I'm curious.

I'm disappointed that Mt Baker keeps getting hacked.

I found certain general flavors I like: vanillas, coffees and bananas. As I read recommendations I might order a little. Since I'll dump say a..new banana on top of a tank with vanilla I don't really know if it tastes bad since it all mixes to together. I'll also prime a cart with maybe expresso and fill the tank with vanilla and then refills might be banana or even a different vanilla hence, I'm never sure what i'm puffin away on.

I haven't found a bad vanilla, coffee or banana yet.

Yep, my guesstimate would be I've liked maybe 15-20% of the gallons of juice I've tried.

So very true. Sadly, so true watching my money go down the drain.

Hey guys, I ordered cupcake city, b/w cookie, zombie apocalypse and white rabbit from Alice in Vapeland, all 70/30 24 mic and totally hated all the flavors...I read everywhere they are great juices.... does anyone else NOT like them?

After reading all the hype, I finally ordered pretty much the same stuff as you. I found it 'meh' OK. I understand people really like it and the attention to detail on the order was first rate but you cant vape the fancy packaging. I also tried HHV because of all the positive feedback. Ended up getting large bottles of heavenly tobacco and dragons fire. So bottom line is, get samples when available and you cannot always count on having the same taste as others.

You are right--I got mixed up. It's NOT HFCS they want to put in milk without labeling.

It's aspartame...

FDA to Allow Unlabeled Use of Aspartame in Dairy Products

 

[AttyPops]

You (or the server) got the title wrong BTW....

it's "Big Dairy Petitions FDA to Allow Unlabeled Use of Aspartame in Dairy Products"

The FDA hasn't said yes or no to it. Sorry, but I don't want to pick on the FDA until they actually mess up. This is an example of Big Business messing up. We'll see if the FDA messes up......(To be continued).

But WOW! Thanks for the info. I can't believe they are doing this.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

Did the OP even show back up?

 

[WalkinRuin]

Cripes, how did I end up in this thread? I thought I was posting to a vanilla thread, I give up...computers!

 

[KerryK]

So very true. Sadly, so true watching my money go down the drain.

2nd that emotion....

Although I tend to prefer tobacco flavored juice...I really like AIV's offerings. Typically not first thing in the morning with coffee, but later on in the day or at bedtime.

Combined with certain things....like vape Zombie Apocalypse (strawberry) while eating a frosted strawberry Pop Tart....mmmmmmm....or Twas Brillig (blackberry crumble) with blueberry Pop Tarts....(okay, so I have a thing for Pop Tarts)



White Rabbit has a distinct coconut flavor....it also smells really good and gets alot of attention in groups.

 

[fairythere]

I got the sample pack of all the flavors and have only tasted 7 so far and only 1 impressed me as a great flavor, I'll try them all again in a few weeks before I trade them for something else just in case I misjudged. I do hope I find more than just the one I like though.

 

[depichu]

They are generally a lot more subtle than the flavors I normally vape. I have winners with Mystic Mandalime and Cherry Blossom, great chain vapes for when Im at the desk and just need to relax. They are my sub 12 mg vapes for sure

Sorry to hear you don't like em, man.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

I find that AiV juices are hard to appreciate, because they are so subtle.

Having said that, maybe i should try them again... Last time i ordered way past my nicotine preference and couldnt vape it anyway.

 

[AttyPops]

Still no OP? Not sending any PM suggestions then.

Look... Just try another vendor for those flavors and nic/PG/VG ratios. Not all vendors are to your liking nor is every juice that a vendor sells necessarily their best. So 99 % of the other flavors they sell may be top notch for your tastes. Maybe you found the 1% that aren't. Who know.

Unless we know your setup, and if you like other juices using that setup, we can't say much.

 

[pfaber11]

just keep them for a rainy day. backup juice.

 

[look30]

For my tastes I have found highly recommended flavors usually don't live up to the hype.

Same here , bought the Hooligan Vapes RY4 and tastes like smoked cheddar going sour ... I can't even think about it now never mind vaping the 30 ml bottle sitting in my juice box.

 

[TutsiGarcia]

AiV juices are pretty tailored to the American palate. They are sweet, fruity, and have a lot of bakery/malty undertones. I can see why someone who is not accustomed to living in a place where they put sugar in EVERYTHING might not like them.

(they put High Fructose Corn Syrup in most BREAD here in the US, and now the Department of Agriculture is trying to pass a law to allow milk producers to put it in MILK and still call it milk...



Everyone has different tastes, and taste preferences are not just individual--they are regional, national, cultural and even genetic.

So don't worry if you don't like AiV juices. Some folks do, some folks don't, Just like some folks are crazy for Pluid, and some would rather vape the juice from an old pair of boots than Pluid... ;-)

Someone will want that juice--you shouldn't have much trouble passing it on to someone, either in person down there in Mexico, or through the Classifieds here. I can't see a problem sending it to the USA from Mexico through the mail--just package it with lots of padding in a sturdy box, and tape the lids on the bottles with electrical tape so they don't leak...

Thanks for your imput, actually you might be right....the problem is the cheapest shipping from Mexico to US is $65 us dlls, guess thats another perk of living in a 3rd world country =(

That's good to hear because I was thinking about getting some juice from them now I think I'll only try 1 or 2 instead of all of the flavors

If you prefer fruity, flavorful dessert style juices over traditional tobacco flavors, I'd say you have a 95% chance of loving what they have to offer. Everyone's tastes are different of course.....but the great majority of folks love their juices.
