Alice in Vapeland

[awoodby]

Did you try them again after a couple of weeks? I've heard many rave about a quiet morning and frost blossom. Personally I'm not looking forward to frost blossom (menthol) but haven't tried it yet, and aqm was rather flavorless while new/while I have this cold, so I'm hoping to taste them next week.

Hmmm, a cold may be perfect for frost blossom/menthol... will have to try that out.

They definitely change after a week or so. I didn't like Frost Blossom or White Rabbit when I first tried them. I thought they were awful. There was something about both of them though that made me try them again in a couple of weeks. Now they are two of my favorites! Bandersnatch is another sleeper/steeper for me. OMG it is out of this world (to me!) after a nice steep.

Frost blossom was placed in my "not for me" pile after first try...but when I revisited I LOVED it.... and I found for me the bit of "coolness" (not really menthol or mint) helps when I have a migraine...so a bonus YMMV

Come on, all of their juices are good? Can someone point me to a good tobacco flavor there???

Seriously yeah, I think their juice is that good. There's only one flavor I don't like and I've tried nearly all of them. The "Orange Makes Me Dreamsicle" is unvapable to me (personally it reminds me of baby aspirin), but I can't say it isn't good juice. A lot of people adore it.

Not every juice has been a re-order for me,(just not really my thing) but I at least enjoyed the samples.

Aiv doesn't really specialize in tobacco flavors, but they do have a couple.
15 Foot Falls has a tobacco note but I wouldn't call it a tobacco vape. It is KILLER though. Toasty and not too sweet. One of my top juices from them.

I have their other tobacco, Pearship (in the oddity room), arriving soon ( probably tomorrow). Not sure what to expect, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[awoodby]

I'm not aware of a tobacco juice from AiV. I originally went tobacco-mad when starting vaping what, 2 weeks ago, but haven't done a tobacco in a week. Once it's disconnected from the nicotine delivery system, other flavors taste way better.

This is coming from someone with probably 80 different pipe tobaccos in jars behind me, 50 cigars, 20 snuffs (nasal, not spit type), as well as cigarettes. Lets just say I was really into my tobacco lol.

Halo - Longhorn and Highbrow Vapor - Perique were 2 tobacco flavored ones I liked at first.

 

[KjAthena]

Yes Alice has 2 Juices containing NET tobacco !5 foot Falls that is super yummy and Pear Ship that I understand is a stronger tobacco flavor...however I have not tried it. Pear Ship is in the Oddities room....15 Foot Falls is in the regular line. I did not expect to like 15 Foot Falls but bought the c-room size before it was moved and found I LOVE it

 

[throwback8]

After my sample pack I will definitely be ordering bigger bottles of Zombie Apocalypse, Crunkberry and 'Twas Brillig. Dripping them is a pleasure.

Really? 15 foot falls has NET? Cool, did not know that.

Does anyone elses bottle of Fifteen Foot Falls have particulate in the juice?
I havent noticed an off taste, but there is definitely little particles in the juice. Idk if thats supposed to be or not. Not so much worried as more curious, but if no one else has that I may make an inquiry to the good folks at AiV.

Anyone?

I just checked mine and maybe? I thought they were tiny, tiny bubbles at first but then compared to to my other Aiv juices and they don't seem to have them. I wonder if this has something to do with the NET?

 

[KjAthena]

yep mine as a few particulates too...so does the other brand of NET containing juice I have from another company....so I think its a net thing...never paid attention before. I have also noticed that my NET juices do seem to need a bit more coil care...not a biggie for me, but noticeable

Yes...they I've had them over two months and tried them at 3 weeks and again at 5 weeks. There's something wrong with them. They taste like paper or something weird. Barely any noticeable flavor and leave an odd lingering taste minutes after. I'm guessing something went wrong, as I loved the 3 samples they sent me of other stuff.

I finally tanked up Twas Brillig after over a month of steeping. Wow. I finally finished a Mini Protank 2 v2 filled with Orange Makes Me Creamcicle (which was quite nice), and rebuilt a new atomizer head. Since I think that the AiV stuff is very delicate, instead of building a typical coil for me (1.3-1.7 Ohms), I went with a 3.4 Ohm micro-coil and am vaping it at 6 volts with sterilized cotton. Man...this is nice. It's so smooth and flavorful. Don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed dripping it in a Trident at higher watts, but this build just works for the juice.

Now that I've had it steeped for this long, I know that I'm gonna have to buy another 30ml bottle (or two!) to vape during the cold winter months.

The thing about AiV is finding the right "spot" to vape on your gear. I am a bonefide "Lemon Loves Cake" fiend. I have samples from "A Little Bit of Everything" that I haven't even tried yet because I've been enjoying the heck out of "LLC" and "Zombie Apocalypse". Put my 3rd order in this past Tuesday. Uh, 60ml bottles
So, that being said, I think these are the things to consider when you're vaping AiV juice (or any juice):
1. How long you've been analog free (I've been since the first part of January '13 and my "buds" are still tweaking!)
2. Your delivery device (ohms, volts, watts, BC, TC, etc, etc.)
3. When your main juice that goes "Pow" becomes too much and you're looking for something that has hidden tastes that sneak up on you, AiV is a great option.
4. To steep or not to steep. I can vape this right out of the box, but letting it sit for a week or 2...is it our "buds" still re-grouping to their former self? If I take a bottle that's been sitting there for a week or 3, the flavor is even more mysterious.
5. READ THE REVIEWS! "Cherry Blossom" is not cherry tasting, it's more of walking through a cherry orchard when the blossoms are in bloom, a totally different taste. Names can be deceiving and your mind will be thinking one particular "taste" and your mouth will be registering something entirely different. (I found early on that reviews for any vendor help incredibly!)

I want to enjoy what I vape, AiV hits the spot for me, and saving $ is not an issue with juices at this point. Have many, many samples from other vendors that I tried and, although some have been pretty good, nothing that hit me as an ADV.
JMO.

Of course not - it depends on the person. But this is a thread devoted to AiV and the majority of posters are going to be AiV fans. That's to be expected.

Personally, AiV does nothing for me. Tried six of their most popular flavors and...meh. And that's ok. Other people taste things differently and that's ok too.

But that is why I would always advise getting samples first. It's easy to be swayed by reading review after review raving about a particular flavor but that doesn't mean *you* will like it. (That's true for all vendors/juices, not just AiV.)

Edited to add: the delivery system you use can make a big difference too. I use top-coil clearos (vivi novas/CE+) and I'm not about to change that to accommodate different juices. You could drive yourself crazy trying to keep up with this juice tastes best in a cartotank with three holes in the carto vs. this one tastes best at this voltage/ohm combination on a bcc , etc. etc. Save yourself a lot of headaches by finding juices that taste good on your system.

Does anyone elses bottle of Fifteen Foot Falls have particulate in the juice?

I have the little tiny size from the sampler pack and it does not have floaties at all. But I did vape half of it already. Yum!

 

[evilt34cher]

Well yesterday I got my sampler from AiV and so far I've just tasted Mandalime something and I must say it is a good strange combo but 15 foot is just sitting here next to me waiting for my Vapure juice to run out so I can give it a shot...I'll post my review later

 

[kbreeze]

Gon try some samples after they open up Lol.. Need to find some ADV

 

[Altaire Versailles]

Yes, they are all that. They've slowly become the only company I buy from now after trying countless different companies. Not against other companies, but everytime I reup I just started to always want to try another AiV flavor as oppsoed to trying another company. Been satisfied with everything Ive bought from them. Havent had a bad flavor yet. Some I wouldnt buy again, none that were unvapeable. And alot of my ADV's come from there. Got some Ginger by the sea, lucky no. 11, Lavender ever after and A quiet morning in the mail right now...only thing I dont like about them is it takes 2 weeks to get here :/
