Alice in Vapeland

[shelley cerata]

Dunkel - I agree on the Punkin. One of the only flat-out losers for me.

Amolson - Sorry for pointing that out to you! Cheshire Catnip is FANTASTIC. If you like herbally stuff you will love it. Also try lavender ever after, and maybe also afternoon tea, although that one was too astringent for me. I hear you on the liking unusual flavors - I totally want a tomato basil that taste like a fresh caprese salad, not sweet like the soup.

Does the Cheshire Catnip contain real catnip, this is, will my cats get nipped if I vape it?

I got Zombie Apocalypse, Twas Brillig, Crunkberry, and Berry Lil Cheesecake. All max VG with extra flavor. Zombie was good to start off with but I soon learned while dripping them that they all had a very similar bakery base that made it hard to tell them apart. The flavors were too similar and subtle for me.

Hmmm, I have no idea! My dog isn't interested in it but no cats. No one on the review section mentioned it - maybe go ask Alice*?

Oh, I am so in trouble. I was looking at the lavender, especially since VV doesn't have one. Was just wondering about the 'creamy' bit, since that's not something I care for much at all usually. And as you can't get those in samples ... Possibly on another order. At least with their portal system, I'm not tempted more than once a week.

Oh, yeah, a caprese salad. that would be wonderful. True tomato and basil, yum. For that much matter, a really good lemon basil vape would be mind blowing.

Herbal, peppery, smokey, peaty, nutty, all those earthy tastes and flavors. They also seem to be some of the hardest flavors to get into a vape, unfortunately. Probably because it seems many of the manufacturers use standardized commercial flavors, which are made for the mass market.

And there's just not a lot of call for flavors like leather and wood smoke and grass.

I'll let you know after trying it. I'm guessing it probably does. Catmint, another name for catnip, is quite edible, like all of the mint family. Don't know why they wouldn't use it.

I used to love watching one of my Aunt's cats, a truly evil beast, get very, very stoned rolling around in her catnip patch. Good thing its a mint or those plants would have been dead. He'd then stagger into the house with his pupils dilated to get some munchies and sleep it off. Little druggie.

Fortunately, the alkaloids that get cats high don't seem to have any effect on humans. Not that you can ban a mint. Its a weed and nearly impossible to eradicate once it gets settled in. The other way around, however, well, most drugs that get humans high will also get cats high. Some of them get downright insistent around people Smoking, or at least so I've heard. Friend of a friend, you know.

White Rabbit is one flavor I will always have in an atty at all times. I always have a 60ml bottle on hand and one in waiting, steeping.

I also liked 'Twas Brillig, Punkin Tumble, Cupcake City and Ginger by the Sea.

 

[Ladiekali]

I dont even touch them for four weeks, and i found the flavor much stronger at 12 mg.

After 4 weeks 15ft falls tastes like toasted marshmallows.

My fave is white rabbit, i think its a white chocolate and tea flavor. Maybe?
And twas brillig i love.
And zombie is good.

I had the same problem. I had Afternoon Tea and Zombie Apocalypse and they tasted pretty much the same. Both had this odd overwhelming flavor to them. Even after 2 months of steeping, no change. Gave them both to a friend.

I got Twas Brilling and Black and White cookie. I really like them both. I got them from the classifieds when I bought an Evic. I really think they are good.

I've been an AiV fan since I first started vaping in 2012. In fact "White Rabbit" was my first venture into "premium e-liquids", and I've been hooked on AiV ever since!

As for your choices, here are my opinions, but taste is VERY subjective, so you may find them to be completely different...

1.) Frost Blossom--I'm not a fan of menthol or mint vapes, but as they go, this one is pretty good. Smooth and cool, without the "smacked in the face with a bag of frozen mint leaves" sensation like some menthol vapes...

2.) Twas Brillig--my ADV. I go through this stuff like nobody's business. I LOVE this stuff. Fruity without being candy-like. Sweet without being cloying. And a hint of bakery flavor without tasting like stale bread. Blackberry Crumble in a vape--Yummmmmmm....

3.) Fifteen Foot Falls--an interesting flavor. One of the few AiV flavors that I find too sweet and I have a MASSIVE sweet-tooth. It's good for what it is, and if you like marshmallow and coconut flavors, this one will hit the spot!

4.) April Moon--Interesting. Hard to describe. Exotic fruits, and a dark richness that I can't quite nail down, but the juice itself is rather light-flavored. I go through this pretty fast too, but it's not an ADV for me--more like a "weekend treat" vape.

5.) Mang-Ri-la--a new flavor, and a close second for me as far as my all-time favorite AiV juice. The mango flavor is spot-on, and it's sweet and complex and rich without being overpowering.

You'll hear a lot of people saying they don't like AiV because their flavors are "too subtle" or that they "don't have any flavor if you vape them at high watts". And I suppose, this is somewhat true. It has been my experience that most AiV jucies ARE complex, and filled with subtle layers of flavor, and require you to actually WORK at figuring them out, if you are the kind of person who wants to be able to describe the flavors.

And form my experience, they work best in attys or other devices that are in the 1.2-2.0ohm range, and at relatively low power--from 6.5-9.0 watts. Anything above about 10 watts, and in my experience the flavors do seem to just sort of burn off. I think this is because they use very complex recipes to make their flavors, and the simple fact is that when you have 8 or 10 ingredients in a juice, no one flavor is going to be much more than about 5%, so at higher power, many of these subtle, light flavors--in small percentages--just won't hold up to the heat.

For me, this is not a problem. I am a low-watt vaper. I rarely feel teh need to go above 9 watts, and generally vape at between 7 and 8 watts. I don't do sub-ohm builds, and I use regulated devices almost exclusively. I've found my "happy spot" and I have no need to prove anything to anyone by blowing huge clouds or risking facial disfigurement with impossibly low resistance builds... ;-)

Just give me rich, complex, yummy flavor, and high VG in the mix for respectable vapor, and I'm a happy camper.

So anyway, that's my opinion on AiV. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy their juice!

I just ordered from them last night, took advantage of the deal on "A quiet Morning", I love good tea liquids, and green teas done right are a favorite.
