I just received a sampler pack from americaneliquid. I was running low on what has become my daily vape (50/50 mix of DKCamel/RathEBacco), so I placed an order a couple of days ago with these guys and just received the order today...
* Virginia Flu Cured
*
tobacco
* Blackberry Champagne
* Black Cherry
* Keoke Coffee
* Butter Run
All 12mg VG.
I must say that my initial reaction is somewhat disappointing
First off, upon opening the envelope, there was a strong odd chemical smell. At first I thought one of the bottles must have sprung a leak in there to account for the strength of the smell. Upon closer inspection, nothing had busted open. I really wasn't sure what was responsible for that smell, but it's not at all enticing.
Edit: First impressions are not always the best thing to go on. I was really thrown off by the odd scents coming out of the envelope. After actually vaping some of these juices, I now understand that those scents were some of the more volatile spirits in the flavorings (perhaps some of the essential oils mentioned in their FAQs) in these juices permeating the dropper bottles and circulating in the envelope.
The liquids do indeed have lots of tasty flavor.
Then upon examining the dropper bottles, I notice that all but one of them contains INCREDIBLY thick liquid. I mean really thick, like syrup. Its hard to imagine how this stuff will wick. All but the Butter Rum are super thick like that.
Then I opened them to smell them. Definite volatile chemical scents to all of them (so I guess that is what was responsible for the smell in the envelope). There are flavor scents underneath those chemical wiffs, but the cherry smells like a neon cough syrup? The best smelling one is the Butter Rum.
The flavor I was most interested in trying was the Flu Cured, I haven't tried a Flu Cured flavor yet, and I've heard so much about it that I was hoping to find a replacement for my daily vape in that bottle of Flu Cured. But really, I can't even identify it as a tobacco flavor at all. I'm not sure what the flavor in that bottle is trying to be like, but I definitely can't use it as a daily vape. The liquid is so thick that the draw is super hard too.
Honestly, I'm somewhat wary to try these liquids in any appreciable amount. The chemical wiffs really spook me? I'm not vaping them now for example, I'm sticking with my rapidly diminishing 50/50 Ebacco/Camel blend at the moment.
My experience with liquids is VERY limited. The only other liquids I have tried are...
* Rath Ebacco and Lemonade (VG)
* Dekang Camel, Orange, Pepsi, Cappuccino (PG and PG-free? (but not VG))
* The Marlb mix that comes in pre-filled carts
These americaneliquids are very unlike the others that I've tried, and not in a good way really. The Rath liquids are great, really nice subtle flavors in a good VG base. The DK flavors are OK, but not great. I'm not sure what to make of these new juices.
Has anyone else ordered from this place, what was your experience like, anything like mine, is this just how juices are and when i do vape them they'll actually be OK?
Also, any recommendations for where to get a decent Flu Cured juice that really is representative of the Flu Cured flavor that people seem to like so much? I'm gonna run out of my staple in the next day or two, so I gotta do something real soon now.
I guess next time I take a chance, I'll take a chance on more of a known quantity by way of favorable reviews... the likes of...
