Raf is randomly adding samples to orders. He's trying to get those folks that show interest but some will get over looked as we're only doing about 15 samples out a day. I'm loving the feed back on Raf-a-licious and looking forward to offering it as a new Tobacco-VG flavor!

Note: ETA on when to purchase is still up in the air. Need a bit more feed back before I go ahead with it.

i would just like to thank porphy. i had tried ave early on and later out of curiosity tried some of the worse juices ever. i guess i am spoiled because i bought some bobas within the second month of vaping. a year has passed many vendors later and the common denominator is ave juice... love em. they make me feel like i rock when they rock!

i received a sample of raf... LOVE it. need/want more of it. its a great robust slightly dirty taste with a punch at 24nic. now when i say robust. i don't mean like overpowering. i could easily vape it all day. honestly i think it's an automatic fav.

Ok after going through about 6ml over 2 days here are my final impressions:

Flavor:
Definitely R4Y tasting (for those that haven't tried RY4, it's sort of a caramel tobacco flavor). Also very subtle walnut type bitterness.

Flavor strength:
Along with Havana Gold, Raf is the strongest of AVE's tobacco flavors.

Throat hit:
to me Raf has more TH than any of the other AVE tobac flavors, but my sample was 12mg and usually I vape 6mg.

Performance:
About as viscous as Boba's. Massive amounts of vapor. Flavor stayed very consistent and didn't "turn" on me.

All-day vapability:
Had a hard time doin this one all day. It's pretty rich and heavy. I'd definitely load some up in the morning w/ coffee or at night after dinner. I'd also highly recommend this one to anyone fresh off the 'logs. While it doesn't taste like a cigarette (nothing does imho except maybe the sweat from a dog who rolled around in an ashtray) it's definitely really strong and satisfying.

Final verdict:
When Ben unleashes this beast I'll probably keep a constant supply of 30ml, but can't really see myself stockpiling it as I have with other AVE flavors, mainly due to the heavy flavor- although this is obviously the great thing about this juice, and what makes it distinctive. Don't change a thing. Total winner guys.

Oh should mention I tried it on:
3.5v-4.2v 18650 tube w/ DSE901 LR 1.7ohm
3.5v-4.2v 18650 tube w/ DSE901 SR 2.9ohm
3.7v cheapo plastic boxmod w/ mini MAP Tank w/ 2.4ohm CE2 R4
3.5v-4.2v 18650 tube w/ Torpedo Tank w/ 2.6ohm CE2 R5
REO Grand w/ DSE901 LR 1.7ohm

Got my sample yesterday. I tried dripping it in an HR 801 & filled a 3.0 Boge carto tank. I kind of prefer it in the tank. Either way, it's something I would definitely keep on hand. I agree it's kind of like a Boba's take on RY4. Kind of. It's what we've all come to love about AVE Juices. Great complex flavor, good th & tons of vapor. I wish I could try it after steeping for a while to see how the flavor changes, but there's no way it'll last that long.

Oh man, I'm in trouble! That sounds like my dream juice!
