I really like Ahlusion as well. I switched to mainly NT after A+ pulled the aromatic line and I got a few false charges on a CC I used to order with them.
My main order is still their H1N1, which I really like and think folks should at least try to see if it hits for them.

NT does not have anything close to the tea line from A+. Only real beverage they offer now is called Wakonda, which is pretty close to black coffee. I'm not a fan, but there are some that really like it.

I have not tried their fruits with the exception of their strawnilla, which may not fit for you if you didn't like frenilla. I am a big stawnilla fan.
I think A+ Lemon Vanilla Cake is still the tops in desert over NT Ras Cup and Got Cookie by a hair, though the cookie is a good chocolate vape.

The tobacco that NT is releasing next Tuesday is supposed to be very good, going to pick some up.

I'll flip the question to you. I'd like to put in a decent A+ order before they close to non-gold members. Can you give me your favorite tea(s) and any other flavors that you'd suggest? Does SC still have a different formulation? I use the wild woods for my tobaccos.

That is another good one Radioactive, I have not had it fresh but was lucky enough to have some steeped gifted to me. It is a very tobacco forward vape and I enjoy it a lot as well. Planning on a big order on Tuesday, Radio and a few bottles of The Virus.

Hmmmmm, Lemon Vanilla Cake over Raz Cup?
I haven't tried that one...is it more flavorful then their...I think it's just strawberry cake--I thought it was good, but too light in flavor.

Radioactive (next Tuesday release) is one of my top 2 or 3 flavors ever.

Favorite teas: Caramel Pear Black Tea (& White Tea), Coconut Boba Tea (it was so-so until I dug it out after a 5 month steep and now I love it), Raspberry White Tea, Chai Latte
Dessert: Lemon Vanilla Cake, Peppermint Bark, Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Surrender, Caramel Apple
Cocktail: Fijian Nights
Fruit: all of the cremes, Autumn Mist
Tobacco: Caramel WW, Maple WW (have yet to try the others)

I have not tried some of their newer flavors yet. I'm not sure what is going on with SC (I tried it about 4 months ago and did not care for it). The only tobacco vapes I have tried (besides SC) are the Wild Woods.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of any of the fruits on the site currently.
But a lot of people LOVE them.

Strawnilla - genuine strawberry plus Frenilla
Betelgeuse - berries
Gravity- peach and other fruit

Have you tried the Virus or ACB? Don't be scared of the tobacco if you're not normally a tobacco fan.
While it's there, they're not ones I recommend to people looking for tobacco vapes. They're both sweet, ACB with Carmel, Virus more maple vanilla and spice.
I have not seen anyone not fall in love with ACB.

If you like cranberry/lychee -- holler and I'll show you a secret. ;)

What is ACB? I love cranberry, have never tried lychee (what does it taste like?), yes show me a secret!

Looks like it time to give Nicoticket a try again!

ACB=Absolute Creme Brulee, Close to the caramel wild wood with a hint of vanilla. Very good, but deep steep needed.
The cran/lynchee they are talking about is Hummingbird, which is currently not on the site, but I'm sure is on classifieds/trading.

ACB is Absolute Creme Brulee, Creme Brulee with extra caramel and tobacco absolute. I will say this I am not a fan of the dessert vapes but I love this stuff, I am vaping it right now and it's pretty dang amazing. Very light on the creme but heavy in caramel with a nice tobacco kick have two 60mls and am going to get more soon.

Lychee is hard to describe but I know what Emily is talking about and it's a great vape if you like fruit flavors. It will be making a return it's just not available now, one of my favorites for my mech. Great flavor even at low ohms and some ridiculous clouds along with it,

I can't say I have ever seen Hummingbird in the classifieds (but I'll start paying more attention as it sounds really good). I stalk over there daily as I am a Reo Woody box mod gal!:)

If "The Bird" sounds good check out this thread EDITED...

It's still available through special channels. :thumb:

Head on over to the NT forums, I am sure Emily will show you how to get a hold of some easily without the classies.

Did anyone else get a bottle of CLS from Nicoticket only to feel like they were vaping a bottle of moonshine? I was so excited when I finally got my bottle of CLS I had waited so impatiently to get. I immediately cracked the bottle to get a whif and smelled strong, strong alcohol. I figured it just needed to breath and steep some. I let it breathe for 2 days and let it steep for another week. Finally today I couldn't take waiting any longer and dropped a cpl ml in my nautilus at about 10 watts. Tasted like straight alcohol. I'm beyond disappointed and I'm putting the bottle back in a cabinet to breathe for a cpl more days and steep for another week. Has anyone else had this problem? I love juices (especially custards) and this one was a heartbreaker. Still hoping the extra breathing and steeping will help. Any input is appreciated.

It's OK to not like NT liquids. I've tried a few and they weren't for me - but they are wildly popular among vapers. I would reach out to them, their customer service is excellent and I am sure they will check the batch you got and make it right if they can. I would say a 9 day steep for CLS might be on the short side, but you definitely should be getting a lot of the custard notes by now and much less alcohol.

Agreed. I am NT fan and some of them just aren't for me but the alcohol taste is odd. Even the ones I didn't like I wouldn't say they tasted anything other than what they should have. With or without a steep, I am with ya on contacting them and getting the batch number checked.

I do prefer my CLS well steeped, but even fresh it never tasted alcoholy to me.
I have seen a few people say they think it tastes chemically.
Also never got that personally.
I definitely think CLS continues to get better and better with time....but again I liked it from the start.

Curious how presteeped your bottle is, is it in glass or plastic.
Glass it was mixed one year prior to expiration date, plastic you'd have to check with Nicoticket/Kent Brooks

Hope it improves for you!
As stated come by the NT forum once you get your 5 posts in

It was a glass bottle. I sent them an email through their "contact us" section on their website. Hope they will at least replace the bottle. I would be happy to send this one back.
