Help me make a decision: Ahlusion or Rawr (or maybe HHV?)

[Ekove]

So I'm leaving to the middle east until christmas, and I need to stock up for the trip. I am into bakery flavors but I already got that covered so I need tobacco/Mint/Fruits...

I am between Ahlusion and Rawr with the following flavors:

Ahlusion: House blend, Vecciho blend, House Blend, Strawberry vanilla cake and Berry Shangri-la Tea
Rawr: Poison, Truth Serum, Serenity, Firey nuts, Antidote (And maybe one of their teas?)

Though I'm almost tempted to go for HHV just for their tobacco flavors (Gandalf, Dragon, pirate).

I simply want something smooth, with good throat hit and vapor, and no weird after tastes or chemical tastes, and obviously fill the other spots since I already have bakery flavors are covered. Yeah I know this is too vague but I cant seem to make that blind decision on my own. The only tobaccos I tried are boba/gorilla from AVE, which I liked but found them to frustrating to vape with inconsistent flavor, and RY4 from highbrow which while I liked a lot, found lacking in vapor and throat hit. I have tried several fruity flavors from highbrow/AVE/Ms T as well as high calibar, and liked non of them at all, maybe fruity is not my thing.

So, someone convince me to go for one house or the other.

I can't speak to Ahlusion....although I've been meaning to check them out and will probably place an order in the next couple of weeks.

As for Rawr...you have listed 2 of my all day vapes. HIGHLY recommend Serenity and Fiery Nuts (that stuff is just amazing....got it for the first time last week, haven't vaped anything else since, and don't see it ending soon). I'd definitely recommend the Green Peach Tea as well. I don't think it could taste anymore like the real thing even if I filled my carto with some Lipton. They added some sample packs, one of which has a few of the juices you mention. (the Top Sellers pack I believe). Those are really great, deals, 5, 5ml bottles for $15. You'd need more than 5ml of Serenity and Fiery Nuts though....those juices are just amazing. Antidote is another I love. Blueberry lemonade...its so refreshing. I have a bottle of their menthol drops (Angel Tears), and Antidote is one I like to add a touch of menthol to every now & then. He also sends a free 5ml sample with every order. Truth Serum is a great juice, but definitely needs to steep more than the others IMO. Its actually further down my list as compared to other Rawr juices....but I may be the minority there, since its one of their most popular juices. I can't speak to Poison, as I'm not much of a tobacco girl anymore. Long story short....I have been vaping Rawr for 4+ months pretty much exclusively. I, too have tried AVE, and alot of the other top vendors when I first started vaping, definitely like Bobas and Gorilla, just not vaping tobaccos as much anymore. For the flavor profiles that are more up my alley now a days, Rawr definitely continues to impress me. I've ordered a few samples elsewhere along the way, but always go back to my Rawr juices...and keep ordering more. I've got over 40 juices from them now, and can't point to one that I don't like. Super fast shipping and customer service as well...I've been very very happy with Rawr and will keep going back.

HHV is one of the few vendors I grabbed some samples from in recent time, Gandalf really is a great juice, especially since I don't really even like tobaccos anymore. I really enjoyed that one though.

Not sure if that helps...but hopefully at least gives you some additional info to work with. Good luck!

HHV Gandolf was my daily use bottle of juice (have 2 more 30 ml bottles ordered) and just today I received a new bottle from a different vendor to see what it was like.

I have to say that Marlboro Type with Natural Tobacco by TPR | The Plume Room will be right next to my Gandolf bottle for my everyday use , really nice juice.

Daniele: This sounds really tempting. I love to cook and I love perfume (strange for a guy, eh?) and cinnamon has always been my favorite spice in both cooking and perfume, along with saffron and cardamom. Thought it was only natural for me to want to vape something with cinnamon yet all of my experiences have been...meh. So I am looking forward to try fiery nuts. I love tea as well but not sure how it'd taste as a vape, especially with pear? And about HHV, yeah I want a good tobacco, but I think I am not enjoying tobacco much anyway.

lmorris: Gandalf seems to be the most popular flavor on the boards, perhaps with competition from only Boba and CC House. I'm really tempted to try it, but no other HHV flavors interest me and I am not sure if I want to pay shipping to try one flavor, but if people hype it up more I might go for it.

The plume room was actually in my list for their frap and cinnamon flavors....I am not sure though about Marlboro? I was a Davidoff smoker, but marlboro was my second choice even though I didn't like it much. Im still tempted to try the plume room, but again, they suffer from a small collection and I am not sure if I want to pay shipping for only 1 or 2 flavors.

Thanks for the feedback guys

I felt the exact same way about vaping teas until I tried the Green Peach Tea from Rawr....it was unbelievably enjoyable, so realistic it was crazy! They have several others, like berry tea, green pear, pomegranite, regular green tea, earl grey, etc. I can speak to Green Peach Tea, which I think ismy favorite of the ones I have tried. It might be worth grabbing their sample pack of top sellers, and green peach tea is one of them. (If you dont want to get 5 tea juices, which would be their tea sampler)

Good luck!

I've had Ahlusions Apple House Blend for a few days and really like it. Enough that I'm gonna order some of their other tobacco's soon.

I have Gandalf and Heather's Heavenly Tobacco (RY4 type) and it's pretty good, especially the Gandalf.

 

[otakta]

I would go with your rawr vapor selections

 

[Ekove]

Thank you for the feedback guys, seems like Rawr is the winner so far.

 

[DantesInferno]

Just got 2 from ahlusion today. Peachy criminal and vecchio blend. Not too thrilled about either one but will give them a few days before I really decide.

So RAWR it is, though Im still consider HHV or maybe backwoods...though that'd be too much for 3 months with over 100 ml of juices I already ordered from copper creek and highbrow.

So one final question with rawr, Im going to order everything with 50/50 probably, but I want one flavor with over 80% VG for when I crave making thick clouds...what flavor of the ones I mentioned will still perform with good TH and flavor with such high VG? Maybe fiery nuts?

I've never gone higher than 50% VG on Rawr's juices, but I think in terms of flavor, Truth Serum or Antidote are probably the strongest flavors....even when I get those at 50%...so I'm thinking maybe one of those? Antidote has the lemonade component, so I typically find good throat hit with the citrus-y juices, even at higher VG. I have Fiery Nuts in 50/50 as well as 70/30 PG/VG, and I re-ordered it at the higher PG ratio. Since it's a natural cinnamon and not that cinnamon red hot candy flavor, its not such an "in your face" type of flavor. (Also, I vape at 12mg Nic, so that Is what I am speaking to here)

Did you plan to get any mentholated? If so, I'd suggest Antidote again for that, and I always get the lowest level of menthol. (I'm not a huge menthol fan though, so some like it higher). It does work well with Antidote since its already a refreshing flavor, so the coolness works. If you do mentholate one, maybe go with that one for the higher VG content, since you'll get some more TH from the menthol as well. A lot of people also love Truth Serum with menthol, I have tried it both ways, i definitely like it both ways, but prefer non-menthol, being more of a non-menthol type of girl.

OH...and I believe your options over 50% VG at Rawr are 70%VG or 100% VG. (I don't think they have an option for 80%, but you might be able to drop Mike a line on that if you are set on 80%)

Hope this helps!

Berry Lemonade ,Strapple tea and Antidote all with menthol are some of my favorite juices

 

[torbotek]

I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND the HHV!!! I have never had a juice that tasted soooo natural and just awesome in flavor profile! I tried the RAWR line of juice (i actually ordered 20 flavors from them -sample sizes) and I didn't like a single one of them unfortunately! They all tasted very "chemical" to me. Anyway, my favorite for from the HHV line is the Huntsman. My GOD is it good! Gandalf is ok but still too sweet for my taste.

I was going to mentholate everything...Not a huge menthol but it seems highly recommended with rawr. Thanks for your suggestions.

well that's disappointing to hear. Maybe I should just order sample sizes from both, have I'll have enough time and they have fast service.

Just another note on the Rawr juices...since most of their flavors are more complex/blends of flavors, they will require some steeping. Truth Serum (and the other "Serums") definitely seem to need some time to come together, more so than some of the others IMO. I cannot vape Truth Serum straight out of the mail, but after about a week you will notice the color of the juice has actually changed, which indicates it should be good to go.

I will sample the Rawr juices I have after a week or two again. I failed to mention that I tried them when i got them from the mail. The HHV juices however where ready and vapable from the mail.

No problem! I mentholated everything the first time around to, and honestly I wished I hadn't. I felt like the menthol wasn't letting me taste the full flavors. (That said, there are a few I really like with menthol, like Antidote and Razmataz). It's definitely personal preference here though...but thought I would mention that since you said you're not a huge menthol fan. I ended up just grabbing a bottle of the Angel Tears (menthol drops) and I get everything without menthol and add to the ones I want as I please. I found after ordering my first batch of juices with the menthol, I was really curious to try them without, and ended up going back to order the same juices minus the menthol. LOL I figure with the Angel Tears, I can always add, but can't take it away once its already there!

Good luck!
