Hit it or Quit it - Apricot Ambition (SR)

[brookj1986]

Day 2 on AA along with my other 2 (Virus and Frenilla/GCD) and AA continues to be my go to. Not too sweet and not heavy. I've decided to put the GCD away for a couple of weeks to mellow out. IT's a really in your face flavor fresh I'm finding.

I let mine sit for a couple weeks. Now I can't put it down, though im forcing myself to. It had really melded together. Cinnamon mellows, and the sweetness of the icing really comes through. Reminds me of a Cinnabon now.

Will have to give AA another go. Maybe I'll sub ohm drip it. See if that gives a stronger flavor.

That's what I'm hoping. Tastes great but needs to mellow. I may be dead wrong but don't think the AA is going to be one of those strong flavors. I thought it was too light to start but now I can taste on inhale an exhale.

I agree it needs to steep for a bit. But the more I vape it, the better it tastes. When I first start vaping it, its a bit muted, but 20min later, the apricot becomes more present and sweet. Im running low on tanks so this ones goin in the cabinet for awhile.

Well, I have 50 ml, so it's not going to be wasted, and it's not that I don't like it, i do... it just tastes mild to me.

The 15 ml of Coolcumber Mint... wish it was more mint, less cucumber.

Steep time: 2 days

Nic Level: 12 mg

Tank/Atomizer: Tobh 0.6 and Castle 1.2

Mod: (mechanical, VV) Stainless ChiYou and brass Nemesis clones

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Fresh out of the purple bag this seems to need the heat. On the Tobh I'm getting a nice fresh apricot in both inhale and exhale. The flavor is very muted on Castle at the lower wattage. I'm loving this at the higher wattage, but I will try to put it aside for a week or two and see how it does with some age.

Steep time 0

Nicotine 12mg

Tank Smok RBC clearomizer 1.8ohm coil

MVP 2.0 and Ego twist

The apricot jumps right out, a little sweetness and a little tartness. I'm getting almost like an apricot tea or apricot infused water kind of vibe. It's a very refreshing and light kind of summer time, hot weather vape. There's a floral note, a good one, I can't quite place. I'll come back and edit once I figure it out.

I literally ran this on the MVP between 6 and 11 watts, 9.5-10 watts was the sweet spot for me. It was good throughout the entire range though. On the Twist I ran it 3.5- 4.2 volts. It was by far best for me at the upper end 4-4.2.

The tart gives me a bit of a dryness on exhale but my mouth starts to water right after. Quite frankly I doubt I'm putting this down the rest of the night.

Can't wait to hear what folks running this at higher voltage, wattage come back with. I can see why this has been an request from old time NT people!

So 7 days later and all the original flavor is still there but there's a plum(ish) flavor hitting me on the exhale that's wonderful. Still can't figure out the floral note though. That is driving me batty!

This one gets hit a least a little bit every day.

The plum'ish note is omg delicious. I get it at about 17-19w or so?

No only have the MVP 2 using the same clearo 1.8o coil as original review just running watts at 10w.

Wish you'd clue me in on the floral I'm catching or is this just something I'm getting.

What ohm coil. I may have try try dripping with Sigelei.

 

[brookj1986]

Interesting. Just tried it on the Omega I got from FastTech... left in the shotty stock coils and silica wick just for pure laziness. The apricot really popped at 18.4 watts on the 0.8 ohm standard dual coils. Will be replacing the coils and playing around with micro coils. Very yummy.

It just hit me what this exhale flavor is........it's a PLUOT! Can't wait til I can get them at the store too.

 

[AStilettoHeel]

Hrm. I'm going to have to reserve a full review until it's steeped for a bit. Right now it's coming off really floral for me.

 

[brookj1986]

I have to say. Taste is much better now than a week ago. Omega rda at about 19 watts dual coil 0.7 ohm build. Yummy. Still mild in flavoring, but very delicious.

There's definitely a floral note in this for me as well. I can't figure out what it is and it's not bad at all for me. It "belongs" there for me I just with I could place it.

I have 2 more 50ml coming in today of AA so will let steep. I switched out my RM for the cyclone with a triple twisted 32 gauge at .9 and a fresh battery. I put in new wick so may take a bit to get the true flavor but seems to be a great flavor with the twisted coil and lower ohm build. Will vape on it all day and see. I'm down to about 30ml on the original bottle.

Steep time: Day 5

Nic level : 12mg

Topper: Tobh ATTY 26g duals @0.6 ohms.

Fire Power: Gus Lord w/ Sony 30a battery. (soon with added kick)

Tasting notes: Wow, What a refreshing vape. I was not really a fruit guy other then some strawberrys. Nicoticket has changed that. The flavor to me is that of a fresh and tart apricot on the intake and a juicy peach on the release. I picked it up and had a hard time putting down. After a few Attyfulls (own word), I decided to try a Clark recommendation by mixing 50% AA with 25% CLS and about 25% CB. Holy S**t!! What? Wait a minute! Hold the phone!! That is the Bomb Diggity Big Daddy! I don't even Know where to start describing the flavors that emit from this blend.
Simply fantastic and nothing like I have ever had before. After three or four loads I went back to straight AA and there it was, that fresh apricot peachy flavor came right back. I can see why the OG's were clambering for this stuff. The rest has been put to steep but it keeps peeking at me and trying to suck me in. Resistance may be futile! My only hope is that it sticks around long enough to order up more when Wakonda hits next week. Five stars Clark, ya nailed it!

I might just cry. I haven't done a review yet and I'm holding off til I can figure out how to vape this one. I'm not getting apricot. Not at all. Not even peach. I get a not too sweet, almost potpourri kind of fruit flavor, very mild, and faint. I'm afraid it's my taste buds not picking up the apricot or being wonky right now. I'm a little stuffy from allergies, but I seem to be tasting other juices okay. I have looked forward to this juice since I first heard it existed. I've tried it in my TOBH with cotton, in a tank with a rebuilt coil, a stock coil, and nothing. In the Aerotank it wasn't good, oh no, no no. Im gonna give it some time to come around. Maybe it's the combo of the 6 mg. with NZ that dulls the flavor. I'm grapsing at straws here. I want apricot juice!!

You are not alone in this. I have been hitting AA for months (the BOD on mine is 12/30/13). I do not get apricot. Maybe I don't know what an apricot tastes like! LOL. Next round, I will add a bit of Frenilla to see if that works for me.

Just had a thought! Of course, there are some flavors that some of us just can't taste, but I don't think this is the issue here. Maybe the flavor is toooo full and strong for me to taste. Don't know if it is true, but months ago I read that if you get too much flavor it is about the same as not enough...difficult to taste. I am going to try the Frenilla addition today. I really, really want to like this one. So far, not so much!

Super bummed this missed for both of you (so far) - you're right though, might be blind spots. Also, might try manipulating the wattage/voltage and device selection to see if you can get it to "pop" (without forcing it). Or, put it in the rotation and see if vaping it after a specific flavor can get it to "catch" for you.

I think we're looking at some kind of blind spot. Yesterday and today I've been dripping on a 1.0 Ω tiger coil (twisted flat .8mm with 30 gauge kanthal) which is a flavor coil, with lots of surface area. I'm dripping in a Stillare RDA on a DNA 30 clone. I've dripped from 7W to 30W and all I get is still a faint Apricot potpourri flavor. At over 20Watts, I get this amazing tangy taste on my tongue, but the apricot itself just isn't there for me. I can tell it's apricot but it's definitely not a fresh, juicy, tangy flavor. I've tried the 6mg. and the NZ and both combined. It's not unvapeable, just not the apricot punch I was dreaming of. I'm sure it's not the juice, gotta call "human error" on this one. Gonna let it sit and steep a couple of weeks and see what happens, just in case.
