Just made my first ever order from AiV. I ordered the small sampler pack. Here are the flavors I ordered:

1): A Quiet Morning
2): Lemon Loves Cake
3): Orange Creamsicle
4): April Moon
5): Fifteen Foot Falls


Has anyone tried these flavors? What are your thoughts? Any other recommendations for future orders?

I've been primarily using MtBaker's juices since I started vaping exclusively back in August. I usually vape at 80%PG 20%VG and get mostly good results. I just find that I enjoy more complex and confusing flavors and looking for something new. I have ventured out just a little when I sampled IVape's "Serendipity" at a B&M I found while on vacation. They had a website, so I was able to order more of that. IT's sooo tasty, but they use a high amount of VG and I can't vape it on a consistent daily basis. (I am actually one of the rare few that is sensitive to VG....not PG).

Things I am concerned about with this vendor (Alice):

1) Only opens on Tuesday nights and closes when she reaches capacity. I understand the reasoning....but what about supply and demand?
2) Takes 7-10 business days to ship out. Booo.
3) Liquids are twice as expensive as I pay at MtBaker.
4) What are the VG/PG ratios?

Looking forward to everyone's input...and if you have suggestions for other complex juice making vendors, I am glad to hear them.

EDIT: Actually went back and placed a 2nd order when I found out there is a coupon code for 15% off her "Punkin Tumble" juice. Coupon code is "tumble" without the quotation marks.Not a huge pumpkin fan, but what the heck. Got 18ml for $12 with shipping. We will see how it goes.

i just recieved my "a little bit of everything" sample pack 2 days ago. even with no steeping, there was not a flavor i didnt like. Hands down the best vendor i have tried.

White rabbit, April Moon, Zombie apocolypse, 15 foot falls, lemon loves cake, pun'kin tumble, Afternoon tea, and Black and white cookie are all going to be reordered. After a little steep, the rest might be as well...

    First, nice choice with Alice in Vapeland. Ill just say this, if all your used to is Mt Baker, you're in for one hell of a treat. AiV juice blows Mt Baker out of the water ten times over.

    Just to get the shipping out of the way, it will vary each time you order, and IDK if order size makes a difference. Sometimes my order ships immediately after they close the store, sometimes it ships the day before they're gonna reopen. And fwiw, I wasn't too keen on their business model, but after trying the juice, I really don't give a crap.

    I happen to have every one of the flavors you bought, two of them I havent got around to trying. They came in little samples which means I can only really use them on one of my drippers, and my drippers are 1 of my favorite ways to vape, and they haven't been free to use. Ill give you the scent impressions on the ones I havent tried.

    Fifteen Foot Falls- One of my fave from AiV. Its so smooth and rich and sweet, but not cloying or sugary. Really needs to be experienced to understand just how awesome it is. Every flavor comes through, everything is in balance.. its just delicious. Ive had it in Carto Tanks, Silica Drippers and Genesis with SS mesh, its awesome every way.

    A Quiet Morning- This one really surprised me. Its not the type of juice I normally vape, but I love it just the same. Its not heavy on the herbal green tea, the passion fruit comes out in front, with the sweet green tea on the back. Very good.

    Lemon Loves Cake- Everyone is always amazed at how AiV got this flavor to be so good.. Me, I really like a good lemon cake, so I wasnt surprised.. It also wasn't on my first order, so I knew AiVs way of doing things, and this one just hits the perfect mark. IF you've ever had a good lemon cake, you'll enjoy this.

    April Morning- Havent tried it, but it smells wonderful.

    Orange Creamsicle- Also havent tried it, it smells spot on. The reaosn why I havent tried it, is Orange Cream is one of my favorite things in life. and Ive tried lots of juices claiming to get the flavor right. Nothing has yet come close, let alone be tasty, to a proper orange cream. I havent tried it because I dont want to go through the work of setting up a coil, just to have to clean it out again. I know I know.. how will I know if I dont try it.. And yes, it does smell wonderful.

    I agree with stevegmu - sample packs ship fairly quickly. I was impressed by how fast I received it when I ordered mine.

    On the negative side, I didn't like any of the ones I tried ('Twas Brillig, Zombie Apocolyse, Lemon Loves Cake, Pumpkin Tumblin, and two others). Evidently I'm one of those people that tastes something funky in her juices. I hope you have better luck - I know a lot of people love her.

    Today, I received my first order from AiV and was so pleased with the special care they give every package. I got the Punkin' Tumble and it is very, very good. I have read nothing but great things about them so I am sure you will enjoy each and every one. Let us know what you think after you have tried them. If your like me you won't be able to wait for them to steep. heehee :)

    I love AiV. I have made peace with being able to order only on Tuesday night. They open until they reach capacity, so the5 don't have a constant backlog of orders that take weeks to ship. Supply and demand is precisely why they only open one day a week.

    I really enjoy Punkin tumble, it's a nice change. I don't really taste pumpkin so much as the spices and sweetness you might taste in pumpkin pie or a pumpkin muffin.

    My favorite of Alice's, and pretty much of all time, is April Moon.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Yeah the Punkin Tumble is a great juice, one of my other favorites next to Fifteen Foot Falls. I agree that the pumpkin is subtle, as was mentioned like youd find in a pumpkin bread, where dont actually taste "pumpkin" but more that spiced warm deliciousness that this time of the year is covered in.

    I pretty much have had punkin tumble in a device for the last three weeks. Its rotated through either one of my dripper setups or on one of my hybrids, but Ive been vaping it alot. Its a really good juice.

    I just got another bottle of Fifteen Good Falls along with some others(and some random samples, which seems to be normal? cool if so), and honestly I could vape this forever. This might be one of those juices that I buy a ridiculous amount of to be sure to never be out of it. The other benefit of buying way too much, is even when its something you vape often, it steeps the whole time you have it, so as you vape it, it just gets better.

    MBV is going to be the least expensive juice people here are going to rave about. That and the awesome customer service make them so popular. I like that they sell 2x punched Boge cartos, too.

    That being said, AIV has been on my list to try, as well as Nicoticket.

    Guys any coupon codes to use on the sample pack??? HELP PLS B4 SHE CLOSES!

    Hi Monica....I don't believe there are any coupon codes for sample packs. But....you can get 15% if you order a bottle of Punkin Tumble by using the code "tumble" without the quotation marks.

    It's only $11 for $18ml and the code takes a bit off of that after shipping. Not bad. After I ordered my sample pack, I placed another order for the Punkin Tumble because I found the coupon code.

    I'm super excited. I'm hoping it ships fast! I can't wait to sample and try. But if I like it....I have to wait another 2 weeks to order because her store is closed all of next week.

    But...I just checked and she is still open this morning...so yay!!! If you want to place an order you better do it now! Who knows how much longer she will be open!

    just got mystic mandalime yesterday at my local shop, really pleased with it. really citrusy if that's your thing. and the dark brown glass bottles to protect from light and the drip tip are a very very nice touch. other vendors should take note - imo if you're gonna charge $10-$15 for 15mL of anything, add some nice touches to it.
