Dark Horse is worth an order any day!
You're welcome!
Curious? Much more than that my friend. It'll be fascinating to see what they're like and how close to the originals they get. It's almost unthinkable that those flavors can be made without tobacco. Wlad though.. as an experienced flavor chemist that man can pull off some truly astounding feats with flavor.
If someone finds the key to unlock NET flavor without tobacco extract it's Ahl, but that's still a big IF! You've had Devil Dog, it was just called Apache
. Different juices, but extremely similar. Could you imagine Apache as a clean and clear synthetic?If someone finds the key to unlock NET flavor without tobacco extract it's Ahl, but that's still a big IF! You've had Devil Dog, it was just called Apache
I'm glad to see someone try. I don't vape NET because it's made of tobacco, I vape NET because it's the only option for real tobacco taste. With what can be done with flavor molecules, real tobacco flavor should be possible in synthetic form, as long as there's people willing to attempt it. As small of a market we NET vapers make, I wasn't counting on that effort being made. If Ahl can do it and it sells, eventually other vendors will release real tobacco tasting synthetics as well.
I've heard he is a professional flavor chemist who creates flavorings at the molecular level, who used to specialize in making ice cream flavors before eliquid. I've never met him, so it's what I've heard, not what I know. I do know he manufactures most the flavors that they use, though also use some other commercial flavorings, and they also sell their manufactured flavors to other juice vendors.I don't think he's the first one to try. Every synthetic tobacco flavor out there has been an attempt to replicate tobacco taste. Will he be more successful than others ? Possibly.
I seriously doubt ( although i clearly don't know ), that he is assembling compounds on a molecular level. From what i've read about this industry, even the " End flavor suppliers " that we are familiar with do not create flavor molecules, but they are compounders of flavor molecules which have been created by " root manufacturers ". Root manufacturing is extremely expensive and requires labs that cost millions of dollars and chemists who have had many years of apprenticeship and employment in flavor houses. So he is probably working with the same tobacco flavors available to other vendors, although he might combine them in a superior manner and/or have access to some flavors that others don't !?
Again, just my limited understanding of how the flavor industry works.
Wlad is a talented mixer of flavors for sure, but not the straightest shooter out there !I think there's info in the 'about us' and the FAQ of their site about the creation of their flavorings. I don't remember the specifics of their claims.I hear you, but just because the synthetics you tried weren't successful in replicating the taste of tobacco, it doesn't mean it was for the lack of trying. I mean i don't think they set out to represent the " idea of tobacco " rather than it's taste. Just my opinion.
I would be really surprised if he manufactures flavors on a molecular level himself. I was reading a thread in a different forum on the topic, and the owner of a major vendor ( NicVape ) and member of the board of AEMSA clamed that even the end flavor manufacturers ( FA, TFA etc... ) don't manufacture flavors on a molecular level. It's the " Root Manufacturers " who do that.
But as far as Wlad working in the flavor houses as a Flavor Chemist, i don't know. There is easily as much misinformation out there about Ahlusion as fact
