No idea. Never even seen a tank style rba in person. My thinking is if a silica wick is set up like for a dripper, the hole that the mesh wick would go through would be open to swish liquid up onto the silica wick. I'm sure Scarf would be able to answer that better.

I was thinking, if tea-baccos ever become popular we'll have a whole new set of words to make up. Lab made? Artea-bacco, arTea-bacco, artitea-bacco, arti-teabacco. Extracted? NETT, NETTea, NETea, NEToTea, NETeaTo. Either one? Tea-bacco, toba-tea, Boba's Bounty.

HHV Initial Impressions
First, these all blend well. I didn't taste flavors fighting each other and even without steeping, they were fairly well balanced. There are some hidden flavors that were either too faint to pinpoint or I would catch just a glimpse of them.
Pirates Booty - A bit of a roasted flavor, very light dark chocolate notes with a very light cream or vanilla, sweeter than the others but, not too sweet. I got a bit of white pepper and some other spices that I couldnt distinguish.
Huntsman - light-ish tobacco flavor, slightly sweet with some mellow earthy tones. Almost the taste of fallen leaves in the autumn. I know that isnt very taste specific but, that is the flavor that popped in my head. Definitely needs steeping - there seems to be a lot going on and a good chunk of the flavor is muted at the moment.
Legend - light to medium tobacco flavor, not quite a full pipe tobacco to me but, definitely a lot going on. Got a bit of unsweetened caramel in the inhale only just a very very little bit, a bit of very faint fruit notes, and tobacco on the exhale. The earthy notes are mild and not very pronounced. Overall, an interesting composition
Dragons Fire - Sweeter up front with a lighter tobacco base. A bit heavier on the vanilla/cream and I caught bits of honey as well. Maybe a bit of dark chocolate or cocoa but, very very faint.
Dark Horse - Richer tobacco than the others I tried tonight. The tobacco flavor lingers after the vape is done. A bit earthy on the inhale but, not too much. I get a hint of smoke, a bit of dried grass, and some pepper but, it is balanced well. The most complex of the 5.

Acadian Gold+ Pomegranate Tea=WIN. This strengthens my resolve to try this for real.
Great to read your impressions. I think you will find that Huntsman matures wonderfully... it gets richer and bolder yet smoother at the same time.
I tried to hit the like button more than once... sorry for the like/unlike/like/unlike spam
I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Thank you and I hope so - I try to leave off whether I like the juice or not when I am going through it... I figure sticking to the flavors I taste are the most helpful for me when I come back to it and others interested in potentially trying it.
That said, Huntsman and Dark Horse are the two out of those five that I am looking forward to the most. There was enough complexity there to hint at it opening up really well.
Nice to get the confirmation on it
Good reviews CW - Hugs from the Number 1 Huntsman Cheerleader

Here's my latest Ahlusion review, including two delicious NETs. I expected to love Honey Cured and it met my expectations; it's another fine addition to the outstanding aromatics line. Peach Criminal was a very pleasant surprised. I had a feeling that I'd like it a lot, but I ended up loving it. The smell started to change after five weeks and got better each week. After a 3.5 month steep, I discovered a delightful vape.
Honey Cured -- While the tobacco isn't as potent as the other aromatics I've tried, it's still strong and flavorful, blending perfectly with a brightly sweet and natural-tasting honey.
Peachy Criminal -- The sweet and nutty Smooth Criminal tobacco blends brilliantly with a great peach flavor. Some people feel that this one has too much going on, but I completely (but respectfully) disagree with that opinion.
Full review and steeping notes here.
Nice review R. Peachy Criminal is as much of a grand slam for you as Sweet Georgia Peach is for me. Looking forward to trying both PC and Honey Cured. Has someone had both that can compare/contrast how the peach tastes?

I have, but it has been so long that I just can't remember, I will be ordering Peachy Criminal very, very soon along with a few more (maybe MI Cherry Tea
Scarf.)
RPad, I enjoyed this as I do all of your reviews. I look forward to hearing your take on the new Boba/lychee. Also, did you ever talk to W about getting it adjusted to more of your tastes?
Yes indeed. I like the evolving process of Ahlusion profiling. In a way, I'm glad that the first batch of lychee flavor Wlad had from December/January was too strong. I actually want to do a review of three flavors revisited, either with different formulas or different options. Boba Tea with Lychee would be there, as would Mimosa Cocktail, but this time with extra champagne. Options, personal profiling, and excellent juice. I just might move to Swartz Creek!
Tez has and enjoys both. Also, I'm thinking SGP will be a grand slam for me too. I love Ahlusion aromatics and I love peach. It should be perfect for me, right?!? Unfortunately, the day I went to order six bottles of aromatics, everything was out of stock save for Devil Dog!, which is too manly for me. Ha!
Logic looks sound to me. One thing I love about Ahlusion is I feel free to set my expectations high. More often than not they meet it, plus there's something unexpected about the juice that surpasses it. SGP was a no-brainer for me. Like you I love the aros and I loves me some peaches. In fact, I could eat a peach for h... wait nevermind that, sorry. Anyways, it was done different than I expected which put it past the edge of awesome.
I have Blue Fairy sitting in the steep box for a month that I haven't tried yet. I've yet to have an absinthe/anise/black licorice type vape so I have no idea what to expect or if I'll like that style of vape, but I still expect it to be awesome.

Imagine how I feel--I am close but not close enough! I mean, come on! How many vendors are actually actively hiring? I would love to be a lab assistant--though, Wlad does NOT play when it comes to lab practices.
I did everything I could to figure out a way, but an hour to and fro everyday is just too much with gas nowadays. Oh, and public transport from metro Detroit to the Flint area? Not a chance. Anyway, Mimosa Cocktail with Strong Champagne option was one of those of those vapes that I adored, but never reordered. I think sometimes when I know there is a flavor I really dig, it frees me up to try more because I at least know what to fall back on when all else fails. For instance, the last time I had Boba Plain was fall of last year. I really liked it, but I sent it to Daniele. Now she loves it, but I have yet to have it again. That was until my Thursday order which being sent yesterday from SC, should be showing up to my door today. Since that ISO 9001 audit and subsequent certification, things are moving along again.
Man, the new system they got is quite sensitive. I placed an order for all 18 mg bottles, but for my free 10 mL, I ordered 8 mg for an ECF friend (hey you, if you're reading) and in the night Wlad sent me a message saying the system lagged my order because there seemed to be a discrepancy--in that the order looked like a mistake occurred--with the 8 mg. I assured him (I mean, the system) that I really wanted 8 mg with Blue Fairy.
Oh, and talking about NEToteas (Jerms, you're crazy) I plan on talking to W when I visit next week about getting a natural Boba with a natural Tobacco (maybe a Smooth Boba Criminal?). Is there anything else out there like that?
Stay tuned.
SGP is light for an aromatic, not overly sweet or tart, and whisper smooth. The peach and tobacco essentially become one flavor. You'll like it. And if you don't, I'll buy it from you.
Well said. At first I didn't notice any tobacco, just peach. Someone else said they didn't notice any peach, just tobacco. The thing is, it has both while having neither. Just one flavor, peach tobacco.
