In the last few days my whole paradigm on vaping has changed. The convergence of using Rebuildables along with a windfall of fine contemporary NET juices from the best vendors has illustrated to me the radical developments in the world of vaping in the last 18 months. I feel like I’ve come out of some sort of hibernation. Up until a few days ago I was still vaping yesteryear’s crop of the lot such as Alien Visions, Backwood Brew and Vaperite. My last orders were made back when naturally extracted tobaccos were just starting out back when Want2Vape, Vaperite and a handful of other vendors were naturally extracting their tobaccos.
It’s been an exciting few days. It has very fortuitous to have met Scarf-ace on ECF. Within days she mailed out to me the following liquids:
Mountain Oak Vapor – Southern Gentleman

Ahlusion – Blue Grass Burley
Ahlusion – Honey Cured Tobacco
Ahlusion – Smooth Criminal
Ahlusion – Depserado
Ahlusion – Vecchio blend (with strong tobacco)
Ahlusion – Deal Maker
Ahlusion – Masala Chai
Velvet Cloud Vapor – Burley Beard Tobacco Blend
Plume Room – Candied Cavendish
Plume Room – Marlboro T
MyVapeJuice – County Squire
Tasty Vapor – tobacco
Halo – Bella Valente
Alice in Vapeland – Frost Blossom
Virgin Vapor – Dark Side of the Moon
Alice in Vapeland – (don’t know. Label has faded)
Niteline Vapor – Sundance
Niteline Vapor – NLV Waffles
Ramon Allones Celestial (Scarf-ace’s home brew!)
Carmen RYO tobacco (Scarf-ace’s home brew)
Borkum riff vanilla Cavendish – (Scarf-ace’s home brew)
Honey almond oolong.
Ginger 50% (No other info)
Let’s just say, that when I opened the package I was like a kid just handed a bunch of toys. I was gripped with excitement. Half of these vendors don’t deliver to Australia and I was particularly disappointed to find out that Ahlusion didn’t. In coming days and weeks I am going to review these liquids. As a disclaimer my testing of these liquids has been affected by ups and downs in taste sensitivity (I’ve vaped a lot lately trying these liquids), mixing liquids in atty’s (which invariably happens when you are eager to try a whole host of new liquids) and the set up I am using (I’ve got my good old reliable German VKS atty’s but have started to use RBa’s like AGA-T2 and the Phoenix.
So far I have tried a handful of them. One thing is for certain. These good quality NET’s deserve to be vaped in RBA atty’s. Putting them in cartos, normal atty’s, clearos or anything else does them no justice. There is one caveat to this. Mini Novas have amazing flavor and really bring out the best in these juices. I am sure Kangas and BCC Mega’s most likely are similar but I would never hesitate to fill up a Mini Nova with a good quality NET juice.
Plume Room Candied Cavendish – one of my favourites in a long list of favourites. This was one of my first experiences with the new generation of liquids. It’s a delicious blend of tobacco, sweet and spice, almost indistinguishable in it’s individual flavours. This stuff is kind of like my all day dessert vape. 4 out of 5.
Ahlusion – Blue Grass Burley and Honey Cured – my immediate reaction was WOW. It’s like someone mulched up a bunch of tobacco leaves (or grasses) and extracted a liquid out of them. The flavor hit me, the likeness to tobacco had me enraptured. I had an idea in my head how I expected Ahlusion aromatics to taste based on the site’s review and user comments on ECF and my expectations were quite high. Well, those expectations were thusly met and maybe even exceeded. I love these aromatics! 4.5 out of 5.
Ahlusion – Smooth Criminal – Nice. Not so aromatic. Detected subtle traces of chocolate or nuttiness. Plenty of vapor, slightly muted on flavor. Very satisfying. Good kick in the throat when you need nic.
MOV – Southern Gentlemen – tastes more like a very good synthetic but I haven’t really given it a good tryout in a decent RBA. 3 out of 5. (But must give it another chance in a better vaping device).
MyVapejuice - County Squire – This one particular juice is to cigars or cigarillos, what BGB is to burley tobaccos. This juice knocked my socks off for how close it tasted to a cigar. If I closed my eyes and didn’t know what I was breathing in, I would think I had a cigarillo in my mouth. I have never heard of Myvapejuice but I was instantly impressed by this juice. Good vapor, throat hit and that likeness to cigars. Magic. 4.5 out of 5.
