Sahara smells amazing, and instantly recognizable but can't place from where yet.
Oooh, I know what it smells like! (But won't spoil the shock of realization.)

She PHAT!
I've got two fresh 50 bottles steeping that just arrived last week, but also have a bottle from earlier this year after the recipe changed that was sent to me. It is COMPLETELY different from what I remember of my PB last year.

Smells like a freshly opened pack of Camels. Also smell like a juice I've had before, but not sure which.
What do you get?

I can't wait to get your thoughts on Apache. I bet they will be just like Wlad's thoughts on it. LOL
Camels for me too.

The smell [of fresh Sahara Blend] is intoxicating, I love it. I've always enjoyed the smell of a fresh pack of Camels. I have a feeling I may enjoy vaping Sahara un-aged.
All right, MrM (you shameless tease!), I'll bite. What exactly are Wlad's thoughts on Apache?
In the general arena that includes MOV Apache, Ahl Devil Dog/Blue Grass Burley, and w2v London/Louisville, all of them are high-impact, in-your-face NET blends, with DD being even more extreme than that---sort of "up your spout." What I like about Apache is that (to use the word RPad wrote in a post awhile back) it's more "approachable."
That's the same quality that makes me vape more Smooth Criminal than BGB, even though BGB is absolutely superlative. I tend to be drawn more to comfort in my vaping than dramatic shock effect. LOL.
I must admit I've been extremely impatient with my sample bottle of SB; I've been vaping bits of it here and there "just in case"D), and it's not even a full week old yet! (My last -- and all-time favorite -- brand of smokes was Camel Turkish Silver.)
At Day 3, SB vaped a tad perfumey/soapy, but was already giving me the "come hither" vibe; today is Day 7, and I must exercise restraint lest I vape it all up before it's even a respectable shade of pink!(Yes, it is a very very light and translucent shade of pink right now.)
Must. Order. 30 (60?) mls. of. Sahara Blend. SOON!

Okay, I gave Wlad the bottle and, like most vapers, he opened the bottle and smelled it. Then he tilted his head a bit, smelled it again and said, "hmmm..." He asked me if he could vape it and of course that was cool. He dripped a few drops into his atty and gave it a couple drags. He looked at me and said, "that tastes like something I would make." NO BS, but he later said, "But I don't think there's any burley in there."
All quotes are to the best of my memory, but I promise they are all as close as can be and the gist is exact!
Didn't you notice MOV now has an aromatic line with just Apache in it so far?
Made you look.

First impressions: Organic Vanilla Pipe from CravinVapes LLC e-cigs & e-liquids - CravinVapes E-cigs & E-liquid
I'm going to do these initial impressions different from what I did before. I'll still give mainly my opinions, since I like my opinions because only I can have them, but will try to judge on more concrete attributes too. These attributes will be done on a one to five scale. Only the last rank I'll do, the overall, will be 5 as the best and the rest will be based on which direction I'm ranking the attribute. So a one in say "sweetness" will mean little to no sweetness, which can be a good thing based on the juice.
Sweetness (one equals little to no sweetness, five equals sickenly sweet): 2.5 The level of sweetness in this juice is very well done, almost perfect for this specific juice. It has a mild, pleasant sweetness. Any more would have ruined this juice, obliterating the faint tobacco. It seemed drier when I started, around a 2, but seems a little sweeter as I continue to vape.
Tobacco Impact (one equals little to no tobacco notes, five equals extremely aggressive or multiple and noticable tobacco notes): 2 A little smokey. It has more of a tobacco feel than I expected, but one-dimensional. Very basic tobacco like a commercial cigarette. It has no notes that can't be done with a arti-bacco. It is tobacco, but uninspired and as basic as a NET can be. Newbie feeling timid and just want to get their feet wet, maybe try this.
Vapability (one equals very occasional vape for short sessions, five equals anytime vape for long sessions) 3.5 Highly vapable. Easy on the pallette. Smooth and pleasant. Could vape this whenever I'm in the mood for vanilla tobacco, which is most of the time. It doesn't pack the wow of certain silky smooth vapes from HHV or MOV, but has some of what makes those so extemely vapable.
Flavor (one equals unwanted flavors (chemical or off notes), or may taste good but nothing like the description, 5 equals tastes exactly like the description with no off notes) 2.5 They got it half right, the vanilla tastes like vanilla. The tobacco however is pure cigarette. None of the complexity of a pipe blend.
Overall: 3 I'm an easy sell with vanilla tobacco, it's my favorite. The vanilla in Vanilla Pipe is one I really enjoy. It's like the vanilla in ice-cream; zero bite, just smooth, creamy, and pleasant. The tobacco however, just doesn't do what I want in a NET toting pipe asperation. It might as well be an arti-bacco, or sold as a vanilla cig NET. I still like it though, and will enjoy vaping the bottle. Don't see a reason to reorder. Great, fast, cheap; pick two. With this juice, CV nailed fast and cheap and missed out on what's important to me, greatness in flavor.

... that kind of thinking makes my head hurt since having the baby...
Damn you! I didn't see the bottom of this cotton-pickin' post and actually went to their site. LOL
Jerms, you are showing why reviewing is mostly a thing of the past for me. It's easy to do research and report back, but that kind of thinking makes my head hurt since having the baby. That said, I agree with your review and, actually, that was my favorite juice from them.
We call it 'mommy brain'....next comes the forgetfulness and sleep-deprived euphoria.
Strangers will stop you on the street when your sweet little one is screaming bloody murder at the top of her lungs, to reassure you, "Don't worry! It gets better!"
Don't believe them! It's a lie! It doesn't! They get smarter, and it takes more skill and cunning on your part to parent them!
Around one, shoving a binky, bottle or boob in their mouths doesn't work anymore. (Although my husband and my son were a bit sad about that last one!)
After two, Cheerios and juice boxes go by the wayside.
Rest easy in knowing that God makes babies cute so their parents don't EAT them (at least not in the wild)!

Score!
Lol. I have little responsibilities...
