Well, I finally found two losers in my batch of Ahlusion juices. Not saying that the love fest is over because I really like most of their juices but these two fell flat on their faces for me.
Strawberry Vanilla Cake and Blueberry Vanilla Cake. They remind me of when I was vaping MBV or HDV or Deejstuff. Something in the flavors or maybe the cake base comes out almost like smelly socks to my tastebuds. I have their Strawberry Shortcake and it tastes like its namesake, lush strawberries with the biscuit and sweet cream. But these two, yuck. Steeping did not help. Going up and down the voltage scale did not help. New atty did not help. Oh well. I just may not like what they are using for their cake base. It overpowered the fruit and I taste no vanilla, unless the nasty taste was from the vanilla. Don't know. Crossed off reorder list forever.
I have about 20 of Ahlusion's flavors and find them on the whole to be rich, well balanced and complex juices. Caramel Pear Black Tea is my all day vape now along with their Smooth Criminal. (My NLV Gold is still in my daily rotation and fall back friend). Strange how so many taste so good then bam! A bad one. May be my tastebuds.
Oh, and while I am at it, The Plume Room's Banana Pudding, which is lovely and amazing fresh, does not have a long shelf life. I pulled it out to vape the other day and it is dark and thick and the banana flavor is gone and it tastes a little off. Past it's prime and not to be passed on. It died. Got it 6/14/13 and the expiration date is not until this coming June, but the juice is dead. Gone. I threw the bottle in the trash. The plastic bottle also felt a little squishy to me, not like when new. It was one of their smallest bottles, perhaps a sample. Did not last close to the year. Was stored in a dark place so not sure. I have had that happen to a couple of other puddings and custards over the months so maybe those flavors do not store well and need to be vaped quckly.
Anybody else find a short shelf life for puddings and custards and cake like flavors?
