Now to be completely fair to TV, the AC i tried came from the PIF thread, I did not buy it new and fresh. It could have been old, it could have been cut with pg or vg or it could have been mixed with another flavor. I dont know. I know the AC i used was a redish color. It had a cherry taste as well which is where i could have gotten the sweet taste from. I have been tempted to buy the AC fresh myself, but can not justify buying 30mls for a taste test. So, that being said, thats what i found when i did a side by side taste test.

I received AC from TV last week. It was a faint yellow color. Are you sure about what you received?

Bolding is mine.

Not really originally AC was red in color. TV changed I think to keep as much coloring out of his juice as possible, so now the recipe he uses it comes out clear.

I just don't want the seller of this juice (whom ever it may be) to get a bad rap, it may just be older juice, and the seller did not adulterate it. The original juice is very good too.

That explains it... Disregard my prior post.

Honestly I think Atomic Cinnacide is repulsive. Way too sweet and candylike. When people tell me they can't vape it all day I would think they mean because it's too sweet. The cinnamon is strong, I like that at least. The throat hit is pathetic if you ask me. I have no idea where everyone that says the throat hit is hardcore is getting that from. The AC I bought was 20% VG and 24mg. BTW I have tried Red hots from DIYFlavorshack which is a really good balanced cinnamon vape. Ac is just too sweet and lacks throat hit and it's way overrated if you ask me. Now Tastyfinger is another story ;)

Am I sure? no. Thats why i described it. I was trying to be honest and did say i didnt order it directly from TV.

The sample of AC (or whatever it was) that i received has a reddish color. It was hand written and not an actual label. Hell it could have been some DK cinnamon labeled as TV.

The only reason I wanted to put that out there is because the labelled AC i tried was weak, sweet cherry like and the cinnabomb is just BAM.

Now if someone has a small carto worth of AC that would like to trade for some cinnabomb, I am all about that, just to see. If I get the AC and it rocks, I will say so. As of now, the "AC" i did receive was lacking. Maybe someone at vapefest will have an AC sample i can try.

I will say that i believe geoff puts out a good product, just based on the fan base he has for his liquids. I am not trying to take anything away from him or TV.

I've also gotten a sample of AC from someone on PIF and it was reddish.. but I highly trust the person I got it from.. so it must have just been the old recipe from what I'm reading here. I liked it alot when I first got it.. but now it tastes like plastic. I have some cinnbomb on the way so we'll see what that has to offer :)
Oh and yeah cinnamon burns skin.. I spilled an entire dram of red hot cinnamon flav on my bare legs and they turned red and burned for about a day. Not cool.

As for cinnamon oil, if one of the other ladies on this forum could confirm this I would appreciate it.

I thought one of the "lip plumper" lipsticks I tried has cinnamon oil in the ingredients list. I've given up on my pencil line lips so now I'm not sure, must have been 3 or 4 yrs ago that I tried this stuff. But, I could swear for some reason I have cinnamon oil in my head as a lip plumper.

Also, peppermint and spearmint can be a skin irritant. When my daughter was about 2 yrs old I was making something with one of those oils, and went up the stairs to wash my hands.(no sink in the room I was in) She was following so I did the stupid thing and held her hand. Within a could of minutes she had red hives all over her arms. So glad I was going to wash my hands so I would get any on the "baby". (not one of my better parenting moments)

Well it has been a few days of Vaping A/C verses CB.

Honestly, I think they are too close to say one is better than another.

For Me, A/C is a tad Sweeter and might have just a little less kick that CB. It seems to have more after taste than CB. Where CB has a little more punch upfront.

I would be hard pressed to choose a winner between the two on taste. But I have to give TV the nod because of their very reasonable priced Doubler. It gives the DIYer a lot of flexibility in mg level and custom mixing.

I also like the fact that I now have A/C doubler that I blend into another juice like Cherry.

So I think I would say that on taste it is a tie. But on overall price with the doubler, I give the Gold Medal to A/C.

Yikes !!!

:ohmy::p:laugh::unsure::ohmy:

My husband listens to Howard Stern on Sirius radio. Apparently one of the guys switched to e-cigs. This exact thing happened to him, he had juice on his hands and went to the bathroom to do his thing. Apparently his thing hurt so bad he made a trip to the Dr. Kinda funny to me since I'm a girl.
 
Well thanks to ZoiDman, I received a sample of AC 48mg and a doubler. I mixed them evenly for a 24mg mix. I had just recived a new bottle of cinnabomb as well, so both juices are new and fresh. I let them both sit for about 4 days or so before doing the head to head.

I would like to say real quick, that the sample of AC i got this time is in fact yellowish in color and not reddish like I tried before. I tried both flavors at 5v and 6v.

AC- 24mg, 65pg/35vg
CB- 18mg, 50/50

TASTE-

CB- Strong hot cinnamon flavor, from the inhale to the exhale, this stays a constant flavor-hot cinnamon. Of the 2, this one wins in the heat contest. This is exactly what I expect when I order a hot cinnamon flavor. This is the same exact, homemade cinnamon toothpicks I used to make in middle school, wrapped in foil and sold for $1 ea. Great memories!
10/10

AC- While not as strong of a cinnamon taste, its is a bit more complex. Theres a definite cinnamon flavor, but there is also a sweetness to it, that I actually enjoyed. I want to say almost a cotton candy type flavor, but dont think thats quite accurate. Whatever it is, its good. Actually a lot better than the sample I tried before. This is actually one flavor that I would possibly think about ordering again, which is saying a lot, because I only use VB liquids. If I were to stray, this would be what I strayed to.
10/10

VAPOR PRODUCTION

CB- At a 50/50 mix, there is just clouds of vapor, at both 5 and 6v.
10/10

AC- While the clouds of vapor were not as thick as the CB, there was plenty of vapor production to satisfy most people. I am one that has to have and see the vapor.
10/10

THROAT HIT

*** of all the qualities found in all juices, this one is the least important too me.

CB- The strong cinnamon is like a punch in the throat, especially at 6v. This is the only flavor that has actually choked me and made me cough.
no rating because i just dont care about TH.

AC- The TH from AC is great as well. While not as hard hitting as the CB, it still packs a punch.
no rating because i just dont care about TH.

OVERALL

CB- This still remains one of my favorite flavors from VB. Sometimes I have to put it down for a while because it kills the taste buds, but I always end up coming back to it. From the first time I tried it, I have always had some on hand. Its just one of my favorites.

AC- I was pleasantly surprised this time. The sample I received has given me a new found respect for what seems to be one of the favorite all days vapes for a lot of the members here. While I did like the CB version better, this is the one flavor that I could see myself actually straying and buying again.

***and as a side note, usually when I get flavors from other vendors, I try them and then pass them along. I will keep the AC and vape all of it.

I have been struggling with a way to describe the difference between CB and A/C. I like the “bit more complex” description.

I would agree that A/C is a tad sweeter but there are some subtle flavors in it also that I can’t quite put my finger on.

For me, they are too close to say which is best judged only on tatse.
 
a/c tastes like it has cherry in it to me, also very sweet, maybe too much pg for me also.

i've only tried 2 tasty vapor flavors and both were just yuk. (what a waste, no samples, yes for another thread)

cina-bomb is much better in my opinion, it tastes like the hot toothpicks (without the wood)

cb is the only oily juice i have, not sure if all that oil is good for an atty but it sure tastes good.

if anyone has some cb they don't like i'd be happy to trade some a/c for it :)

this is a good description, cb is like pure cin oil and a/c is some kinda cin/cherry/sugar blend to me
