Alice in Vapeland - Mind Toulouse



A green fairy vape,
A Moulin pair of lenses,
To tickle your mind,
And trick all your senses!





When Alice was released from the asylum, she had nothing to do, so she wandered into McDlyn's Pub & Bar. She ordered a glass of Green Fairy Absinthe. This tasty spirit was a radiant green liquid that was practically glowing and was illegal at the time. Alice downed one serving and then another. She became dazed within minutes. She then befriended a green fairy "whose eyes promised her that she could share and reveal all her darkest secrets and fears, as well as her brightest wishes." The next thing she knew, she was in an illuminated forest.

I fell down the rabbit hole again. I found myself in the very same forest. Someone handed me a bottle of Mind Toulouse. A small fairy charm was attached this bottle of crystal clear e-liquid. I opened the bottle and took a sniff. It smelled light and sweet and much like anise. 

Alice in Vapeland's Mind Toulouse is a light absinthe flavor e-liquid. Absinthe is believed to stimulate creativity.  It is made from ingredients such as aniseed, fennel, hyssop, and lemon balm in addition to smaller amounts of angelica, star anise, dittany, juniper, nutmeg, and veronica. These are mixed with wormwood and various other herbs that a manufacturer may choose to include in the blend. 

Like most absinthe based e-liquids, Mind Toulouse tastes a bit like licorice.  It is not a true licorice flavoring however. It is the anise that gives it a licorice-like flavor. Alice in Vapeland's Mind Toulouse is a light and delicate botanical blend. It produces huge amounts and delicious vapor and is quite refreshing to vape. 

Not everyone likes absinthe or anise based flavors.  It seems as though people either love them or hate them. If you happen to fall into the "love them" group, Mind Toulouse is one of the better light to mild strength absinthe flavors. Although it is light, it is very flavorful and tastes exactly like a good absinthe e-liquid should. If you are looking for a strong or bold flavor, or a true licorice, Mind Toulouse may disappoint you.  Mind Toulouse, like all AIV e-liquids, is best dripped. 



Alice in Vapeland - 11th Rose

"A lovely bouquet of flavor, full of smooth and velvety rolls of clouds . . . A musical medley of raspberry, rose, and lychee , plus a lovely dash of magic!"

*Formerly known as Lucky No. 11 and renamed at the request of many wonderful Vapelandians* - We reviewed this before as Lucky 11.  In honor of the new name, here we go again:

AIV - 11th RoseAh jeez, I fell down the hole again.  This time I landed in the croom.  The Madhatter approached and handed me a vape.  Some magical e-juice called Lucky #11.  I asked what was in it and he said, "Go ask Alice, I think she'll know." I was tired of chasing rabbits, in hopes of finding Alice, so I raised it to my lips and began to vape.

Oh, it smelled so good. Words can't describe it.  Like a sweet flower garden filled with bowls of sweet ripe fruit.  Raspberry, rose, and lychee to be precise. As I vaped this magical juice, giant clouds filled the air.

After the air cleared, Alice and the Cheshire Cat appeared. They offered me a pastry, Macaron Isahan. Funny thing, this pretty pink and red pastry tasted similar to this juice. Almond, rose cream made of lychee, fresh raspberries, white chocolate, heavy cream and rose syrup, topped with raspberries and pieces of lychee.

What a heavenly delight. Rich, smooth, and so subtly sweet. I fell in love with the Lucky #11 e-liquid.

Alice in Vapeland - Lavender Ever After

The subtle scent of lavender drew me back to the rabbit hole. Upon entering I was greeted by the Cheshire Cat who said, "Follow me.  Being that you enjoy my catnip, I thought you might like to try something new, fresh from the garden."

He led me to the croom.  Inside a caterpillar was sitting on a mushroom vaping a hookah. The scent of garden fresh lavender filled the room. He handed me a 7ml glass dripper bottle to take home with me. He advised me to be patient and let it steep.

Following his advice, I patiently waited several weeks to try this new treat. When the time came, I opened the bottle and once again smelled the aroma that first led me back to the rabbit hole.  I poured some into a tank and started to vape.

Creaminess.  Lavender creaminess.  What is this creaminess all about?  A quick trip to Alice's shop. Reading her product description, I learn that this delicious liquid is "A soft & creamy castle...of lavender gelato." Suddenly it all made sense.

Alice in Vapeland's Lavender Ever After is a delightful lavender flavored gelato e-liquid. Gelato is an Italian style ice cream made with milk, cream, sugar, in addition to any of a variety of different flavorings. It is very soft and contains a very small amount of air. The history of gelato dates back to ancient Rome and Egypt when frozen desserts were made from snow and ice brought down from mountaintops and preserved below ground.

Alice in Vapeland did a wonderful job perfecting this e-liquid.  Who other than those who reside in Vapeland would create a floral flavored gelato e-liquid.  If you enjoy delicate floral or botanical vapes, and like rich creamy ice cream, Lavender Ever After is a must!

Alice in Vapeland - Pun'kin Tumble

Fresh from the pumpkin patch, a tiny bottle of Pun'kin Tumble.


Alice in Vapeland - Pumpkin Tumble

"Rollin’ and tumblin’, Where did you go?
Oh where, oh where did my little Pumpkin roll?

A delightful pumpkin cake rolled into a sweet vape! "



This is no ordinary pumpkin e-liquid. Slightly sweet, this pumpkin flavored vape tastes like a rich and creamy pumpkin cheese cake loaded with spicy undertones. Infused with cinnamon, pumpkin spice and whipped cream on top, this complex flavor really rocks.

Loads of vapor to smell up the house. This is definitely a pumpkin vape like no other.  Creamy and smooth, absolutely delicious!

Sometimes it is said that Alice's e-juices are a little too subtle.  I am vaping this in a Pro Tank 2 on a Vamo 2. I find that if I cover one of the several air holes on the Kanger with my finger, the flavoring grows bolder. The "cakiness" really comes through when I do this.

What's not to like?  I vaped this tiny bottle of Pun'kin Tumble in no time flat. It's that good.  It is gone!!!! It was but a tiny sample added in with my most recent order.  If I had only known, I would have ordered a large bottle, as it is yummy good. "Rollin’ and tumblin’, Where did you go?"





Alice in Vapeland - Afternoon Tea


The Mad Hatter Takes a Cuppa Afternoon Tea
The Mad Hatter Takes a Cuppa
 by Wenchkin
As Alice would have us believe, "Afternoon Tea is the perfect blend for times when you feel like sitting with a hot cup of steamy black tea, with just a dab of cream. It’s wonderful to enjoy while taking a quiet moment to yourself, or while sharing the day’s tidings with good friends. Alice and her mixologists worked very hard developing this flavor, sampling “cup after cup”, to find the perfect recipe."

The mixologists in Vapeland sure know how to brew a good cup of tea. I've tried them all and find this to be the most flavorful of the bunch. Afternoon Tea tastes exactly like it should. Black tea with cream - simple as that.  How do they do it?

Afternoon Tea is mild, but not too subtle. It makes for a very pleasant vape. There is nothing exotic about it. It tastes just like a simple cup of black tea with a bit of cream. It's sweet and clean, and leaves no aftertaste. The more you vape it, the more you appreciate it. And talk about pillowy clouds of vapor.  Where's that Mad Hatter?  I need another cup!

  

Alice in Vapeland - A Quiet Morning


Hints of green tea and passion fruit . .

. . . to be enjoyed in absolute peace.



Alice in Vapeland e-liquid A Quiet Morningsubtly sweet 

subtle green tea inhale - passion fruit on the exhale

calming, relaxing

delicate
loads of vapor


Did I say loads of vapor?  Lots of vapor.  Clouds all over the place. Dreamy.

Ok, let's get serious.  I am not going to be able to make any comments about this being a "Quiet Morning" vape as I have almost finished the entire bottle (sample size).  There won't be any left by morning.  It looks like I will have to buy a big bottle as I seem to like it.  It reminds me of high end gourmet green tea.  Yes, gourmet green tea with passion fruit.  Delicious.  Ah, don't forget the cream.  Creamy and dreamy.

This is not a juice for those of you seeking out bold flavors.  It is very light and subtle, but definitely a very pleasant vape.  Do I detect a bit of honey? Hmmm....

A great vape for morning meditation.  Who vapes during meditation?  I do now!

Ahhh, vapin clouds all day  :-)


Alice in Vapeland - Cherry Blossom Tea


Alive in Vapeland Cherry Blossom Tea e-liquid
I ordered a sample of Cherry Blossom Tea as part of a sample pack.  The gang in Vapeland threw in a second bottle as a free sample.  I've finished both bottles.  I hate to say it, but I just can't taste the cherry and am not sure if I taste the green tea.  Cherry Blossom Tea is very subtle.  Too subtle for my taste buds.  I'm disappointed.  The description sounded so nice:

blossoms falling all around . . . like little hearts adrift
find my cup of tea to steep . . and soon my spirits Lift
Clouds of fresh off-the-tree cherry in cherry blossom green tea

It may be that my taste buds are still shot from smoking.  I've tried various voltages.  I've tried while sipping water.  I've tried it first thing in the morning. And yes, I let it steep. It must be me as I've looked at other reviews and it seems to be a five star flavor for the most part. Here is an example:

"Cherry Blossom Tea- green tea with cherry blossom. takes a while to steep! The cherry blossom is the dominant flavor in this one as well. I love it – it's fruity and floral and tastes like cherries and flowers. It makes me think of Japan and beautiful geishas in springtime in Kyoto." - cheesecupcakedeat

I will have to try it again some day, but for now I need stronger flavors.  If anyone else has tried it and wants to tell us about it, please feel free.

I think I have a case of Vapor's Tongue.  I can't even taste a glass of Chai Tea!

Alice in Vapeland - Zombie Apocalypse

"When all is a fog of Strawberry Cupcake-ness... You know there's Zombies in Vapeland!"

Alice in Vapeland Zombie Apocalypse e-liquid

I purchased a five bottle sample pack from Alice in Vapeland.  I chose four flavors and one "Alice's Choice."  When I received my vapemail, I discovered that Alice wanted me to try Zombie Apocalypse.  I had to roll my eyes and chuckle a little bit as Zombie Apocalypse is the last flavor in Vapeland that I would have chosen.  It's a strawberry cupcake blend and I am not a big fan of strawberry in any form.

I loaded some up in my tank and gave it a try.  Much to my surprise, I found that it is very good, though it did not taste like a cupcake to me.  The strawberry is ever so sweet and this juice produces a lot of vapor which is very pleasant and tasty if you hold it in and then slowly exhale.  It's definitely something you want to take your time with and enjoy.

Like I said, Zombie Apocalypse does not taste like a strawberry cupcake to me.  It tastes more like a strawberry shortcake.  You know, a spongy type cake smothered with strawberries and whipped cream.  That is what Zombie Apocalypse tastes like to me.

As with most custom e-juices, Zombie Apocalypse gets better with age.  This was a nice vape right out of the mailbox but after steeping a couple of weeks, it's awesome.  Even though I don't care for strawberry, I think I am going to buy a large bottle of this to keep on hand.   I have to thank Alice for choosing this for me as I would never have tried it otherwise.


Alice in Vapeland - White Rabbit



Alice in Vapeland White Rabbit e-juice
"May this Vapemail bring you much joy and pillowy clouds of of delicious wonders."

Oh yes.  Pillowy clouds of delicious wonders galore!  White Rabbit - I knew it was going to be special.  Delectable indeed!

I bought some brand new gear which arrived today.  I have been dying to try White Rabbit, but wanted to hold out until the new hardware arrived.  Today was the day.  Everything is charged up and I have been in vapor paradise ever since I filled my tank with AIV's White Rabbit.  Let me tell you, nothing beats that first hit.  What an impression it made.

Inspired and named by Morri, who was the winner of an Alice in Vapeland Flavor Contest,  White Rabbit rocks.  Yes, I said rocks!

Described as "curiously indescribable," White Rabbit is sweet, but not too sweet. It tastes like nuts are involved and maybe cake?  Is cake a flavor???  I am not a flavor expert, so I can't really describe what I taste.  Whatever it is, it is good.

Looking at reviews by others, it seems that people are picking up on flavors like nuts, butter,  butterscotch, coconut, creamy caramel, toasted coconut, macaroon, Indian spices, coconut curry, and even carrot cake.  The gang in Vapeland are keeping their lips closed. They have everyone guessing.

As for me, I don't care what is in it.  I like it.  I like it a lot.  I am going to order more!

Several days later - Once again, the first hit is the best.  I'm thinking Krispy Kreme donuts.  Chocolate iced Boston cream????




Alice in Vapeland - Cheshire Catnip

Yeah, I know,  they have all these marvelous flavors that taste like cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes and herbal teas, so what am I doing vaping catnip? 

Alice in Vapeland Cheshire Catnip e-liquidCatnip??????  Yes, catnip.  It is light and pleasant and produces huge clouds of vapor.  But what does it taste like?  Does it really taste like catnip?  I couldn't tell you as I have never consumed catnip before in any form. I tried blowing it in my cats face.  I figured if it aroused him then it must be catnip for sure.  He did seem interested.  He said "Mow."  (yes, he says "mow" instead of "meow"). 

Cheshire Catnip.  I love it.  This is one very unique e-juice. It is good with a nice cold glass of Sangria Senorial, a non-alcoholic sparkling beverage.  The two complement each other very well. I need something to keep my mouth hydrated as I don't seem to be able to put this catnip down. 

The flavor sneaks up on you.  As you inhale, you don't really taste anything, and then suddenly it's there.  You taste it.  It's refreshing and pleasant. It's neither sweet nor sour.  It reminds me of a delicate flower.  It has a pleasant after taste.  My mouth feels fresh and clean .

They describe it as  "Lightly frosted herbal-y spiced clouds of Cheshire Meow" on the AIV website. Maybe a touch of mint in there?  Hmm.  Peppermint, or maybe spearmint?  Its hard to tell as it is very subtle.  In any case, I like it.  I must, as I have be hitting on it for hours.  My battery is dead.






Alice in Vapeland

While meandering around the internet late last night I did a Google search on "Top Rated e-liquid sites."  Of course tons of stuff came up and much of it was very subjective.  There are lots of sites with "Top Rated" lists.  Few of them list their criteria so you have to read them all with a "take it with a grain of salt" approach.

Alice in VapelandOne site caught my eye, mainly due to its name - Alice in Vapeland.  I am partial to Alice in any land, so I decided to pay them a visit.  The first thing I did was check out their e-juice menu.  First on the list are two sampler packages, A Delectable Sampler and A Little Bit of Everything Sampler.  The difference between the two is the amount of liquid and the price.  A Delectable Sampler is one third the price of the A Little Bit of Everything Sampler and consists of your choice of any 5 juices.  These are 3 ml samples, by the way.  A Little Bit of Everything Sampler is a collection of 16 juices in 3ml bottles.



Ok, cool.  So what's on the menu?
  •  Afternoon Tea – a cup of steamy English tea with milk and sugar
  •  A Quiet Morning – green tea with passionfruit
  •  Black & White Cookie – a big black & white cookie!
  •  Crunkberry – your favorite cereal, with extra berries!
  •  Cupcake City – a delicious frostingy cupcake!
  •  Frost Blossom – a mandarin-menthol delight :)
  •  Lemon Loves Cake – mmmmm . . a slice of lemon poundcake!
  •  Mystic Mandalime – an exotic blend of lime and mandarin . . .
  •  Orange makes me Creamsicle – a cool creamsicle popsicle vape!
  •  White Rabbit – a curiously indescribable delight!
  •  Cherry Blossom Tea – clouds of fresh off-the-tree cherry in cherry blossom green tea . .
  •  Twas Brillig – warm clouds of blackberry crumble wafting from the oven . .
  •  Zombie Apocalypse – an attack of strawberry cupcake!
  •  Pun’kin Tumble – a delightful pumpkin cake rolled into a sweet vape:)
  •  April Moon – a smooth evening vape with blueberries, apricots, and puffs of moon . .
  •  Fifteen Foot Falls – roasted marshmallows, coconut frosting, and a toasty tobacco!
Yum, yum - very interesting.  I am not overly fond of fruit and dessert type liquids, but this menu seems it would be very appealing to those who are. As for me, I might go for White Rabbit and the various tea flavors.  White Rabbit is described as "…the curiously indescribable White Rabbit!" so this choice is because my curiosity has been aroused.  And hey, I like the song.  Back to the juice, reading the reviews, those who have tried it can't quite put their finger on it (other than nutty) but most really loved it.

Here is the deal, Alice in Vapeland is a small company that prefers to grow slowly in order to maintain their quality and integrity.  They started getting a lot of orders, so in order to keep things working in their best interest (quality), the chose to limit their sales.  If you want to place an order, the only time you can do it is Tuesday night.

From their FAQ:

"We open every Tuesday at 10:59pm EST and stay open about 12~24 hours. We know it’s very frustrating that we are closed so much and we know it is very difficult for busy folk to order when we are open so briefly every week. We understand and we thank you dearly for your patience and understanding! We just can’t take on too many orders, or we would not be able to ship everyone their vapemails in good time."

Ahh, last night was Tuesday and it was after 10:59 pm when I came upon their site.  I was tempted to place an order but did not want to rush into it.  I have quite a bit of liquid due to arrive in the mail this week, so I decided to slow down and wait. 

After visiting the site, I sought out reviews on other sites.  Now I am kicking myself for not placing an order!  Their packaging is totally unique and cool!  The packaging alone is worth the effort!  Take a look!

Ah but, they also carry a line of "oddity" liquids, like "Cheshire Catnip,"  -  I need time to check them all out, then decide.


Oh wait!!!!  They are open 12 to 24 hours!  Ok, I decided to give it a shot.  18ml of Cheshire Cat zero nicotine.  One  A Delectable Sampler - A Quiet Morning, Afternoon Tea, White Rabbit, Cherry Blossom Tea and Alice's Choice.  Stay Tuned, these will all be "The Flavor of the Day" at some point.
