In an endless search for great root beer flavored eliquid I came across this rootbeer float flavor at my local vape shop. I'd give you the back story but their website is currently down. I remember reading that they created it based on a root beer they really liked from a local craft brewery. You can read the story for yourself when their website comes back up if you like. On with the review...
I like it. It is a good tasting root beer with a bit of cream. I am by no means a cream huffing cloud chaser but I am not turned off by the cream finish or clouds this 70vg juice delivers. Personally, I would prefer they left the cream out altogether because I think it smoothes out the flavor a bit too much. The "rooty" flavors are strong... maybe a bit heavy on the licorice but it works for me. Not something I can vape all day but it remains in my rotation and I would recommend it to anyone searching for a decent rootbeer e-juice flavor.

Ahlusion E-Liquid Review
I the past couple of weeks I have tried some new e-liquid brands and figured its about time to share my thoughts again. Based on some favorable reviews and recommendations I decided to give Ahlusion e-liquids a try. I ordered 3 flavors and since my order was over $25 I also requested a free sample. The flavors I got were Cherry Cola, Apple Berry Splash, and Orange Creamsicle. The sample I requested was W&A Sasaparilla. I ordered 10ml size with a 50pg/50vg mix and 12mg nicotine.
AHLUSION CHERRY COLA is described as "A smooth and sweet Cola with a Cherry twist." That is a pretty accurate description. Mine was a little sweeter than normal since I added sweetner in my order. I enjoy cola e-liquids and this one tastes good straight out of the envelope The flavors were blended well, no need to let em steep. I did get more than a cherry twist though. To me the cherry flavor was a bit too strong but not in a way that ruined the liquid. I just prefer Cola to be the dominant flavor. All in all I was pleased with this e-liquid and went through the bottle in no time.
APPLE BERRY SPLASH is described as "A refreshing, naturally sweet and crisp Strawberry Apple blend." Once again the description is spot on. I love green apple e-liquid but since Ahlusion does not offer one I decided to give this a try. It is sweet and I get equal parts Strawberry and Apple. If you like your vapes sweet and fruity, give this a try. I have already ordered another bottle.
ORANGE CREAMSICLE is described as "A sweet all natural Creamsicle flavor." I don't know if that is an accurate description. After reading a bunch of great reviews I was really excited to give this a try. The orange flavor is very powerful and not very natural tasting. It is an intense orange which overpowers any creamy flavors in this blend. Maybe I am just not a fan of orange vapes because this tasted nothing like a creamsicle to me.
W&A SASPARILLA No flavor description here but you have to assume they are going for A&W Root Beer. This was my sample flavor I requested and they sent a full 10ml bottle. THANK YOU! When I first got it the root beer flavor was very noticeable but as time went on it faded into more of a Cola with a hint of Root Beer. I'm not mad. I love it both ways! This may not satisfy those looking for an intense Root Beer flavor but I find it crisp and enjoyable. One of my current favorite e-liquids.
(for a more traditional root beer flavor see my BWB review)
As mentioned above I have placed a second order with Ahlusion and will post a review/update soon. Ordering from their website is easy, shipping is fairly quick and a full size (10ml) sample for orders over $25 is just plain awesome!

Backwoods Brew - E-Liquid
I was online looking for a good ROOT BEER E-Liquid and kept coming across recommendations for a brand called Backwoods Brew. I decided to check em out and ordered 3 flavors to sample - Root Beer, Cola and Applewood. All 3 were 70pg/30vg (their default mix. no other options available) and i went with 12mg nicotine.
Ordering was easy and the shipping was quick and painless. The packaging is nothing special. The labels look like something they made on their office printer but its whats inside that matters so on with the reviews...
Backwoods Brew Applewood is described as a full flavor tobacco with a slightly sweet and crisp finish. Maybe I got a bad batch because I get none of the above. I get more of a Turkish style sweet tobacco with a side of perfume. I do not get smoked apple or anything even close. I have tried the juice fresh out of the box and also after steeping for a week and for me this flavor does not work. I can only assume my order was off because there are a bunch of great reviews for this flavor on the BWB site.
*UPDATE: After letting this flavor steep for another week or two I have gone back and tried it again and the flavor is MUCH better. The perfume flavor has almost completely gone away and the tobacco and hints of apple flavoring have really developed. I will have to do a post on the subject of "steeping" e-liquids in the near future.
Backwoods Brew Root Beer is described as a delicious and true flavoring with a generous throat hit. That is a pretty accurate description. I like drinking root beer and now I also enjoy vaping BWB root beer flavor. It tastes like a good sip of root beer. Maybe a little on the sweet side similar to a fountain soda that is a little high on the syrup. I thought the flavor was excellent straight out of the box and maybe even got a little better as it aged. It is not something I can vape all day but it is definitely enjoyable and I will purchase again. NOTE: I went with the 12mg nicotine level. I may have to try the 18mg next time because I don't really get the generous throat hit they mention in the description.
Backwoods Brew Cola is described as Crisp and clean taste like the old fountain sodas. Easy to vape. Simple and delicious with extra vapor. This description is pretty accurate. It reminds me of slightly flat Coca Cola. As far as cola liquids go, they pretty much hit this one on the head. Being a fan of Coca Cola in the past, I would consider this flavor crisp and delicious. I don't know what they mean by "extra vapor" though. Seems about the same as the others. Out of the 3 Backwoods flavors I sampled, I would give this one the highest ranking. I have been vaping it daily and will definitely purchase again.
