    Is ahlusion really worth all the grief

    Dear Mr Kropotkin, I ordered my juice two weeks ago. I remain bereft. What kind of outfit are you running, anyway? You said this would work, well ha, ha, someday the world is going to be completely dominated by sensible capitalists who know how to do business properly. Take your over-hyped...

    Is ahlusion really worth all the grief

    (Just to maybe balance the self-lacerating torture picture, my daughter just said to me, "Huh? I just placed my first order, easy shmeazy." I think the express stuff, which is the same juice, just popular flavors, is pretty zippity also. Just as juice can hyped, so can difficulties.)

    Is ahlusion really worth all the grief

    The first time I tried to order from Ahlusion they were slammed - there was a lively thread about them in here and a lot of appreciation and scramble was going around. I was irritable too when I couldn't place the order right away. It took a long time coming, too - couple of weeks. I was used to...

    Simple & Strange Things I've Learned on ECF

    By my 3rd month I had about 65 808s. What did I know? And they were sooooo cool. Many colors. Etc. God, I'd almost forgotten all that. So, don't think you need 65 batts right off the bat either. :) :)

    Ever had a juice you just couldn't make yourself vape?

    Yes. A Cotton Candy that I think was just straight Ethyl Maltol. Ptooh, ptah, blech, ick, Pppppppppppppppt. :)

    Have you vaped These ahlusion juices?

    I love Boba Tea, Bananas Foster and Caramel Pear Black Tea. The others are on my wish list - do try the Strawberry and Blueberry cakes, the amazingly good Tirimisu, the Pineapple Upside Down Cake, The Tarte Tatin, and... I won't go on. Ahlusion IMHO makes the best version of familiar tastes...

    "Steeping" why? and how?

    "The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn’t really anything the matter with them,—that is, nothing...

    Favorite "High Quality" Juice Vendor

    Ahlusion. Extremely high quality ingredients, lovely stuff.

    Top 5 vendors (e-liquid)

    Yeah, what Mr Mann said. I've never noticed the difference steeping makes in such a huge way until Ahlusion. And some of those flavors are actually... erm, startling pre-steeped (I'm not talking NETS, either - just friendly dessert-y flavors). I think people must think that Ahlusion folks are...

    Can't decide on vendor?!?!....opinions please

    I'm just all over Ahlusion at this point, for me it just can't be equaled, but of the many juices I've tried Highbrow and Kickbass (KBV is great for sweets and they have a great butterscotch) are ties for second place, both really excellent. I think Plume Room does a good job, too. I've been...

    Vendors you love who..

    Ditto re KBV and Highbrow - those two should not fade from memory. Both mix very good juices and both offer absolutely terrific customer service. KBV for all manner of sweets and bakery and Highbrow for the incomparable Limoncello, which had a lot of press in here at one point, and other...

    You all saving lots of money rebuilding your own coils?

    Pet owners: do you vape indoors?

    Here ya go. If you're too busy to follow the link, it describes a legit 1947 (!) study in which monkey's and rats were exposed to a HEAVY fog of PG 24/7 for an extended period of time. Absolutely no ill effects at all. http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/91/1/52.abstract My dog lifts her...

    What the hell happend to The Darwin

    Valuable antique ecig gear - never thought I'd see the day. It's oddly heartening, even if the technology is still new. :)

    Jameson's, Midas, other higher end juices

    Can we establish what distinguishes a high end from a low end juice on the basis of anything besides cost? Or it being someone's preference (which every line can claim)? I only ask this because I fear we're inviting a justification for escalating prices without any clear criteria. Not bashing...

    Vaping is about to make me catch a DUI!

    Yeah, I'm no prude but a child was killed in my family because of a drunk driver. It gets very real very quickly. Never funny.

    Looking for an orange/peach & cream flavor

    Highbrow's Orange de Sangre is, IMHO, a wonderful orange... but it's not particularly creamy. Still, orange seems to be a hard one to get right and Highbrow's very open to customer requests - they might be able to mix you up something.
