This is their 50/50 mix at 12 mg.

Well, I don't know where to begin with this review.
But it won't take long.
This e liquid is just plain terrible. It tastes like it was made by an amateur. Reminds me of some of my own DIY :laugh:

I'm not sure what is in this stuff but apart from having no balance of flavors I can detect a chemical taste; perhaps it's just really bad flavoring. My Chocolate and Cream is far superior and I have no clue as to what I'm doing!

Steeping will not help this batch as there is obviously something amiss with the recipe.


I just got in 5 bottles of their e liquid and only one was passable.

I had hoped that Ahlusion would live up to it's reputation but sadly for me it has not.

Of the 30 or so Ahlusion juices I've tried, I must admit that the Chocolate Cream is nowhere near my favorite. Others though, love this juice. Taste is SO subjective. But feedback like this is crucial to your eventual experience with this vendor, and you have to love the owners ability to evaluate your palate based on your feedback and adjust your experience based on the feedback you provide. I have no doubt that your shared impressions will play a role in the juices you'll receive going forward.

Charlie, you need to steep most all Ahlusion juices with the cap off for the first 48 hrs; then continue steeping (as these are super-fresh juices created by professional flavor chemists) until the flavors have melded and matured. (For some lucky dogs, this is a matter of one week. For me, it is usually more like three! :laugh:)

Once they've matured to a "sweet spot" for you, they just keep getting better and better, albeit the change is less drastic. :ohmy:

Of course, it's entirely possible that particular flavor just isn't for you. (I can assure you there is nothing amiss with the recipe, unless whoever sent it to you added something to it. Ahlusion's Chocolate Cream is a huge favorite of many of their regular customers.)

I personally recommend their teas and tobaccos!

I can appreciate the fact that most juices need steeping but I am not overly confident that this will help with these juices.

NOW, I will be the first to admit that I may be wrong. It's happened once or twice before :D
They're in my wine refrigerator at 60 deg. and they will stay for a month.

If I am wrong I will return here and post accordingly.

It's been my experience that juices steep quicker when kept warm. A car's glovebox at the height of summer ought to work well, probably give results in a couple of days. (option currently available to Aussies and Argentinians)


Oh yikes, Max! I hate to disagree with you, but I think that would be way too hot for juice storage, and might well even ruin the juices! :(

I know some people try to accelerate the steep process with a quick (i.e., 15 minute) soak in warm water, but that's a whole different kettle of fish from just leaving bottles to cook for days/weeks inside a very hot car! :ohmy:

In my experience, I've discovered that Ahlusion and Heather's Heavenly Vapes benefit from steeping more than some of the other vendors I've tried. Of course it varies from juice to juice.

Moueix, how old is your chocolate cream now? I really wasn't getting much chocolate or much of anything from mine. After aging a couple weeks I tested a couple drops every week but nothing was happening. After a little over a month I figured any steeping was done but still set it aside to try on new atties as they enter my rotation. Never know when a certain atty brings out a flavor others don't. I am using just a regular old atty I've been using for a couple months but on a whim grabbed for the choc that has sat a few weeks since last try. When I opened it I was very suprised when hit with the smell of chocolate. Born on date of Oct 22 and now I can honestly say it's full on chocolate cream! Not a huge fan (rarely am with choc vapes) but it is a solid representation of it's name. Did my taste buds take a 360 or did the juice? I can't say for sure but my strong guess is that it was the juice. What was hinted at before is now front and center.

Hi Eleanor! :)

Well, there is the possibility that the cap could blow off, resulting in your car registration, owner's manual and various leftover ketchup packs being annointed with hot vape juice, but that's a risk I'm willing to have someone out there take.

:D

Seriously though, I doubt the car would get to more than 120°F even on a hot day in summer* and juice ought to easily withstand that much heat, even for a few days.
