Went to make a payment on my cc today and looked over statement. I got hit for $49.95 by some health food herbal tea outfit in Florida on 6/24. That was 3 days after my last Ahlusion order. That Ahlusion order was the only time I used that credit card in over a month. So, I am wondering if it came from Ahlusion's cc processor? I asked the cc company and they can not tell me anything now. They said they will look into it and reversed the charge and are issuing me a new card and #. Screwed up my holiday shopping. At least I caught it.

So, check your accounts. This is the first time I got hit. I got through the holidays just fine.

Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend.
I have a credit card I just got for ecig purchases only due to all the fraud going around and I just looked and it was hit. It has only been used once and that is at Ahlusion so it has to be their CC processor.

Forgive me if this has been covered....but the Ahlusion states they do not recommend using Devil Dog in a Cartomizer/tank...so what would I use it in?​






Hmm, i didn't read this, and loaded up a tank. I believe the reason might be that it gunks up your coil something terrible. I noticed that halfway through the tank the quality and quantity of the vape diminished. Same with Blue Grass Burley. I had to take out the coil in my rebuilt pt and dryburn and re-wick. I would guess a tensioned microcoil might not be the best option with these types of liquid. Spaced wrapping of the wire might work better.

I supposed the answer would be a dripper.

a dripper or I use Evods. I rebuild the coils and wick with cotton so easy to dry burn and rewick. Kayfuns are also popular. just about anything you can clean and rewick regularly.

pardon the typos, on my phone :)

...

I just checked my statement. My Schwab Visa was not hit and my last Ahlusion purchase was the same day as yours. I've not had any of the common charges from past frauds either. However, someone swiped a card with my number at an advertising agency in Spain last month. Fortunately Schwab phoned me within minutes.

I expected that Ginger Orange Oolong and Cranberry Autumn would be refreshing summer vapes and neither has disappointed. I've really been loving them after a two week steep.

My bank just finished their investigation into my latest fraudulent transaction, and they are certain the compromise was to Visa itself and not from merchant CC processors. This particular breach started at the end of June, so it might take Visa a few weeks to notify customers.

On a better note, I'm still enjoying the heck out of my Tarte Tartin Apple. It's about 3 weeks steeped now and has developed into something magical.

Doesn't explain mine since it is a Master Card

Before someone thinks I am blaming Ahlusion I am not, I am blaming their CC processor. It is an industry wide problem. E-cig vendors are considered "high risk" and the only processors they can get are crappy. "High risk" means that they are at a higher risk of fraudulent activity compared to other companies. This is biggest reason why anyone buying form E-cig vendors should have a card that is not linked to their bank accounts.

I haven't had a $49.95 charge but my Master Card card # was stolen in early June. It was a small charge, someone used it on Facebook.

I used my card at Ahlusion and gotvapes. I think it can be stolen anywhere even when swiping it somewhere. I wish something would be done to stop it.

I know some people by gift cards to shop online? Ahlusions website says they don't take gift cards. Or is that something different?

I use gift cards. I buy the visa or mastercard gift cards you can put $100-500 on. I put my budget on the card. You have to register the card with your address (I get them at Walmart so site is for Walmart gift cards). No bank account link, no social security or anything. When I end up with $1-5 dollars left on the card I just use it at a regular local store then destroy the card. No problems ever and can't get to a bank.

pardon the typos, on my phone :)

Ahlusion will take Walmart Gift Cards? That would solve the problem for me if that is so. I am very careful with the sites I do business with. Very few and not very often, except for Ahlusion. I am generally a cash type of girl. If I can not pay cash for it, I do not buy it. Keeps me out of trouble, in many instances. Like the ooh I have to have that right now 'itis' I get.

I am finally done trying all the Ahl flavors i had ordered. The last three were CWW, Smooth Criminal and LFR.

Smooth Criminal- Definitely a smooth vape. A little sweetness to it. A hint of raisins or plums or cherries or something ( not quite sure :) ). It's quite nice, but i wasn't blown away by it. Reminds me of an HHV blend ( Sludge maybe ).

CWW- This one far exceeded my expectations. Haven't been a fan of caramel in eliquids, but this one is different. Absolutely exceptional. I am quite stunned that i liked it as much as i did, and even more so that i preferred it to SC.

LFR- This one met my expectations, which were quite high thanks to Eleanor. I was excited about trying this one, and i wasn't let down. Best coffeee i have ever tried, pure and simple. Might not be to the taste of those who like their coffee sweet, or with caramel or butterscotch etc... but if anyone was looking for a pure coffee vape, not sure you can do any better.

Mazinny, how long a steep did you do on these? The Smooth Criminal changes a lot for me with around 5 weeks steep. I like it better the longer it steeps. The Caramel Wild Wood has the caramel more prominent when fresh. The caramel recedes quite a bit as it gets older. So you may want to put a bit of the CWW aside so you can see how you like it steeped and vape the portion you love now before the caramel fades. It takes several weeks for the fading but I do not know how it will be for your taste.

I have not tried the Light French Roast yet. It is on my long list.

All three were delivered on June 23rd i believe and i vaped them yesterday and today, so about two weeks i'd say. I have about 1.2 liters of juice currently including about 300 ml of Ahl, and i rotate frequently, so i don't expect to run out of any of the flavors anytime soon. I'm not the type to just vape one flavor until it runs out, regardless of how much i love it. I would expect to have CWW five weeks from now to compare :)

I am done ordering juice til 2015 !

Actually i lie, i will likely order 60 ml of LFR with my coupon code, which should be coming any day now, but that's the only exception !
