Ahlusion E-Juice Part 3

Wow, that got answered quickly! And annoyingly.

So only Gold members will still be able to shop. Others would be up that creek. That means no new customers and no 'casual' samplers. I'm guessing people could team up and place large orders under one person's Gold membership. But that indicates it's all going to be white label and their own stores. Jeepers. To me, the creepiest part of that is them thinking we're 'taking it out of proportion!'

Sorry. Double post that I can't delete.

Gah. I've been ordering as much as I can with every feedback coupon (which isn't much - broke vaper problems lol!) and responding to every feedback e-mail in attempts to make that status. If I ever did, I'd be happy to help those who needed it. If I don't, (depending on how much time is left) maybe I could find a gold member to help me at least retain copious amounts of LVC

You know I love A+ juices...the majority of my juices are from them, but with that kind of attitude from them, it makes me want to go elsewhere! I've ordered tons from them, but still am not a gold member, so because they just arbitrarily award that status anyway, yes I know it's tied to feedback, which I do, but apparently it hasn't done the trick yet, so I guess I'm definitely going to have to start looking for my favorite juice again...to say that I'm highly disappointed in this decision and in how it will be implemented is an understatement!

I have NEVER done a feedback and I have Gold Status. It is based on your purchases. Email Wlad and see if all your purchases so far qualify.

Considering that I just completed my Final Ahlusion Favorites list, and hopefully I am not taking this out of context; I am joining you in this disappointment.

I second New2Vaps: take a few minutes and estimate what you've spent. Send them an email and ask for Gold status. I got it rather quickly - I did spend a lot over a short period of time, and I did send feedback every time, but I don't see why they wouldn't want to keep good customers. Of course, that implies we have any idea what they're doing.

Well apparently over a $1000 in less than a year is not enough! ...Not sure if I even want to bother emailing him...would probably just end up getting a reply that would tick me off even more!

I agree, and it just means looking elsewhere again, I guess. I thought I was over that...

I'm in the same boat. Evidently spending four figures since the beginning of the year (I'd have to check receipts before that) doesn't make the cut.

I agree about the seemingly arbitrary way the status is awarded.....as if it wouldn't be discussed among us.

I wonder if they will be selling on Giant Vapes or the like. I have a favorite that I used to buy on the maker's site......they stopped selling directly a few months back and their product is now sold by Giant Vapes. The 30ml price went up $4. I have to buy 120ml bottles to get the same price I previously got on 30mls. Oh,well.

Beat me to it!

 

[jrenae4]

You can go to your order history and add up all you've spent.

 

[Skeebo]

Whelp, I guess I'm going to have to break down to one tank of A+ a week now.. that way I can make my current supply last till I croak.

 

[Mazinny]

Well I'm absolutely baffled by a recent email from Wlad himself. This too was in regards to Smooth Criminal's drastic change and completely different flavor from somebody who used it as their number 1 ADV. I've sent messages back and forth the last week and was sent out a new batch that was just a bit sweeter and again was disappointed that I no longer have my favorite juice. It gets better....and by saying that I mean worse! lol.

Here is a reply I just read a few minutes ago that most of you may find a bit shocking. This is word for word copy and paste from my email.

So does this mean they are just branding their juice and having others sell it for them? Or stopping their online business in total. Just doesn't make sense to build a brand and piss it away like this. I'm so upset I should probably let you guys chew on this while I figure out where to buy some new juice.

Let me see if i can follow this line of logic

"Tons of people complained about long steep times ... therefore, we developed methods to arrive at intended target taste with minimal steeping .... which was met with an overwhelmingly positive feedback from the majority of our customers .... which led to decreased overall on-line demand ... which is cool, cuz that's what we wanted all along, since we will be stopping on-line sales soon anyway " oh unless you are a Gold member.

Thank you Mazinny for the Smile today.

Really glad that I was not raising a Coffee to my Lips.

 

[nicetucu]

Maybe it's reverse psychology lol. If Smooth Criminal was what it used to be I would be totally freaking out at this point. Ahlusion is not the only juice vendor I deal with and really there is so many good ones out there. Just the whole trial and error juice binges once again plays havoc on one's pocketbook. This exclusive marketing scheme "as it will now be called" may backfire on them.

Hey let's stop online sales to the regular folk and being that our stores are situated in one of the poorest parts of the nation I think we'll do well.

On the other hand Wlad is not stupid, so perhaps he is going to franchise stores all across the country or cash out before the FDA gets involved. Only time will tell and sorry for my earlier post if I broke any rules. My only defense is it was really late and I was so shocked in what I was reading. Enough said.

I'm not a gold member. I would order SC in bulk every couple of months is all. That is all I really loved from them.

Online sales were going to be stopped before the new website. We keep reminding everyone that Ahlusion is a wholesale company. ECF has even said that they don't qualify to be a member since they are a wholesaler. So even if they did want to join, the rules disqualify them.

I'm glad to hear that Gold Members will still be able to order! I wasn't expecting that so it is very good news. Gold member status has to be added manually so PLEASE send them an email and ask if you qualify!! I believe that Wlad is the only one that applies it but I could be wrong. There isn't anything that pops up to show him that someone qualifies and with all the things he has to do I bet he doesn't have time to look at accounts very often. Ahlusion never wanted to be a large online retailer. I can't help but feel partially responsible since Ahlusion has never liked us talking about their juice in forums. But it's really hard to not talk about something that you enjoy so much! There was a long period of time when they just quit accepting new customers. Remember all the complaints and terrible posts then? I wonder if they'll even let us keep our topic going?

When they started the new website Wlad had to manually go in and add everyone's status. He asked that if your status wasn't correct to let him know and he would fix it. I don't see this to be any different. Just fill out the contact form and ask if they would please check your account to see if you qualify for Gold Member status.

This really sucks! I hate the thought of not being able to introduce new people to Ahlusion. Maybe they'll have a list of online retailers that carry their juice?

Bucket, i have heard this about Ahlusion for a long while, but what i don't find anywhere are specifics. I am not questioning the accuracy of the reports, but do you happen to know what exactly they are wholesaling ? Is it the finished juice ? Could any one point to another Brick and Mortar or on-line retailer that sells Ahlusion brand e-liquid, or is it sold under a different ( or many different ) brand name(s) ? Could you even sell the same juice under different brand names ?

Or are they a boutique flavor house that wholesales flavorings to different vendors to use in their own formulations. In which case there would be no overlap between these vendors' e-liquid and the Ahl brand e-liquid. If this is the case, then they really have two separate businesses ; 1- wholesaler of flavorings. 2- retailer of e-liquid.

edit : why would ECF say that Ahl is not qualified to be an on-line vendor, while at same time accept Halo and Virgin Vapor, who are better known wholesalers and sell their e-liquid through dozens if not hundreds of B&M's and on-line sellers ? Not that i think the answer to this question is relevant, but i believe the whole Ahl wholesale angle is used too often to explain away their inconsistent ( in my view anyway ) decisions on the retail level.

 

[nanusic]

I am suddenly feeling extremely ill, due to the content of the past few posts! I have been primarily vaping Ahlusion for over a year now! I know that there are many great vendors available, but, I have been completely satisfied with this one company!
And, to discover that the formula for some of my favorite flavors are being modified to make "everyone" happy, (no patience required!!) well, I'm just $%÷#$@$€£# £=€$&#/!!!
I guess that about covers it................!:blink

 

[Bukket5]

I've been using an evic, mvp2, and the original protanks for so long now. I'd appreciate some hardware recs for an ugrade. I have a kayfun but decided I don't care for RBAs. I'm fine with factory coils. Thoughts on the aerotank mega? Was thinking of pairing that with the vaporshark rdna 40.

The AeroTank Mega and GeniTank Mega are great! I get the new upgraded coils and it has the best taste of any coil tank I've tried. I even bought a regular sized GeniTank. The new airflow is awesome! It works so much better. I bought a couple of ProTank IIs and don't use them. They just don't give me the flavor of my juices.

I have a Nautilus and I don't like the flavor from it. The only juice I like in it is Ahlusion Mocha. I tried my Pineapple Cream in it and poured it right back out. The GeniTank Mega is my favorite because of the shape but they all give the same great flavors. I like them so well I have 5 of them now. I still love my carto tanks but these are so much easier to use. I keep my most vaped flavors in them so I don't have to constantly fill and change a carto.

Uncanny since this is where I got mine from.

This was a Great Deal with the modern BVC Nautilus (2 BVC Coils included) and 2 additional Coils. Received mine last Friday and it was Authentic.

Ahlusion flavors that are proving difficult with Cartos is the Lemon Cream and Lime Cream.

I don't have any trouble with Lemon or Lime in the Boge slotted cartos. I do have problems if I use the 2 hole cartos.

Am I the only one who thinks the nautilus bvc coils are a bunch of hype? The ceramic irritates my throat. Tried some bdc coils and they are just meh. I really expected the nautilus to be some mystical magical amazing vape and it's just...a tank. Of course I filled it up with caramel pear white tea so I'm just getting through this. Frankly I get better flavor off the PT3. I want to try some of those air controller bases Chanel! I'll have to look those up. Aaaaand I still need to learn to rebuild my reo Lol I'm such a chicken..

You'll love the new airflow controller! Does the PT3 use a dual coil? The updated coils with the wicks inside are really nice. Terrific flavor.

SAPPHIRE!!
Was in my mailbox when I got home. Tasted on an HH357 1.5 ohm at ~10 watts. 50/50 and 12mg, just like New2Vaps mix. I really like New2Vaps bubble gum analogy. It is very juicy but not what I think of as candied. When I think of candy, I think sweet. Sweet it is not! It is juicy as all get out and pretty darn intense.LOVE the tartness.

Whatever they did to their blueberry, they could do to all their fruit flavors imo, and make a whole "gem" series. Very flavorful. I'm hoping that this doesn't mellow with steeping like the Grapevine and Sasparilla did by losing that "fizz" sensation. Those were juices I really liked foob but not so much after steeping.At first blush, this goes near the top of the short list of must haves!

I just ordered it! Can't wait to try it. I got an order the other day with my large bottle of Caramel Pear White Tea. It is so good! I tried the Orange Blossom White Tea but all I taste is mint. Haven't bothered to taste the Raspberry White Tea since I'm afraid it will be the same.

My order contained something super special and it is amazing!! I had sent in feedback and mentioned something that I thought would be great. Got an email from Wlad saying it would be in my order and also got an additional feedback coupon! Made my day.

Caught a sale today (17% off plus a feedback coupon) and restocked all my faves. Plus a large bottle of Strawberry Shortcake! Finally tried it and it is so good. Mr. Mann was so right about it being amazing.

If I could only have 5 juices it would have to be Ahlusion Chai Latte, Mango Lassi, Pineapple Cream (sweetened), Lemon Cream, and Sweet Surrender. I could vape happily forever as long as I have those flavors. These are the ones that I have to keep 2 60mls in stock or I panic.

I don't detect even a hint of mint in my Orange Blossom White Tea and can't recall anyone else mentioning it either. Might want to check with Ahlusion about the mint.
