Ahlusion E-Juice Part 3

[Sirius]

Hmmmmmm... There's some kind of hidden code to your words. I'm going to go sync up my Led Zepplin album to the Wizard of Oz and try to figure this one out.

If you still have a turntable Black Sabbath on 78 would be a more promising path to synchronicity. lol

Coco Berry Cream is fine FOOB, but it comes together within a couple of days. A week should be plenty. You should try it! (Although after a couple of months, it's even better, but it's not a day/night change).

For now my top 5 are the only Ahlusion I'm ordering. I am saving and can't try any new one minus a sample. I'll just count on you Lisa and a few more that are not a part of the......nah won't even say it. Oh why not, Ultimate Enablers of AHL. Ha!

I sent a reply to a feedback email this morning. Just a rave comment on the flavors I received (reorders and a sample of Banana Cream pie) and about 20 mins later had a reply from Ally thanking me for my input. So they are certainly there and listening (reading)

pardon the typos, on my phone

Wow, trying to stay abreast of all the mish-mash is exhaustive. Although fun and sometimes hilarious.

You know that niggling feeling that you get sometimes?

I'm getting a niggling feeling about all these sales. Like, maybe it's so we all stock up before they end online retail?

Have you noticed that the thing about why my juice tastes different than my friend's juice isn't on the website any longer?

And the house blends are gone now.

Yeah...niggling feeling, spidey sense, women's intuition. It worries me that there was no warning about the house blends going away - will one day the site just no longer be available for us to buy from with no warning? Do I need to be stocking up? Just things I'm asking myself.

The industry is and will be changing for sure. There is no doubt about that. There will be a great deal of consolidation going on. In the short term there will be more eliquid vendors popping up, but in the medium term ( 3 to 5 years down the road ), a lot of them will close shop, some will be purchased by big tobacco, and only a few will survive as a stand alone business imo.

What Vlads plans are, i don't know, but i am certain he won't be able to survive as a vendor with 200 different flavors and a great deal of customization.

Prices will continue to go down, as the quality of juices from other vendors improve. The less popular juices will likely go out of production as well, so if some of your favorite juices are among the less popular ones, you might consider stocking up.

My suspicion, without rumor or forum input is...
With GOVERNMENT lookong down your product pipe, one may re-examine the products and reduce based on low volume sales, very similar ingredients or just number that will eventually need crippling documentation in order to continue production.
Just a SWAG.

So with that I ordered MORE GOODIES as replenishment items for the fantastic flavors I already love. as in...
Smooth Criminal
Vecchio Blend
Lemon Sunrise
Lime Cream and
Limelight

I already have back ups to my other faves. So, Backup early - Backup often

I seem to remember our good friend Y CHERRY Y going to Swartz Creek and posting that Ahlusion has an abundance of XPress jooses just waiting for the chance to be posted to a deserving home. I think it only good business practice to have an abundance ready to go into a mailer. That being said I guess it only natural to be afraid of doom coming upon us with all of the FDA threats out there.

Caramel Wild Wood is good fresh. It is good one year later. It is good in the morning, noon, or night. In the rain, in the snow, wind or water.

Ha! I'm just kidding. It's frikkin GREAT at all those times.

Took the words right out of my mouth

I recommend Mark Twain's "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" to all on this thread.

The clearance juice at the cafe is from when the XPress bottles had a best-by date, and the bottles in question were outdated. They have switched to a made-on date in the last couple of months. Those outdated ones work well for me because sealed PET bottles at about eights months since bottling STILL aren't steeped as much as my usual preferences.

Hi MissyG -- Thank you I intend on getting a sample with my very next order. Andes Mints?

Hey Sirius, if you check Ahlusion's website you'll notice Peppermint Bark is not available as a sample. I don't want you requesting it and then being disappointed when you don't receive it. So you might wanna add it to your cart and request something else.

 

[wingscup]

Was this directed to my post?

No, not directly, just in general. I know things that people don't, that's all.

Your instincts seem spot on to me. When this will happen as far as Ahlusion goes, only Vlad knows.

Let's say there are currently 1000 e-liquid vendors with an average customer base of 500. As the number of PV users increases, there will be new vendors popping up to meet the increased demand, especially since the majority of the current vendors are unable and/or unwilling to increase production capacity due to regulatory uncertainty.

Now let's say 2 years down the road the regulatory framework becomes clearer. Vendors have four options really :

1- Make as much money as they can in the short term and close shop.
2- Set themselves up to be purchased by big tobacco or some other deep pocketed vendor like nJoy for example.
3- Try to raise the funds to afford the costs of the new regulatory regime
4- Continue as is, but in the underground/black market economy

My guess is that a huge majority will cease operating and as in other industries a few big players will emerge. As the customer base expands and juice production becomes more and more mechanized, there will be great competition for market share amongst the emerging players, and prices will plummet to around 3 or 4 dollars per 30 ml, or something like that ( absent exorbitant government taxation ).

Now i don't know if Ahlusion will wait until then to streamline the juice offerings, or try to position themselves for the inevitable by gradually dropping the less popular offerings.

Having said that, your juices seem to be among the more popular offerings and i don't see any immediate danger of them being discontinued

Harrumph -- YOU should talk! It's down to you, and you alone, Sirius, that I have Star Dust on its way to me now!

You should probably resist the impulse to share your private dispute with Wlad on a public forum. It certainly couldn't help your cause, whatever it is.

You're right...sorry

Oh okay and thank you Voltron. I need to order a 30ml anyway because of your Andes Mints review on the joose. If it is even close Andes I will be happy!

Guilty as charged Eleanor. Ha!

Not sure if on this thread but do i recall a few days ago, some posts about unauthorized charges to a couple of peoples debit/credit card ? I noticed a charge to my account today, that i don't recognize. where your charges for $ 49.95 as well ? This charge was debited to my account on 6/23. Is it related to online activity and specifically juice purchase ?

No, it doesn't seem to be related to juice purchases. I've heard the hackers are targeting the credit card companies. They're not hacking in from websites.

I've got two tanks loaded up today: Blueberry Vanilla Cake and Rune w/breeze. I taste something similar in them, so I'm thinking Rune has some blueberry in it. It's a mystery!
