I agree with this and we are somewhat similar on your quoted 10.

My experience of 50 % of the Samples that became re-orders in the Glass Bottle size was impressive.

Of the 50 % that were not re-orders there are some that I desire to try again. However, I prefer the term for the ones that were not re-orders as not for me versus bad.

I mean, i didn't say all the juices i wouldn't re-order are bad, only two of them. And i did say that i thought they were bad. Not that there is something intrinsically wrong with them, just that i found them unappealing and couldn't vape them. But still, i will try to chose my words more carefully next time.

I consider myself a customer of the brand, and i find them to be a top notch vendor with great juices overall and reasonable prices for the industry. I do think that the prices in the industry are too high in general, and as the industry matures, the prices will go down. It happens with every new product in the market. Standard.

So when i say i don't feel guilty that i took advantage of sales, or that i thought that two out of the ten flavors i have tried were bad, according to my tastes, that's all that i mean. I'm not knocking them. And as great a guy as i'm sure Vlad is, and some of you can probably vouch for this personally, i still realize that he is running a business for profit, and as any business owner he is trying to maximize his profits. Pricing decisions, is a part of the equation to that end. I don't feel lucky that he is selling me juices. I feel grateful that ifound a vendor that can provide me with a product that i enjoy, and the reverse of it is, that the vendor should be grateful that you guys are buying his products and making his business a successful one. It's a two way street.

Sorry, but that's just how i feel. And believe it or not, i actually censor myself sometimes so that i don't hurt the feelings of some of the people frequenting this thread ! I just say it like i see it in real life. I buy my NET's from HHV for example, but i don't have a problem saying i don't like most of their other juices and i find some of them pretty bad. Just my opinion, after all, as i'm sure others will find some of the juices i like to be bad.

Again, i didn't mean there is anything wrong intrinsically with the two juices i thought were bad. Just the words i chose to describe them without really thinking there will be connotations :)

I have had personal business dealings with Ahlusion as of late...something happened. I lost all contact with Wlad after we were to forge ahead with a plan. I am not sure what is going on. It baffles me. Hate to say it here but I'm frustrated beyond words. I don't want to get people worried. I could always drive there and try and see him but with the lack of communication through emails and phone calls, I don't want to overstep the boundaries. Hope all is well with him

Ahlusion is stopping online sales? Is this for realz? This is just speculation, right?

Man, one minute I am admiring you all take advantage of a great sale, and then the next.... the bottom of the bucket falls out.

Reminds me of the time dad threw out all the Christmas presents.

That part is speculation based on recent and past events. After all we weren't told that profiling for new customers stopped in late 2013, at least that I'm aware of. I assumed that is what I was doing in all those feedback emails describing my equipment and experiences. What it turns out I was doing was simply giving them product feedback. So at least this appears to be one instance where nobody got the memo from the Mothership because when I signed up here earlier this year the profile process was being described regularly to those of us wanting to try Ahlusion.

The plot thickens....

I hope all is well with them also.

Thunder-I started ordering in 2013 and I recently got a reply from Vlad saying due to upcoming changes in the works they were no longer going to be customizing liquids.
I voiced a concern over a month ago about the sales maybe his way of allowing us to stock up before the ax fell. Now I think maybe it is his way of increasing revenue so he can prepare for the huge funds he will need to make AHL meet regulations

I'd be curious to see if anyone who started ordering from Ahlusion in 2014 like I did has gotten a response to their feedback emails mentioning flavor changes. I haven't and I may have found out why when I referred a friend a few days ago.

I'm a big fan of Ahlusion juices. It's one of two vendors that I order from. I haven't read many of the posts so if I'm wrong I stand corrected. I notice that there are questions concerning why the house blends are gone. Or is the website going down. Many others I'm sure. My question is does Wlad ever participate in this thread? And why not if he doesn't? The other vendor I order from is continually involved in the forums. It would seem to me that part of a successful business would be to get involved with the customers, especially the loyal ones on this thread. I see all these concerns from loyal customers and no questions being answered, not only here, but apparently not even from emails. I'm such a big fan of Vww and Cww as well as a couple others. So when I see concerns not being addressed I lose faith in the business. Does his lack of participation and concern make his juices taste worse. No. But when a competitor makes equally good juices and additionally shows concern for his customers I would lean towards purchasing from the competitor.

I've struggled with how to word this given that posting emails is against forum policy along with not wanting to cause a ruckus. She was told that profile service for new customers stopped being offered in late 2013. Along with a confirmation on the moving away from custom juices outside the available website options due to future regulation.

Thundernoggin, thanks for explaining what you can about this.

Just wanted to post a positive review for the Peppermint Bark juice. DJLEC was kind and generous enough to send me a bottle to try and I was not disappointed! I have been trying to find a good mint chocolate and this is the best one I have tried so far. If you have been on the fence about trying this flavor, definitely pull the trigger, it is delicious!

No one knows for sure yet. The question is, have you tried any Ahlusion ejuice yet?

I am hoping and praying that we will get some type of warning if online sales disappear, but I honestly don't understand the marketing strategy there. I will be stocking up or I will be finding one of you that live close that is willing to purchase for me and mail it out. :D I would hate to lose the only vendor that I use at this point. I have loved everything that they sell, but I honestly don't want to have to find another vendor. It was a brutal process finding a vendor that I love 99% of their juices. I don't want to have to start over. My biggest fear is I run out of Ahlusion juices and can't find another go to online vendor.

we can all plan our massive buys together and take turns going after it

I actually love the fact that he is not on here promoting. I feel it shows better business practice to stick to making great juice and running his business than to be on here gabbing and collecting fan boys

I can assure you one thing & that is that Ahlision is,not going out of business. Heck, they could survive on the wholesale end of their business alone....after all, that is the biggest part of their operation. That is also one of the many reasons Wlad is not here on ECF....ECF considers them a wholesaler, not a vendor.

Speculation will only cause panic & problems IMHO. I just got a reply from Wlad a couple of days ago & he said he had gotten swamped with emails over this last weekend.
