Just curious as to other peoples experiences, I'm on my 4th or 5th order of juice from this great company. I've been using 30pg/70vg mixes for my drippers and a 50/50 for my kayfun. What resistances in their mechs are folks using for the higher VG ranges? Sometimes I am not sure if I am burning juice or not and if I would benefit from raising the resistance a bit ( I currently vape on airy rdas at .25-.5).

For the higher VG I would suggest a cooler coil. I use single .8 ohm for fruits and deserts..brings the flavors out nicely. 50 VG is my preferred on those. For clouds and flavor .4 if vaping 70VG. I rarely chase clouds anymore but do so on occasion.

Of my order, I've tried SVC, Star Dust, Lemon Cream, and Banana Cream Pie. BCP is outstanding. Without a doubt the best BCP I've had yet. Star dust is great but not an ADV imo. Too sweet. Lemon Cream is really good although I'd suggest a flavor shot. Smells amazing. SVC isn't my favorite but I'm going to let it sit for a while and revisit.

Hey guys, I'm placing an order soon and would like to hear any recommendations for really "juicy" flavors that are refreshing and not too tart. I'm considering Apple Berry Splash, Grape Vine, Pearadise Dream, and Watermelon Jubelance. I'm also curious about how the "breeze" option works on them. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Bukket, I can no more taste the (alleged) mint in Orange Blossom White Tea than I can in Fijian Nights. :D So fear not, and order away!

Thank you! You've just enabled me to try every white tea. :) The Caramel Pear White Tea is so delicious I can't wait to try the others. I vaped through my sample in one day and I'm not going to make it until my feedback letter gets here. I need more now! I really hope they come out with a white tea version for every black tea. That would be awesome. The white tea has such a pure taste to it so it really makes the other flavors shine.

A lot of folks could not/would not tolerate the steep time and I guess complained. People want instant gratification, always in life. Just my thoughts.

Thats exactly what happened and it isn't anything new. It's been on their website for almost 2 years that they are reformulating every juice to require little to no steeping. Every time a flavor disappears I assume it's being reformulated.

All of us can remember how many people we've had to talk into ordering since they wanted instant flavor. Then there are all the people who vape it as soon as it arrives and start complaining about the flavor and putting down Ahlusion. Wlad has always hated all the talk and questions about steeping times. For every person that has come here to complain imagine how many contacted Ahlusion. And there are no refunds or returning juice. It is stated in bold red on the terms of service at every checkout. No company can take back juice that has been sent out.

I can't begin to imagine how terrible it feels for someone who lost an ADV. All I can say is I'm sorry it happened to you and I hope you find something else that works. Doesn't matter if it's here or from someone else. The main goal is to stay vaping.

I read a lot of... speculation.. on this board that reminds me that few really know this man and what he stands for. I ALWAYS bite my tongue and let the speculation go. It isn't my intention to be contentious, but I would fall on my own sword if this were ever proved to be the case in his business model. It is entirely possible that formulations are being rethought to use less numbers of ingredients in the overall mix of the spectrum, to aid in getting FDA approval of ingredients, but I don't think "the "old bottom" (almighty?) dollar" is the motivation. Survival in a regulatory environment requires some sacrifices. Nobody is likely less pleased about that than the Man himself.

Well said, Louis. There is always a lot of speculation about everything. All I know is that I love Ahlusion flavors and as long as I'm vaping it will be Ahlusion. No one creates mixes and flavors that are perfect for me except Wlad. I know the reformulation of The Ron Effect is amazing. It tastes even better now. I bet I wasn't letting it steep long enough.

Have you tried the new Caramel Pear White Tea? The new flavors that keep coming out are so good!

Money being a motivation for Wlad is laughable even one knows nothing about the man other than his flavoring skills. In case no one has noticed there has not exactly been a stampede of flavorists, not even mediocre ones, escaping the flavoring/perfume houses to set up shop to cash in on the booming e-cig industry. That's because the money is so very, very good right where they are at. Flavorists of Wlad's caliber are paid like rock stars and are pretty much treated as gods.

The Orange Blossom White Tea is doing a better than fair job of ameliorating the loss of Ginger Orange Oolong.

I can't wait to taste the Orange Blossom White Tea! Thank you. I totally agree. Wlad has invested a lot of time and money into a business that no one knows where it will be once the regulations start. We've seen all the laws that they keep trying to pass yet Ahlusion is still creating new flavors and investing in new equipment.

Hey unfortunately a couple of peeps may have gotten pissedoff with me..but I raised that question knowing full well some fans would be .......
It ain't nothing but a thang though. We all good I hope? :)

Its all good here. :) I think your question lead to a discussion that answered a lot of things that peeps were wondering about.

I love the flavors of Caramel Pear Black Tea. I'll have to try Caramel Pear White Tea eventually. Has anyone who loves CPBT tried CPWT and compared them? I'd love to hear what you think.

The black teas have a dark earthiness to them. The white tea has a pure, clean taste to it that lets the Caramel Pear shine through. It's amazing!

I'd recommend Star dust. It's about as "juicy" as you get.

The Grape Vine is probably the "juiciest" ejuice I've ever had. To me, it tastes just like a glass of purple grape juice. Not Koolaid, real grape juice. I haven't tried it with breeze, but I would think it would play well. Just don't get any of the mint options (like Flurries). I don't think they would work at all.

So, if anyone else has been wondering about the Coconut Macaroon recently, I asked about it in a feedback email yesterday and got a response back from Wlad (first time! It's always been Alley who has responded to me before!). Anyway, it was a new flavor for them mid-2013. They ended up selling the flavorings and recipe to another flavor manufacturer and forgot to take it off the menu. He thanked me about reminding him about it, and it seems to be gone from the menu today.

I'm sorry I won't ever get to try it, but glad I won't have to keep looking at it and wondering!

Oh dang it. I keep hoping I will see it "available" one day. Disappointed, but like you, glad we know! Wonder who he sold it to?

He said he "cannot disclose" who it is, since they are using it in their own line-up now. I'll bet we could find it if we searched hard enough, but I'll bet it wouldn't be as good as if Ahlusion was mixing it!

Thank you, Lisa! I am crazy about coconut, and it was such a tease always seeing it there, but never available.

How about the new Autumn Mist? Juicy pears and cider apples, and it's gotten raves.

Can anyone comment on Ahlusion's chocolate and caramel flavors? (Other vendors I've tried just can't pull of either of these flavors...)

IMHO, Ahlusion makes the best caramel and chocolate flavors out there. I personally love their Caramel Wild Wood, Just Criminal, and Peppermint Bark.

Also, any recommendations on Ahlusion flavors that are not quite so sweet?

I don't generally vape chocolate flavors, so I'll leave others to comment on the specifics of those. I know people like them, though. I've heard many times on here that Ahlusion is the only one they trust to get chocolate right.

Caramel is tough. I really like both the Gold Member (salted caramel) and Car-Mal Mambo. They are deep rich flavors. BUT they clog coils like nobody's business. If you are a dripped and don't mind dry-burning and rewicking often, it might not seem too bad, but I use replaceable coil BCC's, and as good as those flavors are, it almost isn't worth vaping them because they burn through coils so fast.

As far as "not quite so sweet", what are we comparing it to? I find most Ahlusion flavors are sweet, but not too sweet. I never order them sweetened, but some people do. Others just like certain flavors sweetened. What have you tried that you are finding too sweet? That might give us a direction to steer you.

edit: I meant to add (although Voltron got to it first!) that you might want to try Caramel Wild Wood, if you like tobaccos. I recently got a sample of Caramel House Blend, and it doesn't quite do it for me. It's pretty new, though. It might improve with steeping.

Thank you both for the comments - very helpful!

As for the "not too sweet" - just got my first order from Ahlusions and love them (Banana Cream Pie, Tiramasu, Café au Lait) but they are obviously very sweet. I'm big on coffee flavors...hints of fruit, but nothing really fruity. Always used to love the flavor of tobacco, but haven't found anything I like yet in eliquid...might give the Caramel Wild Wood a try.

Coil cloggers...! I'm new to vaping...and was going through coils like crazy with darker coffee and vanilla flavors. I use Nautilus BVC coils, and I'm pleasantly surprised to find Ahlusion liquids have even better flavor while not nearly so dark (it's a new experience for me to still be using the same coil after a week...it might go even longer, yay!).

I'm also trying 50/50 for the first time - was using a 60/40 pg/vg - so I suspect the higher vg makes it sweeter also?

Anyway, thanks for the ideas...so many choices, not enough hours in a day! :)
