You seem to be good at math, but the 2nd coupon is not a percentage off the original price, it is a percentage off the discounted price. $100 of juice at 35% off is $65. Then the 2nd 15% is taken off the $65 price, not the $100 original price, so the total comes to $55.25, not $50 (35%+15%).

Yes, you are correct. Lol why didn't I think of that! Hence not so good at math lmao.

And I just checked the FREE SHIPPING option...it's there! How the hell did I miss that? I'm slipping in my middle age.

It's not just you. One time after my order Wlad asked me why I used the pay-for-shipping option. He looked out for me on it, but I was totally oblivious. It still is something I have to be mindful of -- click the option of free shipping!

Just placed an order. These 35% off sales, coupled with gold status are too hard to pass by.

My largest order to date -- Over 300 ml of juice.... So much for honing down my juice supply...

Ordered the favorites:
- Caramel Apple
- Lime Cream
- Sirius

Trying, for the first time:
- Alpha Centauri
- Pineapple Upside Down Cake
- Zing
- Raspberry Cream
- Poppin Peach
- Orange Creamsicle
- Moonlight Serenade
- Luna Fortuna
- Crescent Moon
- Strawberry Vanilla Cake
- Raspberry Mojito

Hopefully, I did okay and will enjoy the new flavors!

And I'm justifying my large order with the idea that I got my new Earlkonigin and am going through around 6ml - 10ml juice a day... So really, it's necessary, right?!?

Just got notice that my above shipment (ordered 3/1) was sent out today. Can't argue with that sort of service! They must have cleared any backlog they had! :toast:

I couldn't resist the sale either. Big bottle of Crescent Moon, smaller bottle of an old favorite I miss lately, Luna Fortuna. I asked for a sample of the Billow Berry too. I was torn between that and Fort Custard but I'd like to see more reviews of that one. Not sure I'd like a custard vape.

Also, I haven't seen any new entries in the wonderful Googledoc spreadsheet that Lisa made for us long ago. A great way to keep track of what you've tried and how much you like it. I think it's ok to post a link to it here?

I was curious so I went through and counted 106 flavors that I know I tried....I probably forgot a few. Lol. I refuse to count how many I keep in stock! I was checking the fridge yesterday and discovered that I have 3 60mls of Sweet Surrender, Pineapple Cream, Mango Lassi, Chai Latte, and Lemon Cream. 2 of Rick's Request, Lime Cream, and Strawbery Shortcake. I think I overstocked a bit. :facepalm:

I'm working on using up flavors and I've switched to only buying one 60ml at a time. Plus for the first time I ordered a couple of favorite flavors in 30ml. I'm making progress!

I wasn't sure about Fort Custard either but I had to try it out. I decided not to order more yesterday so now my 30ml is almost empty and I vaped 2 tanks of it last night. It will be on my next order. It just needed a week of steeping.

Is billow berry supposed to be a cereal vape? I'm getting a big time crunch berries thing from it. I was expecting it to be like a blueberry version of memory lane and cresent moon, but this is very different. I like it though!

A few weeks ago when I got that bottle that is exactly what I posted about and thought. When I got it though, I knew nothing of what it was supposed it taste like ('twas just a free bottle), so I did think it was a berry cereal or something of the like. I must say though, I really like it after a few days - a couple weeks, but it seems to continue steeping into something a little too bitter. I added some sweetener to mine and all is fine now. I wish W would let those liquids come with a sweetener option.

Thanks so much for responding! Don't have a juice cellar, so relative darkness at 68 will have to do. I'm hopeful about the a Lemon Cream. That, and the Mango Lassi, were the initial attraction. I keep trying lemon vapes, but so many vendors do a lemon pie sort of thing, and it never tastes quite right. Those always end up in the PIF box :)

I love the way(s) Ahlusion does lemon. You simply MUST try their Lemon Vanilla Cake!! :drool:

I totally agree. Ahlusion lemon flavor is fantastic. I'm undecided whether I like the Lemon Vanilla Cake or the Lemon Cream better... But both are really good!

On the same note, Lime Cream is fantastic as well and totally worth a try if you're looking for citrus!

This is what I wrote a couple weeks ago after I got my bottle...

...
Fort Custard

This liquid, much like Alton, blew me away at first. Very flavorful, almost-velvety, egg-y, slightly sweet and a *touch of lemon. It tasted to me to be a very, very solid offering into the 'safe' custard liquids out there.

*If I was a betting man, considering how much I've worked with this flavoring, I would say there is likely FA (FlavourArt) Custard in here. From what I've read, a lot of Italian custard recipes are "aromatized" with a some lemon peel (or zest) and as HIC has said, FA is an Italian company so it makes since that they would include that in their custard flavoring. But don't get it twisted, my speculation about one flavoring being in there is not the sum of Fort Custard. Not even close! Wlad has somehow built a custard base (the type of 'custard' that most people are looking for in a vape) and it feels pretty close but without the blanketing mouth-feel of diketones. So with this liquid you do have some mouth-feel and some of that sweet egg-y taste that I like -- and that little touch of lemon brightens it up a lot. It really is quite tasty. I don't know if most normal custard fans would feel this liquid hits the spot, but me not being a vaper of those liquids (the ones with diketones), it works for me. At this point I would definitely reorder this one, but it will not be from the MAX V line becasue I encountered the same problem as Alton with the flavor disappearing (though with Alton the loss of flavor was more drastic, likely becasue of how much initial flavor Alton had).

It's kinda funny to me reading comments about Fort Custard becasue in the DIY forum you'll see the same comments about FA's Custard. Whether or not Ahl used FA Custard or not is kinda irrelevant though, my point in re-posting my impression is to try and draw a link to the *type* of custard that I imagine Wlad was going for: An Italian custard.

I still don't think this custard is what most people are going to be looking for, especially if they are used to *normal* vanilla custards, but for me it is a solid offering and I do still feel it is too delicate of a flavor to hold up to the MAX V line.

Edit: I think Ahlusion missed an opportunity in their description of this flavor for preparing would-be buyers of what was to come. As of now, it just says "a delicious creamy custard flavor."

I added some sweetener to my bottle of Alton and that too seems to greatly benefit form some more sweetness. I sent Ahl a message on FB about adding the option to sweeten some of these new cream-based liquids, so I will keep you all apprised of what (if any) response I get back.

Man, B5 got a dude trippin' over here! LOL. Now I am sweetening liquids? Sheesh.

Good morning! Are there steeping recommendations for these juices? From reading this thread, it seems that they are good FOOB, but any guidance will be most appreciated. Here's what's coming (all are either 50/50 or 30/70, as recommended by Ahlusion):
Piña Colada
Mango Lassi
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Vanilla Cake
Cranberry Autumn
Raspberry White Tea
Raspberry Sunset
Peaches and cream
Lemon Cream

Yikes! I think I may have gone a bit overboard!

Opinions are all over the place on this. As someone else said, just try them FOOB, then try them later, and keep notes. :D
I clearly haven't tried anywhere near as many juices as other folks here. But still, after a bit, except for the ones I knew I loved, I started forgetting which were just ok, which were just not and so on. Notes.
BTW, what's in your cute bird's suitcase?

I will.
Two ProVari's, several toppers, and a lot of juice. What else might a bird bring south? ;)

Holy shiz, are you AGREEING with me? Lol. Welp that settles it, Billow Berry is a crunch berry vape. Maybe they are calling it berries and cream to beat the "marketing to children" rap?

Memory Lane is now offered with an option for sweetener! I just ordered 60ml of it that way yesterday. My first bottle of it without sweetener is nearly gone, which is FAST for me. I actually love it, but think I will love it even more sweetened. I did not like it foob though. Took a week or two to become enjoyable.

What are you using for sweetner? I only have ethyl malto on hand but I think A+ sweetens with something different?

About Fort Custard: Well the jury is still out, but so far I'm a little disappointed. I have been enjoying the subtly of Mem Lane and CM, but FC is just leaving me wanting. I'm well past the days of vapers tounge, and onto full time dripping, plenty hydrated etc etc, but all I'm getting so far is like a very diluted, creamier lemon cream. Lemon is really to only discernable flavor I can find at this point. Maybe a little egg? Maybe a little spice? My bottle is nearing two weeks old, so I'm hoping she makes a comeback. But so far, not a reorder. I don't dislike it, but it's neither meeting my expectations nor causing me to rethink them.

Where did you get the sweetener and how much do you add? I have many liquids I think would benefit from sweetener.

There's a new category at Ahlusion now...well, is it new? Nothing in it yet, but as of now there is a category called "Aromatic." Can't wait to see what is to come...

Check the "news" tab, a lot of information on the new Aromatics coming out. I still have half a bottle of the original BGB too if you're interested. It's a little long in the tooth, but has been kept dark and 55 since I got it.
