That's a hard question to answer, speedracer, but I will take a stab at it.

I personally find all of their juices benefit from steeping, except the aromatic tobaccos, which I hear are grand right out of the mailbox. The fruit flavors develop layers and complexity and meld together over several weeks - same with the desserts and drink varieties, I think ( I will let someone else answer these steep times as I have not tried many). Non-aromatic tobaccos are tricky. Some can be decent to delicious right out of the mailbox, but they change over time to mellow and bring forth the intended tobacco variety flavor. For example, Smooth Criminal is more of a sweet, borderline dessert vape at first/fresh, but after a few weeks, it changes dramatically with the tobacco background coming forward and the sweetness tapering off. Some steep it up to 8 weeks for optimum taste. Sahara Blend is one that also changes over time, so a decent few weeks while sampling all along will give you an idea of how it transforms over time. You may like it at week 2 while someone else may like it fresh or even at week 4. Teas, from what I have tried, are similar to the non-aromatic tobaccos with steeping. They will balance with the paired flavors over time and also develop the intended tea experience inherent in a juice.

In general, all of their flavors balance out, meld together, and deepen over time.

We are basically all like kids in a candy store and can't wait to take a bite or in our case a vape. I have the Cafe Au Latte steeping for 2 days now which is why I asked.

I can't find anywhere on their site, but what is the difference between their express and regular juices? Are express juices made in advance or something?

As far as my understanding, the Xpress line has about a 2 week steep because they are made ahead of time as opposed to the regular line, which is made fresh to order and thus requires a longer steep time. Also, the Xpress line cannot be ordered with vg/pg preference, but you can choose nicotine mg level.

Vagabondnurse, do you have a Whole Foods near you? They carry liquid stevia with an ingredients list consisting of only stevia, VG, and distilled water. I think it might be the Now brand. I picked mine up from Swanson Vitamins since I order there regularly every 6 weeks or so. But so long as it doesn't have added alcohols, and the less extra additives the better, you should be fine.

I'm not sure if all the old reviews are loaded up on the new site yet but when I ordered tiramisu for the first time, it was many of the comments in those reviews that had me go with the sweetener option. I've had a couple chocolate vapes (VCV) where the chocolate want as sweet and I ended up adding some of that stevia to it myself (about 1 drop in my Igo-L per 8 drops of joose was perfect for me, not overly sweet put just enough to make the chocolate pop.

It might be good for you to actually try it both ways anyway, assuming you got the sample size now, so adding in the sweetener yourself will let you do that. And know that if you like it sweetened on the tiramisu, then Wlad's sweetening methods are even better. :D


PS some vendors offer sucralose as a separate sweetener option which should work too. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener however and I prefer to stay with all natural whenever possible, which is what Stevia is. If you can't find any, shoot me a PM and I'll skim some off mine and drop a little bottle in the mail to you.

We're friends, right? I love you, my lady. Back of yours, I got. Always.

:ohmy: :wub::wub::wub: Thank you, Mr. Mann!!!!


really got to say caramel wildwood is pretty good
only a week old and more a tobacco feel then maple wildwood
the smoky flav really works here


def have the I can vape this by the fireplace in the winter feel:vapor:

Yummers . . . mine shipped today, and I can't wait to try it! My Peach Wild Wood has aged into something incredible, too, but I'm finding that Wlad's caramels are just special. Gold Member (the salted caramel) has already climbed into the coveted 30ml bottle status with me! :D


Raspberry Cream is live!

Fruit : Raspberry Cream


Stampede!! :laugh:

Thanks a lot CheriePie. Where I'm presently working in Louisiana they don't have a Whole Foods but they do have a Fresh Market which is similar. If they don't have any maybe the next time I'm in Baton Rouge I can hit the Whole Foods there. At least this way I get to try them unsweetened first then see where they need to go from there.

Well I've just got to say Cocoa Blend in an EVOD is great also:laugh: At this rate I think I'll just need to try a new aromatic whenever I place an order. Pretty sure I'm going to want to have one along with me everyday to break up the other flavors in rotation. My biggest problem is already having tons of juice and they keep coming out with flavors I just must try:D

Forgot to share have a friend here in town making his own juice for himself and a handful of other friends. I haven't tried it (too spoiled) but have been saving my blue bottles for him...when I gave him my stash just told his this is what the good hooch comes in...

It's real cherry flavor. They make their own, from real cherries. I'm not the best with words, probably someone else can give a better description but Ahlusion won my heart with this stuff. I can't eat real cherries anymore due to extensive G.I. surgery and it broke my heart when I came to the conclusion that cherry couldn't be made vapeable. I had really low expectations when I threw the sample bottle in my cart last year. I was as skeptical as you are, or more. I figured I would give it away. Not likely. :p

Well, I'm going to add that to my next small order! Thanks for the heads up! I love real cherries but hate artificial and had been eyeing Sweet Cherry Something. Almost got it as a sample this time but got Peppermint Bark instead, sweetened. ;)

Thanks a lot CheriePie. Where I'm presently working in Louisiana they don't have a Whole Foods but they do have a Fresh Market which is similar. If they don't have any maybe the next time I'm in Baton Rouge I can hit the Whole Foods there. At least this way I get to try them unsweetened first then see where they need to go from there.

You must be close to where I am, there's a Fresh Market 20 minutes or so from me. :) Baton Rouge is 45 to an hour!

Got my order in as my coupon fortuitously was working today, yay! So reordered my Pink Label Juice, got Lemon Cream, Raspberry Cream, Cantal-Berry Ice with Breeze (nervous but excited, they haven't steered me wrong yet) and Coconut Dream and asked for a sample of Peppermint Bark as there is nothing that says it is not available as a sample! :) So happy about the arrival of Raspberry Cream. My big order should be here tomorrow. :banana:

Clearly he does not vape! ;)

No...he quit smoking cold turkey almost 6 years ago. At first he was really not happy with my vaping but thanks to a couple of his sisters in the medical field that told him to leave me the heck alone...he is fine with it. Now he'll tell his smoking buddies to talk to me about vaping...however I do have a problem with purchasing vaping toys and too much juice:D

I ordered Chocolate Cream with sweetener and it was not to my liking. The added sweetener gave it an artificial taste it did not otherwise have. Of course, I still vaped it....

Most of A+ flavors I have tried have not needed sweetener, but I can't speak for the Tiramisu as I have not tried that one yet. It really depends on how sweet you like your flavors, but also, some liquids just need it, so I would go with what other Tiramisu buyers say. There are available sweeteners you can purchase in the DIY area of many vendor websites. You can get either liquid or powder form. If you have a set of vendors you normally purchase from, if they have a DIY section, check that out and see what they have.

I have also heard of people using stevia at home. I will check how much per ml/10 mls and get back to you.

Try browsing this thread for the amt to use, but also what sweeteners are available and how others rate them:

Speaking of toys, I earned $200 for 5 minutes of work today and was able to order a MVP 2.0 (have the MVP, 1.0? :laugh: ), another PT2 and a couple other things! :banana: Had a walk in today for a $10,000 bond (bail bondsperson) so I was able to get some more toys! :banana: I'm going to place my small Ahlusion order next week or when I get back, have other things to pick up with some of that money. :)

But Raspberry Cream, oh my, and a new MVP and PT2, etc. in one day! I'm a very, very happy girl right now! :D

Tested my Ahl juices w/my friend, who I want to also love Alh because we split large bottles on a lot of flavors we both like and it was kind of a bummer because all four flavors I have we're too ripe still. And I'm still kicking myself for not getting fruits/desserts. The one that I was given a sample of is spectacular...Mango Lassi.

So quick question for the Ahl pros...how do I know if a flavor needs the option of sweetener added? I hope/assume, the deserts and fruit will already be sweet? The Cafe Au Lait and Spiced Pumpkin Latte, although not steeped enough yet, are not sweet at all and I could see maybe if I had added the sweetener option, maybe they would taste a little sweeter. My chocolate hazelnut, again not steeped enough, also doesn't taste real sweet. Maybe the sweetness pops after full steep? Who knows..

I'm looking to order a keg of Mango Lassi (ok, maybe not a keg, but biggest bottle I can get), Blueberry Vanilla Cake, Papya Lassi and torn right now on 5 others, but still in this same "family". No tobaccos, no more coffees..but confused with the sweetener option for desserts/fruits.
