Ahlusion E-juice

[Blacks_n_Jacks]

Ask, and ye shall receive...

Another view to get the scale of where to trim.

In my experience, if you leave it any longer, it's too easy to over pack it in the spaces on either side of the deck. I tuck it in gently, and make sure it kinda fans out in the spaces beside the deck. Hope this helps...

Akdare, your pictures are awesome! And the emphasized information really helps me.

Oooo! BnJ's a gamer too? That's hot! I've got several days off so I can spend all weekend on the Beta test of an upcoming MMO that may or may not be related to Morrowind & Skyrim.

*puts finger to backside* Yep, I'm hot.

Yes, ma'am; I game I started out with an Atari 2600 and it's been a wrap since, lol. I don't play nearly as much as I'd like now due to home life and upcoming life changes. I love the action and adventure games myself (Uncharted, INfamous, Mass Effect), though my favorite is a Japanese RPG (Persona 3 and 4).

Hmmm.... I've not had a problem with vapor production or dry hits on my KFL's once I finally got my builds down. I usually turn one cotton ball into 16 wicks. I'll unroll the ball and cut it in half to make two shorter pieces then those will get cut in half again so each piece is now 1/4 as long as the original unrolled cotton. I'll then cut them into 1/4's lengthwise. I was using 26G Kanthal in an 8 wrap for 0.69ohms but it was killing my battery life so I've since gone back to 28G Kanthal (since I have more of that size as well than the 26G) with an 8 or 9 wrap which have been coming out to around 1.29ohms.

It's sort of hard to explain how I cut the wick length once I thread it through the coil but the wick is probably just shy of 1 inch in length. I thread the wick then press it down lightly so it touches the the two angles of the deck and cut at a 45 degree angle using the bottom threads of where the chimney threads are as a guide.

I'm still feeling a bit lazy since I had anasthesia for a bone marrow biopsy yesterday.

Goodness, I hope things go ok for you. We (well, I, lol) love your one-liners.

Here's another pic for ya B&J. I've been wetting the wick and kind of pasting it a little to the sides, making sure the wick is long enough to reach the bottom. I don't touch the wick after screwing the chimney on. 28ga Kanthal at 1 to 1.1 ohms works for me.

First, thank you all so much for posting pictures and explaining how you set up your Kayfun. It is truly awesome of y'all and I really appreciate it.

P.S. Jerms, that coil brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely stunning. I hope to build them like that when I grow up.

Oh, and regarding the best juice poll:

Every year there is an influx of voters excited about a new or upcoming vendor. Hence, the results not surprising me nor making me feel a certain way.** I know what I like and no poll will sway me. Ahlusion could come in dead last and I'll still be vaping on my Peachy and Smooth Criminal alongside other wonderful juices.

I feel no need to pump up or sell Ahlusion to every Tom, ...., and Jane out there. I'm sort of selfish that way.

Next year, it will probably be someone else on top of the hill -- great. If it isn't someone new -- great, also.

**I do want to try that H1N1, though. The enigmatic, sweet tobaccos are my weakness, LOL.

 

[Oxtail]

I aplogize first if this has been addressed recently, I just can't bring myself to go through many more pages looking for info…
I've been wanting to order from Ahlusions express line but seems everything I want is out of stock. I've never ordered from them before, so am wondering if this happens often and how long/soon til they restock for online sales?

I have the same question. Does anyone know when they're going to restock the small Xpress bottles?

I held off on ordering during Black Friday because half the Xpress flavors I wanted to try were not available in small bottles. I thought maybe they would restock. Well, it's only gotten worse. As of yesterday when I checked, something like 90% of the flavors I wanted to try were not available in 5ml Xpress size.

 

[Blacks_n_Jacks]

Sorry, unless it's stated on the site when they will restock a juice, no one here knows the answer to y'all question about the xpress bottles.

That would be Tom, Richard, and Jane lol.

H1N1 is awesome, and does some nice morphing with age. The custards are probably top of the line custards. I like CLS and CB fine but not wild about them. Don't really understand the latest custard craze, to me it sounds better than plays lol, kind of a boring flavor. Not a knock against Nico, I'm sure I'd feel the same way about most popular custard flavors. They are about the best thing ever for frankenjuicing though.

The yearly juice poll is just for fun, and that's about it. Taste is so subjective and fads come and go, the poll is just for spits and giggles and not a definative anything.

I would say though, for a newbie looking for a vendor, any vendor that made the top 3 for any category would be worth a shot. Any type of compiled recommendation list on ECF is much better than a random shot in the dark, there is just so much out there not worth mentioning, narrowing it down to a starting place helps. But for veteran vapers, probably not going to get much out of the polls other than some fun.

I don't really check the Xpress line, but I think it's always just a handful that are offered for purchase at a time. I wouldn't count on anything being restocked anytime soon.

What a rush, my first censored post! And I didn't even mean to, lol.

I really don't care how a juice vendor ranks. Still can't fool my taste buds. I've never been one to go with a crowd, not that there is anything wrong with that. If I had gone with the crowd this time last year, I'd be enlisted in a certain vendor's military branch.

Just goes to show how much things change annually. On the other hand, Boba's Bounty is still up there -- illustrating how much things DON'T change.

I played the field until I found the right one. And it's right for me indeed. I still have one night stands with other vendors, but I swear they don't mean anything to me, LOL.

I enjoyed my NT stuff when I had it, but I won't be ordering again. I feel much more secure buying from Ahlusion for a few reasons:

1. They don't use diacityl or their substitutes.
2. They package in sealed, glass bottles.
3. Their stuff is mixed in a lab.

NT doesn't match any of that criteria. It just seems like these smaller outfits who are working out of their homes leave too many things to chance. I'm not a safety nerd by any means but for around the same money, I can buy ahlusion and have peace of mind.

They're practically all I use anymore when I want a tank. My Aqua is in the rotation when I want to blow giant mushroom clouds, and of course, various drippers of one sort or another.

I love me some KayFUN.

I still love my Reos. They are much easier and just as good. I do like having tanks again though, my Provari was lonely. Although the Provari fell out of my pocket and the top is now separated from the tube. So much for built like a tank. I'll keep it till she gets unusable then find something else.

 

[new kid]

Me too! For my next order, I'm going to email them asking if I can get the Wild Wood as a straight tobacco.

Wow, that is a great idea.

Lol, my first censored post was accidental too. I was typing about how an AiV order included an unopened pack of Di.. I mean Richard.. Tracy Topps collector cards from the 90s, which I thought was a randomly hilarious and awesome free-be. Then I noticed my post showed ... Tracy.

My next censure was attempting an acronym of for the win. It was explained to me how those initials used to mean something else. Man, that's just not true, back in the day we would say the whole "..... the world" phrase, not spell out it's initials.

Nicoticket's liquids are diacetyl free according to their website. I have no reason not to believe them.

LOL @ your first time.

And the second instance.....yeah, I've never associated f*w with wuck the forld ; it was always "for the win, yeah!!" Guess we don't have dirty minds or mouths.

That would be so much fun. I'm so happy to see so many people from Michigan, you wouldn't believe it. Now I know I'm not the only one, but sometimes it seems that way, in my area of town at least. I'm the only person I know who vapes, and it gets kind of lonely and isolating trying to talk about something you like, but nobody around here gets it... or wants to hear about it. Thanks to everyone, from everywhere. Here's to vapers!

Same way here in Iowa. I know 3 other people that vape, my wife and two people I got started at work.

Grant's Vanilla Custard is partially to blame. I do think it's a very good juice, but it's overhyped because it's released in limited batches. Some of the side effects are a huge demand, people flipping bottles for more than double the price, and numerous competitors releasing their own GVC killers. Again, I'm not knocking the juice as it's something I enjoy.

Having said that, I'd love Wlad's take on vanilla custard. I'm certain his version would own.

Hey, it worked for Apple products, why not e-liquid?

Clark has verified he uses diacetyl substitutes, which really may be just as bad. That would be the same for any vendor, I don't think a custard flavor could be made without diacetyl or one of the substitutes. Some people totally avoid substitutes, which is very understandable. I don't run away, but sure wouldn't vape them on a regular basis.

Yeah that makes sense. I personally haven't felt an urge to seek out Grants, but many do. I'd try it, may even write it down to try one day, but it isn't something I would bump to the front of the line.

Custard really is good, it's creamy, vanilla-y, nice mouthfeel, pleasant taste. But it's also fairly one dimensional. A nice, simple, pleasant flavor, but not more interesting to me than a straight vanilla vape. That type of flavor I can enjoy anytime, but not something I want for long periods or something I get excited about.

Custard does seem more aimed toward those looking for an all day vape than someone who switches juice all the time, so I'm not really the target audience.

Oh, and I feel like Shatner with the KFL; something has gone wrong with all my builds. I just don't know what. I've built low-res coils, higher res (1.6 ohm) coils. Either I'm getting anemic vapor, with harsher throat hits than I'm accustomed to......or I'm getting dry hits like every 3 puffs. The 3.1 version is smooth as butter, but the Lite is kicking my throat. I'm guessing it's the amount of cotton I'm using; feels like the same amount I use in other micro coils I make, but it's not working the way I'd like. And I'm running out of non-Ahlusion juice to put in and possibly waste testing it.

Iteresting.... I have:

KFL
Russian 91
KF ES (clone)


They all work good for me. Actually I like the Russians the best, but the clone at ~$20 is awesome.

Diacetyl free does not mean diacetyl substitute free. Vendors claiming they are "diacetly free" when they use diacetyl substitutes is on the verge of dishonest IMO. With that said, I do not know if Nicoticket uses diacetyl substitutes.

That's a shame, then. I would really love to try Ahlusion, but the lack of sample sizes makes it hard.
