Ahlusion E-juice

[chanelvaps]

Alright just tried it. Settling in to it now. Not sure I knew what Mango tasted like. Very different. Creamy and nice. Think I might be bothered by pollen and my taste buds are not at their best. Got this Vigilante eliquid that I have heard so much about and it doesn't taste right to me.

lol! I love it that much! Did you try it?

 

[chanelvaps]

Just smelled my 4 week old CPBT and I am still getting C smell. Going to wait another 2 weeks

 

[bustamelon]

Shipwreck really sticks to an atty. That is all.

Sure does! For that reason I use it sparingly, and only toward the end of a wick's life span. After it's vaped, out goes the wick.
I find the same is true for anything with mint.

Here's more info. Sorry to be such a buzz kill this week.

CASAA: CASAA's Basic Background for Understanding FDA Regulation of E-Cigarettes

You know this got me thinking. Wlad is in a relatively rare position to speak maybe a little louder than the the rest of us. I was just was imagining Wlad, and a few other Marines he has helped, sorting this whole mess out over coffee at the FDA building in an afternoon.

Yes, maybe. But still join CASAA. It's free, and numbers matter.

 

[TexasVet]

Yes!!!! I hoped you'd love it -- Wlad really nails the elusive "coffee" with LFR!

A long long time ago, Wlad made it so that hyperlinks to Ahlusion were not permissible from ECF or other sites. Strange as it may sound, he really doesn't like all the buzz he gets online; he really is primarily a wholesaler, not a retailer, and wants to keep the order load reasonable.

Umm, as noted above . . . Wlad is probably perfectly happy to be flying under the radar at Reddit. I fully share your enthusiasm for Ahlusion, and think it an act of kindness to spread the news about them to other vapers, but . . . the Wizard wishes we wouldn't "chatter" so much about him! (Please don't shoot me; I'm only the messenger! )

Ahlusion intended wholesaler? Never knew that. and I just thought I was buying in bulk, AND I'll NOT be giving his business cards away anymore either.
Now I gotta act like I have a 'dealer'

"This is juice club.... The first rule of juice Club is that you don't talk about Ahlusions..."

I'm happy to keep it a secret, if that means that Vlad will keep selling to us retail. It would absolutely ruin my vape, if I couldn't get Ahlusions juices anymore.

So, is 9 bucks retail or wholesale? We're either getting 'ripped' or getting a 'deal'. Just can't tell.

Eleanor, I will agree with you.....we would be doing Wlad a favor if we don't do anything more than we do right here on this thread, which I'm sure is already sometimes too much in Wlad's eyes as it is.

So if anyone shoots you, they'll have to shoot me too!

Me three. I don't think most ECF habitues believe it, but he has told me that his business would be just fine without ever being mentioned on any website. I believe him, having watched the mail carriers hauling out his daily orders a couple of times.

Me 4, where's the line. I'll just be a 'dumb' addict.

OK... So, it is settled. We are going to close this thread and stop posting about Ahlusions, forever. It will now be our closely held secret and, if you tell anyone new about it, you will then have to kill them.

"Move along... These are not the juices that you are looking for..."

What thread?
What post?
Ahlusion who?
Where's Michigan?

The following email is a response I got from Ahlusions and sort of goes along with what Eleanor was saying re: "keep quiet about AHL and don't tell strangers"
I did my feedback thing and said I wished my Strawberry Banana had more flavor.
I got a response saying 'In the future we will make your Strawberry Banana with double flavor'
I then responded and said "can we just make all my AHL with dble flavor'
and I got this back

While we have added the notes to your profile, this cannot be applied to every flavor. The main reason is that with upcoming regulations ALL e-liquids will be uniform, plus any changes we've allowed were shared on forums resulting in hundreds of requests from random visitors. While we'd like to accommodate everyone's wishes, it simply cannot be done with the resources we have available.

Geez, the more I read about this, the more sorry I am that I actually pushed the Lemon Vanilla Cake fiasco. Crap, I'm a random.

I wonder if they could charge $.01 for a sample though?

Only if the samples add up to a nickle

We've all been there. Trust me... you won't be disapointed. It is absolutely worth the wait. Besides, you will likely learn that steeping them to their best flavor takes considerably longer than the order process. I'm still trying to get enough on hand to keep them rotated through my steeping box.

You have a place (box) for steeping? Someone else in here has a spreadsheet.
I just line 'em up, one behind the other, veterans up front, new enlistees in the rear. ... what'sa spreadsheet? j/k

Now you've got it!! You're officially an Ahlusionati. The best way to share Ahlusion is to let your friends try your juice. If they like them then send them to the website. What Wlad wants to avoid is someone coming to order that doesn't know anything about the company and how things work. So someone that has come here first and read up and asked for advise is better prepared and knows what to expect. At one point he did consider closing the online retail part of Ahlusion. Instead he ramped up production and hired a lot of people to get orders out faster. He knew how disappointed we would be if he closed the online retail store and Wlad doesn't like to disappoint anyone.

You can still give out business cards. Just spend a few minutes explaining how they work. Tell them to create an account then use the Contact Us form to start their profile before ordering. Let them know about the natural flavors and that they may want to drop their nicotine level. And sample, sample, sample. Sample nicotine levels, sample ratios, sample flavors. I tried everything in different ways to find what I liked the best.

We used to have a spreadsheet with every flavor on it and everyone who had tried it with their opinion. We know about spreadsheets! We're pretty serious about our Ahlusion around here. LOL. It's been gone for quite a while.

Don't worry about the Lemon Cake. There is no one to blame for any of it.

Steeping box? I have 4 of them! And a filled vape crate. One box is wrapped, sealed bottles, another for teas and chocolates, one for citrus and fruits, one for misc flavors, and another for steeping flavors. I'll have to do a flavor count when I get moved to my closet. I might faint. I almost did when I counted my tanks. I did quit buying them. Going to put some of my tanks and mods on the classifieds when we get settled in. I was into buying too much gear. Now I'm all about the juice.

I think I'm at 22 Protanks right now and could use a few more. Give me a shout if you are going to unload any of those. Got my eyes on some more flavors from the mothership and I'm terrible at waiting to try them out. I'm going to order a much larger bottle of Strawberry Vanilla Cake next time. I've been unable to stop vaping it since it came in the mail.

This line of discussion makes me feel less like a cranky old lady maybe. When I'm bored with WoW and housework I read stuff in the general liquid section here and I see so many posts about Ahlusion where I feel like no no no..please don't order from them and I haven't often pointed people in their direction because I've come to love this company and feel protective of them. Sometimes I've felt kind of bad about that, like I guess it's silly and I shouldn't be selfish - but I've been around since the first thread and the days when we could actually communicate directly with Wlad more often and I did know all this about him not being out to drum up business (so far from it!) and his true passion for the personalization and quality aspects. Plus, I *am* a little selfish. How much can one man do, how long can people expect all the customization, supreme dedication to details, if the same people who think MBV is kinda pricey and go on rants about steeping are banging down this companies doors and no doubt loading them up with ridiculous expectations, demands and complaints? It tears me up when I see people who are super new to vaping looking for mad discountz and the hot seksay vape of the day headed for Ahlusion..and tbh I have actually thrown out other imo lesser vendors as suggestions hoping to head them elsewhere. That sounds horrible doesn't it...I'm not some sort of stuck up snob at all. I know not all new people are awful, I was new, we all were. I've definitely sent a few people to them..but I've watched those people first and done it privately. Which means I'm kinda looking at Ahlusion like it's one of my kids. I want to know if the other kid plays nice first..maybe I need to get out more.

Meanwhile my new love affair with Lime Cream continues. =) Hey kids..get off my lawn!

...snip...

Actually "face time" with the FDA has ended. Certainly, during the final "step" which is Congress, they may decide to hold Congressional Hearings on the issue and this procedure may involve vapers from various segments of the vaping world testifying. That would certainly be a dramatic moment.

My previous post on the time line issue from another thread for your reading pleasure:

I think their is confusion with respect to the time line which is nine steps total before it becomes law. Obviously, the FDA regulations must be the law of the land before the two year effective date as drafted kicks in. The FDA is currently at step 6 which is the critical comment period. Step nine is the other critical step since it involves Congress and our collective opportunity to apply pressure. How fast Congress acts is any ones guess ? but based on past performance I guess at late 2015 or 2016 before it's the law of the land. I'm only offering an educated guess and understand and respect that others may disagree. ONLY then will the FDA be legally empowered to accept SE applications and the two year (as drafted) compliance period kicks in. I just covered this issue.

 

[GameDesigner]

Ummm . . . unless lawsuits and LOUD public campaigns are successful, the regs as written and intended for interpretation will outright ban all eliquid -- even 0 nicotine liquid -- along with every kind of e-cig equipment OTHER than possibly BT cigalikes.

We really are facing the Vape Apocalypse, as thoroughly sinister and ridiculous as that is!

I was away securing our new home in Austin when this went down. Is it actually this terrible? How can they ban 0 nic liquid?

Welcome back GD and congrats! The current FDA draft regs DO NOT I repeat DO NOT ban juice or hardware. They create a "de facto" ban in the eyes of many folks. That is an important distinction. The News section on the Mother ship has a great explanation.

The renowned founder of these very Forums (Oliver Kershaw aka SJ) and one of the most highly respected vapers says among other things:

"... It’s a de facto ban that makes every other potentially positive concession in the proposal irrelevant.”

Okay, how do I respond to this....
As some have accepted my intermittent attempts at low brow humor and gentle snarkiness, few have treated the rants as actually needing well thought out responses.
So... thanks for the feedback and tips. Your openness/transparency is likeable.
I'm too selfish to share my Ahlusion, ok on the biz cards but NOT the juice.

Thundernoggin beat me on the takeup of your 'extra' tanks/hardware but I hope I catch the offer when they go to the classifieds, timing, money being lined up.

I've been unable to stop vaping it since it came in the mail.

Hmmm, a few more... I have 3 ProtankIIs, 1 iClear30S and 1 iClearX1 for my VTR, everything else is either ProtankII mini (4) and Tabac T3S (6) form my eGo batts, so if Bukket has an abundance of PTIIs, I hope we all get some, or one or two.

You have a history with A+ and Wlad that a lot of us appreciate and NOW that I am more informed, will be more protective of MY juice supplier because I must continue vaping Ahlusion.

Being a part of the Lemon Cream Camp, I will offer that folks consider a re-name to L-L Cool J or Lemon-Lime Cool Juice as I am already just as big a fan of the Lime as I am the Lemon. j/k

Lime Cream is very, very good.

I would've done the same thing. You described it perfectly. That's the exact type of person we want to protect Ahlusion from or I should say stop them from bothering to order too early since they aren't going to enjoy it. I think it's best for both to recommend another vendor. We also all know at least one person that is impossible to please and doesn't play nice. Or when someone just isn't ready for Ahlusion yet. They may be at some point but not yet. I know I wasn't when I first started vaping. I learned a lot by starting out with commercial flavors and trying different vendors, flavor shots, and double sweetener!

But we've had a lot of really nice new people lately. I like that.

I'm on my last bottle of Lemon Cream! Going to have to start buying it in 60s. I had 2 30s. I swear they must've evaporated. I've been neglecting my teas for the creams and Mocha. Got an order from Fast Tech yesterday. A green Vision Spinner and a couple of new EVODs. Put Cactus Juice in one and it works great in an EVOD. Perfect timing since I have to take mom out today for some errands.

I'm really liking the 1300 Vision spinner clone. It's shorter and fatter so it stands up better and the bottom is really easy to turn.

I did that when the news story broke, good idea for every one of us, and I'm serious about Wlad. What do you do when there is trouble? Call in the Marines.

Mine are all Unique, Bella, and Elegance Carto tanks. Have a few other brands but they are all carto tanks. The Aspire Nautilus is my first large bottom coil tank. I have an iClear 30S that I use for my Pomegranate Green Tea. It came with my first MVP 2 and I really like it.

 

[clnire]

oops double post...

 

[clnire]

I lost count of the number of Evod style clearos I have. At least 12 Evods, something like 30+ Evod types (cheap from Fasttech), Protank 2, Mini Protank, Davide, Davide minis, Iclear 16 (came with my first VV3 and a contest win or two), several others. All take Evod/Protank heads which I rebuid. Plus a few drippers including an IGO L and a few others.

BTW, for those who rebuild EVOD/Protank style heads, Lightning Vapes now carries the parts! Either the whole head assembly (minus wick and wire), or just the top post, silicon top cap, resistance insulator (in either rubber or silicon), and the bottom positive pin. Packs of 10. You know all those little parts that get lost or disappear down the sink?

Products - Lightning Vapes

Plus until Sunday, get 25% off with coupon vaporjoes25.

I was away securing our new home in Austin when this went down. Is it actually this terrible? How can they ban 0 nic liquid?

The same way they can [de facto] ban drip tips and flavors: Because they WANT to. Because there is literally no logical, rational, or reasonable restraint on FDA's power to "deem" now, and because it (like all other regulatory agencies) is utterly unaccountable to the American citizenry.

I'm just not ready to move to something different like carto tanks yet. I just got bottom coil Kangers figured out and they are relatively inexpensive. Grab a couple Mini 2 tanks from the flavor vault, an Ecom, and I'm out the door quickly for work. Innokin clearos and I do not get along. I love the MVPs though. All this talk about lemon and lime cream is going to make me buy a few more tanks

This seems to happen a lot to other peoples in the Camp.

I think we should call it Lemon " Calming " Cream.
