I have not had any of those juices either but p has it right. Read the descriptions and pick a few that sound good to you. And don't be disappointed if you don't love them fresh. Give them time to steep and I bet you will be happy like the gang here!

Not stupid or anything to be embarrassed about. I've been buying Ahlusion juice for a year and a half and still I am often stunned and awed by what a steep does for some of the liquids. Until you have that first experience like you just did, it seems preposterous to expect anything much from something that was so clearly meh. I can't count the number of people on ECF who I've seen get rid of their week old Ahlusion because it didn't knock their socks off, sad for them. I'm so glad you waited and got a happy face! Hurrah!
Got into my 3 week old Tartin Apple last night and oh so good. Puts any other apple pie thingy to shame. I am still going to wait another week to taste again because even though it was good, I can tell it will still get better. Def a re-order in 30mls
A plug for Ahlusion just because they solicited feedback. I got an email last week asking for my impressions of the initial sample order I received mid-April, and here was my reply:
They acknowledged that many vapers post public feedback and asked nothing more than I provide an honest and fair review, with no request for links. The email was very professional and pleasant, and appeared to be quite sincerely soliciting feedback to better tailor their product to individual needs. They also replied to my email thoughtfully and directly - it was clearly not a form letter. I was extremely impressed with the communication. Thumbs-up to Ahlusion LLC!

I'm not sure what Wlad wrote, but if he eliminates profiles, I don't think it would make much difference to me. I can't think of any juice that I wouldn't like in a generic XPress version; for most flavors, it wouldn't matter a lot. As they keep expanding (I haven't seen Wlad's or Alley's names on an invoice for many months), more effort has to be expended on things other than mixing juice. I think it may be better to have a standard recipe for each flavor -- for them and for us. Less room for error, misunderstanding and long waits. And in the more distant future, we may have much larger worries than these.
If the FDA's deeming regulations go into effect as is, we're looking at a couple years of legal challenges, uncertainty and maybe panic, and perhaps the end of premium bottled e-liquid. I hope everyone here is getting educated, interested and active. I think most people on this thread will find a way to survive the vape apocalypse. But there are 40 million smokers out there, and for their sakes, we need to work to keep the option to vape Ahlusion (and other quality juices) alive.

No. The aromatics are all CO2-extracted, and are very, very powerful. They taste like strong pipe tobaccos, and those that have complementary flavors are perfectly matched with those flavors; that is, the burley of Maple Burley is an ideal foil to its subtle and delicious maple sugar. Most of the non-aromatics are extracted using different methods, and use cavendish tobacco as a base. The tobacco in these is generally there as a platform for other flavors. The tobacco is not always the star.
All of the aros are excellent. I think a consensus of fans would be that the unflavored Blue Grass Burley and the English pipe blend Devil Dog!, along with Vurley (vanilla beans extracted with tobacco), would be excellent representatives. But they all have fans (and haters).
The non-aros range far and wide. Among those usually listed as favorites, Smooth Criminal and Caramel Wildwood probably get the biggest raves. For me, the coffee-infused tobacco JG Blend is also in that league.
The aros require no steeping at all. They are at their best fresh. For the non-aros, you may like them new, old or in-between. I don't vape Smooth C or JG till they're at least two months old. Others like them fresh, but those people are, of course, wrong Wrong WRONG.
And your post should be part of the explanation of the two types of tobacco vapes on the Ahlusion website. You explained it very clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you.
I'm still 10 pages behind but had to post from the 1440s...
Instead of Ahlusion Part Deux I suggest Ahlusion - Again OR Ahlusion - Do Over to the next thread creator
That might become Ahlusion - Mad Chats
Ok, read the whole post again ... Ahlusion Juicers

Yeah, I'm not complaining at all, just want to make note, because it won't be too much longer before we have a part 2 thread.

I can totally understand this. It's what made me stop smoking in the first place. I was disgusted with the taxes and regulations. But I moved my addiction to gum and lozenges. Then found vaping.
You can always buy PG and VG and food flavoring. They can't stop that.
I wish I was made that way. I just can't go without. I can switch addictions easily. But I have to have nicotine.
We have no idea what will happen. I do know that Ahlusion has done more work to be ready to pass any regs than most vendors. I don't follow many others so I can't say that there aren't any others doing the same. But I do know there are a lot that aren't ready. I'm staying where I am, enjoying my juice as long as I can, and supporting a vendor that is putting his money into being prepared for the future.
thank you ! this description is what should be on their site. i think i shall order bluegrass burley, devil dog, smooth criminal and house blend. the wildwoods are likely not for me.
I agree! This is the best explanation I have had and now I know what to order
The only other one I know of that is also preparing is Mountain Oak Vapor. I like them.
I just placed a big order, so I am extremely excited to see what the fuss is about. I ordered the following:
Sweet Strawberry
Sweet Virginia
Spiced Pumpkin Latte
Caramel Wild Wood
Strawberry Vanilla Cake
Kona Kick
Blueberry Vanilla Cake
Caramel Coffee
Can't wait to start tracking the package!

The wildwood vanilla tobacco is so different from Vaperites vanilla tobacco. ThAhlusion's almost has a cinnomin flavor compared to vaperite's pure vanilla+tabacco. The are both top notch and I won't buy any vape from a company not listed on the natural tobacco's thread (learned the hardway).
But I think Vaporite had this one beat unless there is another Ahlussion vanilla tobacco I should try?

Your first order? Congratulations! =) I hope that you get as much pleasure from Ahlusion as I have. All of those are known winners except maybe for Spiced Pumpkin Latte. It's one of only 2 true disappointments I've experienced from Ahlusion out of the 70+ I've tried. To explain: I first came to Ahlusion when I was trying to convert my husband to vaping. I had heard they did great tobacco so many of the flavors I bought hoping to cross him over were tobaccos and things that don't appeal to me- but whether I personally loved them or not the quality of the recipes was unmistakable...they were selling shockingly good juices. Ahlusion is the place where things taste like top shelf versions of what they are named after. Wlad doesn't do half okay, passable stuff just to have it available for customers. So when I say the SPL was a fail I mean that in a year of steeping it never came around to resembling an actual Pumpkin Latte. It didn't make me want to puke- not a rank liquid or anything and tbh probably better than a vast majority of other vendors stuff- but I felt it was a recipe that didn't gel. Of course I got mine over a year ago and taste is subjective so hopefully yours will make you happy...but even if not, the other 7 you have are excellent choices!
Cinnamon? I don't get that at all. Bear in mind that all the non-aromatics will change over time. Give it a few weeks.
If it still doesn't do it for you, you can try Vecchio, which has a different vanilla (I think) and a different tobacco base to it (lighter, less forward). And then there's Vurley, which is an aromatic vanilla-infused burley.
Continuing to acquire summer vapes, I just placed another order
30s of Fijian Nights and Melonade
Applied another 15% feedback coupon

Whew! Hoping you are right on this one Chanel. I just tried out my Tartin Apple last night (5 days from shipped to me) and was very unimpressed. I'll give it another 3-4 weeks and try again.
Clark at Nicoticket was telling me about his preparations to put him in a good position for what he anticipates the new regs will be too.
