I think I said in the comments that any one of several different samples was fine, in case any of them weren't available for samples, since I was aware some weren't. I wasn't fussy about which one I got, I just wanted the chance to try another juice and get a feel for the flavors. I know at least one of the ones I asked for was available as Xpress, so I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to do a sample of it, you know?

My flavors:
Deal Maker (meh.)
Berry Shangri La (slightly better, but nothing to write home about)
Xpress Tiramisu (bleeeh, this is the first time I've hated a tiramisu ejuice)

All are 50/50 and 6mg.

I mean, it's great that y'all love them and feel they're worth the hassle. But I had a nightmare of a time just opening my stupid account on the site to make a wishlist, let alone getting an order in, because their hours are so incompatible with mine. And then it took a while for them to even get my order together... and then shipping time... and now I'm supposed to wait several weeks or MONTHS before I can use them? I don't have time for all of that! Add to that the lack of samples, free or otherwise, and the price, and the nauseating sweetness of the otherwise "just okay" juices, and I honestly don't understand why anyone would subject themselves to that. Especially not when I've got one fantastic online vendor and two brick-and-mortars within easy driving distance that make juice that tastes a lot better to me with absolutely none of this bizarre hassle. It's cool they're not doing this to make a profit, but for my own sanity, I think I'd rather order from someone who is. I'm glad other people like them so much, but trying to deal with the company and make the ejuices work for me is just too much for me, lol.

Man, I'm so sorry. I would be completely turned off by them as well.

I actually really wasn't thrilled with my order either. Boba Tea and Cha Yen Orange Blossom are really gross to me. W&A Sasparilla was okay, but yeah, nothing to write home about. Ginger Apple Tea is basically pure ginger with a tiny bit of something that I imagine is supposed to be tea. Black Fairy is nearly unvapeable for me because it's SO sweet. It tastes like a black jelly bean covered in aspartame.

I've placed one more order with them now that I have a better sense of the juices that I like. Hopefully these work out, otherwise I'm going to take a page out of your book and stop ordering from them.

I didn't like my AiV package either. Very few of the AiV flavors I tried had any flavor at all, and the ones that did were still pretty nonexistent. They all have this powdery, peppery base, and it's INCREDIBLY strong. I've actually ruined one of my tanks by keeping some AiV in there. I can't get that powdery taste out, and it overpowers everything else I put in it even after multiple cleanings.

Just curious, but which sample did you order? I'm asking because a lot of their blends aren't available as samples, and they sneak it into a place on the juice's page. It can be kind'f hard to notice.

It's right at the top of the description highlighted in yellow. You consider that sneaking? It's completely obvious.

Maybe "sneaking" was a bit hyperbolic? Thanks for the screenshot though! ;)

A potential reason for why it can be difficult to find things on their website such as sample or blend availability is that their website's kind'f a mess. It's probably better than some vapor shops, but the bar hasn't been set very high. I, for one, developed a pretty neat ability during the geocities and angelfire days to block out obnoxiously formatted text.

Wow, it's amazing how differently people can see things. I find their site to be very clean-looking and easy to navigate, and the search function for information works well too. In my experience if there ever is a question one can't fully answer there, an email to them gets a quick response, too.

I'm surprised you didn't like the tiramisu. I bought from the xpress line, in 18 and 24 mg strengths..I thought flavors in both were spot on, they were sweet, but not overly so, to me it tasted exactly like tiramisu. I had my wife take a puff (she didn't know the flavor) and immediately said "that tastes just like tiramisu!"....she's not a vaper. I'm wondering if perhaps the lower nic levels increased the sweetness, or perception of such?

I'm using a P+16, with an igo-L, currently with a coil at 1ohm, with a cotton wick....prior to that I was using regular, LR atties, and a protankII. I've also tasted them on an SVD.

I get that taste is subjective, and am not trying to just defend Ahlusion....I have just been really pleased with the flavors I've tried, and have received great CS, both in person, and via the web. I just would like everyone to enjoy their vape as much as I am.

I've not tried a whole lot yet but heres what I know so far
Berry Shangri La is def 1 of the more sweet tea's ive tries (not as sweet as my coconut boba)
However its more sweet out of the mail it does lessen some after 2 weeks but still sweeter then caramel pear black tea

caramel pear black tea is really good a little sweet but not too much
but again more sweet out of the mail

tobacco's that are not aromatic are big steeper's
I have not tried deal maker however Smooth criminal is said to be 6 weeks
I got a big bottle and have been vaping its 2 weeks and its so but I know its supposed to change hence the bigger bottle ( I knew I would not hold out on this one and did not want a wrong impression)
My other tobacco's are 2 and a half weeks I only sampled maple wild wood in a dripper I can see it will be another week or 2

I have not tried Tiramisu but I've read the contrary cherry is not overly sweet so I ordered that express for my wife But have not gotten yet

A new site can be hard to see everything I had to ask how to get the free sample the first time I ordered
the 2nd time I seen the instructions but the first time I looked everywhere and did not see
This can happen with any new site

In fact for my line of work I some times have to navigate some of my venders when its new to me sometimes the simplest things can be frustrating

Ordered me some XPress Smooth Criminal in 30ml 18mg. Yah, I got the Vurley to hold me over until the 60ml SC is steeped, as I'm very nearly out of my first SC bottle. But c'mon.. you didn't really expect me to go without SC that long, did you? haha

Thanks again for the idea SharonMM. Dunno why it didn't occur to me that they might have it in XPress!

I had a coupon code (from my feedback email) but didn't know it had to be added within the shopping cart for a specific item, so I added it in the comment box. (I didn't even look at my shopping cart, I went straight to check out. ) That doesn't work, but Wlad said he'd extend it For my next order.

I have a 60mil bottle of SC with its cap off steeping now. I'm almost out of the xpress SC that's in my tank....I'm going to have to try really hard not to break into that big bottle before it's just right.

I also have a 30mil bottle of Contrary Cherry...I tried a few drops yesterday, less than 24 hours after mixing. It wasn't bad, not too sweet, but I have a feeling it will get really good after a week or two. The Cocoa Blend is really good right out of the mail. A coworker said my vape smelled like one of our coworkers good pipe tobacco. Haven't tried the Devil Dog I got yet, I'll give it a go tonight.

I've been dripping the chocolate raspberry all day today, and it is very good. Not very sweet, more like a dark chocolate, with a hint of raspberry. I'm hoping the berry flavor will come out more with steeping, but it is still enjoyable. I liked the Mojito, but I'm leaving it alone for a few days, to see what it does.

Are you sure you want to keep the cap off? Wlad says it's not necessary or recommended for his juices. It's generally only needed if there's a fair amount of alcohol, I think.

Those are two I want to try...Contrary Cherry (even though I have read a lot of mixed reviews) and Chocolate Raspberry. They will be on my next order.

I was skeptical about this at first

but it works, I have had great success with ahlusion just 5 min cap off when I get them
