Or maybe he's trying to make it even less likely that someone will order them thinking they're going to taste like HHV, and then post here that they were tricked into buying this horrible ashtray sludge. They already have descriptive copy on the aros' pages practically warning everyone to stay away, but every few weeks we see a post like the one a few to the north here by someone shocked that a juice described by its maker as a "bold, uncompromising blend" is bold and uncompromising. So, raise the price and make them think twice? Maybe.

Oh dear cherry... Forgive me my aversion to your beloved aros.. and believe me, I really wanted to like them. I even bought them twice just to check for sure. But alas, I can not hang. Just be happy you're one of the cool cats who can.

I wasn't referring to you, but to the poster from today who felt it necessary to say not just that he doesn't like them, but that they taste like an ashtray, a beer can full of cigarette butts, and a spittoon attached to a hookah. There are lots of juices I don't care for, but I'm not insulting toward them. I just thought it was pointless. Why would anyone who did any basic research (like reading the description on the page where they're ordered) think those juices are anything but what they are -- bold, powerful tobacco flavors?

I'm one of many who have found these to be amazing, revelatory flavors. It's not either cool or not cool to like them. But saying they taste like cigarette butts is akin to standing in front of a Jackson Pollack canvas and saying, "You call that art, huh? My five-year-old could do that!"

Bottom line: Ahlusion's aromatic tobaccos are very strong, raw tobacco flavors. They bear no resemblance to the non-aromatics. You should try one small bottle first before plunging in and buying a bunch. Maybe you'll love them. Maybe you won't. Don't be shocked if you don't.

You know what Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries tastes like AND you are a tobacco connoisseur. Now that, that is what I find hilarious.

Okay, so vaping this 90% VG Peach River Tree Blend is interesting. First off, I think it is quite tasty. Yes, it is very tasty. I swear, if this liquid was packaged and sold as a "new" liquid in the NLV line, well, the NLV fans would be in love. If this was sold as a new liquid from the AVE line, well, the AVE heads would go berserk. Because this is from Ahlusion, and paired against their standards, some may feel it is just another liquid. I beg to differ.

Anywho, what is interesting about this liquid is that while I do get mild tobacco and peach, and then a mild peach tobacco, post exhale, there is another taste experience on the initial nose and taste of inhale/exhale that is hilarious and delicious. This liquid tastes and smells like Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries! Did I say that? Yes. It drove me nuts but my wife and I figured it out this morning.

How and why does it taste like that along with peach and tobacco? Dunno.

The liquid is clear as water with the faintest "peach" color around the peripheries (it may just be my painter's eye noticing it). I know that this liquid changes to more of a peach and tobacco flavor, but until then, I'll enjoy my Crunch Berries. LOL

Here's the fresh liquid:

Oh, you all can add Peach River Tree Blend to the list of liquids that taste like it needs no steeping right out-of-the-mail.

Thank you very much for your response to that. Now I can venture forth to order the Boba Tea with my next order.

I just need to decide.. 10ml or go all in on a 30ml bottle. The thing is, I never buy 30ml of a new to me juice, and rarely get that much in a re-order. Even if I really, really like a juice.. my attention is just rarely held for that amount of juice. Smooth Crim is a 30ml re-order, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Boba plain will be too.

Screw it, big bottle on that too. It will be vaped, or at least a welcome PIF for someone.

Yeah Chai Latte is already a sweet beverage, and the vape was sweet like a Chai Latte. For the Ahl juices that have the sweetned option, it's usually a choice of sweet or extra sweet, not sweetened or unsweetened, if that makes sense. I never choose the option to add extra sweetener; that's really only for people who've had the juice and still want it sweeter or already know they like their vapes extra sweet.

Thanks Jerms!

At the time I ordered the chais, they were the first Ahlusion teas I tried (plus I was only about 2 or 3 orders in with Ahlusion) and figured I'd go sweetened since that's the way I drink it at home (with a little bit of honey or agave mixed in while cooking it on the stove). This was back in early July so we didn't even have this thread yet, and all the super helpful and knowledgeable peeps that share information here.

That said, I know better now, and with the exception of Tiramisu, order all the rest of my A+ juices without the sweetener option when trying it the first time.

I'm truly thankful for all the information shared out here! :)

I've been sticking with non aros because I'm not sure if I can hang yet......if I do venture into aros which whould be the best recommendation?

I'd say one of the fruit aros. If you're cautious, which you probably should be, I'd try Sweet Georgia Peach or Maple Burley first.

and Vurly
I have not had many yet
but vurly is much less aggressive then the honey cured or even gold rising that I had before
Def a must try

Also I think device makes a dif I would suspect they don't work well in a clero

Well.. I don't know how to say this without being the bad guy, but if someone asked me what the aros taste like, the first thing that comes to mind is ash. Yes, there is rich, robust delicious tobacco underneath it, but I was so thrown by the ashy note, I could not enjoy it.

I can see how GameDesigners post could be seen as offensive, but it could also be very helpful to someone. The aros are so different than anything else out there, and are truly a love/hate kind of liquid. So we got one hater giving his take on it. I think we should be able to deal with that.

Yes people should tread lightly when they're thinking about an aro. You may love it, you may hate it.. but you will feel something. There is no apathy when it comes to these bad boys.

My take on the aros is always: they really need the right delivery device.

I just noticed that, if I am not mistaking, only the prices on the 15 mL went up. The 30 mL is only $4 more. ???

Yes now that the store is open I can see the 30 ml is close to the original price

Maybe due to the method of making that liquid it might not be as worth it to make just 15 mls at a time

Taste is subjective. Sorry Sir, I had to. :)

As you know, I'm with you on the aromatics and that style of e-liquid in general. Ahlusion aromatics are some of the best-tasting juices I've ever had. I've been shying away from them lately because of their relentless assault on coils and my love of Sahara Blend. That said, I would recommend them to anyone that wants genuine pipe tobacco flavor.

My take on the aros is always: they really need the right delivery device.

Fully. I believe GD uses Protanks, unless he has changed gear recently (entirely possible). Personally, I wouldn't vape an Ahlusion aromatic in a clearo. It's a waste. BUT, as y cherry y knows, taste is subjective. :)

I've had them in a phoniex, in a 510 drippers and a protank. Wlad recommends against carto tanks which I do not use. It tastes of strong ash in all the delivery systems I used.

I don't know if its due to the amount of wick or my build as at the time it was one of my first RDA
but honey cured was a little ashy in my phoenix but when I tried In Igo-l it was not

again it could def had been my inexperience at the time
I don't use my phoenix anymore but no issues with vurly in Igo

but again that one is much less aggressive then honey cured

It's not a problem with my equipment.. its the juice. Maybe there would be subtle differences with a different atty or build.. but its the heart of the liquid I don't care for. The smell of it is ash. The taste of it is ash. Why would a different atty make it not taste like ash? You honestly don't taste or smell ash? I can't conceive of it.

I think what's going on here is differences in taste buds. Like some people taste soap in cilantro, or ash in the aros...
