Ahlusion E-juice

[Apptiger]

It still says N.A. on the FedEx site--thanks anyway.

New update though. Package left Grove Dity at 4:50 a.m. today and arrived at FedEx Smartpost in Grove City at 1:15p.m. Looks like the drunk pigeon is about to hand-off to the USPS Eagle. This is so much more efficient than using USPS. I can only hope my juices are getting as agitated as I am.

Sorry Papa, hope your shipment arrives soon. Strangely enough Fed Ex got it here when the said they would. It was a grand day to get a package from Wlad, Alley & Co.

Yesterday was smoke free day 330 and today was my two year anniversary of walking away from the stink. Sleigh Ride, Smooth Crim, Boba +Coffee, Lime Cream, W&A Sasparilla, Vecchio, Kent's blend and Gold Member are in the house. Caps are back on and shaking complete.

Let the steep begin!

Oh and W&A Sas is already in the tank.

Glad to hear it. Steep away and good vaping.

BTW, I misspoke. My package went from Grove City to Smartpost in Grove PORT, Ohio. Left there at about 5pm for parts unknown. The best part is that Grove Port is actually a mile further away from me. I usually spend my winter days watching snow melt, but I'm finding FedEx tracking much more interesting.

I just got Mango Lassi, Gold Rising, Devil Dog, Bluegrass Burley, Smooth Criminal and JG Blend today, and SC and JGB are the only xpress ones. They show a best by date of 3/14, while the rest show a best by of 7/14. Is it reasonable to think that the xpress ones have already been steeped 3 months since the rest were custom and are 6 months out?

I also have 3 30mls of Vurley, Sahara Blend, and another Bluegrass Burley (thanks to Wlad for fixing my mistake), coming tomorrow so I'm pretty geeked

The only other question is which to try first having never had A+ before?

To clarify my initial taste tests:

- Contrary Cherry had very little cherry flavor…too much perfumy-ness.
- Orient Whisper, I could definitely taste the lychee, but it also had a bit of perfume/alchohol taste in with it. It was still good, but just hoping to get it better. It's been a while since I had lychee, so maybe its just the flavor.

Neither are "bad", but I am assuming both will get better. I didn't really expect them to be perfectly melded together as they were only a few hours old.

Had the tops off them for a little bit this afternoon, and been shaking them every chance I get. Not definitive, but even the smell is a bit different now that I have been airing them out and shaking. They are now in the "drawer" where the rest of my juices reside for a rest.

Any thing else I should be doing to help? Seen some other posts about heating, and shaking, and ultrasonics….some people are crazy. I am assuming that just plain old fashioned time is all that is really needed. But as I said, I am still learning….so if there is anything else I should be doing…let me know.

Orient Whisper really comes together after 2 weeks
Contrary Cherry I don't know how long but it is supposed to be more subtle then sweet cherry something

 

[SharonMM]

Hmmm, contrary cherry...

For some reason I had it in my brain that it was a cherry/lime. Like the sour lime was contradicting the sweet cherry.. hence the name.

But now I see I had it all wrong, its actually a cherry vanilla. Coming to this realization is almost as good as seeing a new flavor on the menu for the first time. I added it to the wishlist, which is actually pretty sparse at the moment. Damn you, Spartans, lol.

I'm having a bit of an issue with Fedex as well..leaving Maryland headed to WV only to come back to Richmond,VA supposedly by Fri. Seven days after shipping out. An option to use USPS would be great if possible.

I would try the SC first and then the JG then the BGB, then DD. mildest to strongest? Guessing a little never had the BGB and DD just heard about them. Of course you could just jump into to the deep end of the pool and start with the DD.
Enjoy.

Spending the morning dripping some Shipwrecked. I'm enjoying it. The coconut has settled in nicely with the light tobacco. It also has me wishing I was on an island.

After sitting in "ready for shipment" limbo for almost two days, my Contrary Cherry and Midnight Cherry are on the way to my mailbox.



Unfortunately, my MVP V1 button fell off yesterday, so I wont be able to use that for vaping....

Fortunately, I have lots of other power sources.

Now begins the "FedEx Follies".

Today my package of strawberry vanilla cake, coco berry cream ,jungle juice,caramel WW, and vecchio comes!! Yeah, never tried any of these before...are there any that are good right away?

I loved the SVC and CBC right out of the mail, but after 2 weeks they were even better (more blended, balanced, true flavor).
I haven't tried the JJ, CWW or Vecchio.

Caramel WW starts out with a rich an decadent caramel flavor, many seem to love it right away. The caramel starts backing off after a few weeks if you find it too intense. I liked it for short sessions fresh, but like it a lot more steeped. StrawVanCake really improves after a couple weeks, but is still enjoyable fresh. I've only had well-steeped Vecchio and Jungle Juice, not sure how they are fresh. The steeped Jungle Juice I have has an amazing banana flavor, so if it doesn't have that fresh it will in time.

SVC good to go -- it's almost universally agreed.
I liked the CWW ok OOB but better after a few weeks. Some folks have said it's too sweet or rich and buttery fresh.
The Vecchio I think is a steeper. Before 2-4 weeks it was a bit odd for me.

Agree with all of that, and as much as I can't believe I am going to say this, I am about to reorder CWW and SC. I guess I will vape CWW (and a few more WWs) while the SC gets to know itself. I tell ya', having a quick steeper is definitely a good thing.

So I d(r)ipped back into Ginger Apple Tea last night. When I opened the bottle, I smelled the apple that I hadn't tasted back when I first tried it. Now, the apple has come out to play. A nice, comforting vape.

Going back to this juice and really enjoying it confirms that I love the 3-month mark for almost all Ahlusion juices -- it's like they get into their groove from the 2- to 4-month period for me.

Thanks Apptiger -- so do you think the Xpress ones (SC and JG Blend) have already been steeped for 3 months if the best buy date says March 2014?

 

[papabogart]

For anyone who still cares (I know I'm losing interest), The package arrived at 11 am today at FedEx Smartpost in Clinton, Pa. (that's 102 miles ESE of me). That makes the third state. Swartz Creek, Mi. is 254 miles from me. So far my package has traveled 755 miles and it's still 102 miles away.. It's not in the hands of the USPS yet, but will be eventually.
I do have an estimated date for delivery now: 1/17/14.

Unfortunately, using USPS First Class, the package I ordered from Altsmoke (50miles away) Monday afternoon (1/13/14) didn't get to me until Tuesday morning (1/14/14).

I'm confused, what was the point of choosing FedEx over USPS?

 

[ShariR]

Thanks Apptiger -- so do you think the Xpress ones (SC and JG Blend) have already been steeped for 3 months if the best buy date says March 2014?

Pretty sure that is the case. Ahlusion puts a 6 month expiration date on their juices. I got a few of the Xpress sale juices dated like that and 2 of them I am pretty sure were like ones I had steeped for a couple of months. But they may have been ones that did not need a lot of steep. I think the big sale was clearing out Xpress stock at end of year.

Here is where I am unsure. They are capped. If I read everyone's comments correctly, you still need to go through a regular steep process. Most here say steeping starts after YOU open the bottle for a few minutes to start the process.

Feedback from others please.
