Actually, they DO have alcohol- it's right there on the label, and Wlad has confirmed it for me. I routinely ignore his recommendation, and leave the caps off for 24-48 hours in a closed drawer to let the alcohol evaporate.

You are absolutely right. Not sure how I never noticed that.
The alcohol is not really noticeable to me like it is with other vendors.
I've never left the caps off when steeping and that's worked for me.
I agree, I have tried over 20 flavors from Ahlusion and I do not notice any alcohol. Actually I vape all my Ahlusion right from the mail box. I never found steeping to improve, I like them fresh.
With that said, only one ejuice I have noticed the alcohol in and man do you notice it, Banana Fosters. This is the ONLY one I need to steep. Very potent if vaped right away. After a week to 2 weeks it's good. But for the rest I vape right away with no alcohol smell or taste.
I just placed my second order with Ahlusion. After a previous discussion in this thread I took the advice of others and ordered my Ricks Request and Blueberry Vanilla Cake in a 50/50 mix. I totally wish it was here already.

I had trouble with Orange Nocturne. It had an boozy taste and a slight bitterness to me. I kept it for a few months and it just never truly matured into something I could enjoy. I finally gave it to a friend. I have over 20 flavors from Ahlusion and although there are a couple that are not for my tastes, they are all quality liquids. That was the only one that I could not enjoy in any way.
Ok 10 days later I gave it another shot, this time with an RDA, not bad at allJust got my order!
Not a big fan (or a little fan lol) of the lemon cream
much more cream and less lemon, but still enough lemon to make it an interesting flavor Now I just need to get it with more VG and less nicotine to fit the RDA better.
An alcohol content of < .07% is truly a negligible amount. No wonder I don't detect it! I still feel that leaving the cap off is unnecessary and can allow for the possible introduction of contaminants as your first post points out.
Kona Kick has a boozy quality to me. That one had to steep for quite awhile. I still found it enjoyable. I'm not sure if it was the OEA or if it's just a boozy coffee.
I feel the same way about Ahlusion. There are a few liquids not to my liking, but all of them are quality.
I have not tried the River Tree tobaccos. BnJ posted a really good comparison of the WW, RT and HB tobaccos though a few weeks ago that you might find useful.
To the guys or gals asking about the differences between the tobaccos:
Ok, these are my impressions/thoughts about the differences, take it as me really knowing.....or not, lol.
All of Ahlusion's tobaccos are natural. I think the differences lie in impact, sweetness, dryness, and smokiness.
The house blends are low in impact and smokiness, from what I can ascertain. They also are the longest steepers of all. I'm not certain of their sweetness alone, because my favorites of this group (Maple and Cherry) are already comprised of sweet flavors. Never had the standalone House Blend. I think it's like 90% secondary flavor, 10% tobacco.
The river tree blends are a step up in tobacco impact or presence. Good level of sweetness, also paired with a smokey flavor. Eh, maybe 30% tobacco, after a long steep.
The wild woods are not too different than the river tree blends in that both have the smokey component. The smokiness seems more pronounced with the Wild Woods, though after generally a month, it recesses a bit. I think it's opposite for the river tree blends. River tree blends taste similar to the Wild Woods, but only after a loooong steep. I like their balance of flavoring and tobacco level the most. I also definitely prefer the Wild Woods out the box and with a steep, though the oldest Wild Wood I have is cherry, at almost 3 months old, and only about 4mls left. The rest I wore out like an old pair of dancing shoes (that means I vaped them quickly).
Smooth Criminal, Peachy Criminal, and I'm assuming Just Criminal since I've not tried it yet, are a bit different than the other blends. They start out sweet, some say messy, in their beginning; but they have the biggest transformation, like ever, LOL. The tobacco impact in these are like House Blend at the start, but after a few months, their tobacco gets in the country club. Never shutting down the club, though, LOL. They are the smoothest, duh, while still getting a pleasant throat hit from them. They also get a bit drier as they age. Still flavorful, still sweet (not as sweet as young Criminal(s)), still spicy, still my favorite tobaccos. I pretty much can vape them in all stages, though I prefer them when they reach age 21.
My order came in yesterday, into the steep cupboard it goes...will probably try in a month or so and update then...got the gold member and lemon cream in 70/30 blend and lime cream 90/10 for mom...seems to smell pretty good though
I migrated from a PT2 to a Igo-W to a gaggle of Kayfun. Some of the later are the real deal and others are clones. I suggest you migrate to a Igo-w for several reasons:
Drippers (RDA) always have a place in your "army", especially if you use silica and switch flavors often like I do via a dry burn and or light the silica on fire or a quick wash.
It's an inexpensive (like around $15) way to experience the enhanced flavor of some AHL juices and is about the same flavor enhancements as the KF crowd at a significantly lower cost
It's an ideal device to practice your build skills
It's simple so you don't need to deal with 8 different parts
You may stop chasing flavor with your dripper which is fine since their are plenty of more expensive drippers with things like air flow control, deeper decks, squonkers, and the list goes on and on. I upgraded my drippers and love the options they provide.
If possible, I suggest you buy your Igo-w at a local B&M so they can enlarge the air holes if you need that.
Hopefully our very own Jerms will chime in with some thoughts since I think he has a gaggle of low cost (think FT) drippers and rotates them depending on what flavor he wants to vape.
EDIT: Inexpensive Drippers are usually available for purchase via numerous sources. The same can not be said for the real deal KFL+ V2 or the very high end clones like the Russian 91% or the "Black" KF clone which IMHO is the best clone available. All of these devices are 510 threading so your all set with your ProVari and the AW IMR button top 18650 which ProVape sells is fine.
Good luck and HTH
Thanks, SeniorBoy. I checked out the lgo-w, but can't figure out what it is or does. Does it have a tank? Does it screw on to a battery? More research needed....
For some of us, NO amount of alcohol is negligible, even though it may be more of a psychological issue. It's the message we're sending ourselves by avoiding any amount whenever possible.
Just got my order today of pineapple cream, chocolate cream, mocha,maple dream, melon masquerade,and st pattys shamrock-Yay!
Still trying to get it down to room temperature before I dig in
Love to hear your thoughts on Pineapple Cream. I ordered a big bottle a few nights ago without trying a small bottle first just based on how much I love Lemon Cream.
If you like the lemon cream you'll LOVE the pineapple! It's my 2nd fave, right behind Maple Dream.
I also received vapemail yesterday.
Big Bottle of Lemon " Calming " Cream.
Small bottle of Blueberry Vanilla Cake. I really liked the small bottle of XPress before so I am anxious to try it fresh from a glass bottle. It also has Vanilla in the title so enough said.
Small bottle of Vanilla Black Tea. Vanilla again and I really like this one.
Small bottle of Maple Wild Wood. This one is becoming a repeat order for me since I like it so much. I have added Maple Dream to my Wish List due to your posts yesterday.
Oh what's this, a Free Sample of Lemon Vanilla Cake. I thought some of you were joking when you posted you had received some of this. Very anxious to try this one and I was very pleased that Ahlusion accommodated my freebie request for this flavor. Not sure when they will officially post this flavor on the Website.
They also threw in a second Free Sample which I thought was extremely nice - Apple Wild Wood. Considering how much of the Wild Woods I have ordered in the past, this was a very nice token since I have not tried this one before.

Question for y'all. Is Smooth Criminal really out of stock on the website for anyone besides me? The website shows "notify me" but also shows "Available" with five green stars under it. Yet no "Order Box". Anyone else see what I see?
It's not just you, but if I were you (I can't right now), I would call to make sure it is in fact OOS. Sometimes their computer system bases that stock on sales (I think), but not on whether they actually have it in stock. I say that because too many times I have checked by calling only to find out that they do have it in stock and they weren't aware that the system was saying otherwise.
