Anyone put their A+ in the frig when it steeps to your desired perfection? I like Lemon Cream fresh, but it didn't dawn on me until this weekend to put it in the frig to slow the steeping process. It's a month old, but still has a good amount of lemon flavor vs my older bottle. (older bottle is 12mg stuff I'm slowly adding to current 18mg)

expert advice please:
Is there any reason one would NOT order the Wildwood's (Vanilla and Caramel) from the Express line on order to avoid the lengthy steep times?

I found the CWW XPress not as flavorful as the pretty Glass Bottle. I am 30 VG / 70 PG, and I recall someone else posting a comment that this ratio had the most flavor in comparison.

I never have to worry about steeping the two you mentioned. When I pop the lids I make a point of plowing them to completion.

Were you using cartos with the xpress juices? The 30vg/70pg is the "best" ratio for those and clearomizers.

I think 50vg/50pg and even 70vg/30pg were plenty flavorful. I mainly drip, but I've had Ahlusion in almost every juice delivery system.

Hi. If you have only been vaping since December you may need to give it another couple of months for your tastebuds to really come around. When I started vaping June 2013 I had to vape stronger flavors and 24mg. It was not until September that I was able to start enjoying some subtle flavors. Now, things I did not like or could not fully taste are starting to blossom. So the taste thing can take more time than you think.

It also makes a difference depending on what toppers you are using. And the steep of the liquid. And other factors. I still have certain flavors that I do not taste correctly. I can't stand cheesecakes, they all just taste off to me. I do not care for some of the cake bases several vendors use. Most people love them so I know it is my tastebuds.

You should be glad you weren't in Maine this winter, we had about 6" of snow yesterday! Where did you work in Maine? I'm on the coast, but we spend a lot of time up in the woods of Maine.

Oh yeah, no good vape shops here, I envy those who are in areas where they have a lot of them!

I need strong flavors, which is the biggest reason I'm anxious to try dripping, but I also want to get a rebuildable tank for ease of use when it isn't easy to drip.

A lot of people say Lemon Cream is good FOOB, but I' not really tasting anything yet. Probably I killed off my taste buds from smoking for all those years. I feel like I'm spending all this money for really good juices, and not getting the benefit of them in my ordinary tanks.

I let my bottle of Caramel Wild Wood steep for 2 whole days. It was delicious. I think the main reason I avoid express is because there are so many juices that I love fresh. But then if I liked it I'd be ordering a larger bottle in my ratio and get to taste it fresh then!

Don't forget that express juices don't count towards the $20 needed for a free sample.

My order says it should be here Saturday! CWW is going in a tank. I just have to pick the right one for it. I'm thinking the lovely tan swirl Bella with a Bedazzled tube of leaves and grapes :)

Vaping Mimosa-Pomegranate, Lime Cream, and CPBT tonight. If you like Pomegranate Black Tea or want a pomegranate without black tea then I highly recommend the Mimosa-Pomegranate. It's a really bright, fresh, full flavored juice and the pomegranate is amazing. And I don't even like champagne!

I discovered that the bottle of Caramel Pear Black Tea (60ml) that I have left is 50/50. It doesn't taste half as good as my usual 30/70. I had to order another bottle. I have no idea why I ordered the large size when I decided to try 50/50 but I did it in every tea. I'll slowly use it up by adding a bit to new bottles but I'm sticking to 30/70 as long as I'm using carto tanks.

The biggest problem with the glass bottles is that they don't breathe at all so it takes a lot longer to steep. If you put some into a 10ml plastic bottle it will steep much faster. Even the Ahlusion plastic bottles are made of a higher grade plastic to keep the juice fresh. I love the glass bottles since I do buy in large sizes and have so much juice in stock. I know that my juice is going to last a long time.

I still have some old plastic bottles of juice from other vendors. I opened one the other day. Not only is the juice black but it had eaten the dropper off the bottle! I need to clean out the bin and throw them all away.

I just ordered my first bottle of CPBT in 30/70 and can not wait to see what it tastes like. I always get it in 50/50.

I had that bottle thing happen to me on a few older juices in small bottles. The bottle itself got squishy and the juice was very syrupy. In the garbage it went. Can not remember who it was from, but a little sample bottle of something, not Ahlusion.

IMO neither requires a long steep time. I like them FOOB.

Haven't had much Ahlusion lately but cracked into some CWW that's been hanging around since November. I have to say the caramel has diminished significantly and is losing it's shine. Getting a LOT more of the WW tobacco-ish notes now. If you really like the full sweetness of this one vape it up sooner than later.

Can someone recommend an easy to use and easy to maintain Tank system to use on my Provari?

I am presently using an IBTanked with Cartos. Unfortunately, I have had a bad last week with Cartos.

It would be appreciated if Links could be provided for purchase locations also. I have seriously thought of the Kayfun but I have time constraints at present for this learning curve. I would like an easy spin on Tank for now that can provide satisfactory flavor for the Ahlusion juices.

I am using 30 VG / 70 PG Ahlusion juice at present and I will continue with this ratio.

For rebuildable tanks, there is the Russian and the Kayfun Lite, as I'm sure you're aware.

For non-rebuildables, there is the Kanger Protank (although, you could rebuild the heads for these if desired). I hear the 2 is more liked than the 3. There is also the Aspire Nautilus that a lot of people seem to be digging currently. It also has air flow control -- pretty nice feature, I think. And it holds 5ml of juice.


From what I've been seeing, besides the Nautilus, the Kanger Aerotank is better than either the 2 or the 3. Both the Nautilus and the Aerotank have really good reviews. I've been trying to get one or the other of them for a long time, but unfortunately, none of the places I've ordered from have either one. Now I'm undecided on them because I'm thinking about getting into rebuildables.

:2c: For tank talk. I don't rebuild so no comment. I have recently upped from eGo to Itaste VTR. It came with an iClear30S (upper coil, wick, perf cartos) looking thing and it was pretty good on the flavor and the draw until I draw faster than the wicks feed the coil.

I went to a Protank II vs 3 for a couple of reasons, single bottom coil, glass tank, available airflow control base, cheap coils (T3S versions v Kanger). The 3 is a dual coil and no airflow control. Aerotank is expensive and dual coil also.

You already have to much feedback on this so I'm done. :)

This is an interesting comment by TexasVet. When I first started with Ahlusion I bought the 60 ML Bottle size for cost effectiveness (Price per ML). I also purchase the 10 ML size as I try new Ahl flavors.

In my last number of orders I am now purchasing the 30 ML Bottle size for my favs. As I am progressing further I now prefer the 30 ML size so I am curious what preferences you have for Bottle size.

I have tossed a couple of flavors because they were so bad to the budds so I'm glad they were 7 and 10 ml bottles not 30s. I now have Lemon Cream, Peachy Criminal, Zing and Orange Creamsicle in 30s. (also FVFRY4-Voodoo-Tribeca-GJ4-Organic#1 don't tell Wlad :) )

The other thing I pondered since the subject came up was that many of you speak of how far back in your stash you are finding flavors, so I ran the math on juice consumption to see where I stood.

I vape about 3-5 ml / day so 10ml lasts 2-3 days. 30mls is a 6-10 supply. So... 6 months of vaping requires 540-900 milliliters. If the juice steeps for two weeks to a month (tobacco blends).
On a 3 week rotation one needs 90ml being vaped, 90 mils steeping and 90mls selected for the next order to arrive in time to steep 3 weeks.
I don't have enough in rotation yet partly because I'm still sampling A+ magical elixers.
I'm so OCP. Obsessive Compulsive Precisionist (....-retentive :D) ... accuracy is +/- 10ml

Vaping coco berry cream YUM! Still have not found an A+ juice I don't love. Next will be Lemon Cream, or should it be Lime Cream, or perhaps Pineapple Cream.....

Ahhh, was this a question? Then YESSS!

I mostly get "new-to-me" flavors in 10ml, and if I like it enough, and think it's as good steeped as it is fresh (or better), then I'll reorder in 30ml. Boba Tea, on the other hand, I get the Big Girl 60ml bottles of. I'm quite sure that the shine on this isn't going to suddenly wear off for me. I believe I'm on my 4th 60ml of it, and I like it really well-steeped--like 4-6 weeks or longer. I've liked pretty much every A+ juice I've tried, but for me, well-steeped Boba Tea is the one that I just can't be without.

I've been rebuilding for quite some time, but Ive resisted the Kfun for long enough. Ive been spoiled... my go-to is a modded A-7 topped Reo, but Ive been looking for a tank system for my Provari.

Anyway...I picked up a EH Pro Kfun lite plus, but returned it when I found out the 510 connection wouldn't thread into any off my mods. It barely had any threads on it because the diameter was way too small. I traded it in for a Tobeco, which had strong threads and overall better looking build quality then the EHPro I had returned.

I have a unused bottle of 5 month old SC. Let's see how she vapes

I despise those blue glass bottles (too messy), but I put up with them for the top-notch liquid inside..Mr Mann hates them too if I remember correctly? I need to order some plastic bottles. Link to good ones?

The only time I do not like the Glass Bottles, I am getting older with glasses so there is difficulty seeing the remaining contents. You should have seen me last Saturday peering into the bottle neck of my Lemon Cream and muttering Really, how is it possible this is empty already.

I really like the 10 ML Ahl needle bottles. When I am done with trying a flavor I rinse them out, let them dry completely, and transfer from the Glass bottle for ease of transport.

WOW!!! on the bolded comment above.

TexasVet, I am with you on the ML's per day and your calculations except I do not worry about steeping and I maintain a spreadsheet.

Agreed....messy, and hard to see what's left. I have a tiny funnel and transfer from the 30/60ml into spare plastic bottles so I can just drip directly from the bottle. Plus, I'm a little clumsy and don't want to tip the open-top bottle in the middle of transferring with a dropper.

The blue bottles are pretty, though. I give the empties to my SIL, who uses them for herb-scented oils she makes. I make sure not to confuse what I get from her with my juice bottles. :)

Sorry, I don't have a link; what I have was left over from other juice...

I've had no issues with the blue bottles, beside it being a bit difficult for me to gauge how much juice is remaining in a bottle. I have had a few issues with the amber bottles. Numerous times I've opened and closed tightly (or at least I thought so), then shook them, and had juice run down the side of them. :(
