Yep, that one got two of my cards. Caught it right away, but had to cancel the cards and have them replaced. Googling hinted strongly at online vape shops being where it can happen.

This now makes me wonder if Ahlusion is compromised somehow. I was hit with the last two sets of frauds mentioned in this thread.

Just dug out my "extra creamy" Cha-Yen cardamom from December 15th. I was on the fence for the first few vapes, and kind of forgot about it. Glad I did. It's really nice now, the cardamom has backed off and blended in some, and the creaminess has really come out to play. Thanks, Shawn, for the tip!
That's awesome news. I was rocking the star anise blend yesterday.

I understand this viewpoint. I also understand the non-steeper's perspective. If you came to me and gave me some of these fresh Ahlusion juices, with no knowledge of history as to how their juices mature, I'd probably be a bit annoyed with the whole "wait for it" mentality some people display. How long should this person wait? For me, I love 90% of my juices at the 3 month and more mark. I feel it would be foolish if I expected another to love it around the same point. I really don't think the juices change that much, with the exception of Smooth Criminal. Even with Smooth Criminal, I don't even find it unvapeable at its early stages, yet others do. It's why I really don't give out steeping times. You like it when you like it......

If a vaper is not willing to allow the juices to age, it's no sweat from my brow; they absolutely have that right to move along to another's juice that will give them what they need when they need it.

It honestly all makes sense once you move beyond the beginner phase (as did the previous disclaimer on the site that some new customer's saw arrogance in). If you're still in the phase where you're buying hundreds of blends a week and seeking that fix Ahlusion isn't right for you. Ahlusion is unbeatable once you've stockpiled more than you can ever vape and are fine letting things sit around to see what happens over time. I feel like I'm speaking from experience now. I still can't stand any A+ liquid with coconut or strawberry in it, but other than that they just can't be beat. And I've tried way to many vendors. Today a friend visited and saw my racks of liquids and let out an audible "whaaaaaaaaaaa! Are those all for your e-cig?"

I wish I could keep it to grinding my teeth. Lately I have been known to froth and spit when I hear someone say "whats all this fuss about AHL, I got mine yesterday and can not stand it and will PIF it in three days."

:lol::lol::lol:

Of course it's their right. :) What annoys the BEJ-----US out of me is the inevitable vendor bashing that comes along with that "Ack! FOOB is no good to me -- away with it!" reaction.

Besides, are these unedumacated steep-deniers really not planning to still be vaping in a few weeks or so? :p



This morning i mixed Sahara Blend, Smooth Criminal and Caramel Wild Wood. I think im addicted to this mix :)

:ohmy: "Tobacco Stew." :D

I read most of this thread and follow the Natural Tobacco thread before I ever ordered from Ahl so I knew they were steepers going into it. I have plenty of other vendor's juice that I enjoyed and can vape while waiting for the good stuff to mature. I don't enjoy the others as much anymore, but I have plenty to use while the magic happens.

Now that I have some Ahlusion juices that are 3+ months old, I'd have to agree. My Lemon Cream is 4 months old and it's really delicious, the best it's been I think.

I am almost to the point where I will have some that have aged that much. It has been a journey that started in Jan and I have bought every week since then. I am just now at a point where some of my 30ml are close to 90 days old. I have maybe 6 30mls at different ages and they are kept in one spot as "ready to go" and then I have (OMG) about 20 10ml's in different bags with dates on them. When they are 15 days old they get tasted and go back in that bag until 30 days old and then if they are a top ten they get ordered in a 30 ml. My daughter comes over and wants to try stuff and I am alright with it all until she approaches the Ahlusion and then I get nervous. I have a system and always will when it comes to Ahlusion.

I am concerned though because I went ahead and broke down and sent in a response to the request (that comes with the coupon code) and my response was something like "I found the Sweet Cherry Something very mild and I wish the Fijian Nights had been a smidgen stronger."
I got a response from Ally that said "We are glad to get your feedback we will add that to your profile and from now on should we make all your juices with extra flavor?"
The reason I am alarmed is because I have been asking for extra flavor all along in the comments section, each time I put "extra flavor please, I use tanks and need BOLD flavor"
So have I been getting extra flavor or not? Sometimes I do wish they were stronger then they are. I have spent a lot of money up to this point and I hate to think they are just now paying attention to my request. I wrote her back and asked but have not heard back.
Hope this information helps someone else. RESPOND to the request for feedback folks

I totally agree it pays off to respond to the feedback email. On my last order I let them know I thought Just Criminal was very good but that it needed more flavor. I was pleasantly surprised when I got an email today telling me I could request it in the notes. So there's another 30ml bottle for my wish list. Can't wait to try it that way. :)

For me this pretty much goes for all juices. I don't think they reach their potential for at least a month and often more. I prefer Sasparilla fresh; other than that, I don't expect them to be great for a long, long time.

This is why it makes me grind my teeth when someone says any given juice "just isn't for me" after a couple tries and a week's time. I couldn't stand JG Blend at first, but now it's a mainstay. Glad I gave it the chance to reach peak flavor.

Pineapple Cream is the one I adore fresh. When I get a new bottle I leave it in the bubble wrap, sealed, and in a cold spot until I'm ready to use it. I still enjoy it as it steeps or else I wouldn't buy it in 60ml. It's just extra special when first opened!

I do have a lot of favorites that I hated on first taste. Put them away and forgot about them for a few months. Decided to get out the dripper and retry flavors and found a lot of flavors I loved. I've also put samples in a tank before and thought it was ok but definitely not a reorder but by the time I got to the bottom of the tank I was craving more. Some flavors grow on you as you vape them.

LOL, I've even steeped "pre-steeped" 5 Pawns liquid. I don't care when it was bottled, it's still sitting after an initial taste test. I have way too much liquid to vape and I'm on a First-In-First-Out consumption system.

I can't do that. I vape what's best first! If I don't get to a flavor then it wasn't worth it. I have too many good flavors to vape something that isn't amazing.

Well, I guess I'm part of the Lemon Camp now. Since opening this bottle of 70PG I've filled my tank 3 times in 2 days. It is so delicious. The lemon is perfect. It tastes like the best lemon cream pie with no crust. Which is great since I don't care for crust. I bought it unsweetened and it has an amazing natural sweetness to it.

This now makes me wonder if Ahlusion is compromised somehow. I was hit with the last two sets of frauds mentioned in this thread.

I'm 99% sure that it has nothing to do with Ahlusion. I've placed more orders with my Visa debit card than my CC and it has never been compromised. Both times my CC was stolen I ordered from Ahlusion a day or 2 later with my debit card. I've used my Visa debit card at all the same places as my credit card which makes me think it has something to do with my credit card companies processing.

Just read that Ahlusion wasn't affected by Heartbleed either so all our info is safe.

I would say that you have been getting regular strength flavor. The comments box is not for feedback. Feedback has to be done using the Contact Us form or responding to a feedback email. Feedback info has to be added to your computerized profile and when you place an order it does not get to the right person to update your profile. Wlad explained that if they did it that way it would slow down order processing to a crawl since it would require the order to be pulled so that your profile can be updated before it can be filled. This is why Wlad likes to be contacted before you place your first order. This tells you everything he would like to know:

https://www.ahlusion.us/faq/general/e-liquid-recommendations.html

Interesting....it says at the bottom that eventually none of the juices will require barely any steeping. I think we're seeing some of that now. Which would explain why some aren't noticing much change in the flavors.

I'm in the "no feedback" camp. LOL. I did do the basic profile to let them know that I use tanks with LR cartomizers before placing my first order but I haven't requested any changes to flavors except to say no mint or menthol. There are so many things that I love about Ahlusion's mixes that I'm afraid of them being changed if I get profiled.

Good luck. I hope you get your flavors and ratio figured out!

Welcome aboard but I am thinking you need to change your signature; :toast:

(Have you tried Ahlusion's Lemon and Pineapple Cream?)

Another note on the CC compromise issue -- I can't say if it's tied to Ahlusion, but I'm pretty confident it's not *directly* tied at least. If anything, it may be that whoever Ahlusion uses to process their payments (some 3rd party bank undoubtedly) may be compromised. And no doubt that 3rd party bank is used by thousands of other vendors as well, both vape-related and not. FWIW, I have ordered on the same card from a few other vendors, for hardware and such. And I did some Xmas shopping at Target too back in December. Who knows? Time to ditch the dinosaur magnetic strip technology for something a little better.
