I am really enjoying Sapphire today, can't seem to put it down. Usually one of the Wild Woods is my main vape, but today Sapphire has taken the starring role. It's quite delicious!
It is next on my list of 10ml bottles to polish off, Can't wait

I'm putting together my wish list. Drewdles, Saturday morning, pear white tea...maybe some more billow berry? I really need to unload all my old Ahl which is too high PG/nic for me now :(

Billow Berry is definitely in my next order. My sample lasted a day. Maybe Fort Custard too. That sample went quick too. DARN good stuff. I'll wait to hear others impressions of the new flavors. Some of my OLD time favorites that I've always kept on hand, like Orange Nocturne, Peachy Criminal, Sweet Surrender, Banana Cream Pie and the various Vanilla Cakes.. are going to get knocked off the list for awhile.

I need to work my way through all these new offerings and readjust my list of must haves. A lot of the recent releases seem to be a notch up from the older offerings, and I need to realign my palate and priorities. Not that small bottles of those old must-haves won't be in subsequent orders. It's just that Ahlusion seems to be hitting higher highs.

I'm new to Ahlusion juice and I ordered 9 small bottles! So far I have tried the Just Criminal and have vaped the whole bottle! Guess you can tell I really liked it! I have also tried the Strawberry Snap, Lemon Cream and LVC! Next one to be opened will be Mango Lassi. Vaping is so good with all these new flavors!

Imho, you've saved the best for last. Mango Lassi is very unique. I don't think ANYone offers anything like it. It is a culinary treat for sure. It's one of the 20 flavors in my top 10 list.;)

Omg...Hawaiian sun is :rickroll:frickin awesome!

Ah jeez. Anyone going to second that emotion?! Do I need to add yet another to my must try list?! I'm over 110 Ahlusion flavors by now, and I'm REALLY trying to whittle it down to a dozen faves. It's starting to feel like trying to hit a fast moving target.

I totally agree with you that the new flavors seem...better (for lack of a better word lol)! Not that the older flavors are bad by any means, but the new ones just seem to be knocking it out of the park! Excited to try the new flavors, but silly budget is making me wait atleast a week before placing an order.

The Ahlusion has arrived, wow....is the Pineapple Upside Down Cake terrific foob.....:)
Does anyone else find this one to be light on flavor? This isn't a loaded question, it may very well be my taste buds still in recovery but it is also could be an internal issue at my home...something to do with needing locks on doors. Grrrrrr. So most AHL flavors have a pretty strong flavor, anyone find this one quite a bit lighter?

I mixed my sweetened Orange Creamsicle with my Lime Cream..that made it a bit better..I STILL can not remember why I got the OC sweetened..I never get anything sweetened and now I remember why..It totally changes the flavor..I'll not order anything else sweetened I'll tell ya that much. :(
I've been ordering quite a few sweetened and found the same, a) I can't remember when or why I decided to do that and b) next orders are going back to unsweetened just to really know which I want how, lol...if that makes sense.

199 Flavors

Wow..I would have guessed 125 or so but dang!!!!!!!
So, ya, add in options on all those flavors, like above (sweetened/un) and you get even MORE flavors to try!! I REALLY hope they're going back to the feedback discount, once in awhile, at least. I did ask about that on the order before my last and a written note on my invoice indicated that it was a computer error type issue, that some people were still receiving them and some weren't...who knows! But there's so many new flavors and new to me that I'd like to try, it would certainly help. Although, at the moment I can't seem to put down CWW long enough to try anything else, I do have another order on the way.

I remember trying to get an order in every morning at around 830 am after I got home from taking my daughter to school and it was always at capacity. Then for at least three weeks their website went down. I checked every day until finally I said screw it :lol: 6 months later I was still hearing about Ahlusion and finally got an order in and have been ordering ever since :)
Lol, that's tenacity for ya!! It sounds like they could've created a black market for AHL juice!

Yes sir! I leave mine in the bubble wrap and everything and stick it in the fridge til I'm ready to use lol
I wonder if you don't open it and keep it in the dark does it stay unsteeped but just not as fresh? I've seen it posted that it doesn't start the steeping process until you open it, so the fridge...keeps it fresh??

I do not think any of the AHL bakeries are bold. I always have to let my steep at least a month to get them to where I Iike them

The three primary culprits in breaking down organics are oxygen, sunlight, and heat. If the bottling is occurring in an inert gas environment (ie, nitrogen or argon) then taking the cap off, even for a second, introduces oxygen and accelerates the breakdown of the organics. Sunlight and heat hasten that process. It's my intuition that not removing the cap and keeping it in the fridge would extend the shelf life by magnitudes. It won't last FOREVER in that environment, but it will last much, much longer.

A quality made wine with a proper seal would only last weeks on a south facing window sill, but will last 40+ years in a dark, 50F cellar. But wine has alcohol and tannins too, which are also preservatives. There is more to it like what breaks down and how it breaks down based on those 3 factors but the similarities are definitely there to compare the processes.

Great information! Lately I have been wondering about freezing it. For example, I just ordered a 120ml from another place i just discovered. I was thinking I might take some of it and pop it in the freezer. "Seems like" that would extend the shelf life. However, based on what you suggested popping it the fridge might work just as well and prevent any potential changes from the freezing process.

"Freezing" is another matter. It causes crystallization which can affect some things, like meat, fish, vegetables by changing their texture and sublimation of the moisture. I don't think it would apply to Ejuice nor do I think you could "freeze" it in a normal freezer. But preservation of something like wine or fruit juice by temperature is an exponential curve of diminishing returns, where anything below 45 degrees or so becomes almost pointless. Your fridge is probably around 45, but if you have more room in your freezer, I'm doubtful that storing it there would hurt or gain anything. And I apologize for being a wine geek and having read a lot on the subject of temps and longevity.

Lychee Coconut Smoothie is my favorite of the new flavors. I tried it both ways and discovered that I prefer it sweetened. But it's a top 10 either way. Billow Berry is another that I really enjoy. Both are in tanks that keep coming up empty. Lol.

Although the new version of Peaches and Cream is one that I could kick myself for only getting a sample. The tank is setting here impatiently waiting to be refilled. I've almost vaped it to the coil! It has had more time to steep and the peach is juicier now. It's going to be a top 5 flavor for me.

Ah jeez. Anyone going to second that emotion?! Do I need to add yet another to my must try list?! I'm over 110 Ahlusion flavors by now, and I'm REALLY trying to whittle it down to a dozen faves. It's starting to feel like trying to hit a fast moving target.
Yes! Hawaiian Sun is one you have to try. I vaped the sample and ordered a 30 along with another sample sweetened. It's the best watermelon I've ever tasted. I have to try it sweetened, just in case. Hard to tell if it will make it better or ruin it.

Have you tried Pineapple Brulee? That is one amazing flavor! It wasn't what I was expecting at all so at first taste I hated it. Now it's a staple.

A dozen? :lol::lol::lol:

My Drewdles arrived today! I haven't tried it yet, but I get a nice soft cinnamon smell from the bottle. It may be a few days before I try it. I have to finish something in one of my tanks, then clean one out....

Jelly!!! jealouscat.gif

My Drewdles was supposed to arrive today, but the friggin' USPS managed to send my package to the wrong town completely, where it was marked "undeliverable as addressed." :-x It is now supposedly going to be re-sent to my address for arrival tomorrow . . . :nah:

(And I've had a fresh tank, fresh coil and fully charged battery ready and waiting for it for days now! :lol:)

Lychee Coconut Smoothie frightens me a little with the maple thing. I really did NOT like Maple Dream. And I have never used "pancake syrup". It's real Maple Syrup or no pancakes at all. Maple candy? Mmm.... but I just didn't care for Maple as a vape. Is the maple noticeable, or just adds complexity?

Pineapple Brulee, like someone mentioned above, was a little bland to me. I expected maybe a little more citrus from it. And more of a "toasted" flavor? It was pretty darn good, but not OMG. Thats the problem having such a quality vendor. With 200 flavors, ya gotta pick 12.... or 25...... If I had to wander into a random B&M, and found something like Pineapple Brulee, I'd otherwise be pretty blown away.

Never apologize for being a wine geek. I love wine! :thumbs:

Yeah, I love wine too. I took it to a pretty extreme level during a long phase of my life. I still love to drink it, but the chase for unicorns I'm past... Still have all the wine, and a really cool place to keep my juice at optimum storage.. ;)
