No trouble logging in for me either.

You all are making me nervous with all the talk about upcoming changes and deeming regs and proposed laws. I am very bad with the DIY, nothing I attempt is vapable. Then again, I am trying to make something that tastes like my Ahlusion and everyone knows THAT is not going to happen. Sigh........ I am a spoiled brat with champagne taste.

Hopefully Wlad and Alley will be around for us for quite a while longer. Selling us the flavors does sound like a good, profitable idea for them if the regs are too strict. I can only vape my Caramel Pear Black Tea and hope.

I hope this finds all of you well. I have not been on my computer much for a bit. Back surgery is a slow go to recovery.

I have a couple of Russian 91% that are recently leaking out of the airflow hole. Anyone know how to fix this? They never used to leak at all. I have not changed anything about my builds or wicking so I do not think that is the problem. Thanks in advance. You all have been a very knowledgeable and family type group to me so I appreciate any pointers about this. My search skills on this forum is worthless; it just does not work right for me.
Shari, might try changing o-rings.. They do wear out and sounds like you are not getting a good seal somewhere. I don't have a Russian, but do have several Kayfuns and others where if it's not the build I suspect a worn o-ring somewhere.

I'm a firm believer in being prepared is the best form of prevention. It's like having health insurance when you are 20 in case you are hit by a bus. If you have the insurance, you won't need it.

I will have to find the original boxes in my vape drawer. Do you think I need to change all the o-rings? I did once have to change the o-ring in the top cap and another time on the center clear tank. Thank you for this suggestion and I will let you know if it works. Might not get to it for a couple of days.

Do you get it sweetened? I've been thinking of getting it sweetened next time.

I get it sweetened and it's really good that way. I try every flavor unsweetened first and usually try them all sweetened, too. Sweetened won on this one. I like Hawaiian Sun and Wipeout Watermelon sweetened, too.

Thanks for the scoop. It's a very tasty juice. I'll try it again in a week or so and see if I still wish it were sweeter.

My last day to use a feedback coupon, and I recently ordered backups of all my standards, so I ordered flavors that I SHOULD have loved, but hadn't worked for me in the past: Lemon-Berry Kiss, Strawberry Snap, and Citrus Bliss, but now with 30/70 VG/PG rather than 50/50.

In other news, I just treated myself to a great toy for my all-encompassing hobby/life-long love: a brand-new sewing machine. I haven't had a new one in eighteen years, and that one was a gift that I didn't pick out. OMG what amazing features have been added! I am geeking out learning how to use them...which reminds me how my daughters would complain that everything I made for them had a cigarette stink.

I let my last feedback coupon slide on by. I have so much Ahlusion juice here, that I need to vape down before I order again, although a good sale(30-40% off) could tempt me. On another note, I loaded a tank with Sleigh Ride that had a best by date of January 2015. It's still wonderful, if you like mint. I hadn't vaped any Sleigh Ride in months, so it was time for me to revisit it. Congratulations Penny on your new sewing machine. Do you do consignment work? Lol...

A questions for the "Clan" :)

What is the storage life expectancy for AHL juices? In the refrig or a cool, dark, and stable place like your stash cabinet? With the soon to be released "Elite" line I also wonder if their are any changes to enhance the "life" of the Motherships juice? I think I tested some AHL juice that was 1.5 years old and the flavor profile was fine. I plan to sort through my stash and test others.

I have been debating buying a Baby Lock that has the embroidery feature

My experience:
Refrig:I have scads of staples like Lemon Cream and Mango Lassi in the Ahlusion drawer of the fridge (used to be the cheese drawer) it is still in the original bubble wrap and AHL bag it came in. Even after a year these are exactly like new and only come out of the fridge when the current bottle is drained. I date the AHL card that comes with the package the date I received it and put that in the bag. The last time I took one out was last month and it was dated 1/2015. Like I said 'just liken new'
Non fridge-Except for Lemon Cream I think they are at their best at 8-12 months. I have tried some that are 1 year past their 'best date and they are glorious. After about 1.5 years past due date I have noticed a decline in flavor

I just noticed the last time I ordered Mango Lassi I mistakenly ordered 30 pg, 70 vg instead of the reverse! No wonder it tasted a bit milder than I remembered! It still tasted great, and it sure didn't stop me from plowing through the bottle in no time, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the new bottle, with the preferred vg/pg ratios,even more.

I love my Strawberry Snap and want to hear what you think of the Lemon Berry Kiss. It sounds really yummy to me.

Hope you enjoy your new sewing machine. I bet your daughters will love anything you make for them now!

Such a good idea -- putting the date on the card the juice came with and keeping it with the juice in the refrigerator. I'm hoping to get to build up my stash so I can experience the very long steep AHL juices too.

Although l know it can be gorgeous, embroidery is not my thing, Chanel. I make clothes, small accessories, and quilts sometimes. I went for a Pfaff. They have the IDT feature, which is even feed with a small attachment that goes to the back of, and works with, most of the supplied feet. It's much more convenient that an even-feed foot and it really works!

well I am not 100% sure I would get that much use out of the embroidery feature. I have been making some baby blankets, quilt types and thought it would be great to be able to monogram them. Aside from that I only do crafty type stuff, hammocks for cats for animal shelters, Kitty Kick Stix as seen here
