Is there actually a difference between mint and menthol? now I'm intrigued. I personally go for Flurry or Chill for all my juices. I guess, as a long-time Kools user, I just got used to it.
I just looked it up. Menthol is an ingredient in peppermint.

I love peppermint.

I like menthol in cough drops and I have some plain menthol juice but I don't like it in any other juice.

"Mint" can also mean spearmint which I hate.

And the last one, "Arctic Blast", is both? I'm just teasing. You're undoubtedly right. The explanation was probably there once upon a time but got lost. It should be included somewhere on the site.

Jade Dew specifies that mint is not menthol and only offers "No Mint" or "Touch of Mint" and a few other descriptions such as BanOrange Medley and Berry Potter do specify that breeze is light mint.
Hmm....guess I missed there being a 5th choice...lol! :) I have no clue about that one, just remember the descriptions of the 4 from the old site.

I wish I remembered this better, but I once got an email from Alley describing the different levels of mint/menthol. On the old, old site (the one before the one before this new one!), there was information about it, as well. Anyway, all I can tell you for sure is the lowest two levels, since I only like a little menthol. Breeze is light menthol only, while Flurries has mint, but I'm not sure about menthol. If you like the coolness, but not the mint taste (@Poeia ), get Breeze. If you only want mint, not menthol (@Randy C ), I'd start with Flurries, or maybe email to be sure. I can tell you for sure that Breeze is light menthol only, since that's what I get on some flavors, and I don't really like the taste of their mint. Except for Ice Kiss. That stuff is amazing!

I sent this off to Wlad... waiting for a response:

Hi Wlad,
You used to have descriptions of your menthol/mints on your old site, but I think it fell off when you migrated to your new site. You might want to think about adding it again...
Anyway... I love mint, but HATE MENTHOL. Which option/s could work best for me?

Just back from the oral surgeon (wisdom tooth.) Part of the instructions were "no xxx or smoking for the first 24 hours." I asked if that included vaping. He thought for a second and said "probably." I told him I didn't know if that were possible.

When I read the sheet, it was no using a straw or smoking so they mean "avoid sucking." It turns out vaping is possible if you put it between your cheek and you teeth on one side, push the button and, just before releasing, twitch that cheek just a bit. There's absolutely no pressure on the other side of the mouth. (Even so, I'll try to keep my vaping to a minimum until this time tomorrow.) ;)

I had some dental procedures a few weeks ago and they told me the same. The dry socket scare from the sucking is the worry. I got past this by firing up my high wattage stuff that barely takes any suction at all to get vapor

Just as a silly FYI, You CAN vape through a nostril. Ask me how I know. It was pretty surprising to see the size cloud that came out... lol..

Thanks. I'll try that the next time I get a wisdom tooth pulled.

I quickly learned that atomizers require much less suckage than do tanks. That pretty much limited me to Autumn Mist and BVC. The atomizer that the BVC is in is ancient. I've probably run at least a quart through it so it leaks a bit (and my hands get juicy) but it still tastes great so I'm not retiring it.

And I bought myself 2 self-pity Joyetech eGo AIOs last night. Considering the fact that I felt absolutely fine, other than a little tenderness, I didn't really deserve them. But it was a good excuse.

I jinxed myself. The atomizer flatlined, thereby retiring the blueberries for a while. Have Strawberry Shortcake in the replacement atomizer. I haven't really decided about it yet. It might have too much Redi-Whip in it for my taste.

I feel sort-of the same about Strawberry Shortcake. I like it, but especially with a good steep on it, it gets a little too sweet and buttery/whipped cream-y. Was it you that hates coconut? If not, you might try the Cocoberry Cream. It has a nice creaminess, without too much Redi-Whip. If it is you who hates coconut, then nevermind. The coconut is light, but it is there.

I'm the coconut (and pineapple, grapefruit and hazelnut) hater. I have Strawberry Banana Cream in the fridge so I'll try that as a strawberry when I run out of the shortcake. The SS is about 6 months old and was never refrigerated so it's had a good steep but I'm not interested in a flavor I have to make sure I finish off before it is ripe.

I'm also okay with not finding a strawberry to be in regular rotation.

I actually got a feedback request. Sadly, no coupon code. I did review some things I have never reviewed before (Kiwi Sea and Mango Lassi)
I think they said the reviews from the old site did not migrate so they might want repeats of your old feedback.

It's funny that I got two or three feedback requests in the last couple of months, but not for any juices I've ever bought.

So, I did the contact us thing on the Ahlusion website today. Got my gold member status reinstated, so I promptly placed an order for four 30 ml. bottles. I feel a little guilty since I hadn't ordered in the last two months. I still have many bottles of Ahlusion here that are still full though. I am scared that the vaping regulations coming may shut down internet sales, so I want to order while I still can!
