with a market oversaturated to the point of exploding, your website is going to make or break you. look at vapor chef. simple, clean, effective. guy raked in millions his first year.

ahlusion has existed longer than tvc, yet you walk into any shop and it's ahlusion who? vapor chef... oh yeah i love honey pearry.

certainly isn't because of a vast superior product, and with ahlusion having control over their flavorings one could argue the ball would be in their court in that aspect, yet still the only people who rave about their juices are on this site.

not trying to argue that they are bad, but this is 2014. they only sell their products through their site, one would think a site overhaul would've been in order.....
I'm a marketing guy, but repeat business is what keeps these guys making money, look at NICOTICKET, their website doesn't knock your socks off but their juice does so people go back. That's where the real money is. You really think he made millions? I'm not being adik just curious, where'd you get that from?

Here's the thing about any product being called overrated, almost by definition it means a lot of people rated it highly in the first place. So yeah, if you happen not to like it, it probably is overrated to you. All it means, is that you don't like it.

And i haven't noticed a correlation between website design and juices i like. I have liked and disliked juices from vendors whose website i find easy to navigate and those i don't. As far as Ahlusion specifically, historically i have found their descriptions ( especially the tobacco's ) confusing and contradictory even, but they have some juices i love.

I didn't like the blueberry but the strawberry vanilla cake was my favorite, strawnilla is from nicoticket, it's a bit better.

how was the Tira misuse?


Just ordered today. The store itself is 40 miles away but they offer free shipping within the state. I'll update when i get it. In the meantime, I'll be working on building an auto drip style cotton micro coil setup.

Actually, this is completely incorrect. Ahlusion is primarily a wholesaler of e-liquid to other vendors, although they are also expanding their "retail cafe" locations. They plan to eventually close down or severely limit online sales at some point in the future.


And yes, for me, Ahlusion makes a "vastly superior product"! The cleanest base I've ever tasted, and scrumptious clean flavors.

Now there was an aftertaste that I couldn't figure out being a fresh wick I let it go as a cotton taste. Now an hour later this juice screwed my coil. MAD isn't the word for what I was that night. Onto the biggest issue after vaping through some of the tobacco juices a taste. This taste was weird not too sure what it was but it wasn't pleasant. Now I know my coil was fine and I know my wick was right. It was the same taste as I had with the fruit vape. So Ahlusion is out of play for me.

I'm also noticing a funky aftertaste after trying two Ahlusion juices from a recent order. The only description I can muster up is that both taste "soapy"

I'm not even gonna give you the list of vendors whose liquids I've tried because it's way too long. Scratch that, I should try and remember, so here's a partial list:
Backwoods Brew
Goodlife
Plume Room
BandB
Halo
Vapor Essence
MBV
AVE
NiteLite
Alice in Vapeland
POET
Five Pawns
HHV
Aroma ejuice
GoodEjuice
Red Tail
NET LLC
Mad Murdoch
Suicide Bunny
Virgin Vapor
and easily ten other big brands as well as countless small time vape shop blends that I've dumped down the drain



After trying them all, Ahlusion is consistently the best for me.

I'm an absolute juice ..... in that I'll try anything. I've found a few that have one or two mixes I keep in stock but nobody comes close to Ahlusion. The thing is I've literally tried every single blend A+ offers so I'm biased in that I have a dozen favorites even if the rest aren't ADVs. Who else sells subtle tea blends? For instance, I can get a thai iced tea and yerba mate from them -- things I've never seen among other brands predictable inventories of perfumers apprentice, LorAnn etc. Custard is to vaping what salt, bacon, and sugar are to cooking. A+ doesn't use it because it's toxic at high temp. Everyone else can effortlessly make a crack custard formula.

I don't understand the urge or need to call out a vendor as overrated. You either like the juice or you don't. I have tried dozens of vendors and close to 200 different juices in less than eighteen months ( i'm almost done with the flavor sampling/chasing btw ! ). I have identified about 35 juices from seven or eight vendors i will re-order. The large majority of the vendors i tried, i won't re-order from, but i'm not gonna call them out as "overrated". Some of them are large vendors with a large customer base who obviously make juices that appeal to a lot of people. They just didn't suit my palate.

For the record, i have tried over 25 Ahlusion flavors and five or six of them are on my re-order list. Not that it impacts my feelings on the topic. I still think it's overrated to call out any vendor as overrated, whether i loved or hated everything i tried from them.

The funny thing is that the op hasn't even tried Ahlusion and is speculating on whether they are overrated because of the number of flavors available ( which is waaay more than 50 btw. He has created a ton more flavors than those on the site as well, some have been sold to other vendors and some discontinued ), and because he thinks the site is "cheesey".

As with all juice companies, it truely does boil down to a person's personal taste/preferences. I have been vaping for 4 1/2 years, Ahlusion has been my go-to vendor for 3 1/2 of those years. Clean, crisp flavors....clean room lab (yes, I have seen it in person)....naturally extracted flavors....and very personal service make them my number one. Do I try other flavors? Of course, as everyone should, but they will always be number one in "my" book. :)

All I can say is you never know, unless you try..... ;)
