Ahlusion-Reviews and some repentance

[Jerms]

I think as a rule, with exceptions of course, people who consider ordering from Ahlusion a hassle or not worth it, probably aren't missing anything from not ordering from Ahlusion. The flavors are more for people seeking an authentic or different taste experience, not so much for casual vapers or those seeking an all-day-vape with one juice.

Most people seem to be Wal Mart vapers. By that I mean; Wal Mart offers great products, are always open, well-stocked, and easy to get to, and offer very low prices. That's a good thing, and fills most peoples needs. However, Wal Mart carries stuff you can get at many other places. If you want a certain specialty item, you may have to go to a different shop that isn't open 24/7, doesn't offer Wal Marts rock-bottom prices, and may experience more demand than product at certain times so you have to wait. The people who complain about the hassle of Ahlusion seem to expect specialty store products with the Wal Mart experience. I think they should just stick to Wal Mart until the desire for the specialty store products out-weighs any conceived hassle.

I think the OP is an example of; those who seek the taste experience offered by Ahlusion, there's a good chance they will eventually try them, despite the negativity and criticisms they may see.

I just tried my first Ahlusion juices, and I must say I understand what all the fuss is about. Very smooth. I like max flavor and zero harshness or throat hit, and these hit the spot.

What did you get?

 

[aubergine]

Daughter ordered for the first time last week; delivery in four days; I ordered late Fri night (just before midnight I think) delivery on Wed.

I haven't really had any difficulty since that one stretch way back when.

 

[Kataphraktos]

What did you get?

Smooth Criminal, Banana Cream Pie and JG Blend. Smooth Criminal especially floored me. I'll be ordering a bunch more shortly.

To further update this review and mainly on the customer service front, I have to say that after placing the order, this level of service is really outstanding.

I provided feedback yesterday. Today I got an email from Wlad this morning following up and asking me additional questions about my hardware, my vape habits, and so forth. We've had about a six emails long exchange on my flavor profile, any new flavor recommendations, and so forth.

So, they appear to have gotten through any backlog and are now processing orders reasonably. He's also very involved in customer relations. I'd say anyone on the fence about this vendor should give them a try.

The juice is top notch and you have an obviously dedicated team up there in Michigan who cares about what you want.

I finally placed an order this am, so am looking fwd to trying it. I mostly look for flavor now, so I bet I will like it I ordered the blueberry vanilla cake, strawberry shortcake, chi tea, forget actual name, and Fuji Nights I think it is called. Will let everyone know how I like them. bnrk

Vape Nerd, I don't really want to recommend juices specifically to any one person, but I think you may like their Lemon Cream--it's not hyperbole to say it's absolutely remarkable!

Give them time. I made the mistake of judging some of their juices to soon when I ordered my second batch--my first order was Devil Dog! and it doesn't need a steep so I thought, mistakenly, their whole line was great fresh. I have so many in rotation now that steeping is easy as 1, 2, 3.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Sorry for the triple post, but Vape Nerd, now that you're getting your juices profiled, they will be your mixtures and yours only. Of course they will be labeled as the normal juice, but your juices will have your personal tweaks differing from mine and all the other profiles.

 

[candimccann]

That flavor profile is the neatest aspect. I didn't even realize it existed, I just thought my tastes were adapting. You know how sometimes you get a juice and it's all right, but after a few weeks it's better -- and I am not talking about steeping. I'm talking about your palate being a bit slow on the uptake.

I had originally given feedback that there was too much pineapple overshadowing the other flavors. A couple months later when I reordered the same flavor I tried it fresh out of the mailbox and it was perfection. I still assumed it was my imagination or my palate... found out about the flavor profiling and realized he toned down the pineapple on mine a bit in response to my feedback. It was subtle, I definitely recognized it as the flavor I ordered, but it was delicately re-balanced and became perfect.

Anyhow, it isn't often that I order 5 flavors and love 4 right out of the gate. Flavor 5 is good and I appreciate it for what it is...it's just not for me -- right now.

oh great like my shopping cart needed a 15th bottle.

Trust me, I understand! I am kinda mad at Wlad right now for me even knowing about the taste of Lemon Cream. When you're at his vape/drink bar, he'll give you unopened attys--he seriously went though about 15 new attys in that one hour or so--and a bunch of flavors to test. I told him I didn't want to try Lemon Cream and he opened up a 306 atty and handed me the bottle. Wlad is my dude and all, but he is also a Marine--I figured it was my duty to not say no, and, well, he looked like he wasn't taking no for an answer. I vaped it and felt a burning sensation in my pants pocket.

A funny story about the profiling was that on one occasion, a few Ahlusion enthusiasts were going back and forth about what flavors were the most prominent in Caramel Pear Black Tea. Come to find out, we were all right. We had different mixes. Of course the juice is basically the same, but for CPBT, I like more black tea and pear with a subtle caramel; some people like it completely different, and that's how we get it: differently.

That caramel pear black tea is off the hook good. I can't decide if i like this one or the apple house blend better. I got blue grass burley and the carribean aromatic last week but haven't tried them yet. Cranberry autumn another home run. I got some son of a peach, not for me, but the wife loves it.

Definitely will give that Lemon cream juice a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[CheriePie]

I love all the Ahlusion juices I've tried so far and am ready to order larger sizes in several of them, even though there's lots more I'd love to try first. vape_nerd, your post convinced me I simply must try the Caramel Pear Black Tea on my next order as well. I haven't yet received any of the feedback emails but will reply to them as soon as I do as I'm anxious to get my own flavor profile created with them.

As to the ones I've tried (and enjoyed):

Tiramisu - OMG if you like tiramisu even a little bit, you simply MUST try this juice. It tastes just like the real thing. The flavor profile of this one is spot on and you can taste every little nuance of the juice, from the espresso to the cocoa to the cream, it's all there, with different flavors evident on both the inhale and exhale. (I don't have it in my dripper right now so I can't be specific as to which flavors on the inhale and which on the exhale, but I do recall being able to discern each note individually and was extremely pleased with it. Definitely a big bottle reorder for me. (I ordered mine with the sweetened option.)

Blueberry Vanilla Cake - Another hit! Reminds me of the big blueberry muffins I used to get from the donut shop, all the way to the sugar on top too. Rich and satisfying, no artificial aftertaste, and another big bottle reorder.

Bananas Foster - Awesome! I love the authentic banana taste and the fact that it's nice and sweet but not overly so to the point of being artificial. Like the tiramisu, I can taste each of the individual flavor notes: banana, carmelized rum, and love how it satisfies my craving for the deep, rich taste of bananas foster done right. Between this and the Tiramisu, both 2 of my all-time favorite desserts, I love that they are authentic reproductions of some of the best I've had. Because often I'll visit a restaurant and try their bananas foster only to be disappointed because they're more creamy than carmelized. Ahlusion knows what a true bananas foster is supposed to taste like and they've hit it spot on with this juice. This is another I plan to reorder in a larger size soon too, though because I have a couple other banana flavors from other vendors on hand (though not nearly as good as A+), I'm able to stretch this 10ml bottle out a little bit longer.

Sweet Cherry Something - This one took a little bit longer than the other 3 to come to full fruition but now that it's there (or very nearly so), I'm really enjoying it a lot. I like that it's one of my fruitier bakery flavors, and the creamy undertone is more in the background. (Though I'd probably appreciate a full-on cherry pie flavor just as much.) At first I thought it was my least favorite of the bunch, but now that it's had a chance to steep a bit more, I'm not sure if that's still true. That said, this is one of the most authentic cherry vapes I've tried, and one I will definitely reorder too, even though I seem to be sipping it a bit slower than the others.

This thread makes me happy!

Poor dear Wlad: I swear I give the worst, most useless feedback possible -- lots of "I LOVE it!"s and so forth. The one juice I actually made a suggestion on (way back when) was Melonade, which I thought might be even better with MORE lime. (It was.) I am fairly certain that, based on that single feedback, when I finally got around to ordering the Mojito Cubano (which is superb) my juice was "pumped up" with lime -- just the way I like it!

 

[Kataphraktos]

Yep. A few more posts, and that's another future shopping cart in the making. Have you no shame?

Me too. I'm rather afraid to mess with a good thing.
I suffer from Wlad Knows Best syndrome.
