I was one of those who questioned if Ahlusion was worth the hoop jumping to become a customer. Well aafter I learned how the game must be played I was able to get an order in as a new customer. The juice arrived very well packed and labled. The sweet Georgia Peach aromatic is very good and getting bettter with age as is the tiaramisu and the other flavors. I got a bottle of Blue Fairy as a free sample and was quite impressed. I will post a more detailed feedback about the flavors after they reach their prime as they seem to be improving as they age.

So what the heck, I had very high hopes, but my Smooth Criminal, I swear, tastes to me like a burnt atty.
I literally dumped some, and tried in another device, but it's the juice.
Do Ahlusion juices change substantially with a long steep?
I guess it depends on how long a steep we are talking about. I have had liquids that have lost flavor after an EXTENDED (6+ months) amount of time. Steeping for a couple of weeks seems to be the best window to get the most out of liquids IMO. I am sure others will have a different opinion. As for the Smooth Criminal, It was good at time of delivery for me, though, it did seem to get even better after a few days. Personally, I love it and no burnt taste for me.

Sweeten: Yes


I discovered something interesting about the Tiramisu after talking with Wlad on email regarding my feedback. Well, I was totally floored by the Tiramisu when I first got it, as my review here would indicate. However, after a couple more weeks steeping, the creamy flavor I noticed in the blend started to become overshadowed by the cocoa and espresso. I thought maybe I was imagining it, vaper's tongue or something, so I tried it at different times of the day, but nope, it was missing the creamy undertone I remember from when I first got it. :( The reason? Well, it appears this is definitely one of the juices that's affected more by it's VG/PG ratio. As Wlad put it:

"On our Tiramisu I would recommend a slightly higher VG ratio - 50/50 should work or perhaps 70vg/30pg if using it for dripping (or with that SMOK tech 510-2-a as it will bring out the creamy notes even more and it will maintain that flavor profile for a longer period (almost indefinite). "


The communication with Vlad, and the things we went over in email, was definitely very helpful to the entire process. I wish I could've tried everything from my wishlist now (like Boba Tea, Chai Tea Latte, and Strawberry Shortcake) but those will have to wait for the time being. Excited to try these other new-to-me flavors though too. :banana:

I usually order creamy flavors in higher vg, as glycerine does tend to make for a creamier vape. The Chai Latte I ordered in 90/10 vg/pg (still had a nice throat hit) and the Lemon Cream I just ordered in 70/30. Most others I order in 50/50 and tobaccos often in 30/70 as higher pg tends to bring out the flavor a tad bit more.

I got two more in on Monday

Deal Maker- this is pretty good stuff, 4 our of 5 stars i'd say....its a mild tobacco with cocoa...theres a sweet undertone to it....it reminds me a lot of BWB's Casablanca but on that juice its all like a turkish tobacco mid inhale...whereas this one seems like virginia maybe

Gold Rising- This is just the best ry4 i've ever tried...caramel, nutty, tobacco with vanilla-ish finish...the tobacco in this is also probably a virginia flavor...there might also be honey in a small amount...get this stuff...top notch

Hmm, looks like I will indeed need to drive the 1.5 miles to go sample some of these juices myself! They are just down the road =D
WOW! I'm jealous!! If I was that close I'd be there daily. I don't know what type liquids you like to vape. I highly recommend Smooth Criminal and Strawberry Vanilla Cake with the utmost confidence!

So - placed by order on Thursday & it arrived on Tuesday. I didn't have any hard time ordering (was a little nervous after reading here, but I just went right on the site & ordered no problem...).

Beautifully wrapped (literally the best wrapping & care out of any juice company I've purchased from - each bottle bubble shrink wrapped, sealed, in a bag, in a box full of packing nuts), 30ml pretty blue glass bottles with high quality droppers (maybe it's a girl thing...I love these...cobalt...soft sheen on a really nice label...droppers work great & fit tightly so no leak worry), they made me a really great bananas foster sample too in a 10 ml plastic bottle with a clear label (which is nice because you can actually see where the juice level is).

Boba Tea: OMG love love this - right out of the mail...smelled delicious...vaped delicious hah. I love boba tea & this saves me 9 million calories. I usually like strong flavored juice (think old school wrestlers throwing chairs in your mouth), but this had a really nice perfect boba flavor with a subtle bit of milk? Really nice, smooth, went through 3mls the first day.

Bananas Foster: Got this as a sample & it smelled like I wanted to just drink it down...resisted...vaped nice the day I received it.

Caramel Pear Black Tea: How long did you have to steep this one for before vaping? (Whoo child I can tell by smelling it that this one needs at least a week I think...definitely a strong scent that needs to mellow...is it lavender? Juniper?...)

Thanks vape nerd for your post - I'm really impressed with these juices (really impressed!), the quality of the juice, the packaging, and hearing about the flavor profile too. I understand what it's like to run a small business, and I don't mind waiting for things when it's a better product. I didn't have to wait for this, but after having tried what I have so far I absolutely will be ordering from again. This was a really happy find that I wouldn't have known about if not for the forum here.

One more question if I could...I'm working on what I want to order next, but I don't want to end up with all teas...although delicious lol.

Which of these would you say try first?
Cha-Yen Orange Blossom
Berry Shangri-la Tea
Boba Tea Lychee

Sounds tempting, but I think I'll hold out until they offer those flavor shots someone ahluded to..
:blush:

Smart. What's the point unless you can get at least 5 flavor shots, right? :D

:D Knock it off, you two! VapHer is OK . . . . cat_filing1-4.jpg
