Ahlusion Tobaccos?

[Randy C]

Shhh....don't tell anyone, but I did. Letting this bottle lat 4 weeks ain't gonna happen! The first day I went through about 2.5 mL and I generally don't vape that much of all my stash throughout the day. So, 4 weeks, hmm? I'll try...

SB ext on my list... along with GR. Thanks Mann!

Sahara blend is hot?? like hot spicy?

No, Sahara blend is a Turkish tobacco extract. It's actually dry, which can come across as spicy. Also, the nicotine is peppery.

You can't get Sahara Blend quite yet. Wlad said "soon, very soon." What that means? No clue. I got lucky once a month or so back and was able to buy some. It was a glitch in the matrix. Another time I requested (begged actually, in multiple orders) in the comment section of the order page. Ask for it, maybe you'll get lucky.

GR, on the other hand, is available and delicious. Mann, correct me if I'm wrong please. But I believe it's a Virginia tobacco extract with honey. Not sure if the honey is cured w/ the tobacco or added afterwards. But they play so well together it seems like the honey was present during the tobacco curing process. But I really have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about. Everything I say about curing is an educated guess.

You'll likely never like those flavors. Send them to me and I will dispose of them in a safe and controlled manner. I will let them sit for a few weeks before I dispose of them, though. I will pay for shipping.

Haha, we'll see! I'm going to give 'em a chance in a couple weeks. I used to like pipe tobacco but haven't smoked it in a while. If they just don't find a place in my life I'll send them to you for proper disposal.

Well, I got my sweet Georgia peach and smooth criminal and they sent me a sample of desperado, haven tried the desperado yet. On first vape I can't say I care much for any of these. All I get is a real strong cigar flavor. Actually, when I first vaped the SGP, I thought they may have messed up the mixture! I couldn't taste the sweet peach part. I'll go back to these later and see if my second impression is any better. I've been on bobas bounty for a while and it's hard for me to change from it!

Smooth Criminal needs four weeks and Desperado AT LEAST six to reach maturity. Don't give up too soon! To me, Sweet GA Peach is light and smooth. I get tobacco and peach in equal measures, to the point that they nearly fuse into one flavor. The taste is like a gentle whisper. And it even sizzles in an atty like a whisper. Smooth. Sweet.

HOWEVER, I just gave some to someone yesterday -- more of a fruit vape guy -- and his first response was, "Wow, that's strong!" Depends on what you're used to. Me, I don't think any of the aros are particularly strong -- certainly not compared to anything actually burning.

Yeah, I think our plates are a bit calloused.

Bingo. When I first vaped it I only noticed the peach and thought, this is the most unique and by far the best peach taste I've vaped. Then I noticed the tobacco is there, but the way they went with the peach it shares similar notes with the tobacco, creating a peach tobacco instead of peach and tobacco. I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say vaping SGPeach puts me in a state of vaping bliss that could get me arrested in 48 states.

Shatner, have you had Good eJuice's Wild Turkey? If so, how would you compare Sahara to it.

Wild Turkey has a heft of a load of funky sock to it, not that it matters much to me as I do like the funkiness, but Sahara tastes clean, dry and straight. Sahara tastes like the natural version of the artificial Turkish blend which may make it more familiar to most palates. The two are wildly different, though.

Haven't had it. I've only had Patriot and GJ4. I don't really care for their 'style'.

Thanks for the great description. Our of curiosity, where are we?

Yep, I bought a huge bottle of GR. To me, the whole RY4ness is great for debates, but totally irrelevant with the vape. It is fantastic as a vape. There is no honey added, but the tobacco that was pressurized for CO₂ extraction (no simple soaks here or anywhere in their menu) is a honey-cured tobacco. It is on the sweet side, as the honey does really, err, rise?! LOL. But it is not overly sweet as in cloying. A juice that can cut that sweetness down without altering the flavor profile one bit is Velvet Cloud Vapor's Blue Beard Tobacco (they're both made with honey-cured tobacco). As a matter of fact, I took Wlad some VCV BBT and his first reaction, well, second reaction to the initial "hmm...good," was "this is a lot like Gold Rising." Don't get me wrong, GR and BBT are not twins at all, but they can play as stunt doubles for each other.

Your take on SC and Desperado are the reverse of my experiences. Whatever the case, for me, SC wins after a long term steep.


p.s. Is the base for GR as strong as BGB? No, totally different. But, GR is NOT lacking in the flavor department one iota.

You know... come to think about it, I didn't- I mean couldn't- steep SC this long... maybe I gave into the temptation too early!

 

[Mr.Mann]

hahaha!

I just got, a couple weeks ago, what I affectionately refer to as either Dark & Smooth Criminal or Thief in the Night!

What I did was I asked Wlad to slightly deepen the depth of the tobacco, the body, and the flavor without increasing the sweetness (tricky, tricky right? Maybe not for an actual flavorist/flavor chemist!). It was all rather convoluted since it's not like I can say, "more caramel" because for 1)_there is no caramel in SC and 2)_it ain't like he would to tell me what is in there (at least not with this one juice). Just for kicks, he let me play this game where if I could guess and ingredient correctly (he knew I couldn't) he would tell me if it was in there and there is no "ingredient" in Smooth Criminal that I've ever read/heard mentioned that is not tobacco (I personally think he dressed this juice up with something he "designed" on a molecular level, so technically the "ingredient" doesn't exist in the natural world as a standalone flavor--my theory.)

So this SC is really starting to get good and it is only at the 2.5 week mark, but early on, it doesn't work. This is supposed to steep at least 3 weeks, but I think it was thought to be best at closer to 4. Here is the kicker, if anyone would like to try it, here is my code:*{REMOVED} (it's 50/50)

If you do try it, at first you may think that it is even lighter than the original, but just pop the top, shake it up, recap it (no need to leave it off for extended periods) and let it chill. The color will change and the depth will increase. See ya' in another week and a half.

*That is nothing like an affiliated code or anything like that, it's just an order number that allows anyone to get a juice, previously adjusted, ordered the same way.

I'll try this mix -- AFTER I use some of the three batches of SC I already have (four-, two- and one-month-old). You're killing me, Mann.

hahah! While I don't know (yet) if I would say get a big bottle of this, or even if it is different enough, it is surely worth a 10 mL! Me killing you, YCY? With SC steepage like that in different age groups, you're the one killing me!

 

[Jerms]

Hmmmm, I may ask you in a few weeks how that "Mannly Criminal" is doing. I may try it adjusted next time I order it. After it's well steeped, I find SC to be about perfect as it is, but I'm intrigued.

Oh, trust me, I know. Why mess with a good thing? I have no idea. Maybe because this was the free 10 mL. Having a 60 mL makes it okay to play.

I'm so trying this! I'm kind of confused on how to go about it, though. That's an order #, not a juice code?

Same thing. Just put it in your notes. So you could order a random bottle or SC, but add to it that you want SC as {REMOVED}, or as Mann's last (last names work if code isn't available.)

That's a cool thing about the ability to request changes in a juice with Ahlusion. It's like, if you're married to a woman for 10 years, she's a wonderful woman and beautiful as the day you met her, but after 10 years you've taken her beauty for granted. Then one day she comes in with a striking new haircut and you think, I almost forgot how beautiful she is.

I wonder what Wlad would do if I put in the comment section for a juice, "give it a hair-cut"

He probably would "get it."

It's strange how this juice starts out lighter in flavor and color, but steeps faster and deeper in a shorter time span.
