Ahlusion

[Mr.Mann]

Oh but there are so many other nice fruits out there. I'm perfectly ok with cranberries, raspberries, citrus, etc. I'd prefer not to make them compromise on something that might not be up to their standards.

Oh no, it's not like that at all. While they do make their own flavors, not all of their flavors are "natural." I think a good portion to most of the flavors are in fact not artificial, but I don't think that asking for a synthesized version is problematic.

 

[scarf-ace]

Hmm. Something to think about.

Meanwhile, anyone have thoughts on Bolo de Banana? I am stoked about the tobaccos most of all but this one is really unusual. I haven't had much luck with banana flavors.

Holy Mystic Spice Tea, Batman! I'm direct dripping some right now, and I've been letting it steep a few weeks. The super strong spiciness has toned down a bunch, and this is amazing! I'm fiddling with the voltage right now to see if I can perfect the flavor. Masala Chai is next!

Anyone else find the spiciness of some of these teas die down a bit after steeping?

I'm quoting myself. That is how excited I am - I think this stuff might wind up in my top five.

I think we need juice-specific steep recommendations. Mystic Spice Tea has literally turned into a new animal after a long steep.

OMG Fijian Nights smells AH-mazing!! Its going to be super hard to stay away from that one for another week....

Dig, dig, dig. Okay, I can never get tired of looking through the site and I almost feel at odds about typing this, but whatever! I just looked into getting a gift certificate and I noticed that my price reduction also includes those?! A $30 gift card is $27.75 (plus my shipping is free)! I don't know what else to say, maybe it's a mistake? I only really buy from one other vendor now, but I ain't looking anywhere else. At first it was the flavors, but it quickly became the place that is the most customer-centric (IMO) that is available.

Yes. I enjoy them both ways -- when they bite me, and when I bite them.

Added 5 drops of VG to my Luna Fortuna w/ breeze, per Wlad's suggestion.

Could it be that 5 little drops would make this much difference, or is my mind playing tricks on me? I dunno! But I will have no problem finishing this bottle now. (Though I will go without mint from now on.) Taste coming through, and the mint definitely seems more subdued.

Just so happens I cracked mine open today. Really nice vape. I love bananas but I cannot eat them anymore, too much sugar/carbs. So I seek the ultimate banana vape

On the inhale it is cinnamon and I really like the cinnamon Ahlusion is using. I have to admit the banana flavor is there, but still rather light (been steeping for 2 weeks, 2 days). The "bakery" flavors or there as well. Hopefully after another steep session things will balance out. Still really nice as is. In my comments back to Wlad I described it as "the cinnamon steals the show". Although we all know that these nectars need time to steep. So another few weeks is not a problem. Good things are worth waiting for.

Just as a side, I'll throw in thoughts on the Bananas Foster. Banana is much more pronounced here. Very distinct hints of the caramelizing and what I think is nuts in the background. A really pleasant vape but did not hit the spot for me. The Bolo is much better IMHO.

Hope that helps.

Is it possible to over-strawberry? I filled up my ZAP with Strawberry Short Cake today and I think I'm turning into a giant strawberry. Not that it's a bad thing...

Let me go ahead and warn you..if you turn into a strawberry..you are at a higher risk of being hunted, turned into an e-liquid and VAPED!!

I can already guess what Cinnamonkey will tell you...

Oh I see what's going on here...I step away from the page and let's pick on the monkey!!

Possibly. If you find yourself developing monkey-like characteristics, and a strange predilection for the Vampire Diaries, I'd start to be concerned.

Tonight...it's the Walking Dead...huh...and me without any Zombie repellent..I may have to remedy that in the future.

I love that show so much, it's one of only a few I actually looked forward to and bothered to watch. Well, my satellite provider got into a slap-fight with AMC over a stupid rate hike, and they ended up dropping them. GRRRRR! I sent a VERY STRONGLY worded letter to Dish Network, expressing my displeasure. Yes I did! I'm sure they were feeling the sting of that one for a while!

No but seriously, I'm really bummed out about it. I would have paid extra for the stupid channel.

Oh wow..Dish Network needs a gut punch...

I don't know if you have seen Season 2 yet, but they have Season 1 and 2 on Netflix. It makes for some great watching and re-watching..and watching some more.. I think I have seen them about 7 or 8 times...it never gets old. Love some zombies!!!

That's really good to know!

All I'm saying is that the monkey can be something of a creature of habit that displays strong predilections toward a certain type of fruit, as well as aggressive tendencies when said fruit is in short supply in the monkey's habitat!

I remember your "new to vaping" post. Glad you were able to find the good juices so quickly!

Well I am glad there are wonderful people on here with some honest advice....I have tried some that just weren't working for me....but luckily two vendors have really made a huge difference in taste for me...Ahlsuion and Dark City Vapors...if they were the only two vendors on the planet...I would be fine with that....I will try some other companies that seem to get good reviews....but ahlusion is the real deal....great communication....he took into account that I use primarily tanks and clearo and BAM! Flavors off the top...

If you ever make it down to this area again hit me up...I just moved from the St. John Town Center area to your old neighborhood...the Five Points/ Riverside area...LOVE riverside and its so nice to have so much to do within walking distance...being from Chicago I missed the cool urban vibe and Riverside has it in spades. ( One of our Vendors....Vapornine has a shop in Riverside...right on King St.)

I've rewatched them quite a few times! Bless Netflix!

Now I have to get the new episodes from... other sources. >.>

 

[Mr.Mann]

Boardwalk is on...I got it taping, but I just wanted to say that!

How do I link??? I just read that Dish and AMC has settled the dispute.

Dish Networks pays $700M, settles dispute with AMC and Cablevison - MSN TV News

Do you have channel 131? That's where it says it is. Good luck and hope this helps.

Oooh...I wonder if this would work with Mojito Cubano as well. I've been vaping this one for a good part of the day...and its very minty. What's interesting though, is its not like the "breeze" or mint/menthol options you can add, its a true "mint leaves" flavor...just like you'd expect in a Mojito. They steal the show a bit in this case. One puff, I will get all mint, but again, a very flavorful mint, the next puff will be sweeter with a bit of the lime, I am not getting much of the rum...I may ask for "extra rum" next time....like I typically do in bars as well. But I am wondering if the suggestion he gave Biz on adding a few drops of VG would lessen the mint in this case, therefore making the other flavors in there more prominent. Maybe I'll ask the man himself and see what he thinks!

I also heard they tend to throw poop for kicks and giggles. Buuuuuuut...I don't seem to have adapted to that bad habit....yet. Maybe it's an age thing.

OH MY GOD. Cinna! CINNA! How did I not know this???

Thank you so much, oh my god!

Obviously, my STRONGLY WORDED letter had some effect!
