Here's an update. Let me just say this first and foremost, I don't think I have ever gotten such a detailed and friendly response from a Vendor in the year and a half I have been vaping. From Mr. Wlad himself no less...and FAST...wow. I'm not even a customer yet (that's about to change in a few minutes.), and not only did I get my basic questions around, but he took the time to fully explain the why's and how's. He also encouraged me to only try 3 or 4 flavors at a time to spend time with the flavors and not get overwhelmed. How many business owners do that??? Isn't the goal to get us to buy as much as possible and if we don't like them...meh...oh well, they still got paid.

Completely...floored me.

Wow. Now I see what all of the praise really is about here. Not only did I get my head clear of what I want to order, but I don't feel like I am playing Roulette with my order. What's more, is I know Mr. Wlad is serious and dedicated about their company. Ladies and gentlemen, this is more than just a beautiful website. They are compassionate to us as buyers and that one email is definitely going to be a start to a very incredible journey.

Customer service is a stickler for me. I work with patients every single day, and my own goal is to not only treat people the way that I want to be treated, but to go above and beyond with smiles and compassion, because let's be honest, NO ONE wants to be on the patient's end of a doctor visit, even if it's a check up. The customer service I experienced today went above and beyond, and I appreciate it.

Thanks Mr. Mann and EleanorR, once again, you definitely have led me in the right direction.

They understand the idea that a long term satisfied customer is better than a one-time customer who makes a big order. I sent them an email asking for suggestions and got a response in literally like 15 minutes. Really hope these juices are to my liking because I want to be one of those long term satisfied customer!

Nah, it's a liddle puddy cat.............

Heh. I think some days, that should be my avatar.:p


Tasting note: Caramel Pear Black Tea and Orange Nocturne
Steep time: 2.5 Days, Cap off

Caramel Pear Black Tea;
I won't lie, I dripped this on receipt and I've been skeptical of this whole Steeping thing. But I'm new, so forgive me. My first impression is that there was no pear or caramel in this, all I got was the bitter, tannic astringency of dark, unsweetened tea. After 2 and a half days of steeping, I did what I do with my flavors. I mixed my 24mg, extra flavor 50/50 down to 20mg with a dosed shot of PG. Forgive me, I'm a cheap ....... and I prefer subtlety and a little cheap extra mass. I'm tight, but I'm honest, and the chemist in me can't resist the urge to have a hand in the creation. I always request extra flavor because I like the luxury of trying it first like that, and then diluting it to taste where appropriate.

I have a long history of tasting. I categorize producers of wine by their signatures. Some are masculine, some are feminine, some are powerful, some are subtle and some are complex, to name just a few generalized attributes. My first vape experience was Volt. Simple but well made. My 2nd was DeKang. Bland and/or monolithic and often either oily or too citric. My 3rd, fortunately, was AIV. Refined Subtlety. And now I've tripped the Ahlusion fantastic. My generalizations for them are bold originality and extreme complexity.

This juice has definitely improved from the time it spent steeping, I will be skeptical no more. A pale golden color in the tank. Saliva sucking tannins on the attack predispose the palate for some sweetness, which is soon lightly satisfied by the ever so subtle juiciness of the pure, light pear undertone, which is then complimented by a heavier and more enveloping taste of the caramel. Not candied, but delicate. Not a cacophony, but a symphony with timing. Definitely not your child's candy plate, these are adult flavors for a developed palate. Your sweet tooth will be left wanting, but the cerebral harmony of these flavors are more than about something to taste. These are something to think about. You won't find this recipe or anything like it on Ejuice me up. It takes bold imagination to put something like this together and trust it to the masses. Frankly, I'm a little surprised at the popularity of this juice as it is unlike anything I've tried in my short time with nic juices. I think this will benefit from additional time in the bottle, but I had to fill a 3ml drip bottle for the here and now. As much as I liked it, I couldn't pry it from the fingers of my better half, who has a much better palate than my own. She loved it best of the two juices we tried tonight.

Orange Nocturne - As I thought, this is SO in my wheelhouse. Slightly more amber hued than the previous juice. Outrageously dusty Cacao tannins only slighty less astringent than the Black Tea. Beautifully complimented by the oh so slightly sweet carmelized (and herb spiced) orange. Also mixed down to 20mg with PG after initially trying, this also benefits from the slightly more subtle approach. The nasal exhale picks up on an herbal spiciness that adds significant complexity to this juice. Another adult flavor that conjures memories of holiday treats and begs a glass of champagne for accompaniment. Who am I to argue? Is the orange complimenting the chocolate, or is it the other way around? I have time to decide, but there is definitely a synergy to this. Another bold and daring combination and flavor profile. This is a juice for someone who thinks they are ready to move beyond a tobacco flavor to help them off the cigs, but doesn't want to cross to sticky dessert vapes or sweet fruity vapes. This is my favorite of the two.

I'll save my 1st day impressions of the Blueberry Colada and Tiramisu, as the two reviewed juices evolved significantly in the short time they spent steeping, and I have yet to re-sample these last two flavors after steeping.

Bravo!!! Most excellent! Heh, "Tasting Note" indeed. :) I am so glad you have joined us, and are enjoying these juices. Be warned: if you think you like them now, just wait another week or so . . .

I very eagerly look forward to all your upcoming reviews!

Wow again. Wlad and Alley are just incredibly impressive people. I'm tremendously impressed by everything about Ahlusion. I'm so glad you too have joined us, Cinnamonkey!

Reading all of the comments from late last night and today have me smiling with happiness, for ourselves as vapers and for Ahlusion as a vendor. I just hope and pray they are ready for the tidal wave of joyous customers that is sure to keep growing as the word continues to spread!

Here goes my first order with Ahlusion:

Strawberry Cream

Strawberry Vanilla Cake

Sweet Strawberry

Pink Label Juice ($10 of every Pink Label juice goes directly to PinkRibbon.org, which is another reason to be enchanted. I don't know of many..if any...vendors that have a juice dedicated to charity organizations).

Of course my sample request was for Strawberry Shortcake, but even if a sample is not available, my experience so far is spectacular. I love these guys already!!

Lisa, let me assure you, Wlad is not the type of vendor who will say, "Oh, you've got to spend an extra dollar to get the free sample -- he just isn't like that. That is not to say that everyone should try to get over on his kindness, but he is not rigid.


And let me assure you Mr. Mann I have absolutely no reason to believe Wlad is anything but EXCEEDINGLY generous with his customers but it's not in my nature to take advantage of his good will. I believe his product is worth the price he's asking and I'm happy to pay it despite all my whining ;)

Sorry to keep everyone waiting, I'm sure you're all sleep deprived and breathless with anticipation.
I ordered:
Cafe Au Lait
Melon-Berry Frost
Caramel Pear Black Tea
and requested a sample of Ole!
I'll let you know how it all works out - now get some sleep!

Sounds good! :) I personally love that CPBT!

After reading through much of this thread, I just placed my first order! Got Plain Boba Tea, Cranberry Autumn, Peppermint Mocha, Car-Mal Mambo, and Caramel Pear Black Tea. Asked for a sample of the Spiced Pumpkin Latte. All 6MG and 70/30 VG/Pg - no menthol or sweetener added.

Super excited. Hoping I can find these to keep my interest longer than a lot of the other stuff I've been vaping. Went for neutral/complex flavors in hopes of perhaps finding something I can order in larger quantities without fear of tiring out. Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews, guys and gals!

:D Want some vapor with your strawberries?

In all seriousness, I've been waiting for someone to review the Stawberry Vanilla Cake. I just love the idea of it, even though my past experience with dessert vapes have been anywhere from disappointing to disastrous.

If anyone can make me love a dessert vape, I'm pretty sure it would be Ahlusion. :)

Yeah...ummm....about that. I got the Strawberry Vanilla Cake with the "extra strawberries" option. The sample request...yeah..I begged for extra strawberries with that too...

Heck, I think if Sweet Strawberry came with the option of "extra strawberries" I would have checked it with an over-enthusiastic HECK YEAH!!

Oh and that Pink Label juice...it was a recommendation...and yeah...strawberry is in there.:facepalm:

"Your order is almost complete! We have moved your order to our bottling and packaging area and should soon be updated with a tracking number once shipped."

Amazing. I expect the next one to be:

"We've filled 2.5 of 7 of your bottles, and they are doing great. We're going to SaladWorks for dinner, but we should be back in about an hour. After that, we're going to have a few Yuenglings and watch the game. We will have all of your bottles filled and packed up by the 3rd quarter."

Haven't taken a vape, and I'm already an Ahlusion fan. :D

On the dessert vape front - you guys might have remembered I ordered the Maple Dream.....looks like a maple cupcake - the swirl probably did me in:)
"A creamy fluffy Maple dessert flavor. Available in 10 ml, 30 ml and 60 ml."

I was curious as I really like the hint of Maple from Vermillion River in their Kentucky Maple Blend

At first - I thought it was too sweet - tasty - but not something I would order again (and that was after a week of steeping)- but, this dessert vape has calmed down quite a bit over this past week and is quite a treat with a cup of coffee. I think I might miss it when it is gone.

So far- I have 10 flavors (5 steeping and I am not touching them for a while)- but I'm a little scared if I feel this way with all of them....I will be drowning in Ahlusion juice (secret YAY!)

Thanks Mr. Mann. It's the craziest thing, really. When I first joined ECF, I was all about the Cinnamon vapes (hot candy and bakery). For about 8 months now, ever since I got my hands on Strawberry Shortcake at Ms. T's bakery, I just couldn't stop vaping Strawberry flavors. I respond to a good Strawberry vape the way most would respond to a good tobacco vape. Crazy perhaps, but Strawberry is just that one flavor that keeps me in a happy place.

I found some reviews on Strawberry Vanilla Cake, by the way. Now I am even more excited to get that juice in my hands. If I could have reached through those videos and swiped those juices I would be well on my way to the beginning of a lovely criminal record.:)

Caramel Pear Black Tea is, as many have said, wonderful! I tried it when I first got it, then let it sit for a week. Was much better but I let it sit another week and now I can't put it down! It seems it is better everyday! You taste each flavor separately but they pass through each other at the same time. Enjoy!

I have had the Strawberry Vanilla Cake and I have to say it is excellent. However when I had it, it was when Ahlusion first started, so it has been quite awhile. I do remember always vaping it! I definitely recommend trying it though!

The Maple Dream is great! But I was told from Wlad to make sure that I let it steep minimum of a week because of the type of juice. So I did just that, let it sit over a week then started it and I went through the entire 10ml bottle in like 2-3 days, I vaped nothing else all day, every day! And I am not normally a maple fan!
