Ah could someone help me out here? I got my juices about 1.5 weeks ago, and when I first smelled them, all of them smelled super strong and chemically. I never believed in steeping before so I filled up 5 cartos with the 5 juices (Melonade, Boba Honeydew, Berry Shangri La Tea, Vecchio Blend and Devil Dog, all 18mg 70/30 pg/vg) and when I vaped them, they were super peppery and weird tasting.

Wish I could help. I've only had the Devil Dog, and I didn't much care for it either.

What?!? It WASN'T me... Someone hacked my account... OK, maybe it was me, but I was PUI CPBT, OK? Something. Whaaaaatever.

Oh, so now you have a degree in CPBT? Why don't you link me to a CPBT study? Oh, you want me to google it? ... is a "google"? I don't even care what this so called "study" of yours says, but CBPT requires 30 grams of salt to be thrown over your shoulder if you walk it under a ladder. That's why they use saline solutions when a black cat crosses your path. Geesh, some people will believe anything.

Fair enough, I decided to let them steep. A week later, and they still taste the same. Am I steeping wrong? It's being kept in a cool place away from sunlight, and I left the cap off for the first 24 hours or so-ish. Does it just take a long time?

I'm a little perplexed here. I haven't tried any of the juices you bought, but the ones I have tried, not one has come up with a chemical smell. The "pepperiness" could be attributed to nicotine. Ahlusion doesn't play or water down their nicotine. If they say you are getting 18mg of nicotine..you are getting all 18mg..no substitutes. When I did my traditional 24mg with Ahlusion, it took some getting used to. I realized what I was missing with other vendors. Possibly crank up your pg/vg ratio a bit to 50/50..that might smooth it out a bit.

Test your juices out every couple of days or so. Vapes I enjoy right out of the package seem to really get even better as time goes on. Smoother..blendier...and worth a steep if I could just be a little patient...but I'm not..so I get that smoother tip on my Ahlusion juices around the middle of a 30ml bottle. Also, for the record, Ahlusion uses natural extracts and flavor blends, which might be a bit strange if you aren't used to it. I was so used to fake tasting flavors and actual chemical flavors, that while Ahlusion was great..it was also something to get used to. Who knew a Strawberry could be so fresh or a blueberry could be so tart. The cake is beautifully done. The mint is wild and breezy and chilling. Combat that with my nic buzz and I was all over the place trying to figure it all out.

Also take a good look at your equipment. I have tried Ahlusion in cartos and tanks..but they aren't half as good to me as they are on my atty of choice and my squeezy box (vmod xl). Still a nice vape..but so much more flavorful and complex with my favorite set up.

In closing..some juices you just have to set aside and forget about them for a little while. Come back in a few weeks and they are finally where you want them to be, tastewise and sometimes you just have to wait and see..maybe they are the juices for you..maybe not so much. Take it one day at a time and just see what happens.

Wishing you all the best. Hope it gets better for you. :)

I think that some people (not you, Mo) may think that Wlad's warning on Devil Dog is some reverse psychological marketing ploy, but it is in fact a sincere plea for people to not take it lightly.

I think Devil Dog should require a doctors note. :laugh: Devil Dog is NOT for everybody, and in fact, barely for some. But if you are the W2V, GeJ bold type NET lover, you MUST try it.

xkrazyx... One thing I might add to the above advice.. try one flavor each day.. I know for me...if I vape a juice I just really don't like it kind of ruins everything for me for awhile, just can't get rid of the nasty one to enjoy the others. Hope that doesn't sound too silly.. just a suggestion. I am going to get hammered for admitting this...but I don't steep my Ahlusion juices before I try them. I'm sure they get better with age on their own...El don't hate me...I just don't have the patience you do:laugh:

I see BGB and DD as essentially the same, though there is a brightness to BGB that is much more friendly. Devil Dog is heavy on the latakia and that is a leaf that jumps out of the bottle.

p.s. You? Blow? Impossible! It's not like I am selling green juice and abruptly stop for a night. :D

Ok..just wanted to post that there is a sneaky peek on Ahlusion's Facebook page of the INSIDE of the inner sanctum along with this tidbit of information.

"Base flavors being inventoried and placed in their new home. By tomorrow around this time we should have 2 racks filled. Getting there, almost ready folks."

Looka very clean, methodical, and definitely where I can trust my juice to be created with the utmost care. Thanks Ahlusion!!!!
