It's all in good fun! Ahlusion's flavors are so complex compared to other vendors, and this is the closest I've ever gotten to being a connoisseur of anything besides maybe good craft beers on occasion. If we were talking about the typical vendor, the thread would go like this:

haha! True dat! And I haven't even had anything but BGB, Vecchio, Ahpple House Blend and Smooth Cinnam... I mean... Smooth Criminal! Can't wait till I place my second order and get some CPBT and SVC, amongst others :) I'll be sure to use less-concrete descriptions :p

I'm vaping me some CPBT right now. Can't go wrong there, although I still find it to be a controversial if not psychotic juice. :)

Also, I just have to say this:

When I was in college way back, my friends owned a little coffee shop that I managed. All of the customers and staff were amazing, and it turned into a little family. I had customers that would come in every night just for the conversations and barely drink any coffee. It was the epitome of small-business becoming a fabric of the community, and it was a blast.

I just got the most wonderful email from Wlad, and I was instantly brought back to that coffee shop.

Straight from the Man: "Our Pink Label does not contain any coconut – there are only a few flavors with coconut, unless specifically mentioned in the product options or product description."
I haven't tasted Pink Label yet, but I'm guessing through the power of suggestion I will taste coconut too :D

I put myself on a one-week Ahlusion hiatus, because I felt like maybe my palate was deadening to A+, having vaped it almost exclusively for weeks and weeks on end. I could still taste them, they just didn't seem as bright and sparkly as they had been. If this is successful, I'm going to try to always include some non-Ahlusion flavors in the regular rotation.

Day 3: :-(
This is gonna be hard. I hope there's a good payoff.

I had something similar recently with all of my juices, and I didn't even know it until I picked up an HH.357. Now I know why Wlad likes to know what type of equipment you are using.

I've been doing that off and on throughout the day, but God forbid a whole week! Eek! Stay strong and reap the bright and sparkly rewards :)

I had thought about doing simple unflavored for a week, but ultimately I don't think I'm strong enough to stick to that. So I'm alternating between unflavored and very lightly flavored.

Already, after just a few days, the subtly flavored juices are taking on stronger characteristics. So I'm thinking when I finally reunite with my beloved, it'll be like UNICORNS DANCING IN MY MOUTH.

In case you don't or won't have some, Wonderland, I've got some Pink Label on the way and if there's still any left by December, you can give it a shot.

Tell me that's the pills talking! :)

There is no coconut in Pink Label? SERIOUSLY? That is the main flavor note I get! :facepalm:

Me too. And when I clean my Mini Nova tanks under hot hot water, the smell of coconut is VERY prevalent. I'm shocked, I tell you.

I wonder what that is we're interpreting as coconut.

WOW.....I am shocked in this case only because I never tasted coconut in Pink Label, but I have little to no faith in my own ability to pin point flavors. So the surprise in this case for me comes with me feeling like maybe my tastebuds are growing up a bit!

We know Cinna definitely didn't get coconut in her Pink Label! lol

And to add to the whole coconut discussion....after seeing a few more posts and Wlad's comment about only a few juices having coconut, and it being specified in the descriptions. I think it was Mouiex that brought this up a little while back...but it seems that some of the creamier juices are where people are getting a coconut like flavor. When i saw someone mention coconut milk a few posts back....it made me think that maybe that sweet creamy flavor is playing some mind tricks on a few folks and reminding them of a coconut milk type of flavor. I think Boba Tea was mentioned as well...how i typically describe that juice is milky & sweet. I don't get any coconut taste from that one....but it seems that some do when there is the milky/creamy & sweet combo going on. Just my 2 cents. :)

It's probably a trick of the taste buds and I only had a few puffs, but Strawberry Shortcake tasted like it almost had a touch of cinnamon in it -- not saying it's in there necessarily, it just tasted a little bit like it in a very subtle way.


Hey Bukket, you've got vapemail coming your way.

Thanks Tez! You're the best :)

I'll let you know how he likes it.

All this talk of "steeping," "waiting," "maturing," "3-4 weeks +" makes me

VERY HAPPY.
:) :laugh: **


As to the "baked spice" mystery, since we now know it isn't cinnamon, I'm thinking maybe clove and/or nutmeg -- used perfectly judiciously, of course. :)

I have no clue about the "coconut" mystery. :confused: I can say that Boba Tea with Coconut is terrific, and unmistakably coconut! (The Boba Honeydew -- after much steeping -- also rocks, and has NO coconut notes! :laugh:)




**Bukket, we need to have a word. :glare::D

Btw I'm home from work today because I threw my back out, and I'm stuck in this chair and loopy on painkillers. So that's my blanket excuse for anything silly I might happen to say. ^.^

I hope you're up and about soon. Glad to hear you have pain killers to help you through it. I have degenerative disc disease throughout my spine so I know how you feel. Take care of yourself and don't do any lifting!

I rotate flavors a lot and still have a couple left that aren't Ahlusion's. They are pretty bland so I tend to vape them when my favorites are losing flavor. I hadn't planned on buying them anymore but I guess I should keep one around. I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it. I've ordered a few tobaccos to try so maybe they will work instead?
