I guess that it's been so long that I have dripped something so off putting in my atty that I...oh wait, never-mind. I would not call HHV un-vapeable if my standard for un-vapeable is...

Even quintuple bagged, it still comes through just to remind me of what hype can amount to.
Oh! I hope a little of that has my name on it! I'm not too proud to say I'm dying to try it. I'm assuming it falls into the family of things that either you love it, or you hate it. When it comes to those kinds of things, my curiosity requires that I find out where I fall. Oddly, I just can't bring myself to actually jump through the silly hoops to buy it.
Reminds me of the day I brought a big hunk of epoisses and some good sourdough to a job. Small lunch room, and that stuff just reeks. Everyone was giving me grief. I challenged the crew (who are mostly burger & fries kinda guys) to give it a try. Before I could blink, I had half a crew of Cheese eating surrender monkeys and I didn't even get any! They couldn't believe something that smelled that bad, could taste so good.
Thanks Kimberly. Means a lot to me coming from someone who clearly has great literary taste! C&H's were required reading for my kids. Read side by side with a dictionary, of course.

Mine is out for delivery as well...woohoo!
I recently re-tried three previous "OMG LOVE THIS" liquids to only feel sad that I wasted a carto on each one. And they are higher quality vendors than most other places, but tastes change and to me they are now unvapeable in that I feel nauseous after about 3 vapes. I also tried a new company (to me) and while they are good (but nothing I would reorder), they clogged up cartos fast and bad...something I have yet to experience with an Ahlusion liquid.

That's too bad that they've had to shut down due to too many orders. I had a lot of hope in their juices. Although I didn't care for the two aromatic tobaccos, or the chocolate creme, I was just about to order a round of non-aromatic tobaccos, when I found this highlighted message on their site, in the contact us section:
"All orders that have not been processed yet (if you have not received a "preparing" notice), your order will be cancelled and refunded. We have experienced too many delays to handle these orders in a timely manner. If you have notified us to keep your order open, it will be shipped by mid next week to the end of the week. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Edit: And this one in their online store hours section:
"We will remain closed until further notice. We have experienced too many delays in our shipment processes and will cancel and refund ALL orders that have not been processed yet. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I understand they only accept orders during business hours, but it looks like we're without Ahlusion until further notice. Ah, well, i'll just stick with my 'American eliquid Store' juice and all will be right with the world
I hope they get back on their feet soon and wish them the best. They seem to really put a lot into their product and go where no juice makers have gone before!
Peace

Crafty that is too bad...I know I can't tolerate the juice from a vendor I used for almost a year anymore. I really think for many of us our tastes just change through time. I keep plenty of juice in my stash but also try not to over do it for just that reason personally I just pass those juices on to someone that will enjoy them..I only keep what I like.
HHV is a good vendor and was my favorite before I tried Ahlusion. I would not call HHV unvapable as I'm out of Ahlusion and vaping gandalf right now.
I too am vaping Gandalf right now for old-time's sake, and my last tank was Vecchio Blend (strong tobacco option). Hoping not to offend anyone here and not to say it isn't a good juice, but by comparison, I find ole Gandy a little unsatisfying. People have been making comparisons between A+ and HHV, but while I can see where they're coming from to a certain extent (both are doing interesting things with tobacco and produce a full, creamy vapor that behaves like smoke), A+ is in a class of their own. With A+'s tobaccos, each lucid flavor note sings through with brilliant clarity, giving them a multi-layered effect. I would classify vanilla as a "heavy" or perhaps "thick" flavor, that adds volume, but can blend other flavors into oblivion if not used judiciously. However, in Vecchio, the tobacco cuts through the vanilla, and makes a perfect balance on the finish, rather than getting subsumed by it. I find Gandalf, to be flavorful, but it's a bit muddy, one-dimensional, and heavy-handed by comparison. The creamy aspect of HHV's tobaccos also leaves a less-than-pleasant residual flavor with me, whereas A+'s non-aromatic tobaccos (speaking only of House Blend and Vecchio because those are the two I've tried) are very clean and crisp. I get the impression that HHV took a lot of good flavors and put them together (certainly a laudable approach), whereas A+ exercises a bit more restraint and selects flavors to add based on their specific properties and the way they interact.
Are you sure about that?
When I talk about HHV tobaccos, I don't mention Gandalf these days. They have better juices.
There is a nice hand written note with my order asking me to let them know how my wife likes the Cafe Au lait. Really a great personnel touch! Great people and they will have my business for along time to come.
Vecchio Blend (strong tobacco option) is one of the ones I have steeping and I cant wait to try it.
Mine's about a month old now (according to the DOB). It was good at two weeks, but keeps getting better and better. I'm definitely wishing I had ordered a bigger bottle!
I am cheating and trying their house blend without steeping, at this point it taste to me like an improved hhv huntsman wonder what it taste like after a good steep.
Vape mail! I was very surprised because tracking estimated delivery on Monday. In my mailbox was a carefully packaged BVC, Tiramisu (both 30mls) and my sample of Boba Tea with passion fruit. Everything smells delish and is cap off resting in my cabinet.

I just was not impressed with hhv. I tried gandalf, Gollum, pirates booty, ompa, and dark horse. Did not really like any of them except pirates booty.
Part of me hopes that I hate chai latte and bvc because I only got 10 ml bottles
Now that I said it they'll probably end up being favorites.

Pirate's Booty, Dragon's Fire, and Shadowfax are way the best HHV tobaccos to me.
I am sad I just saw on Alusions website, that they are closed until further notice....I was going to try to catch them open so that I could make an order...they were the last of the must try vendors on my list(for now)...would have already ordered but never caught them open :/ Oh well, I will have something to look forward to when they do reopen...for now I have some HHV and AiV to enjoy It is funny, each time I try a new vendor, they seem to step up from the last...strange really...I loved AiV (still do) and then I tried HHV and liked them even more...If it holds true for Alusion, it might be the Holy Grail of vaping lol

I think it runs a little deeper than the bottles, but the bottles is a major part. Also, Wlad won't just use any bottle due to his standards, due to his working knowledge of all things chemistry, and due to how much he cares about his customers. (Glass 10 mL bottles may put the price up too much, but maybe...) As to why he won't just allow people to buy only larger bottles? I think, repeat, I think that he wouldn't be comfortable putting anyone in a place where they had no option but to purchase that much liquid. I don't know that from any talks with him, that is merely a theory.
Why do you think I still have it, Mo?
W&A are NOT merely running a great juice mixing business as much as they are running a great flavor making business. The difference is clear. When Wlad tells me about how much work it is to get all of the tannin and caffeine (allergens) out of the tea leaves, it should be considered science. When Wlad states in one of his articles (on the site) that he is able to "fine tune" flavors down to the "molecule," it should be considered, and is, science (and also a feat of which is unparalleled). After we get our juices and all of that science has been dealt with to keep us safe and interested, then we are able to start appreciating his art. An artful science is the Ahlusion difference.
