Ahlusion

[lauragal]

Its been a couple of months since I have....and it may have been once or twice if that. Since this thread came to life, I really haven't been posting anywhere else, except in the Bull Box mods drip tip thread. Now I've made it a point to just keep my suggestions to myself given how slammed they are. (for example...there was some discussion about juices in my other thread yesterday, and I SO wanted to say "wait....Ahlusions is FAR better than those", but I left it alone.

So I just gave peppermint mocha a go...I am pleasantly surprised! Especially this young! This is the earliest I have ever tried one of the Ahlusion juices...I mean they arrived yesterday so its been about 24hrs cap off. I was worried it would be too heavy on the coffee, but it isn't at all. It tastes exactly like a peppermint mocha should....creamy chocolate and peppermint, a little coffee underneath. And what I really like is that it is truly "peppermint", its not a menthol-like vape....its peppermint...no better way to describe it.

I also frequent the Bull Box Mods drip tip thread (same as you Daniele, that and this thread are my only two), and I felt the same way as you yesterday when they were talking about juices!! I started to post about Ahlusion and then canceled my post!! I figured it just wasn't worth it, especially now as to how busy Ahlusion has been, and that they will be closed until the new year.

So glad you like the Peppermint Mocha - it is one of my "must haves" in the house.

Flavor, vapor and ease of changing juice is out of this world. I pull out one of the top loose wicks on the coil for better wicking. I am getting ready to order a couple more. Using it right now and I just love it.

Krash, are these rebuildable like the vivi novas? If so, how is it to clean these? As easy as the vivi novas?

I'm still on an endless search for vivi nova type rebuildable tanks that are made of glass - I would be in heaven if I could find one.

Edited to add:

Nevermind, I spoke too soon - just read your post about how easy it is to clean

So I've just tried my first Ahlusion juice, Smooth Criminal, and I immediately like it. On top of a light tobacco base I'm getting...cream? and a slight spicyness that my buds are interpreting as cinnamon. It almost tastes like a tobacco horchata to me- is that crazy? Whatever it is, it's good

Ok, I just looked these up and realized that the mouthpiece/tip is sealed - so they won't work for me! I need to use my new stone drip tips from </title> <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /> <meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//a

Same here, really want one sandblasted. Going with an aga-t & ibtanked tube to quell my wanting.

I will have to look that up!

I have some glass phiniac tanks (as pictured a few posts up) that I really like. But every now and then they leak, and it's a pia to fill them with a needle, etc. I just want something real easy like a vivi nova, but in glass.

Does anyone know what the ID of the Vivi Nova tank tube is?

I think almost any good juice will qualify.
Seriously, I'll get my calipers and give it a measure. Would you like the mini too?

O.D. = 19mm
I.D. = 15mm

lauragal, the new vivi nova 3.5 ml is supposed to be made of a much improved plastic that won't leech, if that's the concern. it's said to have been tested with appropriate corrosives. i can't confirm that, as it's almost brand new, but that's the claim.

 

[daniele25]

I guess I have been super lucky with my vivi novas...I haven't had any leaking issues with them at all

You should try the Triple V pyrex tank from Valley View Vapes. It has a fill hole for super-easy refilling. It's big enough for an Ahlusion dropper.

Thanks aubergine - I have several new vivi novas - my concern is not the plastic leeching - I've not had that problem. It's all about the taste for me. I find glass tanks to be have a much "cleaner" taste than any plastic or metal that I've used (I have bought the metal replacement tanks for the vivi novas to see if they give a better taste and they don't).

I don't want to use tanks like the Zap because I know myself pretty well and KNOW that I cannot be bothered with wicking and re-coiling. So I will wait for my dream glass vivi nova! With the Zap glass and others I can only hope someone will come out with a rebuildable glass vivi nova!

I have one of these - I have not even used it because I can't for the life of me get the O rings back on! I can't believe it would be so hard - I don't have this problem with the Phiniac tanks.

But the bottom line is that I'm looking for a glass vivi nova style so that I don't have to bother with carto's. It would be so easy and taste SO clean - vivi nova + glass = perfection!

Oh....leeching...lol, i read that wrong.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why no one (to my knowledge) has come out with a glass Vivi Nova replacement tank yet. It seems like a no-brainer given the popularity of Vivi Novas, and it would make someone a healthy chunk of change. I don't think it would be particularly hard to do -- glass tank with stainless steel threaded upper and lower sections.

They have aluminum caps too. They're much easier to handle than the grommets.

Thanks Mo, the reason I was asking is because Bedazzle makes some awesome Quartz glass tubes...her's are all 16 mm and...I want to say, 19mm (if that is the same size as the Zen tube ID). So if I let her know the lenght & she does have the 19mm, I believe she would gladly make some quartz glass tubes, at least for the regular sized Nova. She has the coolest fused transfers she bakes on the quartz glass too...her thread (with pics she just took of some of her work) is here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...225-bedazzle-glass-tanks-146.html#post7993498. I have been using her tubes on all my tanks ever since she first started selling here on ECF, they are awesome!

I feel like making proper threads on borosilicate isn't too easy

Tez, I'm right there with you - makes no sense to me. I even went on the Phiniac site (they build all glass tanks, etc.) and they were talking about making plastic or metal tanks for the Vivi Nova, and that it would be too much work to make a glass one considering the threading that needs to be done.

I don't really understand that - it seems like a no-brainer to me - the glass could even somehow be soldered onto the metal ends, which would have the threading. Maybe I'm dumb.......

BTW - currently vaping Tiramisu in one tank and Pink Label in the other!!!
