I wonder how long before the first downers to visit?
Well, everyone I hate to be the downer in the group. Mr.Mann was wondering when the first one would come along and I guess it will be me. I just got my first order in from Ahlusion and unfortunately I cannot find anything nice to say about it. Oh, and Mr.Mann, this is your fault.
You convinced me to try them. Rest assured, I won’t let you easily forget this! What was the problem? You will have to read on. It was horrible!
It all started hours after I ordered. To my horror, I found that I made a terrible mistake. I quickly contacted them and confirmed I indeed made a grievous error. Quickly I sent a request to see if they could modify my order and correct my failure. Knowing how other vendors work, I was not hopeful. They spoiled that mood quickly. When I checked my email in the morning I found they had fixed it overnight. At 1am no less! I was floored. Why would they be working so late is beyond my comprehension. Not only that, they broke all my pre-conceptions and actually made a website change I suggested so others would not do the same. Gosh, what were they thinking! Putting customers first? What planet are these guys from?!?
Next, the packaging was a pain. All the contents were nicely wrapped and safe and sound in the box. The lids were all sealed shut with a protective wrapping to keep the contents safe. It took me at least a minute to get all those off. When all you want to do is get the first aroma of the liquids a minute is a wasted eternity. It was like a journey through Hades. But wait, it just gets worse.
So, I finally got the lids off and I could experience the aroma’s. Deep, clear, and pleasing to the senses. It was downright unnerving. Rarely have I received juices in this condition and it caught me off guard! Then I was forced to let the steep for a while. Those exquisite bottles sitting on my shelf. Staring back at me. Glaring at me. Taunting me. It was quite a hideous experience as I am sure any of you can imagine!
So, the bottles you ask? All clearly labeled with everything you could want on them. Contents, date made nicotine levels and more. I am so used to not finding these simple things and needing to going back to vendor’s site to find it. They took that away from me! The smaller bottles were clear and they put clear labels on them. Now I will know how little I will have left and when to re-order should the need arise. The larger bottles were in beautiful cobalt blue glass and have silver labels which added to their elegance. Yea, I’m just not used to such refined and high quality packaging and being subjected to this was near intolerable.
Then, knowing it was too soon, I decided to try them. Yea, I know I should have let the steep for a few more days. However, the taunting was unbearable. Here is some of what I found (read at your own risk – it’s not pretty):
Son of a Peach – It was extremely pleasing. There were several flavors, none stood out and the blended amazingly well. There was a hit of lime that came on the exhale that delighted the senses. The peach and nectarines they claimed were in it? Well, they were there and they tasted … real. How could they possibly do that? It must be a trick. Time to try another to see if these guys could actually be this good (yea, like that’s going to happen…)
Strawberry Vanilla Cake –The aromas were misleading from the start. Heck, it did not smell right – it was more like, well, the only way I can possibly describe it is --
Heavenly Strawberry Vanilla Cake. In the atomizer it went. Excellent vapor and throat-hit. The favors were not overpowering and once again blended well. It was just like the real thing without the tactile feel of the cake. What are these people doing?!? How could they do this to me?
Now I realize this is going to be a real problem. It will ruin my already weak reputation on ECF. How will I be able to tell people about Ahlusion and not be able to come up with one single thing I don’t like? They will all think I am lying and that I am employed by Ahlusion. Which, by the way, I assure you I have no affiliation with!
But I still have more nectar to try. So one by one I explore them. They were all the same as the flavors before them, each one a delight. The Coco-Berry Cream with creamy coconut and strawberries. Fijian Nights was an indescribable pleasure! Next, the Raspberry Sunset charmed my senses. And finally the Car-Mal Mambo, which obviously needs a bit more time to steep, but is still enchanting. Now I have to wait for that to steep! Come on now! What else can they torture me with?
And what’s this? A sample I requested was there. I hadn’t noticed it as I was so upset all this time. And not the standard 4-5 ml sample mind you. They pulled another fast one. Tricked me they did! Included a 10ml! And it was amazing.
So Mr.Mann, I blame this all on you.
You convinced me to try them. It’s your fault I am experiencing Ahlusion’s exquisite flavors! Just when I think I have hit bottom I find my wife is now vaping some of them. I have seen Ahlusion bottles hiding near her vaping supplies! She adores the Son of a Peach and already has a tank of it going! She is also watching me like a hawk. She knows when I get like this anything might happen. I could even end up ordering more, lusting after each of the Ahlusion’s flavors. Because now I find myself spending far too much time trying to find what else I might order. Where is my credit card! Dang it!
." and PS Thanks for the review. It's excellent.
