Just posted this in another thread for a different vendor, but both shipped today, and I have the same question:

So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. My taste-buds are changing and changing quickly. I loaded up on my favorite straight up menthol/tobacco juice that help me quit. I then tried some other flavored tobacco / non-tobacco juices and those are all gone, leaving me with said non-satisfying menthol/tobacco."

My order from Ahlusion shipped today - what would be the absolute minimum steeping time needed for me to somewhat enjoy Boba Tea, Masala Chai, Mystic Spice Tea, or Car-mal Mambo?

Not to be funny, but a minimum would be out of the box. Beyond that, 24-48 hrs cap off should set you up pretty nicely, and anything more would be icing.


p.s. Also give a nice shake before uncapping and a nice shake after re-capping.

Daniele25,

Ahlusion is on its way to you. You should get it before your trip. Cheers~

Axol had it right.....You really are the MANN! :) Thanks so much! Pre-steeped and all...talk about heaven! Placing an order tonight for some others as well....thankfully I have that email from Wlad...or making that decision to cut back from the 15 I had selected was going to be far too painful!

No problem! Have a good, safe trip.

Thanks so much!

I have been wondering if anyone here really read into my post about the Xpress liquids that Ahlusion is going to be coming out with to accommodate the small samples. Just in case there is some misunderstanding, or no real understanding, the Xpresss liquids are called "Xpress" (I imagine) because they will come, essentially, pre-steeped. So, those juices will able to be judged quicker, thus getting your assessment times down which can help in that 10 day window of 15% off opportunity.

Lastly, for those that have gotten their juices today or recently, could you post as soon as you receive the coupon/feedback email? Wlad takes his time to send that email so that you have more than a few days of steeping in addition to the 10 days the email provides. Once again, if you ask for an extension (within reason), Wlad has NO problem with granting extra time.

I was too greedy in ordering that cider and a few others- I did not wait for my thanks for your feedback coupon got the juice Sat and do not have the email yet (my guess would be soon though)
I still havent touched that last batch I received.... They had their 48 hours - but I shook and stored knowing that my patience will reward me.

Not to worry though - I will use that coupon on the larger bottles of my current favs from the 10.........

The Car Mel Mambo- is one that I have noticed big changes in through the approx 2 weeks that I have had it..... I let them sit for a week before trying and while it was good - it was not something I would vape for too long.... in this second + week- it has settled quite a bit into some deliciously smooth caramel concoction.... that I am vaping right now instead of dessert after dinner!

It's a work trip...so unfortunately not all that exciting! :(

So glad you mention about asking for the extension....I have a feeling my order will get here the day before I am leaving for my trip...so I probably won't get to that (or the juices :() until I am back...I'll be sure to let Wlad know the reason for the delay in my response. (Come to think of it, if its 10 days from the time I place my order, I probably won't make it..if its 10 days from shipping, I might be fine without an extension)

Second...is there any issue in steeping with the cap off for MORE than 2 days? (wondering if they do get here before my trip..if I should remove the caps & leave....or wait to uncap until I get back, or what!) I suppose I can always ask my dog sitter to do some juice sitting for me too. LOL

Lastly...I have narrowed down the list....but need to cut 2! If you guys had any suggestions on what to cut here..what would they be?

Caramel Pear Black Tea
Melonade
Melon-berry Frost (Wlad's suggestiong...keeping this for sure)
Pink Label Juice (Wlad's suggestion, keeper)
Mojito Cubano
Raspberry Sunset
Serious Cider


Trying to go for a variety without going nuts, but it's just so hard!! LOL!

He doesn't send the email until several days after you get the juice.

No problems at all. I would keep them in a cool dark place though.

I'd omit the Melonade simply because you are already going to be getting another melon juice. Other than that, I'd say I have no clue. Will one of them be in the "sample" category?

p.s. Maybe the Rasberry Sunset could be omitted because of the "berry" in the MBF. I think it is best to have disparate flavors to really taste the range.

Clearly not this anyone ;)

Yes, he mentioned the Xpress line in one of his e-mails and I can't wait to see what he does with it. Thinking it will be preconfigured versions of their biggest sellers with shorter or no steep times. Which for me would be great right now because I just spilled my last 2ml of Sleighride. Managed to save about 3/4ML and will be dripping it slowly and sadly. Oh well I still have a few flavors from my last order to fully explore.

Ah...that's perfect on the email front, and on the steeping front. Thanks so much!

On the juices....we were thinking alike there! It was Eleanor's stunning review of the Melonade that made it so hard not to put that one in the cart! LOL

Rasberry Sunset was on the bottom of my list until Wlad said in his email it is one of his favorite juices. Now...that's not to say my tastes are anything like his....but it still says alot to me. :)

Yes, one will go to the sample. So technically...I just need to cut one!

My juices from Ahlusion are one step closer to coming home to mama... just noticed they are heading to the bottling and packaging area. I don't know which strawberry flavor I am more excited about, or maybe I am just excited over all of them. After reading over the website quite deeply, I can only continue to be more and more impressed by what they stand for.

...that extra strawberry option doesn't hurt things either...:D

I see you. ;)

Ahhh, yes, well see, let me explain my ignorance. I mentioned in my order that although I understood offering the sampler sizes was not a small undertaking how very much I was looking forward to it. The email replay explained the Xpress connection. And then the light bulb flickered on.

Dumb but happy.

I don't mean to seem like the resident Ahlusion intern or anything like that, but I have learned so much from my talks with Wlad that I really like to try and share some of the info. Admittedly, there is a ton of pretty intricate info to be obtained from them and I really have only seen the tip of the iceberg -- but I do know there is an iceberg beneath what I have seen.

I was going to suggest the exact same two that Mr. Mann did. But if you using one as a freebie then just cut Melonade.

I would like to try some Ahlusion liquid, and was hoping some of you could help me pick a couple. I primarily vape tobacco flavors. Thank you.

Personally my favorite tobacco is Smooth Criminal.
