I'm on me 'orse, and got me spear in 'and. say the word! :D

Oooh, how very Anglo Saxon of you! :) I like it! I had envisioned going over as an angry mob with torches and pitchforks a la Frankenstein, or perhaps like the Sharks and the Jets from West Side Story, snapping our fingers in a menacing fashion, but of course I'm open to suggestions. 'Orses and spears it is!

Exhausted this weekend. (What else is new? :laugh:)

Still steeping: Smooth Criminal, Vecchio Blend, Serious Cider, Bobas w/ Coconut, and re-orders of Ginger Apple Tea and Caramel Pear Black Tea. Oh, and a sample of "limed-up" Melonade Wlad sent me. :)

Now vaping: my last bottle of DV Vanilla tobacco (losing some of its luster for me :(), Cranberry Autumn, and Mystic Spice Tea.

Going gaga over: Gollum! (HHV's latest twist on Gandalf: it's got plum, raisin and honey notes! :thumbs:) Also still enthralled with Gandalf when it's snifter time. :D (I know you have issues, but . . . )

Next orders: More Gollum, and a SLEW of Ahlusion juices no doubt including some more re-orders.

You and I seem to be two peas in a pod! Ahlusion and HHV are battling for my attention (Gollum is my morning vape with coffee, and Gandalf and all of my Ahlusion teas are fighting for my attention the rest of the day). Can you puhleeeease let me know how you like Pear Black Tea, Smooth Criminal, and Vecchio Blend since we seem to have similar tastes?

It's not too late -- let's get 'em! Point the way New Kid! Eleanor, are you in?



I had almost the exact same thing happen on the first order I placed with them. I got the ratios backwards because they list them VG/PG on the drop-down menus. Wlad got back to me in maybe 10 minutes (trying not to be jealous of your special treatment here, Apptiger :)) and corrected the problem on my order. I was impressed to say the least, and that's pretty much the moment they won me over. Without fail, I screw up some small detail on any given order. I've quit ordering from vendors altogether who have conveniently waited until after the order has shipped to respond to me when I've accidentally over-ordered and then said "sorry, we accept returns." Sheesh, even if I didn't like Ahlusion's juice I'd probably still find excuses to order from them. I don't think this country has seen customer service like that since the 1950s.

Those drop down menus have gotten me too. Twice now, excluding this time. Once with zero nic and once with all VG. Both times because when I looked at my cart it just had too much stuff in it. So I put some back on the shelf, then changed my mind and added it back. Only I forget to reconfigure it when I add it back. Let it ride then just to try all VG and zero nic. Not ready for either.
I just need to build and use the wishlist tool they have. Think it might prevent some of that.

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone! I am taking my Pink Label Juice to the office today. I have decided that THIS juice is THE juice. It will be on next order...and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next...well, you get the idea.

Strawberry shortcake was smelling super good this morning, but today I am all about the PINK!!!

Man, don't you know that the way to get to 5 is to have sampled 50? ;) Trust me, I would have rather come across my 3 favorites A LOT earlier on! Actually, I don't even know if I have 3 technically -- it's really just 2 nowadays.

Still fairly new and I found something early that worked. It is still the only thing my wife will vape. Tried about 20 different flavors from three vendors. Only five keepers so far. Ahlusion is batting .500, the others have had maybe one hit each.
Guess I got lucky too with my first vendor and now thanks to you with Ahlusion. I want both to succeed so ordering is limited to those. I'm sure there are other worthy vendors out there but limited money and limited time. Also a little selfish, I want these to be around so I can keep getting great service and great products.
Thanks again to you and this community. Nice to have the resources, feedback and support. I never thought getting off the stinkys was possible. After a combined 75 years, my wife and I are both stinky free.

That is a huge vote of confidence coming from you, StrawberryMonk, err, Cinnnamonkey. ;)

Sometimes I forget where so many of us were before all of this. It helps to stop for a second and remember the alternative -- and you and your wife spent a long time with that alternative! Congrats, and I hope you and your wife continue having as much success with this as you all possibly can.

I haven't heard or read the word "fanboy" in awhile. :laugh:





I definitely think there will be something for you! Ahlusion doesn't have any straight vanilla flavored juices, but I will let you know how Strawberry Vanilla Cake is very soon.

Maybe you could try Orange Nocturne: "Enjoy an authentic, rich Cocoa flavor with Caramelized Orange flavors ..."

I was going to suggest the same, Orange Nocturne. I have never had it but have heard good things about it. Definitely try the Strawberry Vanilla Cake! It is wonderful and there is no other way to describe other than the name itself!

Man, don't you know that the way to get to 5 is to have sampled 50? ;) Trust me, I would have rather come across my 3 favorites A LOT earlier on! Actually, I don't even know if I have 3 technically -- it's really just 2 nowadays.

Just curious as to what your other favorite is? I read everything you say about juices with great care! So I am curious as to who else I should possibly try?

Tried my peach river tree blend today and I really like it. Taste like something I've had from BWB but with some sweetness added. It's a lot smoother too. You can just tell this stuff high quality. Can't wait to try some more.

I love all of the River Tree Blends. I have not had the Cool River Tree Blend and probably won't as I am not a mint or menthol person really. If you like the Peach River though, consider the Peach Criminal or any of the other River Trees. My favorite two are Peach River and Maple River.

I, too, got a bottle of Serious Cider delivered on Wednesday. This followed 48 hours with the caps off and today was steep day 4. I tried a smidge of it, like a third of a ml and I tasted......nothing. No taste whatsoever. Well, maybe the sensation of a mild sweetness on the inhale. That is it.

Edited to add: 10ml bottle, 18 mg, 50/50 (recommended by Wlad) in a lo res clearomizer with an 1100 eGo. The twist is being delivered tomorrow.

I recommend letting it sit for a little bit longer. I put some in my tank and liked it but wasn't sure I felt it was really cider(ish) so I let what was in my tank sit over night, lesser amount getting air. Tasted it the next day again and it made a huge difference.

You and I seem to be two peas in a pod! Ahlusion and HHV are battling for my attention (Gollum is my morning vape with coffee, and Gandalf and all of my Ahlusion teas are fighting for my attention the rest of the day). Can you puhleeeease let me know how you like Pear Black Tea, Smooth Criminal, and Vecchio Blend since we seem to have similar tastes?

I know you didn't ask me but I just wanted to give my two cents as well! Smooth Criminal is my favorite tobacco. It is just what it says, very smooth. It is in no way over or under powering. It is perfect. Vecchio Blend to me was like a vanilla(ed) Smooth Criminal. It is light with a hint of vanilla, the vanilla is subtle nothing that overwhelms the tobacco part of the juice. Caramel Pear Black Tea is one of my favorites. The caramel and pear are both subtle but you can definitely taste them. If you get this, make sure it steeps, I did not like it when I did my taste before steeping. But after a good week or so it was great and got better everyday!

Do any of you guys know if Ahlusion is open today. I need some juice by this weekend and the store is still closed. According to thier hours they should have already opened.
Thanks
I think they are actually closed all this week because they are moving to their new storefront.

Moving Time!

Just curious as to what your other favorite is? I read everything you say about juices with great care! So I am curious as to who else I should possibly try?

That is a tough one to answer. I am still learning to appreciate non-tobaccos as much as tobaccos, but Ahlusion is the first vendor that I have had this much confidence in both those arenas. Some may find what I am about to say controversial, but here it goes: Any vendor that sells, teas, fruits, drinks, desserts or anything outside of the tobacco range are never going to be as good as what it tries to replicate, or somehow worlds better than other vendors unless all of these 5 things are possible with the juice 1) The flavors are clean, pure, true: no awkward chemical flavoring or adolescent like impersonations 2) The flavors aren't over the top in-your-face so much so that all it tastes like is flavoring and not the object/subject that it is supposed to represent 3) There is clarity, depth, and subtlety that allows for introspection and not just opaque, boring one note sambas 4) pg/vg customization 5) Lastly, the ability for customer's to have their own flavor profiles adjusted to their own liking e.g. hold the mint, boost the spice, quiet the sweet.

Ahlusion juices have all of those qualities and no other vendor that I have tried manages to come through on all 5 of those points with their non-tobacco juices. Okay sure, some vendors have their specialties like NLV with Gold or Bounty Hunter, Ave with Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice, MsT's Snickerdoodle, but I think vendors specialty items are different and rarely if ever can you find a vendor where any choice, from any category could be construed as their specialty.

So, what is my favorite from Ahlusion? I actually don't have one. Generally, a favorite juice from a vendor (for me) speaks less to how much I like that particular flavor and how little I liked the rest (unless we are talking tobacco). With Ahlusion, it really just depends on my mood. I intend to continue trying as many of these juices as I can and enjoying the journey -- it's more of a tour, than an actual destination.

:D I was just kidding around.

I started out at 18mg 4 months ago. However, I found I am into the flavors more than the nicotine. I'm still at 6mg mostly for some TH.

Honestly, it feels quite liberating!

Not at all NK! I'm between 18, 24 and 36 right now and believe me, I envy you. One day I hope to be at 6mg myself. I am using 100% VG when possible as I'm sensitive to PG. I am lucky though i CAN use the latter if I stay with 100% VG when that option is available, if that makes sense.

Fair enough. :) I have only had one juice (other than the prefilled tips from the first ecig I had years ago) from another vendor. It wasn't a bad juice in anyway just wasn't what I was used to with Ahlusion. Thanks for your detailed response though!!

Moving Time!

"We’re normally open all the time unless we’re running the chance of getting behind. We’re just now catching up from this weekend and the sale, so we should be back up and running later tomorrow or Tuesday. Also, this week is moving week so we might only be running half days so we don’t get too backed up! I don’t like to keep the site running and accepting orders except for maybe on special sales etc because I don’t want folks to have to wait longer!

Our normal shipping time is 48 hours on business days (weekends not included); I’d like to keep it that way."

An email from the man.

Like anything else worthwhile in life - it is not the destination but the journey that matters. And often there is no true destination.

Seriously, this is just the shiz...If you like tobacco, if you like coffee, you should try this. I ordered the Light Roast no sweetener. I can only imagine it will get better with proper steeping, and if it gets better, (hard to imagine with how good it is already), this will probably become my #1 liquid.
