Seeing a wierd string of people suddenly saying Ahlusion is almost refusing them business because they use cartos and tanks. Just for the record, in my initial email to them before my first order I told them that I used a vivi nova most of the time but occasional 1.5 dual carto tanks. They responded by saying that I should stick to 30/70 vg/pg blend if I still planned on using my carto tanks. Didn't turn me away or anything. Just suggested what would be best for each setup.

Just saw previous few posts...glad that I'm not alone in thinking something funny may be going on around the forum tonight

Yeah, weird. Anyway.

Good News : Bad News

Good news is my second order was delivered today and my little lovelies are all nestled in the Steeping Drawer. Yeah, Steeping Drawer. Who really needs 2 drawers in a night stand for Pete's sake??

Bad news is that I have LOST my Melon Berry Frost! Yes, LOST IT! I know right? I'm pretty much devastated. I had it with me all day, and on the drive home I snuck in a few more drops (at a red light ok?) and then slipped it back into my little goody bag. I didn't zip it, but I know I put it in there. So I get home, put the little bag into the bigger bag, come inside, take it out, everything flies out. I can't find the MBF. Not in the little bag, big bag, floor, car or path from the car. I'll have to check under the seats when there's better light. I suppose it would be in really bad taste to ask for your prayers ....

I don't want to belabor this and I really hope everyone recognizes the smell, but isn't it curious (besides all the other points of sticky similarities) that both posters sought "advice" and after receiving said advice, didn't make another post?! Poof and they're gone, but the smell of supposed issues with the vendor lingers. I propose we all grab a bottle of Ahlusion and breathe in deeply.

OMG! I lost a bottle of 30 mL Smooth Criminal! I put it somewhere to steep but I have no idea where. D'OH!

On the bright side, I was taking a walk in Phoenix tonight and I found a bottle of melon berry frost. This stuff is delicious!

Seriously though, hopefully it'll turn up in some random place that you didn't think to look...even more steeped therefore even more tasty.

That was not funny. Not funny. Not.

Not one bit.

My heart does go out to you because I did something similar, though I think what I did was just plain ol' goofy! I like to steep some bottles long term and so I try and hide them from myself so I forget about them and am not tempted. Well, I did too good of a job with my SC!

p.s. That is a gorgeous dog!

In the "Good news, Bad news" department...

My best customer is the largest Ethanol producer in America. The plants have now officially gone totally smoke free. No smoking anywhere on site. So I'm standing in the control room talking to the Ops manager Monday when a plant operator pulls out a Bolt and draws a big ole Vape. I almost fell to the floor. ...?! Oh yeah, they've decided that since it isn't an open flame, free to go RIGHT IN THE PLANT! How VERY modern and forward thinking of them, but this company is the best of the best and I'm really not surprised. Amazing leadership. Well, my employees thought my e-cigs were kinda cool up till now, but suddenly I have 40 guys on site WISHING they had one!

Boy, have I enjoyed this project, vaping away while I work. And now EVERY employee that smokes wants one, for obvious reason. So I have a new program. I will supply any employee with a kit at cost, and free juice while on a project. They're signing up in droves. The savings to me is astronomical. I no longer have the downtime of employees driving a company vehicle off site just to smoke, or wasting their protective garments (PPE), and the time savings! They can just vape right there in the plant while working. Oh happy day!

Downside? Well, the plant employees are devouring my ahlusion juices. They love them, and who am I to say no to a customer? But I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, going through my packed juices like there is no tomorrow, and AHLUSION IS STILL CLOSED!!! HELP!! I need a Fedex shipment FAST! Then I find out a new plant in Nebraska wants us there Monday, so no time to get back to Michigan and reload.

I'm REALLY happy that Ahlusion is opening their Swartz Creek Cafe, but this closed thing is killing me. Fortunately I have a 60ml of AIV coming but I need to start placing some volume orders for my crew (and hardware too) and I hope they get back online soon. From a health perspective, I'm very excited by this turn of events. I have the opportunity to convert a few dozen hardcore analog smokers but I like to provide the best for my excellent crews, and dammit, I want Ahlusion juice. Hey Wlad and Alley, can we work out some volume discounts?!

Good morning and happy Thursday! It's seems while the monkey is away, the miceys will play.

Ahlusion...for the love of all that is holy...open up. I have run out of Pink Label juice. This IS an emergency!!!


On the bright side..

Strawberry Cream 24mg 50/50vg/pg...fresh sweet strawberries mixed into a delicious, creamy warm strawberry like pudding. Fantastic flavor. A little heavier than what I was expecting, but fantastic and full of flavor. Great vapor production and a pleasant yet well placed kick with the TH. The strawberry flavor in this juice is not the same as what I had in SVC, so I am very pleased to know from firsthand experience that they do use more than just one strawberry flavoring in their juices. It kind of reminds me of glazed strawberries that you mix in to make a good fresh strawberry frosting. A very impressive vape that combines the flavor of actual strawberries and a pudding like cream. I almost hate to exhale..but swallowing is not recommended.

Ok..have a great day everyone!

Ok, since I love Sleighride so much, and I had to go with 50vg/50pg since that's the lowest vg% they offer on that one, a slight amendment:

Mann 12+ mg
Tez primarily 12 mg 30vg/70pg (other ratios fine too)
Eleanor 12 -18 mg 30vg/70pg
Cinnamonkey 24mg 50/50
Biziou 18 mg, 30vg/70pg (possibly up to 50/50)
Moueix 18-24mg, 50/50, extra flavor.
Craftypepper 6mg (lol), 70% VG
LifeLongJoyRide 18mg, 30vg/70pg
asnski 6-12mg 40vg/60pg *sometimes* 50/50
Lauragal 12-18 mg 50/50 or 30vg/70pg
Apptiger 12-18mg 30vg/70pg (up to 50/50 on some fruits)
Newbie2ec 18mg 30vg/70pg - some 50/50 like above

(That's the last one I saw in a quick scan, hope I didn't miss an addition)

Tis interesting indeed, I didn't post since earlier either lol....I had other thoughts going through my mind at the time. Like maybe they were just getting too busy, or something of that nature. I had a very strange correspondence with Ahlusion once, I figured he just mixed me up with somebody else....all I asked in an email was when a flavor might become available again. At the time it showed unavailable for 2-3 months. Turns out he fixed it (site issue) but then wrote how people's tastes change and I may not like a flavor I did before, and their flavors weren't for everyone. I love their juice, I only had one I didn't like so far. It kind of left me scratching my head. I didn't reply because I just thought he got another email mixed with mine, I don't know...I only asked about that flavor and told them how much I loved cantal-berry ice and melon-berry frost. So I guess what I'm saying is my mind kinda went back to that email when reading the posts today. Sometimes things aren't what they seem yes, but I'm always willing to give the benefit of the doubt, and with my experience they aren't perfect, none of us are. :)

First off: I think you should post the entire exchange -- that is the only way to judge it accordingly. (Your email and response.)

For me to truly be able to comment on what was said by Ahlusion I would have to know what was said.

If the message was meant to keep you from heartache and wasted money, then I don't see how that could be construed as bad -- after all they are turning away money, which is not exactly what the average vendor would do.

I have talked to Wlad regarding this and though the response was not from him or Alley, his point of view is that he ( "he" meaning the business) would rather steer people toward what what they feel is optimally suited for specific set-ups, even if that means losing a sell. This is not a case of elitism or a club type of business -- these people are the epitome of friendliness and openness.

p.s. In the email from Ahlusion, was there a suggestion of a pg/vg ratio that may work for you?

Here is an excerpt from Ahlusion's FAQ:

"Hardware recommendations
While our e-liquids can be modified to work with just about any device setup, it helps to let us know beforehand about some of your preferences and hardware. Preferences include what kind of flavors you like, the strength of your flavors, and just about anything you would like to tell us in regards to those flavors. The more we know the better. For hardware preferences let us know what you primarily vape with such as your device, type of atomizer, cartomizer, tank etc, and the preferred resistance. In our humble opinion, our e-liquids taste better on a true 3.7v device coupled with a low resistance atomizer (1.5 - 1.8ohm), but again this does not mean that you have to vape with those specific settings. After all, it's all about your preferences and this information simply helps us to fine-tune our e-liquids to your preferences. Based on your preferences we may sometimes recommend another vendor; our flavors are definitely not for everyone."
please let me make this very clear that i am in NO WAY accusing them of conducting bad business or construed as bad..i am confused if i was turned away because of my setup or because i stated that i am having a hard time finding juices that i like.unfortunately i did not save the email.. i am relieved to see that others as well have been directed somewhere else...I may not agree how certain vendors conduct business however i do respect their decisions and just hope to learn from it
