Ahlusion

[Mr.Mann]

I technically always do. I NEVER do a cap off steep. I am clumsy when it comes to any liquid with no top. I usually shake and open it a few times here and there. That being said, the Melon-Berry Frost I received last Wednesday or Thursday and I am using it now. Loving it too I might add! I don't know when you received yours but it might be fine...

The cap-off is optional, but the steep doesn't really start until the top has been taken off (not the spout, but the outer most cap). The cap can go back on, that is not ultimately as important, but it must have air introduced into the bottle first for the steep to start. The bottles come to us after being capped and sealed in a very controlled air lab environment, so the steep only begins when you take that first whiff. (This is how Wlad explained it to me).

I would consider GJ4, Apple Cured tobacco, Shadowfax, Gollum, Dark Horse, Smooth Criminal, Vechhio, KB7, Lasttango (Prime vaping), Eden, VR's Tobaccos, and many others "easing into NETs." I would not consider Paris, London, Devil Dog, Blue Grass Burley, Patriot, Organic tobacco #1 or a few others, "easing into NETs" -- those are more like jumping into natural tobacco extracts. Of course you vape it, that is not what I am saying, I am saying there are levels to what some mixtures incorporate into the juice and if you are vaping a fruit/tobacco combo, or just a lighter dose of extract, I wouldn't necessarily say that is a full fledged, no-holds-barred NET -- though some may be in it.

I apologize for suggesting incorrectly, though my point (as I mentioned) was not directed at you or anyone in particular, just that I was realizing that I need to understand that most unadulterated tobaccos are not for everyone.

p.s. Steeping will not change those juices -- they are as awesome (to me) on day one as they are on day 30 (though it rarely lasts that long.)

interesting. i decided to go hit up some of the Blue Grass Burley after my first comment. it's actually pretty good. there's some beneath the surface undertone that i ain't digging about Devil Dog. i will say that both have a pretty strong kick TH-wise, even at 12 mg. full disclosure for me, my favorite current vape is NLV's Renegade. HHV's Dark Horse and Gandalf i'm loving after a month of steeping - out of the box way too much cocoa/chocolate for me.

If you want to avoid sweetness and other flavored notes, I would suggest W2V. Wlad will be the first to tell you that he is deeply inspired by what Donnley and Vapenstein are doing over there -- even though, I am more than happy with Ahlusion.

p.s. The element that you may dislike about the DD is probably from the Latakia leaves, and maybe the Perique (though it's just a little Perique in there).

It seems I've caught the Ahlusion bug a couple weeks too late. So I've got a wish list going and hopefully will be able to squeeze in at the right time tomorrow. Can't decide now if I should just go head-first and order 30 ml bottles or stay conservative with the 10 ml. Decisions, decisions...

i can TOTALLY imagine that 8-o

Hey Wonderland, welcome to the party!!! It's nice to see you over here! I definitely second Mann's recommendation to start with 10 ml's over the 30s. If you want to coordinate, I'll tell you what I've got so you can try them next time I see you (and you might even get to see my Ahlusion happy dance -- I'm thinking about putting a performance piece together ).

I have Devil Dog, Blue Grass Burley, Boba Tea (plain), Ginger Orange Oolong, and Jade Dew. I also have Ginger Apple Tea, Caramel Pear Black Tea, and Black Peach Tea, but they're steeping.

Has anyone cheated and vaped any of these juices before fully steeping?

Melon-berry frost (w/ breeze)
Melonade
Mojito Cubano
Caramel Pear Black Tea
Pink Label Juice
Serious Cider

Jut curious if anyone was as impatient as I am feeling, and tried these basically right out of the mail. If so, any good, and how did it compare to once they actually had some true steep time? (note, they arrived Saturday, just haven't been un-capped until earlier today)

I did cheat and tried Caramel Pear Black Tea after it arrived today. It tasted like cosmetics. I'm thinking it might need to steep a while!

Oh, and Mr. Mann, I got my email notification from Wlad and Alley to review the juices this evening. I think it's been maybe 10 days since the order arrived.

Oooo, I'm glad you have all those teas 'cause I'm curious. And I can't wait to see this happy dance!

I've tasted the melon-berry frost right out of the box my first time ordering. It was really good, but it only got better

I still claim its Scotch.

So...blue grass burley. I guess now I know what I've been missing. It is so different from any other tobacco juice I ever had, in a good way. I have it in 12mg and the TH is quite intense, even for me (love my TH) and that's only at 3.7v...I can only imagine what it's like at 4.2 (usual sweet spot for me). The flavor is clean but has that slight smokiness that I remember from analogs (though no ashy yucky nasty taste!!!) It actually has amazed me, I swear I even got a headrush but that could be all in my head

Its difficult for me to describe the flavor, it's just wow. Unfortunately, aside from Gandalf I haven't had any other NET's to compare it to. And it tastes nothing like Gandalf of course. Two thumbs up from me.

Note to self: Drink more Scotch!

Mini Ole! Review

So it doesn't smell like grape kool-aid and brandy anymore It basically smells like sangria. Tastes like sangria too. Fruity undertones with sweetish red wine right up front. A little coolness in there too - minty? Lemon-limey? Hard to say. Also hard to pick out the fruits. Surely that's citrus, but it -might- be fresh strawberry, you know the ones that have a little sour bite? A little acidity? Overall a very blended flavor, nothing really jumping out ahead of the other. Ahlusion is 2 for 2 for me now.

Something I found interesting though - I'm using an x2 battery with a tiny tanklet thingy - I don't really understand the whole voltage thing but allegedly that battery is regulated at 3.7 volts. Earlier today I left it on top of my laptop and it really heated up. The flavor really came alive, it was dancing in my mouth! Really wish I had something with VV to test out my theory but I suspect this would do really well at a higher voltage.

Solid thumbs up for Ole! 18mg 50/50

Nice review -- thanks! Sounds like a "must try." Maybe you should consider getting a Twist or something like that. It's pretty fun to play around with flavors at different voltages!

Ahlusion is open now.

"As many of you may know, we have been anticipating a partial move to our Cafe and store front, so for the first week of October we will be closed or at least running at half capacity. It will still be a couple of weeks before we actually open our doors to the public so please bear with us during this time.

Friday Oct 05:
- We are moving part of our equipment over so we can only take on a certain amount of orders if at all during this time. Orders placed on Friday 5th may be delayed until Wednesday 10th! Delays usually do not involve hardware or other non-eliquid orders placed separately."

Ahlusion is open today and as I stated last night, will probably stay open a little longer. I believe they are staying open to accommodate many requests to do so, but the orders will be delayed a few days.

Hi Daniele! Welcome back! I missed your awesome avatar and posts.

Pink Label Juice...it's meh..as a matter of a fact. You shouldn't vape it. Nope not at all. I will pm you my address and vape, I mean dispose...yes dispose of it proplerly for you.



~sigh~ Ok, Ok... I will tell the truth. (Getting struck by lightning isn't nice. )

Pink Label juice is my absolute most favorite juice ever. Wlad recommended it to me, and he was right...I love it. It's definitely a favorite..if not THE favorite (and after being without if for 24 hours or so..missing it the way I do..I am thinking "THE" is right).

I managed to let Pink Label steep for 48 hours give or take a few hours. I did a mini review on here about it earlier in the thread..but I didn't do it justice. The descripton on the website says "melange" and it means it. It's a very clean, delicously fruity berry/hint of melon vape/barest hint of cream(teensy even--it at first I thought it was a pleasant floral undernote--another 24 or so hours smoothed into a delicate cream). The candy taste I was getting also disappeared as I kept vaping. It's more of a big bowl of berries and some kind of melon..and you grab a hand full and shove them all into your mouth at once...and you get a Pink Label.

I hope this helps. I am really excited about Pink Label, because I have been searching for a juice like this for a very long time..and now, I am very happy that I did find it. I hope you like it too.

Bring on a little delay! I have weathered longer delays with other vendors and in some cases, that's just business as usual. I am so happy I got my order in!!! I was so excited I couldn't get my cc information on right and kept having to re-do it...come to find out..I put my name in the CC number spot and the CC number in the name spot. I am soooooo happy!!!

Speaking of happy...happy Friday all...and a happy Friday it is!!!

 

[Craftypepper]

Just got my order in as well...glad that I can now stop thinking about it. Hope everyone has a good day!

 

[Biziou]

60 ml of sleighride ordered! 60! Most I've ever ordered of one flavor at a time.

 

[Craftypepper]

And in other news I just bought a blemished Reo Grand.

At first I was like this:

But now it's more like this:

Most I've ever spent on vaping, but I think it will be a good investment. Beyond annoyed with all other delivery systems at this point. Looking forward to filling that baby up with some Ahlusion when it all arrives.

Congrats Crafty - that is a good investment! It's tough to go wrong with a bottom-feeder IMHO, especially one of such high quality. Soon you'll have one of the best devices available AND the best juice!

I just ordered a Saber Touch and it's also my biggest vaping purchase to date. I blame Ahlusion!

 

[wonderland]

Yay, I got an order in as well! Going to be hitting up the Honey Blues, Rick's Request, Strawberry Shortcake, and Zombie Repellant (to vape during The Walking Dead ) first. My wishlist is still very full...
