Ahlusion

Thanks for the sentiment, and the tip! Yeah, today was definitely a maintenance day. I was washing atty's, drip tips, tanks.. just HOPING something would change.

The Blueberry Colada is a very nice vape. I'm learning blueberry will never be cherry or strawberry in terms of concentration, it is very subtle in anything I've had it in. But the Colada half of this mix totally rocks! Super rich and creamy coconut cream and big clouds of very soft vapor. That's at 50/50, ymmv but it's one of the rare juices that's still good and still tasty to the bottom of a vivi tank. Most get syrupy and lose their subtle flavors, but not the BC. It isn't my favorite but it's very close. Easy on the throat too, when you start getting sensitive to the citrics or strong teas.

Hey Moueix,

I have some Blueberry Vanilla Cake in the making as my free sample from Ahlusion. I will let you know how it turns out. There is something about a Blueberry bakery type vape that brings out the melody in my morning coffee. If it is anywhere near as good as SVC, my vaping stash will be complete. I'm really looking forward to it.

No problem! Hopefully this issue is shortlived.

And that blueberry colada sounds RIGHT up my alley!! Definitely going to give that one a shot. Do you usually go 50/50, or do you do 70/30 PG/VG at times too? I used to do mostly 70/30, just out of fear there won't be enough flavor, but I really love that extra vapor production from the 50/50. Seems like the Ahlusion juices I have tried so far at 50/50 aren't lacking flavor though....tempted to go that route for all of my juices next order

Anyone else have any thoughts on 50/50 & flavor strength from Ahlusion in comparison to most others?

I was doing the same by odering 70/30 because I was afraid of losing flavor. My last order I changed everything to 50/50 and the taste is still shining through.

Oooh, yeah. Please let me know what you think of that, it sounds fabulous.

Danielle, I did mostly PG until I tried the AIV juices which are mostly VG. Found that if I asked for a little extra flavor, I was skipping the TH that I don't really care for, and could tone down the flavor with a little more VG if "extra" was too much. Haven't missed out on flavor, and I don't miss all the TH.

Might not be anything my fellow Iowan

I go through this all the time, so does my wife. Some days I just cannot taste anything. One thing that seams to help is to drink a TON of water. I think I get dehydrated and it affects my taste.

Hope it passes soon!

Man, Tiramisu saved my life today. Don't know what the heck was going on but all of my juices tasted bland and kind of nasty. Black Tea was devoid of caramel and pear, Orange Nocturne was only a citric bite, Blueberry Colada just tasted like sweetened VG. Pretty much the same for my DIY's. Even all of my AIV juices just tasted like base or bite except the B&W Cookie, which was downright nasty. Finally worked my way across the board to the Tiramisu, and for some odd reason, that one tastes not quite normal but it's still good. WTH?

Did you notice anything like that before the cold set in Daniele? Wonder if something is coming on? I guess I remember that phenomenon some days with the cigs too, but thankfully, that's been awhile. Kinda scary though. It's like going back to black and white TV.

 

[daniele25]

Thanks guys - I might go back to 50/50 for my next order. With the few I have now, I don't notice much difference in flavor between the 70/30s and 50/50s, but definitely a difference in vapor...so probably worth the switch!

I went into a 7-11 and they had Blueberry coffee. It sounded pretty weird to me, and I'm generally not in favor of convenience store coffee, but me being me, I just had to try it. Holy bajeezus was it good! Totally caught me off guard! Coffee and blueberry is a magical combination!

Yeah, sounds to me like a bad flavor day. Those are completely frustrating and sometimes last for a couple of days. When I first quit smoking I would have them every couple of weeks or so -- nothing tasted right except maybe the strongest flavors. I still get them once in a great while, but it happens much less often now. Staying well-hydrated might be the key.

 

[daniele25]

Blueberry coffee?? Whaaaatt?? I have NEVER heard of such a thing...and the fact that it was good on top of it? I am very intrigued now....

May I ask what convenience store? One we have down here in the desert by chance? I gotta try this stuff, it sounds so weird!! lol

DUH...nevermind, you said it was a 7-11. Well I know where I am going tomorrow....LOL

 

[LisaL]

Do you use a Keurig? Green Mountain makes a "Wild Mountain Blueberry" k-cup that is very good. I was repulsed when I got it in a sample pack but desperate times ... and wow

 

[KimberlyM]

don't even scratch the surface of what they are putting out

I started to make a juvenile comment about Wlad putting out - but I am going to show, at least or me, an unusual amount of restraint because, even though I would be kidding, I don't want to offend anybody.

 

[LisaL]

I go through Ahlusion way too fast. I've noticed that over the last few weeks my juice consumption has almost doubled. It's great that I'm enjoying the flavors more than the nic, but I think that I'm gonna have to start pacing myself.

Speaking of this - I have a packaging question. So far I've only ordered in the 10ml plastic bottles. I kind of hate them because I always have trouble finding the "soft spot".

This is in no way connected with my propensity to try to refill at red lights.

Anyway. It also seems that most if not all of these plastic bottles are defective. They all seem to leak horribly all though weirdly enough they don't leave puddles but somehow seem to cause an evaporative leak so that when you go to pick up the bottle there's much less liquid that you'd expected to find. Weird.

Anyway. I understand that the larger bottles are glass. Do they have eye dropper type lids? How do you transfer the liquid? Do these have the same "leaking problem"?

I know, crazy right?! I could hardly believe it myself! I don't think all 7-11s have it -- I've only seen it at one in Pasadena. Might be worth inquiring with your local 7-11 manager and/or dejected dude working behind the counter.

I don't have much experience with the Keurig, but I will definitely keep a look out for it next time I'm near one!

BTW, I liked Boba Tea before, but with an extra week's worth of steeping... magnifico!

I am soooooooo trying this. Thanks Lisa!! I love my Keurig! My day isn't complete unless I have a cup of Vanilla Biscotti or Caramel Drizzle. Wild Mountain Blueberry...heck maybe it's not a vape that I am missing, but the coffee itself. Yum!

I haven't had any troubles with leaking when I am transferring my 10ml's into my squeezy bottles for my mod. They actually work better than other bottles I have used and seem more durable. On the Ahlusion website, there was a posting about them under the "stories" section, and how you just use that giant "A" for your squeeze point (that's where I put my thumb) and just "let 'er rip". If I am not mistaken..well hang on and I will find the posting....

"As of July 15th, we have been using our larger 10 ml (12 ml net) bottles for our smaller e-liquid quantities. The reason is two fold: 1, these bottles hold more, 2, for safety concerns.

On testing other "softer" bottles in the 10 ml range, we've found traces of chemicals (BPA) we did not want to pass on! For that reason, we're getting rid of all LDPE ("natural") plastic bottles. Many consumers are not aware that all plastic bottles are not equal; we frequently test new batches and all types of bottles before putting them into production. On a side note, we've found most traces of other unwanted chemicals in the "softer", "natural" LDPE plastics.

The new clear food safe PET bottles are for some less convenient due to their rigidity, but we feel that we should uphold our standards for product safety over convenience.

We are currently researching a completely new bottle design that should fit the bill for both product safety and usability. These newer bottles are supposed to replace the new clear 10 ml PET bottles now in use.

Tip: We are aware that these bottles are "harder" to dispense liquids out of; try pressing on the big blue "A"." (directly from Ahlusion's website).



Hope this helps.

AAAACK! You just went to all that trouble and I was just being a smart a.s.s about using up all my delicious juice too quickly! Sorry, I'm a .....!

My REAL question is about the 30ml bottles and how you get the juice into smaller bottles for totin' around.

 

[LisaL]

Also it seems that More-on is a bad word. Doh.

By God, it works! Man, they've thought of everything! Thanks for passing that along, Cinnamonkey! I hadn't seen that on the website.

OMG!! Priceless! Sorry, Lisa, I'm functioning on a few hours sleep and minimal brain power over here so I just didn't catch it until you mentioned it. Too funny!!!

I won't know how the 30ml's work until my latest order comes home to mama. My first order was all 10ml's, which I am seriously kicking my own .... over because I miss Pink Label Juice and SVC like a high school kid moping over her first breakup with her boyfriend. I'm a saaaaad puppy.

On the bright side...I got that email that Mr. Mann was talking about. 15% off on my next order...means more Pink Label at a DISCOUNT!!

So glad you've found your one(two) true love(s) in SVC and PL! I'm probably going to stay with the 10mls for my next order (got my mail tonight too - wooohooo!) because I still want to try ALL THE FLAVORS! I'm especially excited to try the Zombie one but I'm gonna throw in a SVC in case I need to ask a favor from you sometime LOL

30's come in glass bottles. They come with hard lids and a dropper lid on the side. I fill my nova with the dropper but usually end up tranferring some liquid to a.smaller plastic bottle to take on the go
