I gotta say, I feel like a red-headed step-child. I've been reading this thread for weeks, I've ordered from Ahlusion 3 times getting no less than 13 bottles of juice, and as of today there isn't a single flavor I care to vape:( My oldest bottles are 3 1/2 weeks old and the 'youngest' are just over 2 weeks old. Everyone is delightedly vaping their Ahlusion juices except me. (Do I sound like a whiny baby, cuz I FEEL like a whiny baby;)

Maybe it's my vaping system, vivi, mini vivi and stardust tanks on eGo batteries. I did email Wlad about the vaping system I used and he said my choices would be fine for that kind of system.

Every last bottle (well i haven't tried Rick's Request yet) tastes mostly like jalapeno pepper and harsh as heck. I'm so disappointed in the juices, and my experience seems to be an outlier from most people's experience with these products. I'm really bummed because the customer service from Ahlusion has been the bomb.

I'm going to give them my feedback because they appear to genuinely want to get my opinions, but i don't think i'll be using the 15% off coupon.

I'm going to put all my bottles away and ignore them for a while, and give them a try later. There just must be something wrong with my taster, but I've been very happy with Backwoods Brew juices and Highbrow. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? Waaaaaaa!

Poor baby :( That's gotta be maddening! I wish I had some good advice for you.

Anyone else kickin' around a dream juice idea?

My favorite type of tea is Hoji-cha, which is a toasted green tea that has a nice smokey flavor. I haven't seen anything like that in vape form, but I bet it would make a great juice!



Can one of you techno-wizards add the smoke-free days counter in one of those banners?? I like the clear one with the blue Ahlusion logo if I have druthers.

Maybe one of us should run this idea by Wlad and Alley next time they place an order or send an email. It's a great way to advertise and it helps people stay off cigs. I bet they'd be down with it.

Boy, that's a bummer that the juices aren't agreeing with you. :( I've been using a Vivi on some of their juices and haven't experienced anything of the sort, so I wouldn't imagine it's equipment-related. That being said, you may want to check the resistance on your Vivi, as it does change with use. I had a similar situation just the other day. I was using a 1.5 ohm atomizer that I had used for a while and was getting horrible burning hits and wasn't sure why. I finally measured the resistance, and it had crept all the way down to 1.2 ohms! That explained that.

Another possibility: I wouldn't couch this in terms of something being "wrong with you" (because really, what human doesn't have at least one or two issues that aren't considered "normal" by medical standards), but I'm wondering if it may be a mild allergic reaction. I would email Wlad and ask if there might be a common ingredient in all of the juices that you ordered that might not be used regularly by other companies, and if you're interested in reordering, it might be possible to get juices in the future without that ingredient due to their flavor profiling system.

I have always wanted an E-liquid flavored like an alfajor, an Argentine pastry I used to love.

Imagine a sandwich of two cookies filled with dulce de leche, then covered in chocolate, meringue or powdered sugar. They are absolute sweet bombs and even as a kid I could never eat more than one.

Howdy folks! I've been stalking this thread for a bit and made it to page 36 before I decided to pop in and say hi.

I've been slowly working my way through the Ahlusion menu, and I love almost all that I've tried so far.

So far, my favorites are Van Mango and Sweet Surrender, but I've also tried:

Car-mal Mambo
Ginger Orange Oolong
Mango Colada
Maple Dreams
Peaches and Cream
Kiwi Sea (sweet)
Moonlight Serenade

And I'm plotting some new flavors since reading this thread.

Oh, and since we seem to also like dogs!

That's my little guy when he was very wee. :)

Hah! We really do keep ending up in the same threads. I have been ordering pretty much exclusively from Ahlusions since April. It would take too long to list everything I have tried (40+ different flavors). There have only been 5 or so that I did not like out of all of them and even those, I didn't actually hate. This is great stuff!

I will wait to pester you folks with puppy pictures. ;)

Puppy pictures are always welcome. Bert and Ernie avatar...priceless...did you do those carvings yourself? My kids would love that, alas..I am not that good with a knife. :(

Absolutely nothing is wrong with you. Take a deep breath and...exhale. :) I am going to agree with Tez on this because he said it perfectly. Email Wlad and Alley and see what options you have. The harshness might be something as simple as your nicotine option. I kid you not, I have been vaping 24mg for most of the time that I have been vaping, but when I got my first order from Ahlusion, my 24mg e liquid packed a punch and took a little getting used to. I almost considered going down to 18mg but after a few days I got used to it...and at 24mg I stay.

Don't give up just yet. Send them an email. Like you said, nobody knows their juice like they do. :) I really wish you all the best with this and hope everything works out.

That actually requires a back-end to work -- needs a site that the banner hits in the background to execute the code and generate the banner dynamically.

Edit: Can one of you techno-wizards add the smoke-free days counter in one of those banners?? I like the clear one with the blue Ahlusion logo if I have druthers.

THIS! I just went from 6mg to 12mg and it REALLY is packing a punch these first few days and feels more like 18mg or even what I'd imagine 24 to feel like...they have equipment that measure the nic levels to a T and therefore may feel stronger than other vendors that don't have that ability. It definitely takes some getting used to.

Also, to throw my :2c: in about the pg/vg ratios, I have never ordered less than 40% VG from any vendors, and usually I go for 50/50 or 70/30. With Ahlusion I have always been 70/30 VG/PG and gotta say that they have more flavor than the 50/50 and 70/30 blends I have tried from other vendors...by a landslide. I suspect that they maybe adjust the flavoring amount to suit the ratio you order.

I feel the same way. It tastes peppery and burns my throat. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but, it was the way I felt. I had asked what would be causing the juice to seem this way and I was ignored. But, anywoo, I emailed Wlad and he says he doesn't know why it would be harsh and peppery. But, it is and I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm gonna let them sit for along while and then revisit them.

I'm sorry to hear that! I've had similar experiences with other vendors that are very popular and I thought they were horrible...it's always a bit of a letdown. No 1 vendor is going to be perfect for everyone - important thing is finding what works for you.

My order from yesterday is now being prepared...fingers crossed that it gets here before I run out of Melon Berry and Cafe Au Lait.

Ooooh! How are you guys liking those HH .357's? I like my 650 Ego's (and a new twist from Ahlusion!) for dripping the cheap Ego attys and with Vivi's enough, but with all this killer juice I've been vaping, I was starting to feel like I've been drinking Dom Perignon from a Jelly Jar. I ordered a couple of those, a Caravela and an AC9 to see how much I've been missing. Going to be a long wait on those advanced mods but I'm looking forward to putting the .357's to work next week when some of these new Ahlusion juices are GTG. Are you getting more pure flavors from those Atty's?
i love love love my HH 357...just got it the other day...mine worked fine right from the get go...make sure you don't overfill...6 drops works for me...this has changed my whole vaping experience...my first order from ahlusion is now sitting at my post office..can't wait to get those lil caps off and let them steep...i don't even remember what flavors i ordered..so it will be a surprise for me....

I'm sorry that you didn't like your juice. I also felt bad that you were ignored , especially in light of your recent comment (that I took as a joke) so I looked back in the thread and saw that your post about the pepperiness had been responded to - you may have missed it because the thread moves pretty fast sometimes. I can't speak for everyone here but a non-response from me should never be assumed to be purposeful. It's just a non-response.
