Thanks for the reply. Mr. Mann had us all feeling unloved:)

CORRECTION

Been away all day, so sorry I hadn't seen this. I should have never written $100 was the "mark" cause I clearly have no idea what that mark exactly is. I ordered so much, I was just taking a wild stab at it. However, the rates will drop at some point and if yours have not, just send the man a quick message alerting him to it.

p.s. Mine didn't drop after buying $100 cumulatively, but after I placed my (I believe) 3rd order which was that amount. I had made it up in my head that $100 was the magic number, but I was conflating one order with the totality that I had previously ordered. Sorry about relaying incorrect information.

Ok..my order is in!

Canyon Sun (request to go heavy on the cranberry)
SleighRide
Stardust (no Breeze)
Chocolate cream (no sweetener)

The sample I requested was based on an email with Wlad to help me find a good chocolate. I sent a description of what I am looking for and I will let them surprise me. I still got the chocolate cream, as Tez and I are both intrigued by that one and we are supposed to go over it's merits together. I think he is pretty well ahead of me with the steeping though.:facepalm:

Well ahead indeed, Cinnamonkey! I haven't cracked into it yet, but I'm not sure how much longer I can resist! :) When you say you got it without sweetener, does that mean you ordered it straight, or did you special-request Wlad to leave something out? Basically I'm wondering if we ordered the exact same thing here or not (aside from nic level -- mine's 12).

On the customization, I made sure it said "no sweetener" on the sweetener question. I did it at my trademark 50/50 24mg.:) No email to Wlad was necessary. The juice comes with an option to sweeten..and I really don't want a super sweet chocolate juice.

I got the same PG/VG and I believe I also got "no sweetener," as I already consider myself sweet enough in my natural state.

Decided not to wait (my daughter has stolen all of my patience for the day :)) and ordered Mimosa (stronger champagne), Caramel Coffee, Pralines & Cream (pecans only), and requested some Blueberry Vanilla Cake as my sample. I don't drink anymore and I seriously miss champagne, so I'm pretty excited about the Mimosa :D

I got my big bottle of CPBT, i went with the regular Mimosa with stronger champage. Once i read it was passionfruit, I didn't want to pass that up and try peach or another one of my own creations just yet, and Sweet Surrender. After I get a taste for this champagne....I have a feeling the creative "juices" will be flying! :)

Happy Friday all!

I just have to report my first taste.. My flavors have been steeping only since 10/18, but I figured I better try something so I tried the Tiramisu.

Yum! The flavor is light, but delicious!

The others I have yet to try are Sleighride, Car-Mal Mambo and Cranberry Autumn. I am most interested to try Cranberry Autumn, not sure why I didnt try that first... just waiting a bit longer I guess.

:vapor:

The Land of Confusion
Whew.... Got our order in too. Here is what we are trying this time:
Vecchio (strong tobacco)
Pink Label
Sweet Chill
Strawberry Coloda
Sweet Surrender
CPBT
SVC (extra strawberries)

AND, because I LOVE the Cherry House Blend SO much (it may be my favorite flavor) I decided to ask for the MI Cherry Tea as my sample.

Now the waiting begins.......:(

For some reason I am really interested in the Sweet Cherry Something....I'm not a huge cherry person, but something about that one is drawing me in. Anyone try it?

And man..it is a good day!! Got my order in, got my 15% coupon, and my Boba Tea w Honeydew has had enough steep time for me to be in heaven once again! I haven't tried it until today...i think it will come together more, but I'm still in love. Oh....and uhm, its Friday!!

Oh...and I ordered my first RBA....that could go either way though. I am terrible at "tinkering" with things. lol

Ok guys..I have a confession to make.

I don't know what champagne tastes like. :oops:

I have bought it for people as presents, I have seen it at parties. I have sold it by the cases (my second job was at a liquor store when I graduated from high school). I have never actually tasted it.

I have tried various wines, beers, and the occasional margarita. I think I might have one of one or the other once a year or so. I am not really a huge fan of alcohol itself. So lets be honest here..after everything I just told you...do you really think Mimosa would be a liquid I should try (somebody said strawberries..so inquiring strawberry lover wants to know.)?

Oh boy... Let's see, have you ever tried white wine? I know some wine connoisseur will give me hell for this, but the closest thing I could relate champagne to is white wine, but with fizzies. I can't really think of anything non-alcoholic that I could relate champagne to. Don't get me wrong -- I'm no fancy lad, but I've had champagne with strawberries before, and it's pretty good that way. They both seem to bring out nice flavors in the other.

Mr.Mann might be best suited to answer this one since he has actually tried the juice...so I can't make the comparison the juice itself. I have never vaped any other champagne juices, although have been very interested. Champagnes vary greatly...the biggest, most common aspect is obviously the "bubbly-ness", and based on Mr.Manns comments thus far, it seems as though it somehow does transfer over in some way to the vape experience. (i assume similar to some soda or other carbonated beverage vapes...where sometimes you can actually feel/taste the bubbles somehow). Some champagnes are very sweet, others are more dry. I can't speak to what side of the spectrum this juice leans toward....but here is my best approach to explaining or comparing to something else. First, have you ever had Sparkling Cider? If not...I'd think of mixing a juice, say cranberry with some club soda/seltzer water (which I love btw), or even orange juice, any juice really. so there is that aspect of the juice being diluted a bit, a lot of bubbles added, but instead of that addition being flavorless..it adds a touch of dry sweetness, if that makes any sense at all. Strawberries and champagne are a VERY popular combination....a lot of times people eat strawberries with champagne, as it is said they bring out the flavor in the champagne. I immediately thought of you for strawberries or cranberries when thinking up the different champagne concoctions we could come up with. Cranberry juice and champagne is also another popular "brunch" or "breakfast" cocktail, kind of like a traditional mimosa, but with cranberry juice instead of OJ.

Let's see what Mr.Mann says about the taste of the champagne in this juice in particular....but I think with strawberries or even cranberries, since you love those too, it might be a real nice juice for you. You can even do the stronger fruit option, as opposed to stronger champagne. Might be at least worth getting as a sample to check out. If you think you'd like some bubbly, refreshing strawberry or cranberry yumminess...it might be right up your alley,

I don't know if that helps at all...or is just more confusing..but it was the best way I could think of how to put my thoughts into actual words. :)

Oh..and Tez...to answer your question, I decided to go with the Phoenix Bully to start out.

I think you did a great job Daniele. Thank you so much for making a clearer picture. I have done the seltzer water with Cranberry juice and it's very good. I think I have had sparkling grape juice before, though I don't remember having sparkling cider. Hmm...maybe Mimosa cocktail could be something for me after all.

No problem! If the sparkling grape juice is what I think it is..that is probably a pretty close comparison...especially if this is a sweeter champagne. I'd say maybe try for the stronger fruit option the first time around...or just don't do stronger anything, and it might be a nice balance.

And yes, I LOVE me some cranberry juice and seltzer water on a hot day...SO refreshing!!

Please do report back with your experiences when you get it. I'm looking at a similar atty for dripping. When I got my mesh and coil just right in my new genny, it was like a flavor explosion. Vapor was literally coming out of my ears. "Oh hello juice, nice to finally meet you."

Evening all!

I was hoping my last order would make it here before I left on vacation, and unfortunately that's not gonna happen. BUT... that means I'll have Ahlusion vapemail waiting on me when I get home, and I don't know if that's not even better!

Let the Ahlusion website stalking begin! It's order day! And oh, how I have inadvertantly started a terrible, yet awesome trend for myself. My last 3 orders were placed on payday, or a day after my payday. Well based on how my pay cycle is, I end up getting the 15% off coupon email on my next payday. LOL! I didn't really put 2 & 2 together last time...but now that its happened again, I realized this will be the pattern from here on out if I keep ordering on these days. How brutal is that?? Uhm...will there ever be a payday going forward where I don't end up placing an order now? LOL. I will have too many excuse..."oh, its payday, you can spring for more juice"..."oh, with the 15% off, it would be silly not to..." You guys get my drift. LOL

If anyone notices they are open for business, please spread the word. I will be sure to do the same!
ha! I've done the same thing actually.

OMG..I never noticed this before! Check out the description of the Mimosa from Ahlusion's site:

"This is our take on a refreshing Mimosa - also one of the first releases of our "Organic" line which takes you away to Mexico's Riviera Maya. Tingling champagne bubbles with the fruity goodness of fresh passionfruit juice and a twist of lime wakes you up to start your day."

Biz - how funny...since you just mentioned your passionfruit mimosa last night...this juice might be a winner for you!
That's funny, I'd not actuallyread the description for the Mimosa before. Now I'm seriously tempted. Passion fruit mimosas are the shizzle.

You guys are pretty evil. I'll think I have my wishlist all set up for the next couple of orders, then one of you gets excited about a juice and talks it up, and suddenly I'm all OMG MUST TRY NAOW

I want to get my second order in too, but waiting on some answers from my first order feedback. Definitely getting the mimosa and caramel coffee, but can't decide between pineapple cream, pralines and cream, and chocolate cream. I also really want to try pink label, but I've heard a few people here mention coconut in it and coconut is the bane of my existence, so I'm not sure! Anyone have any favorites over others from the few I mentioned?
I think possibly coconut milk, because I get a slight hit of coconut, and that lovely milky aftertaste that Boba Tea has. HOWEVER. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else say that, and in all probability I'm 100% wrong. I think everyone who enjoys a fruity vape should try this, it really is spectacular. Even if there is indeed coconut, it's not a front-seat player.

Oh..and Tez...to answer your question, I decided to go with the Phoenix Bully to start out.

Mr.Mann says, read what D25 wrote. I thought about this question and upon reading D25s answer, I found everything I was going to say.

I was going to say something along the lines of a tart sparkling cider without the cider-ness. In a nutshell, the difference between champagne and sparkling wine is region. Technically speaking, champagne is a sparkling wine that solely comes from a certain region of France. A champagne that comes from any other region is called sparkling wine. ;)

p.s. I could't do the Eleanor blue quote for the parts of your message that I wanted to reference because I would've had your entire quote in blue.

The stronger champagne option gives you exactly what it says. I don't get much of any fruits added, but I was more interested (this time) in seeing how well Wlad worked with the champagne itself. The champagne is a tad dry, tart and ever so slightly sweet. And yes, there is an effervescence to the juice. The champagne jumps out of the bottle after a week and a half + beyond -- it won't mellow out, but intensify.

Cinna... go out and buy a carton of passionfruit juice, (or a frozen can of concentrate) and a bottle of Brut champagne... the cheap stuff is fine. Stick em both in the fridge overnight. Fill a champagne flute (or whatever) half full of champagne, then top off with the juice. I'm really not much of an alcohol drinker, but they're so good! I always have to fix them with Sunday brunch.
