I was hoping to eventually have something good to say about it, but I've given it a daily shake-n-sniff and it still smells like paint thinner with a vague hint of hazelnut. I've fouled a couple of cartomizers and an atty testing it with hopes that the taste would be better than the aroma. No dice.

Awww, well. Can't win em all, I guess. Don't give up on it, though! I had a hazelnut from another vendor that was pretty vile, until I came back to it about 2 months later.

I haven't posted here before but I wanted to pop in. First off I want to publicly thank Wlad for getting my juice out during their move and mayhem around the shop. One of the things that helped get me through 6 days post Sandy without power and heat was my 60ml bottle of Sasparilla. I had a BAM with an IBTanked 25mmXL tank that was my rock through it all. Between the 8+ml juice capacity and the 26650 battery I was set for a few days without power between opportunity to charge up.

I thankfully am back home with heat and power. I also finally was able to dig through the rest of my order as I literally got the package on my way out during mandatory evacuation and had the Sasparilla but the rest stayed home.

My 2nd favorite Ahlusion flavor is currently the Pumpkin Spiced Latte, love this for the fall and it's taken a spot in my Z-Atty-Pro and will likely stay there for a while.

What blew my mind today is the Cherry House Blend. I had an Uncle that smoked a pipe and always had cherry tobacco that I have wonderful memories smelling. I briefly smoked a pipe with cherry tobacco myself and I love that flavor. This is a homerun! I typically vape dessert and beverage flavors. There are a very select few tobaccos that I like. So many tobaccos are overly sweet or herby / medicinal. Wlad has nailed this one. This is a masterfully blended tobacco with the perfect hint of natural cherry. Mild, complex, ever so slightly sweet, and in my opinion perfect!

TL/DR wait until they are taking orders again and try these juices. It's great to see someone not using the same old mass produced flavors, but rather crafting their own. These juices are unique and magical. W&A keep it up!

Huh, like when have I ever, like, read anything positive that you've, like, said about CPBT? :lol:

Eleanor, I RESPECT your taste so much that when I vaped this for the first time tonight all I could think of was you...and well, the juice, the reviews and of course Moeuix! The only reason I am even on the forum right now is because I had to come vape some more of this. Good grief this is my kinda juice! All the elements are so harmonious and delicate, yet it is easy to latch onto those elements individually and with great specificity. While the elements are delicate, that is not to say that this juice is faint at all -- it is very flavorful. The black tea solidifies the flavor and provides a platform for the caramel and pear do a dosado (do-si-do).

Am I chopped liver too??!?? Because of Eleanor's praise, I tried CPBT, and I've been saying its my favorite juice of all time....but even though its Eleanors's fault I tried it, and Mo's fault that you got your hands on some...aren't I still due some credit? Oh wait...probably not. lol

I have plenty of juice....call it hoarding, but am very anxious to try the tobacco flavors. I have found a couple of flavors from another vendor I like..but still haven't really found one that give me the 'awwwww' factor. I have high hopes based on the other Ahlusion juices I have.
We're another day closer to Wednesday:D

Dude, I know, right? I just got mine last week and couldnt believe how hefty this thing is.

I got the wrap on it. It looks really nice, my only gripe is that the skin for around the body is just a TAD too small and there is a line where I can still see the body of the provari. The skin on the extender cap is flawless though. Already contacted mods-skinz.com and they are gonna send me a new (wider) wrap for free. Great customer service on their end.

This is what it looks like (minus the flaw). Pretty sweet in my opinion :vapor:.

Juices are HERE!!!!!!

Here is a run down on on the low down...a la nostril...Cinnamonkey style. I am only doing the flavors I haven't tried. SleighRide is the essence of winter perfection..my only re-order this go round as the other faves have been holiding steady, so no need to order more. The SleighRide...damn, I should have ordered 30mls of this, because I do love the ever lovin' tater tot out of this juice. Best Mint EVER.

Ok..now on to my new flavors.

StarDust (no breeze, no sweetener, no fru-fru 50/50 24mg) There's blueberries in them there hills!!!! I detect something else though. I can't put my finger on it..but a strong and steady blueberry is right there...smells fantastic!

Chocolate Cream--Ok..I can't lie...it's taking everything in me to put this away and let it steep. Sweet mercy!!!! Finally, a chocolate juice that smells like I want to vape it!!!! It's got 48 hours and that's it. I mean it. I gotta try this juice. Something very interesting and pleasing about Ahlusion's chocolate juices..they are NOT dark juices. It's almost the same color as the SleighRide. Very nice rich chocolate smell. Not a candy bar at all in this juice. I am very excited to try this.

Dracula's Desire w/Strawberry--chocolate vape..but not the same scent at all. Creamy..slightest hint of strawberry in there but almost not noticed when I am sniffing. This does not smell like the Chocolate cream. It smells very decadent and almost temptingly sinful. Another flavor that I am looking forward to sinking my paws into.

Canyon Sun...extra cranberry style...this has been the one that I have been most excited about...and Ahlusion does not disappoint. It's different from the other Ahlusion juices I have had. Very light and citrus filled. The cranberries are definitely noticeable and I am contemplating trying it tonight. I think it's kind of funny, but at the moment..when I get a good sniff and the cranberry and orange are right there..there is also the occasional scent of grapefruit...like a sweet pink grapefruit. No, I am not saying this is what it is..just that it reminds me of it (grapefruit is awesome in cranberry relish by the way..so I am very pleased with this fruitilicious bouquet).

Ok..that's all I have for now. I will keep staring at these juices until I break down and vape one or two or 5. Who knows. The smell alone is full of A+ Awesome. I don't think they will take the place of my current number one loves, Pink Label, and SVC, but they are going to give them a helluva run for the money!! :)

Daniele, yes you! Anyone that said anything positive or negative about CPBT was running through my mind. I also understand the love hate affair with it -- at least 50% of it. :)

Got the provari in the mail today. I knew it was gonna be hefty but JESUS this thing is friggin ridiculous lol.

Make absolutely certain that if it falls off a counter top that you don't try to protect it by breaking its fall with your foot! Trust me, the ProVari won't break, but it may break something else! :shock:

I am now dangerously -- and I mean dangerously -- low on most all of my Ahlusion juices. :(:(:(

Just needed to whine about get that out there. :unsure:

I will for certain be a part of the stampede/ le deluge when A+ reopens!! :ohmy: :D

I'll be right there with you. I'm out of 2 of my favorites and almost out of Chocolate Cream! How am I going to have time to let anything steep...let alone go 48 hours with the caps off?

Got the provari in the mail today. I knew it was gonna be hefty but JESUS this thing is friggin ridiculous lol.

Congrats! I love mine. Maybe the weight and size never bothered me since it is pink :)

I made the mistake of buying an IMotion 2 and that thing is bigger than a Provari! I also had no idea it had some power modulation thing and I can't vape any of my juices without them tasting burnt. Going to have to put it in the classifieds and see if I can get some of my money back on it.

I should have just bought another Provari. All I wanted was something that would go with my tanks that don't match my pink Provari.

Ah could someone help me out here? I got my juices about 1.5 weeks ago, and when I first smelled them, all of them smelled super strong and chemically. I never believed in steeping before so I filled up 5 cartos with the 5 juices (Melonade, Boba Honeydew, Berry Shangri La Tea, Vecchio Blend and Devil Dog, all 18mg 70/30 pg/vg) and when I vaped them, they were super peppery and weird tasting.

Fair enough, I decided to let them steep. A week later, and they still taste the same. Am I steeping wrong? It's being kept in a cool place away from sunlight, and I left the cap off for the first 24 hours or so-ish. Does it just take a long time?

did you shake them a couple times a day throughout the steeping process and before you filled up your cartos after steeping?

There is no right or wrong way to steep necessarily, just personal choice. As long as you took the tops off, time does the rest. However I would like to add a couple points and ask a few questions..

Questions:
1) How long have you been vaping?
2) How many other vendors have you tried?
3) Did you fill the cartos up with the unsteeped juice?

Couple points:
1) I personally feel Ahlusion is a juice vendor that is best appreciated after tasting broad swath of what is available.
2) I do not get what you mean by peppery, though DD is spicy (which is a quality of tobacco). In the end they may just not be to your liking.

In closing, Devil Dog is not a juice, by any stretch of the imagination, for someone who is the casual tobacco vaper. It is some serious stuff. As far as the rest, if they all taste and smell a certain way, I would suggest putting them up in the classifieds, or waiting for us buzzards to start circling. I mean no disrespect by this post, and I am only trying to help, but I feel based on what you've said so far, that you may want to try a vendor like RAWR. They make good juice but IMO are on the lighter side of flavors. There is someone here who used to vape them and could probably help you out.

I haven't had this problem, but I bet if you email Wlad he will give you very sound advice. We know a lot about the juices, but Wlad IS the juice. I'm vaping him right now.
