Ahlusion's tea: the gateway leaf!

There you go!!

What's funny is I don't vape tobacco's at all anymore....I started out on tobacco's, had a few tobacco juices that I was a die hard fan of....6-7months go by, enter CPBT....my now #1 juice of all time....and I swear while I was vaping it, part of me was actually tempted to bust out some of my original favorite tobacco juices, just to see if maybe now I'd be into them again.....but I quickly realized they were not Ahlusion juices, and they probably just wouldn't do the trick anymore for that reason alone. Still odd though....with the exception of going through a small bottle of Gandalf from HHVmid summer, I haven't vaped tobacco's since maybe March-April....and something about that CBPT had me scratching my head on the tobacco front

You guys were killing me with the CPBT talk, because I'm completely out. Then I remembered that I had an almost full Stardust of it, that I shoved in my vape box in frustration because the Stardust was annoying me one day.

Well the Stardust is still annoying. But the CPBT is being a sweet lady tonight. :D

I thought you meant the A+ Stardust eliquid, and I was going to say are you serious? That stuffs the bomb! But it's late and I'm very sleepy and my reading comprehension is quite low. But Stardust is delicious.

Okay I have a dumb question...now I'm and old lady that seriously just got on FB a couple of weeks ago...how do I look at the Ahlusion site? Can I just like them above and get there?

In the facebook search bar (top of the page) just search "Ahlusion" and it will pop up. Simple as that! :vapor:

So, you'd like to work at Ahlusion, eh? There is currently a job opening for a "Flavor Chemist". Based on this article, weekend grill warriors need not apply:

You're a What? Flavorist - OOQ Online, Winter 2004-05

Who'd a thunk it? I have a brother who was a chemist before ditching that for Pharmacy. Of course, Pharmacy does pay a little better.

Ahlusion is pulling out all the stops. I can only imagine what the future holds for our dear vendor and friends.

So really, none of the wise sages on this thread have tried Maple River Tree? Tezkitty? Señor Hombre? Eleanor?

Tezkitty?! :laugh: I've seen just about every other possible permutation of my username, but that's a new one! Sorry Tiquetl :), so far I've only just scratched the surface of their non-aromatics (only tried Vecchio and House Blend). An Ahlusion maple tobacco sounds promising, though!

I like your new signature and avatar, by the way!

Sorry, I did not mean to offend :blush: I get silly when I'm tired. LOL.
I am very curious about this. Everybody here is so unbelievably well-informed about every A+ juice. I just assumed. As it happens my parcel is (really, truly this time!) on the final leg of its world journey, so I might very well be the first.

Oh, no offense taken at all -- on the contrary, I found it funny! Yeah, there's a lot of collective experience on this thread, but I think a lot of juices have still managed to slip through the cracks somehow, given the size of Ahlusion's catalog. We'll get through all of them eventually, though!

I'm an admirer of the works of both Erté (thanks to you) and Simon!

Congrats in advance for your upcoming Ahlusion arrival! People who have come onto this thread to complain about the shop being closed a day or two (or a week) should remember the great lengths you've gone through to get your order! I'm sure it will be everything you've hoped it will be.

I was told by Wlad (and can concur with the first two):

1) Aromatics
2) Non-aromatics
3) River Tree

exists in that order for impact of tobacco. The non-aromatics have a surprising depth to the tobacco, but it's not very impactful. So, unless I score a free sample or something, I won't be able to comment on RT.

I co-concur on the first two! :D I received my first ever Ahlusion order this past Friday. Starting to dig in just a bit today. Smooth Criminal, Vecchio Blend and Apple House Blend definitely have a medium impact in the tobacco department. Blue Grass Burley, on the other hand, is a kick in the teeth (or should i say throat ;))!! Holy cannoli! Didn't order anything River Tree, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts, Scarf! Maple RT was replaced in my cart by Apple House Blend at the last second.

It's so nice to finally experience the A+ advantage. These juices are the purest I've tasted so far, by far. I've been searching out nothing but tobaccos for the first few weeks of my transition, but the flavoring I'm experiencing here has me ready to try the whole menu!! These juices all have a common thread, and it's hard to put my finger on... the first word that comes to mind is macrobiotic. Have any of you ever been to an oxygen bar? Yeah, me neither :lol: ...but I can't imagine it being any better than vaping on some A+!

Good to have you with us (we need more bass 'round here!) Oxygen bar? No, but I used to go to bars around Detroit that had NO oxygen. Hit me up or just post here, Nick, if I can help with anything.

p.s. Your message the other night (Picasso/Duke Ellington message) has really made a difference for me. Thanks.

I just made my first order on 10-29. I don't mind waiting so long for shipment but are they ever open daily and all hrs of the day before they started their move? I am hoping they will be open all of the time at some point..I just ordered samples and thinking I may need to make my monthly order if they are as good as you all say. thanks

Generally, they are open all the time and orders take up to two days for fulfillment. You should receive order status updates so you will not be left wondering when your order was fulfilled.

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?
I've been vaping since I joined eCig forum, about 2 years give or take. I know my stuff =]
2) How many other vendors have you tried?
BWB, Halo, Mrs T's, Johnson Creek, Eastmall, a lot more
3) Did you fill the cartos up with the unsteeped juice?
Yes, is that bad? Do they steep in the carto or did I waste cartos

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.
By peppery, it's probably the nicotine. There's a much bigger throat hit with Ahlusion 18mg than any other 18mg. The one i've been vaping the most right now is Melonade, but the overwhelming taste is still lime, I don't taste anything else. Probably just needs more time huh>?

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'll comment quickly on the Melonade...the first couple of weeks I also felt like I could taste anything except the lime. That has since really mellowed, and now its much sweet, very real honeydew flavor, with hints of lime. It did take a few weeks to get there though

I'm a little perplexed here. I haven't tried any of the juices you bought, but the ones I have tried, not one has come up with a chemical smell. The "pepperiness" could be attributed to nicotine. Ahlusion doesn't play or water down their nicotine. If they say you are getting 18mg of nicotine..you are getting all 18mg..no substitutes. When I did my traditional 24mg with Ahlusion, it took some getting used to. I realized what I was missing with other vendors. Possibly crank up your pg/vg ratio a bit to 50/50..that might smooth it out a bit.

Test your juices out every couple of days or so. Vapes I enjoy right out of the package seem to really get even better as time goes on. Smoother..blendier...and worth a steep if I could just be a little patient...but I'm not..so I get that smoother tip on my Ahlusion juices around the middle of a 30ml bottle. Also, for the record, Ahlusion uses natural extracts and flavor blends, which might be a bit strange if you aren't used to it. I was so used to fake tasting flavors and actual chemical flavors, that while Ahlusion was great..it was also something to get used to. Who knew a Strawberry could be so fresh or a blueberry could be so tart. The cake is beautifully done. The mint is wild and breezy and chilling. Combat that with my nic buzz and I was all over the place trying to figure it all out.

Also take a good look at your equipment. I have tried Ahlusion in cartos and tanks..but they aren't half as good to me as they are on my atty of choice and my squeezy box (vmod xl). Still a nice vape..but so much more flavorful and complex with my favorite set up.

In closing..some juices you just have to set aside and forget about them for a little while. Come back in a few weeks and they are finally where you want them to be, tastewise and sometimes you just have to wait and see..maybe they are the juices for you..maybe not so much. Take it one day at a time and just see what happens.

Wishing you all the best. Hope it gets better for you. :)

Thanks for the response! I used to use atties, and I was looking at Ahlusion's special dripping one, but it said not to use it with the eGo-C Twist because of faulty protection something? Is that an issue? Can someone enlighten me?

Bunch'a enablers! I've added Boba Tea to my wishlist, and of the flavoring choices, I requested Watermelon. NO idea what Boba tea plain tastes like, but I'm thinking that watermelon can't possibly overwhelm it, and would add a little juicy sparkle to it (I keep fearing that bland thing). Besides, I have no juices with Watermelon. Those with Boba experience, sound OK to you? Other than that, and Grape Vine, I'm going Chocolate City with Dutch Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Cream. Probably add another couple before I'm done. Sublime and Maple Dream look mighty tempting. Kiwi Sea too, anyone had it? Sweet or sour? Also, moving to 12mg as part of my master plan to reduce my nicotine intake.
