Ahlusion

[Mr.Mann]

Some guy has his last box of Twinkies up on eBay for $10K......my last bottle of Ahlusion would need to get me at LEAST 5 times that.

If we're talking CPBT, Pink Label, or Boba Tea w Honeydew....I don't think $100K would do it.

Off to Sam's Club tomorrow! I wonder if Hostess has the same rule as Zen about reselling? How I made my millions!!! You'll see my picture right next to the guy who invented the ...

LOL! I know right? After I saw that...I was like, "well, looks like I might actually go out and try to buy my first box of Twinkies!" I'm not sure I've ever even had one, but I just don't like them. When I see stuff like this....it reminds me of a few years back when someone was selling an old grilled cheese sandwich for thousands on eBay because it supposedly had an image of the Virgin Mary in it suddenly appear on the toast. Hahahaha

And if I remember correctly...that started a whole trend of old,disgusting food items being sold on ebay for one random reason or another

That grilled cheese sandwich was sacrilicious!

Dang, that was torture. Now I want some...and I have to wait! I have eyed PC for sometime.

One of the things I am getting to like about W+A is that their masterpieces are not "kiddy style". They are not super sweet and lean more to sophisticated flavors.

Ok, so... Pralines and Cream.

Where I'm from, a praline is a pecan coated in in a cinnammon/sugar candied crunch. This is not that critter at all. To my taste it is nutty and creamy, and almost... bready? Like sweet buttery biscuits covered in toasted pecans. I also got almond in mine, and that gives it this kind of bright, sweetish, cherry-like spark in perfect counterpoint. (It reminds me of the pear in CPBT... that kind of delicate sweetness peeking out.) And of course the cream is in there making it all smooth and rich luscious.

It's not a savory vape exactly, but it's almost leaning towards that category. It's delicious without being flashy, and I can already see that I could vape it for a long time without getting tired of it. Maybe best of all, it's perfectly harmonious with coffee and breakfast.

I will never ever have an "all-day vape," but if I absolutely had to pick just one thing to vape all day, this might be the one. This is really an under-lauded juice.

Grilled cheesus and a side of lies.

BGB goes well with Friday, BTW.

You make that sound so good! Your mention of "bready" makes me think. I haven't seen any major vendor with a bread vape. Baguette? Oh yes please. I would vape the living daylights out of any accurate-tasting bread e-liquid

 

[daniele25]

Ok....if you don't have Sweet Surrender, please do yourself a favor and at least get a sample next order. This juice gets better every time I try it, its indescribable to me...I wish I could give more details. All i can say is give it a try. Now that even more time has passed, I am totally in love with it. Looks like a bigger bottle is a must.

I remember a time when I was constantly seeking what I'd hope would be "my favorite juice", now I'm in a situation where I can't decide which of about 4 or 5 different Ahlusion juices is my "favorite juice", because they are just all so darn good!

So there...Sweet Surrender enters the Daniele favorites lineup...CPBT, Boba Tea w honeydew, Pink Label....and welcome Sweet Surrender!

My Pralines & Cream was born on 10/29 and I have just busted into it. Right now it's more of a Pecans & Cream flavor than a Praline flavor. The inhale is creamy and rather light, while the exhale is a full on nutty pecan that really lingers on the tongue. So far it's missing that buttery, fudgey aspect that I remember from the pralines I had in New Orleans so I'm going to let it steep awhile longer to see if that comes through later. I am enjoying it though and can only imagine it getting richer with time.
More than anything, it's making me crave a beignet juice and a chicory coffee w/ cream juice to go along with it

I remember a time when I was constantly seeking what I'd hope would be "my favorite juice", now I'm in a situation where I can't decide which of about 4 or 5 different Ahlusion juices is my "favorite juice", because they are just all so darn good!

I ordered a couple hundred 6ml plastic dripper bottles online, for filling my crew tackle box. On the recent work sweep, 90 bottles with 15 different flavors. I grabbed one of each and threw them in my pocket. Totally unscientific, because I'd grab 4 or 5 randomly off my dresser each morning to take on the jobs. But then I would decide which of those I'd want to drip based on preference. When I got back to Michigan, I looked at the level of the 15 different flavors. #1 vaped was Sweet Surrender. Oddly, a juice that I gave Wlad a lukewarm review of, Star Dust, was my #2 vape. I'm growing more fond of it. #3 was another surprise, Fijian Nights. My real favorites, Orange Nocturne and Tiramisu (Drac's didn't make the trip) were hardly touched. Probably because I vape O.N. so much at home, and Tiramisu is my "special treat" juice.

Aaaanyway. Get yourself some smaller bottles to carry around and you'll quickly find out which ones are really your favorites. The Star Dust and Fijian nights get much more enjoyable with a month of age. I can't figure out the steep curve. I'd think it was chocolates and dark juices that would benefit most, but it seems the more subtle the juice at the start, the more it comes out of a shell with significant time.

Revist of the Carmel Apple and Fujian Nights. These two have been steeping for awhile - they are dated 9/30. Since they I need to conserve my supplies until A+ opens its doors again thought I would re-visit them.

Both 10ml bottles are almost full. I did not get much from them so I did not take much. What a difference a month of steeping can make.

Caramel Apple used to be mostly caramel. Now I can taste the apple clearly on the exhale. Major difference and I am really digging it. The Fujian nights was very faint to me. That steeping really brought out the caramel and it is amazing. Very clean flavors, great vapor.

The only bummer is that when these are gone it will take forever to get more. Once I can order more (another week), it takes about a week to get here (processing, packing and USPS). Then a few days with caps off (and shake, shake, shake). Then a month to steep from there. Its going to be next year till I can vape more.

Remember, I told you guys a long time ago they were evil.

Hey NK, I saw your post the other night about our exchanges regarding a 30 mL price. Well, let's just say that while that may have been some time ago, the time becomes a moot point in the blink of an eye. When I read that post, I couldn't help but to think about how things change so rapidly. My point is, you're good as fully stocked and fully steeped...just blink.

 

[Moueix]

Uh oh. I'm sitting here dripping my 2 day old recent order. (SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Eleanor!). W&A Sasparilla? Gotta get yourself some. You're going to hear me on this one in a couple weeks. UH! Oh, really really REALLY good. JParadise, if you're reading, THANK YOU! Root Beer city, without the sugar. And I really have to wonder how in the heck they make this taste "fizzy". What does fizzy taste like? You'd think it was only a texture, but nope. This juice tastes "fizzy". COOL! What's funny, is W&A backwards? Yup, A&W.


Canyon Sun, ala CinnaMonkey (extra Cran) also VERY promising. Remembering her review, this definitely makes me think of Cinnamonkey, it's a little tart! I'll gorge on Canyon Sun come December!

Grape vine I've covered, and it is BERRY good also. These 3 are all light and crisp, but very flavorful juices. Very much in the same genre and any one of these could easily become favorites once they've had their time to steep.

Now, I'm nuts about Cocoa, so I'm moving on to the Chocolates.

Chocolate cream? Alright, I've taken one for the team here. I'll probably regret those wasted drops later, but this isn't showing much yet. Pleasant, but extremely subtle. I get a very very light milk chocolate flavor, and the cream is hiding in the copious vapor and not really adding anything. Don't bother with this one until after the proper steep time. This will be the last one I bring back up from the cellar.

Dutch Chocolate Mint. Same thing. This is Andes mint chocolates on Xanax. Super mellow and laid back. Oddly, even at this point, the mint and chocolate are very much in balance but both super subtle. I hope as it steeps, both flavors develop equally. It's so perfectly balanced right now, I don't want one flavor to emphasize over the other at all. Another one to not even bother sampling as a child. This'll join the Chocolate cream at the back of the steep rack. I'm thinking these chocolates are probably best left until near Christmas at this point.

ACK! Ahlusion Down!! I realized that I'm missing my sample! Boba's Tea! The cap is sitting there where the others were, but no bottle! After a 60 second frantic search, found it. It took a head dive into my clutter. Good thing you have to really SQUEEZE these 10ml's to get anything, it was laying on it's side, not a drop lost. Whew. Glad I put the dripper tip back in after the first 24hrs. That could have been an e-disaster.

Boba's Tea. This is interesting. It kind of reminds me of RY4 without the tobacco or caramel. Not sure what that means, it's just mental stream. I get the creamy milky part. And a light sweetness. This is like the not-quite popular girl at school that you look at, and think, sleeper! Cute, quiet, always pleasant but never does anything to really stand out. Probably going to mature into something that only her husband is going to really appreciate as hottie. I bet this will end up getting a lot of atty time, when I don't know what I'm in the mood for, but just want a pleasant vape. Thanks Ax, Plain was the right choice after all for the first try. Gives me the base of reference I'll need to appreciate these with other flavors.

Well, I know I'm wasting bandwidth, but I'm probably here alone at this hour. Thanks for ignoring this post. I'm just using the thread as a scratch pad right now.

I have the same problem. One day I will think that House Blend is my favorite followed by Cherry House Blend with Apple a distant third. The next day the whole order will be reversed. One thing in for sure though - some kind of House Blend is ALWAYS at the top of the list!

I am impressed that SO many of my online friends are always here posting every day. I just don't seem to have enough hours in my days.

 

[Jessevapman]

Well I got my order yesterday. Had to break into the 60ml bottle of house blend. After vaping ahlusion juice nothing taste good. I good 5 flavors from hhv and to me they are almost un vape able! Guess I am spoiled.

 

[axolotly]

My latest Ahlusion order will be here today, and BGB will be ready to go out of the box. What is up, awesome Saturday?

HHV is a good vendor and was my favorite before I tried Ahlusion. I would not call HHV unvapable as I'm out of Ahlusion and vaping gandalf right now.

 

[gthompson]

I've heard lots of people say they prefer another juice vendor over HHV, but that's the very first time I've ever heard anyone call HHV juice "un-vapable".

Not to be presumptuous that I'm in your circle of friends, but my excess time is explainable. I've known Wlad's struggles starting a young business. But he can be encouraged by the obvious time on my hands. Once a business matures, and you have the right people in the right places, it becomes as easy to use as a Kodak disposable. Point and shout.

I hate to disparage other vendors. I started with Smokeless Image. Beginners could do far worse for flavor. Once I went 510 and could choose any juice, I bought a varied bunch of small Dekangs to see what flavors I liked. That only taught me I didn't like Dekang. I found Alice in Vapeland which was a quantum leap above SI and Dekang. Then I found Ahlusion. Now I have to work to vape the AIV so as not to just waste it. Not bad by any standard, it was actually a light bulb going off at that stage in my vaping, but it's not in the same league as Ahlusion, either. Ahlusion wasn't a light bulb, it was someone ripping the roof off on a sunny day.

Edit: This reminds me, to give credit to whom I owe for bringing me into the light. I've never even mentioned it here, nor to him. I was happily vaping the interesting flavors of AIV, and during an AIV related search, I found a thread that was started by one of the most recognizable members of this thread. It was an informal poll, to find other members favorite vendors. AIV was an oft mentioned top favorite, but there was another, and those who mentioned it seemed to have glazed eyes. Like they had found the Dalai Lama of juice vendors. Just HAD to check that out. The thread? Top 5 vendors (e-liquid), That poster who started it? Our own Mr. Mann. Thanks, Mann.

Edit2: Damn addicting thread, I have things to do! Sorry to abandon y'all, but Golf isn't going to play itself.

 

[new kid]

You do realize I was just kidding about the wait? I have enough to tide me over and other ones I still vape as well.

I mostly feel bad for W&A. This is stressful enough for them but it is also right before the holidays. Me, I'll get by.
