Danielle, keep throwing out any creamy updates from your orders. I tend to lean that way too. A little bit of cream and spices thrown into almost anything I vape sounds like a win to me. In one of my feedback emails, I told Wlad that I didn't think there was such a thing as "too creamy". Now I'm picturing him just pouring half & half into my next bottles and adding a few drops of nic...actually, that doesn't sound horrible:)

If you haven't tried Fijian Nights or Sweet Surrender....jump all over those then! I don't know what Wlad changed in my Fijian Nights...but you might want to ask him for the version he made for me....as those were some of characteristics I gave him when we were chatting early on. And he felt that was the best juice to profile for me....it could not have come out better IMO

Those are both reorders for me. I have about 15mils of sweet surrender and about 2mils of Fijian nights left. Right now I have 60mil refills of cocoberry cream and cocobana on the way...both with requested extra creamy goodness. :) It's funny because I have NEVER been able to stand eating coconut but when it comes to vaping it (when its done right) it is amazing.

Please keep me posted on coco-berry cream...sounds like we are in a similar playing field here. I love coconut all the way around...but its definitely been one of my favorite vapes, even pre-Ahlusion. Now its just that much better tho!

Have you tried Blueberry Colada? I'm sure any of the pina colada's are just as amazing...but I've only tried the blueberry version. Another creamy coconut-y winner IMO! Pink Label also has the creamy aspect to it....thats one of my favs.

Next I plan to try Red, White and Blueberry

Actually, they are quite different. The drink Sarsaparilla is made from the extract of sarsaparilla root but originally flavored with sassafras and birch oils and did not contain sarsaparilla.

Root beer is also flavored with sarsaparilla root but has the additional flavorings from sassafras, anise, burdock, cinnamon, dandelion, ginger, juniper, vanilla and wintergreen.

Me likey my Root Beer :)

...but only the good stuff. I just cannot have it anymore...too much sugar. :(

Maybe the best way to describe root beer is to say it tastes like a dumbed down version of Sasparilla?

BTW, what kind of man does buisiness like this ? First Wlad asks me about my equipment, just to make sure I'll enjoy his wares. Then he suggests flavors I might like, and while he's so busy he's had to shut down his site he responds to emails immediatly AND informs of upcoming sales ! Wlad is going to redefine Customer Service in the Every Industry, if he hasn't already !

Minor correction....

Your post reminded me of some great childhood memories...I have a HUGE family...and every summer there was always a few graduation parties, 4th of July parties, etc...and they'd be outside in NJ, tents in case it rained....and kegs for the adults...but Birch Beer kegs for the kids. Ah...I loved that stuff. The good ol days!

Daniele25, I have never thought of you as average! How can anyone who knows the pleasures of Ahlusion be considered "average". You have to be way above average. :toast:

LOL! I'm having enough trouble finding guys who are into average chicks like myself...not sure I need to lessen my chances any more so! haha

BAH! STOP IT! If we don't stop talking about Fijian Nights, I won't have any left! I'm busy working away on filling a new Ipod with music for those 16 hour road trips (Not many radio stations, and satellite radio is SO pathetic anymore) and I just keep on plugging away on it, and it keeps getting juicier and juicier. Pro Tip ala Mr. Mann, this juice ROCKS with champagne as a chaser. Sipping on Henriot's NV Brut Souverain and listening to Lacuna Coil. That and vaping Fijian Nights while the fam sleeps. Mmmm... French Champagne, Italian Rock, and Pacific Rim Cocktails. Feels like a trip round the world.

My first bottle of Coco-Berry Cream was outstanding. It disappeared way too fast. Cocobana reminded me of a really good tropical drink. Thank God somebody finally made a real banana flavoring to use instead of banana runts candy flavor. I'm sure that the Colada's are in my near future.

COOL info NK! Yeah Mann, me too....

Edit: @ LLJR, yes, this Ahlusion Banana is very authentic. I just love how they don't oversugar flavors like the rest of the food industry. Very refreshing, in every sense of the word.

Mo, seeing as how Ahlusion strives for reality --not a Rockwell version of reality where everything is sickeningly sweetend, but somehow convincing to the masses-- I generally hesitate to suggest Ahlusion to vapers who haven't tried (at the very least) a couple simple "interpretations" of flavors. I have always been a firm believer in starting out with the cheap stuff. When I first started painting, I could not for the life of me understand why one 37 mL of cerulean blue was $20+ and another 37 mL of cerulean blue hue ("hue" in artistic paint would be akin to "artificial") would be a few bucks. After using the cheap stuff for a while, you start to see through it (quite literally with that paint) -- the limitations of what you have become clear and you yearn for better quality. Sometimes, experiencing fabrications first makes learning the truth all the more special.

Just caught up with the thread and I can't remember who asked about Ahlusion's coffee flavors, but IMO they are FANTASTIC!!! I've had Caramel Coffee, Kona Kick, JG blend, Cafe Au Lait, Peppermint Mocha (less peppermint) and House Blend - they all rock! They are by far my favorites from A+, in addition to Chocolate Coconut Almond and Pink Label.

I've been trying to get my hands on Cappucino and Espresso, but they are always not available.

it was me :) what was your favorite? The cafe au lait makes me salivate just from the picture.

It makes things tough to keep trying new flavors when each has been done so well. I'm used to searching through so many different juices to find one that I like. Whenever I would come across a decent one, I would dig my hooks into it and hold on for dear life not knowing when the next good one would come along. I'm slowly being retrained by A+ that it's okay to keep experimenting...they are much more than a one trick pony.

Written like a true artist, Mr.Mann. Couldn't have said it better. This is the heart of what makes Ahlusion special.

When I first started ordering from Ahlusion, I would lean towards the "Sweeten" option when offered. Must have made Wlad laugh. On my first review of Orange Nocturne, which I asked for "sweetened", I stated that the orange was a little forefront, and I'd like to taste a little more of the dark chocolate. Wlad, rather diplomatically, suggested that the answer wasn't adding more chocolate, but instead "reducing the sweetness" to taste the chocolate. Ahhhh. Got it. There's a lot more subtle about Ahlusion than just the juice.

re: higher end art supplies, yep, I'm learning ALL about that. My daughter invariably reaches for the supplies on the top shelf, on advice of her teachers. I don't know squat about how to apply them, but the cost is a keen point I'm learning to appreciate. ;)

Boy, do I have something to show you. It is away around that with the same quality, but pennies (okay, maybe dimes) on the dollar. (Not a five finger discount.)

Is it too late to come over tonight? ;)

PM sent....

Next time someone complains about the price of a mL in ejuice, think about this: 40 mL of Cadmium Yellow Oil Paint. I could use that tube rather quickly. You learn how to extend it, but if it drops on the floor and gets stepped on uncapped (it's happened to me many times), well that's yoazz! Remember, that is just ONE color! Of course, Old Holland is like the Ahlusion of oil paints. hahaha!


p.s. And people wonder why artists are broke. :facepalm:
