I think they'll be alright. There are a number of things built into their business model that some hypothetical small-business-eating juice mega-vendor could never do, and they keep their current customers happy enough with a lot of little extras that I doubt few of them would stray even if your scenario came to pass. Plus, you have to bear in mind that selling retail e-liquid is only part of their total business -- they're not exactly one of the little guys when it comes down to it.

Little guy? Yeah, he's a little guy. He looks soft.

So many let what they "see" inform them on what is unseen. We know better.

You should go to Washington; I don't think they know what "business theory" is.

Or care to learn.

Oh, they already know. Some a lot more than me. They just choose to ignore realty for (pick an answer) the reasons below.

A- It is not politically expedient
B- They are some greedy somebodies out only for themselves (new pay raise)
C- They are about as corrupt as possible
D- they only do things to benefit those that pay them, their families or add to their power
E- They have no character at all
F- A & B
G- all the above

True but I figured I'd give followers of this thread a question if there was any interest. Should I delete the post?

You don't need to delete the post but just know that ALL sales and trades must be placed in the classified section. Mods read all the threads and you could get a slap on the wrist if you're not careful. You could just strikethru the text. I think it's understood.

Thanks for confirming the point I was trying to make ;)

It is one thing to judge, which you have every right to do... It is another to judge without any background or information. Considering the generalization you made above, which began as a post in reference to a single company, contains at least 3 instances of misinformation, or lack of information.

Ok, one more time for clarity and then I'm done. I am not referring to any one company as I've already stated; I just happened to be reading this thread when I posted. I am not generalizing - the unreliable supply problem is very real in the ecig/eliquid world. As the ranks of vapers grow and demand increases exponentially, the preferred cottage-industry vendors will either keep up with this demand... or a copy cat vendor will eventually step in to fill the void. That's just the way it works in business. Someone *will* build a better mousetrap and whether you want to believe it or not, this will in turn threaten the revenue of the smaller vendors. As I stated earlier, I don't want to see this happen.

I've only been off analogs for 6 days, so maybe my tastebuds haven't recovered properly yet to taste the flavor in the vapes. I don't really know what the flavors are "supposed' to taste like.

Despite all the talk about "taste bud recovering", I believe the latter is more the real problem for new vaporers (what is a vape supposed to taste like.).

I don't buy the broken taste bud theory only because, even as a smoker, I had super sensitive taste buds as a result of eating fresh organic foods with no "covering" flavors (ketchup, salt, cheese, butter, and all the stuff people put on their food). I would normally eat a bowl of fresh string beans with nothing on it, and tasted it perfectly..........while other people (whose taste buds ARE broken from coverings and processed foods) who weren't even smokers couldn't taste my foods.

When I first started vaping, I didn't know what it was "supposed to taste like." It's nothing at all like a cigarette. And it's nothing at all like eating the food, i.e. eating lemon meringue pie isn't the the same as vaping lemon merigue pie.

Therefore, I have always felt that it is more of a *perceptual* problem, not a broken taste bud problem, that makes things difficult for new vaporers.

My advice to you is to just get used to vaping first. Just vape every day and it will start to make sense to you.

There was nothing wrong with my taste buds-------- only that the experience of inhaling what are essentially FOOD FLAVORS, i.e. originally made for flavoring food, candy and baked goods, took a little getting used to.

Hope this makes sense to someone. :) Vaping is not the same as eating. Vaping is not the same as drinking. Vaping is not the same as smoking.


I guess it can be compared to anything that the brain needs to 're-translate'. If you've ever gotten your first pair of progressive lenses, for instance. Or had a visual or dental problem corrected.....the brain takes a while to 'learn' how to deal with the correction because it's somethign new. Progressive lenses had me falling down stairs and bumping into things for a while. :)

Good morning from cloudy north Georgia.

I had an unreliable supply problem one time. I searched. I read. I researched. I found Ahlusion. Unreliable supply problem has now been taken care of since I have been with them.

Customer service...spectacular.

E-liqiud...extraordinary (mine are anyway).

Ordering..easy as pie.

My questions and concerns...answered timely, with consideration, and with incredible kindness and patience.

Answer...I'm sticking to my company of choice.

I'm sorry if anyone out there is having their own "issues". There just might be "better mousetraps" built, but it's moot point if the bait is rotten cheese, or peanut butter laced with salmonella. I like the way Ahlusion does business. I like the care and consideration they take individually with each product. I like ordering with full confidence knowing that I am going to receive exceptional customer service and actual attention being paid to my order. I like the fact that they have actual business hours and aren't 3 weeks to a month out to just create my order. It's not in a basement..a garage, a kitchen or the guest bathroom. I like being able to ask questions and get up front answers in detail. I like the fact that there is NO bull**** with this company at all. What's more, I LOVE the fact that communication is a key element with this business.

In conclusion, I am perfectly good with how everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think it's great. Really. However, I am not on board for campaign smears. We either like a company or we move on. Simple as that.

My two cents...and you can keep the change.

I've been wondering now for the last few days how anyone could "copycat" Ahlusion. Since they make their own flavors, and I mean make them not mix them from off the shelf flavoring, it would be hard to come close. Then again, they never wanted to be mass market anyway.

Yes, there are other good vendors out there. Cinnamonkey summed it up nicely. I've ordered from some of the other vendors who far harder to get orders in with. They don't even come close and I can order pretty much daily from Ahlusion without much forward planning.

Edit: I should add Ahlusion is not the only place I order from. There are a couple others out there making great juices as well.

Cinnamonkey,

Good Morning! You always know how to write exactly the right thing and I totally agree with you.

Ahlusion is magical. What you order is what you taste and if you want it to be a little bit different all you have to do is communicate with the company. They listen to you and I love that. But the flavors... there is just nothing that can equal their flavors and their recipes. You will taste things that you never imagined possible. That's why I call them magical.

Ahlusion is my company. They have everything I want and the quality of the product and the customer service is awesome. I don't say it has to be everyone's. Just don't come along and knock mine. Pick your company and I won't knock it or you for choosing it. If a company isn't for you, move on, and post in their thread. I would never post in someone else's thread saying something against the company or their choice. It's disrespectful. One thing Ahlusion has an abundance of is respect. For their customers and from their customers.

That's my pet peeve. People who think they need to tell me what I will or should do.

Thanks for the review R, beverages seem to translate well to eliquid for me. Only one I've had of those 3 was the Sass, which really is quite complex. When I first got it, there was a certain fizzy, carbonated effect, that I never got from an eliquid before. After steeping the flavor seems blended better, but the fizziness is gone.

The same holds true for Mimosa Cocktail. When I initially tried it, there was that fizziness. By the time we reviewed it, the sensation was still there, but to a much lesser extent.

I wonder why that is. I was pretty skeptical when people would say a juice has a fizzy sensation, since that sensation is purely from the actual carbonation of beverages, but when I received the W&S I thought, I'll be damned, there it is. Must be a flavoring or something that mimics it, but why would that go away? The juice already is technically "flat" to begin with.
