Don't forget when ordering to request a sample with the details of how you want it in the comment section. For any $20+ order you get a free 10ml sample of your choosing, almost any juice exept the aromatics and a couple other exceptions.

Guess it's a little late for that, but thanks for the heads up.

I'm not "hostile," I'm curious.

:unsure:

I tend to look at these things from a sociological point of view, so perhaps I come off as a bit chilly. If, so, I'm sorry. The Ahlusion phenomenon strikes me as interesting, and also a bit baffling. That's really all there is to it.

I'll posit that the enthusiasm in having found a supplier of great juices is directly proportionate to the quantity of mediocre/disappointing ones and the difficulty in ascertaining which is which.

Edit: Damnit. That was my 1000th post. I wish I had thought of something clever to say.

2nd Edit: I see you down there Kropotkin. Yep, I realized it right after I pulled the trigger. I am well, my dear. How are you? I see the Kool-Aid has yet to take effect. Ah well, That's what the 15% feedback discount is for. Just in case you need another dose. ;)

I have the same problem. I started out with tons of e liquids from a ton of vendors thinking I was going to be in for treat. Boy was I wrong. So far I have found only only a handful of flavors I actually like and they are all from the same 2 vendors (a third vendor had a flavor that was inaccurate but actually not too bad). Many varied from mediocre at best, to completely inaccurate flavors, to downright vomit inducing. I am serious about that. One flavor a vendor sent me almost make be vomit. I won't mention which one since there are people here that like them and is a rather popular vendor. I have never tasted anything that foul in my life, yet you know how a smell can sometimes give you a taste senstation. Well, it reminded me of that nasty, near vomit inducing taste you get from a dumpster that has wet, fermenting garbage in it. I am completely serious. Let's just say I threw away every other flavor I got from that vendor, and it did put a damper on my zeal for tasting new juices. There was another vendor where everything had a papery, chemical taste to it. Another one had a burnt flavor for pretty much every juice. I have to wonder if their positive reviews on here and especially their site are just sock puppets. These were not just personal preference issues, they were just simply bad tasting and no where near the flavor they were supposed to be.

Yet when I do find a good juice, I am now thrilled like a kid on Christmas.

There's a discount??? Well, ****. Who knew?

:facepalm:

:lol: :lol:

Thanks for the laugh. About two weeks after you receive your shipment, you will receive an email requesting feedback so they can develop a profile on your preferences to customize subsequent mixes to your individual tastes. In that email, there will be a code that you can apply to your next order, if placed within 10 days of the email, that will reduce your cost by 15%. I always take advantage of that, and in addition, I receive another 15% discount for my military service. Rightfully, I should be disclosing that information along with my enthusiasm as it reduces the price to significantly LESS per ml than the inferior juices I've bought elsewhere.

No sociological evaluation is worth a darn without all the facts.

Maybe not, send them an email. I don't know if they will include the sample after-the-order, but it worth a shot, it's a nice size for a "sample". Be sure to be specific when requesting the sample too.

And great post Robino! I don't understand vendor hostility either. I'm not a vendor specific person. Although I would place Ahlusion as my favorite vendor overall, I only have a few of their juices at a given time along with 30+ other juices from multiple vendors. I can see why people get excited about their vendor-of-choice, especially ones like Ahlusion, HHV, and Alice in Vapeland. I personally don't find it weird or odd, but if I did I still would consider it none of my business to tell others how to enjoy their hobby.

True enough. And that is, indeed, of great sociological interest.

:)

Actually, I did answer some questions, but I'd already ordered more stuff, so I suppose it's a moot point.

But why ten days if nothing arrives for a month? I mean, you'd have no idea what to order on the next go-round, so . . . ? . . . Oh. I see. LOL.

I was the same way. Found Ahlusion, now I don't order from anywhere else. I had been looking for a mint flavor that wasn't menthol, or medicine. Bingo. There are some vendors I wouldn't mind trying but some of them have the same issue that some of you are experiencing with Ahlusion. I gave up and am still exploring Ahulsuions menu. Don't feel the need to go anywhere else for now. But they will even tell you their juice profiles may not be for everyone. They understand, expect and respect that.

Of all tried, they are the best and cleanest tasting juices i've had top to bottom. I trust their procesess and the flavors are good, I just like some more than others. Some a lot more. Sleighride, Smooth Criminal, Melon Bery Frost, W&A sasparilla, JG Blend, Lemon-Lime Breeze, Boba with Coffee are in heavy rotation.

I hope you like them. The JG Blend is becoming another favorite.
And remember, the feedback is important to tune the juices to your preference. They were good at first, great after feedback and amazing after a couple of rounds.

Don't forget to shake and steep. Good luck with the juices.
