Dug out my super steeped bottle of Soller's Pointe this morning and it saddens me to report that it is still not for me.

me either

Has anyone on here tried an aloe drink before? Got Vivian from Flavies in a dripclub box and I'm super hesitant to try it out lol

I absolutely love aloe drinks and I loved that liquid! It's definitely different but since I love aloe drinks it wasn't hard for me to find it enjoyable at all. If you don't like it you can always send it my way! LOL!

 

[fancypants]

You should be. I've drank aloe juice before and it's not something you really do for the flavor.

I guess I'm the lone weirdo, I like aloe drinks for flavor! Especially the pomegranate ones!

I wanted to love 15 Foot Falls but AiV has to be the most subtle juice on the planet. Alice needs to eat the cake to make the flavor shots bigger.

Out of curiosity, did you ask them to add extra flavor in the notes when you checkout? They can't do it on samplers but they can do it on their regular sized bottles. I always did that and found the flavor to be quite good!

Also regarding American Cheesecake, is the Car Nut the only one y'all have tried?

*I know, I'm so far behind from being gone so long, please try not to beat me!

@I'mnotZak Do you like Duchess? I ordered the Duchess Reseve in my monthly order the other day...

@fancypants, I do like Duchess and I also like Don Juan even better. I always have both on hand. I find myself using Duchess to mix with other flavors. IMO, Duchess does improve with about a 1-2 week rest. I think you will be happy with the Duchess Reserve. I have thought about purchasing it, but just didn't want to spend the extra green.

I have also tried and love the Boston Cream Pie from American Cheesecake. The flavor is spot on Boston Cream.

Yep. I've even tried that tactic more than once. Everything I ever ordered, all of it with extra flavor, has went down the sink drain short of one bottle I sent to one of our fellow juice Junkies.

Even more unhappiness with Charlie Noble today. They sent me the wrong nicotine level on my Admiral's Reserve Sampler . Shame too, they had good dates and were ready to go.

Got my first order of Ahlusion today! I used the recent 50% off coupon code to try 9 juices plus one sample of the Lemon Ginger Iced Tea. I ripped into the package and tore off the plastic and started shaking and sniffing the bottles. I know I am in for a long steep with these babies, but so far, I am loving the way Autumn Mist, Strawberry Sunset, Just Criminal, Pure Apple and Poppin Peach smell. The others, including Alpha Centauri, Peaches & Cream, Lemon Ginger Iced Tea, Lemon Vanilla Cake and Mango Lassi, are not giving me much scent at all. I'm sure that will improve with time, but I wonder if any of you Ahlusion afficionados have ever tried quick steeping Ahlusion juice in the crockpot? I've done it successfully with other juices, but don't want to mess this stuff up.

Sorry to hear that!

Never used a crockpot. Have used an ultrasonic cleaner with good results though. Just don't get them too hot or leave the caps off too long. Putting them to sleep in the drawer is the best way though.

I always did too and loved 15FF. Recently tried it again and it has sort of lost its magic OR mine got too old

Can't go by smell with Ahlusion. It's an enigma but the way they smell has absolutely no bearing on how they taste.
I'm sure a fellow Ahlusionati will back me on this..If not oh well. Sniff Moonlight Serenade and then Drip or tank it. Nothing even close in taste to smell.

I have not done that. I think the more you open them the faster they will steep and this is why I say that:
I love Lemon Cream fresh and when I first open it the liquid is nice and clear light pink. As the days go on, after opening it to re-fill-its gets darker pretty quick. I would not leave it caps off but I would open daily and air exchange and see if that does not speed up the process. Of them all you could probably vape the Lemon Vanilla Cake now and like it. Strawberry Sunset and Mango Lassi for sure need a good steep. JC too.

I read, probably on old ECF threads, that if you put water in a crock pod, put the crockpot on the lowest setting and leave the lid cracked a bit, you can safely speed-steep your juice without harming it. I've done it with lots of juices, but I'm afraid to do it with these since they are delicately flavored.

I think I'll go with your tried and true method...unless I get too antsy! I am loading up the Lemon Vanilla cake as soon as I get close to emptying my tank of Impearmint. It's about time for me to clean that device and put a new atty in anyway and that way I can be sure to taste every flavor nuance there is.

I agree..I would not do that either..Well, because...lol

LVC is fantastic FOOB..In fact I find it better FOOB than steeped. Hence my switching to Lemon Cream. Once the bakery in LVC kicks in the lemon seemed to diminish quite a bit. Several are great FOOB. I think JC is but to each their own and junk and stuff.

Oh good! Then I'll be taking a taste of the JC tonight too! I can always put it to bed again if it tastes like it needs a bit more nap time.
