Make sure that you change the VG/PG ratio to YOUR preference, not what defaults. It defaults 90VG, and that WILL take a long time to age properly.

hhhmmm..thanks for the tip and this could explain a lot! I first ordered a couple months after i first started vaping and didn't know much about PG/VG and usually just went with what the vendors recommended.

Now that I'm an "experienced" vapor, I have to say I still don't know much about PG/VG. At least I'm consistent.

Try them next time at 50/50, or if you're not sensitive to PG, go with 70PG and 30 VG - I think you'll be a lot happier with Ahlusion then!

thank you thank you!!!
I will try that and no, I have don't have sensitivities to either. I'm just having a hard time knowing what to order cuz sometimes high in one tastes good with some vendors, then with others, not so much. Like I love AVEs Gorilla Juice which is high VG and then I bought juices from another vendor high in VG and it tasted like wax with barely any flavor.

I think this is the hardest part of vaping for me...what ratio PG/VG to get from different vendors.

I usually order 50/50 - but because I like bolder flavors, I've been increasing my PG level to about 70.

Another thing - you can send Ahlusion an e-mail with your feedback form and tell them what you're vaping on (equipment, resistance, tank or rebuildable, etc). They make their juices with drippers in mind, so they need to know if you're not dripping to adjust the juice to be more appropriate for a tank set up.

I also have asked them to profile me with max flavor. :)

And when you do try them again and get a feedback e-mail - give them feedback like "I love the blueberry vanilla cake, but I would like the blueberry to be more forward and the cake more in the background" or "For me, with Peachy Criminal - I can taste the Smooth Criminal component, but none of the peach" - and they will make those tweaks to your profile.

And if you're not ready to give feedback when you get the e-mail, that's ok - you don't have to give feedback to use the coupon - I usually give feedback on the flavors themselves a month or two after I get the juices.

Vape switch , vape switch etc.

I am sitting here staring at this all of this juice I am accumulating in my desk and think why am I even thinking about ordering more?
I come here and hang out and the temptation commences. sigh
Your Boosted by Boosted sounds tasty. I'll have to check the site out. ( see more temptation... argh)

Not happy with Nicoticket making the butterscotch pudding so expensive. I understand supply and demand but also thought they were all about value. Maybe it's just my wife does not want me to buy it, but I am so disappointed. Have been dying to try it but at almost 40 dollars shipped for a 50ml I can't pull the trigger. I was going to order 100ml until I got sticker shock. Had been planning to buy it all week. I am not saying that Nicoticket' juice is not worth it just the opposite. I think his normal pricing is perfect for the quality of juice he provides and I am sure butterscotch pudding is absolutely awesome and worth every penny. I just can't justify the extra price. It hurts my soul but I am passing on this one. Right now I a vaping my own butterscotch custard and loving it. Takes a little bit of the sting away.

I am glad you passed. what a gimmick. Nueture your soul by patting yourself on the back for not following the masses and buying into the exploitation

finally received my Lazarus Vintage after a week

No. 1 is pretty good. Almost like a glimpse of something fruity or citrus but very subdued. Definitely won't dethrone Journey, but it's quite good. I'll probably order Compass next time
Compass is my favorite from them. It's a candy/wine flavor. Like... if you've ever have a wine spritzer (wine + pop/soda), it tastes like that. Really good

I honestly don't understand the whole "Ahlusion needs to steep 3-6 mos" rumblings around here. I've liked everything FOOB except the few things I mentioned on my last order and it all becomes absolutely divine after I'd say, 3 weeks. This is just my experience.
I don't know about 3-4 months but mine definitely needed to sit. Shipwreck took a good 3 weeks for me to taste anything, even dripping and Peppermint Mocha is still super subtle. I did respond to their feedback email and indicate that I believe that I require additional flavor/more flavor than most. (even though I indicated in the comments of my order that I use tanks... I don't think this was taken into account though) I still do want to try Boba Tea and that Blueberry Vanilla Cake.

Ah, a kindred spirit. I tend to do the same thing. Always putting things off to the last minute. I sometimes think I must thrive on the stress associated with trying to get things done like that!
This is definitely me. I always tell myself I need to start doing my schoolwork earlier in the week so I don't get frantic come Sunday (when everything is due) and yet every time it's Sunday when I'm doing the bulk of my work.

I am having a crap vape day. Been vaping myself blue all day and nothing hitting the vspot and now my lungs hurt. Ugh. Never wanted to smoke so bad and not at the same time

Sorry you're having a bad vape day. I know how you feel. I haven't been able to vape hardly at all since Sunday. Was so sick it made me want to gag. Finally feeling like a human again just now and finally able to enjoy my vape. Next step, food!

Hope you find your vspot again soon!

lavender I hope that the evening looks up for you. I have days like that too. It will pass soon and you will
be back to vape enjoyment. I will vape something with menthol to zap my taste buds when nothing is
doing it for me. I like peach iced. Stay strong against the urge not to smoke.

I am sorry you have been sick.
But glad to hear that you are on your way back to feeling better.
Good luck with food.

I will give feedback...if I get the email. My first order with them was when they went through a website change. I never got the feedback email. Sent them an email I didn't get it and still didn't. Needless to say, my whole ALH experience thus far wasn't the best. But I know they are a quality vendor so gonna try them again

UGH!!! Just burst my bubble reading this! That's pricey and I guess I'll pass too! NT does have good juice but hard to fork over that much for something I've never had. Just like the Or3O I wanted to try from them but it's a special batch so 50ml only and I'm like, but I'm stuck with it if I don't like it :(

A good vape is almost as good as food!

So the closest I've come all day to the vspot....on a whim I rewicked and grabbed a tiny bottle of Bobas Bounty and was like wth I will try this. It's as close as I've gotten today, gonna try Gorilla Juice see if that's warmer or colder from the spot. Was so desperate I even broke out some of my old diy, it was horrible, tried to make it better..no such luck. I don't think I would be exaggerating to say I have tried 1/4 of my juices at least today. Tried mixing stuff together just no happiness found. I have vaped so much none of my TH juices are even giving me any at all. How do you desensitize TH? No idea but I managed it lol. Right now I'm happier than I've been all day w/ Bobas in a dripper and Snow Whites Demise in the REO, maybe I should just leave well enough alone....

I really want to try their Creme Brûlée and the Vanilla tobacco one. My vape budget with all the expenses this month just doesn't allow for juices I haven't tried. I've only tried their GCD but that was before I realized I don't like bakery cinnamon vapes. It tasted like one of the better renditions in that category though, very buttery.
