Is ahlusion really worth all the grief

[DrApex]

I understand the frustration expressed here. Not only do we hate to wait for the things we want, we have in varying degrees an addiction.

Vendors who close their stores have baffled me in the past. One would imagine they are leaving lots of money on the table.

However, vape stores like Ahlusion, Alice in Vapeland, and others, consider themselves more like artists than Walmart.

I will buy from those vendors, on their terms. But I don't run so low on juice it causes me trouble.

I keep plenty of stock for everyday vaping. I order artisan juice when I can and vape it when I can. Matter of fact, I just put in an order this week for a large bottle of Alice in Vapeland, the cherry blossom one.

When it arrives, I'll enjoy it, but I'm not going to run low on juice waiting for it.

If I was Allusion, I'd just increase my prices to the point where the number of orders I received in 24 hours was equal to my capacity to produce and ship. Supply and Demand. Make a lot more money for the same work. This is the american way.

...They close once they reach capacity for the day to ensure that customers who really wanted it and took the time out of their busy day to make ordering a priority dont have to wait 2-3 weeks before its even shipped like a ton of other vendors I could name. Its as simple as that....Most of the juice vendors selling e-liquids dont have the manpower or the facilities to keep everyone happy...youd be surprised at how many are run from someone's home and then eventually take over their lives...so it ends up being a choice between two evils. You can either anger a handful of people who didnt get their order in before you reached capacity while pleasing the 300 who did......or take orders 24/7 and piss off everyone who orders from you because of ridiculous wait times. I'd prefer the former any day of the week.

(Just to maybe balance the self-lacerating torture picture, my daughter just said to me, "Huh? I just placed my first order, easy shmeazy." I think the express stuff, which is the same juice, just popular flavors, is pretty zippity also. Just as juice can hyped, so can difficulties.)

I ordered a bunch of juices yesterday; they shipped today!!

BTW, Aubie, the Xpress Line will consist of juices that have already been steeped to what their maker considers prime vapability.

Um, they all say "Product Status: Unavailable.". That's what it says when they're open or closed every time I look. The regular line all have "Status: Available".

Oh my goodness, YOU'RE RIGHT! I'm so very sorry; I didn't scroll down the page far enough on the ones I put on my wishlist.

Don't make me find out where you live!

Seriously, though, the owner/Master Flavor Chemist wants his products to BE available to vapers, but does not want us to have to go through that painful multi-week backlog that we all experienced several months ago! Hence, open Mon-Fri each day until their daily capacity to mix is reached!

Dear Mr Kropotkin,

I ordered my juice two weeks ago. I remain bereft. What kind of outfit are you running, anyway? You said this would work, well ha, ha, someday the world is going to be completely dominated by sensible capitalists who know how to do business properly. Take your over-hyped Ahnarkist Joose and shove it up your collective commune.

Sincerely,
Aubergine

Dear Aubergine,

Where there is authority, there is no freedom, pushy woman. Consider yourself abolished. (All you had to do was knock three times with the .... of your pitchfork, didn't you read the pamphlet? We are having a magnificent party here, Bakunin brought his Meerschaum bottom-feeder. Ppppppppppptttttttttt.)

Even more sincerely,
Kropotkin

There's lots of good juice makers out there. If you don't like the way they do business, buy from someone else. Complaining here doesn't really help anything.

That's very well said and totally agree. I suspect there are better juices at other locations also. As for waiting on the juice to be made and shipped, I take that as part of the vaping experience if you want artisan type juice to your specifications. I do and sure do not mind the wait as long as it's fairly reasonable, like within 4-5 days until shipping.

I too think it a bit absurd to complain about how a company chooses to run their business. There are literally hundreds of e juice vendors at this point to choose from. When I first tried to order form Ahlusions they weren't accepting new accounts. So I waited a week and once I was able to get on (at around 2:30 in the afternoon) I ordered three flavors. Those three flavors are some of the best e juice I have tried and I have had and tried juice from many large as well as artisan vendors. I have since ordered 4 more. Their quality is incredible and worth the hassle. If you want instant gratification for a 24 hour a day 7 day a week vendor that ships 10 minutes after you order there are many to choose from, but in my experience if you want really satisfying and delicious vapes then you have to be patient. Amazing how little of that there is anymore.

Dear Comrade Aubergine,

No worries.

Comrades Pyotr and Mikail have been sent off to amuse themselves harmlessly on the barricades, while Lucy Parsons and I have joyfully liberated the First International Anarchist Joose Cooperative. Orders are now shipping out faster than you can say "Tierra y Libertad!" (which in my case is pretty fast, since I am an excellent linguist).


More sincerely than all you clowns put together,
Emma

NO! Ahlusion is not worth any "grief." There are much more easily accessible vendors out there, like MBV, for this type of juice searching. MBV will gladly accept you as a customer anytime of any day and they are always open--like White Castle, not like some hoighty-toighty restaurant that only a few privileged individuals are able to get reservations at. For anyone reading this thread on the fence about Ahlusion, I would say look elsewhere. If you already know what's up, then you already know exactly what I am getting at. NO vendor is worth grief, which is why I avoid those type of vendors at all costs! Vape on.

I did notice that Ahlusion came in 2nd overall in votes for the best vendor/juice, despite everything:

Except they let in anyone who shows up on time.

I tried them awhile back. I suppose tastes are subjective. I thought it tasted like they poured VG into an ashtray, let it sit for days and bottled it. Pure nasty. Luckily, someone scooped it up from the classies.

Have you tried Ahlusion's Chocolate and Cheese?

Yeah... I get a hint of kaiser bun too... their pork egg roll and cheese is great too

 

[DoogieTony]

The naturally extracted maple glazed meatloaf was mindblowing.........but totally not worth the grief...
