Steep my Ahlusion?

If I were to try one fresh out of the bottle, it would be Pineapple Cream.
I generally steep most all of my Ahlusion juices a few weeks. If you'd mentioned something like Smooth Criminal, I'd say six weeks minimum steep.
I have Orient Whisper steeping right now - I didn't taste it FOOB, so I don't know if it would have been good to go straight out or not.
If you do taste, and don't like it - just set it aside and forget about it for a couple weeks, then re-visit.
Congrats on your first Ahlusion purchase!

if these were 50/50 blend I do 2 weeks on each of these
the 100% vg takes longer I haven't done it but I've seen a few posts that said much longer
IDK but If I guessed Id try them at a month
Good catch, I missed the 100% VG. Yes, it may take longer to steep.
You'll need to open all of the bottles from Ahlusion for 5-10 minutes to let some air in, otherwise they won't begin to steep. The way they are processed they don't get enough air to begin aging.
Claude ha'mercy! Yes, it will. But, if the OP is one who needs high VG, then it shouldn't be a problem. I am kicking myself for unwittingly purchasing 30 mL of a 90% VG liquid when I wanted 70% PG. Oh well, it was me on fault!
I am not sure if the max VG liquids will change much even in the mid-to-long run -- I'd say go for it.
Hi! My first Smooth Criminal I purchased at 90 VG and it took forever to come around and the fine folks at Ahlusion agreed that my error was why I wasn't feeling the magic as quickly as others.
I knew it was going to be good when it came around, so went ahead and bought 60 mls at 50/50 to start the steeping cycle while I still had the original. When the 90 came around, it was as good as people said (you in particular.)

My feelings about Ahlusion's FOOB the box were "why did I buy into the hype, nothing special here.'
After 3 weeks of steeping I fell in love, hard. I have got one that was good FOOB and that was Lemon Cream. I can not speak about the high VG, I can speak about how much they change in a few weeks.

Ha! I had the same experience when I got my first order.

I agree and there are days I leave the cap off for a hour as I forgot it was off. Air and shaking the juice is the key to steeping. I shake it first, remove cap, and after replacing cap shake again.
You did? Really?! That's unbelievable! I didn't feel that way until my second order!
I think I remember reading a post way back when you weren't really impressed with Ahlusion, and now you're practically their ambassador!

Don't know about ambassador, but I am vociferous about good liquid. On my first order I was in love and wanted everyone to know, but my second order I was in shock and stated it for the sake of honesty! But, in both instances I said how I felt. And also, the owner of Ahlusion made right by one of the liquids in the order that tasted off -- he didn't have to do that, but he did. Gotta love it.
Now, as to the high VG liquids, I could've just ordered a high PG and re-mixed it, but I never got around to it. It's something about Ahl's ratio dropdown that I don't jive well with. Maybe it should be all laid out so you can just check one and see it more clearly? Maybe I just need to pay more attention to what I am doing?
My first order was (mistakenly) all high VG mixes. Some of that stuff didn't taste good to me for five months! But it all was delicious eventually.
If they didn't reverse the ratios -- VG/PG instead of the usual PG/VG -- I think there would be many fewer mistakes like that. But I don't think they ever will.

That's what got me. I mistakenly thought it defaulted to the recommended blend.

I usually get my Ahlusion juices in 70VG and I tend to let them steep for at least 3-4 weeks before trying them. I tend to be a little bit overzealous about my steeping but it works for me.
I think "overzealous" doesn't quite sync up with your situation -- I'd say you are just methodical. Or maybe you're overzealous.
Whatever. You have good taste in liquid, so I think all else is just how you fine-tune your vaping-life.- Status
