As much as I would love to try many different vendors, I have ZERO desire to even visit a site for consideration if they gon't have some kind of serious tobacco presence. It doesn't even have to be an extract, but there has to be some "line" or set of juices that seem to not just be afterthoughts, but a real focused approach. As much as I love Ahlusion's OLE!, I realized this morning that I haven't vaped it in probably 4-5 days, not because it isn't good, it's just that I need those leaves to not make me feel so naked or without. (Eleanor should appreciate that statement. ;))


No not fig leaves, tobacco leaves.

Tea leaves work pretty darn well too, as long as they're from Ahlusion. :D This doggone Caramel Pear Black Tea is getting stuck to my lips! (And to think I had low expectations of it . . .!) :)

I'm expecting Ahlusion and GeJ today. Probably within the next hour. Prepping my attys right now...

Oh, and to answer your earlier question, EleanorR, I have Black Pomegranate and Boba Teas coming, amongst other new stuff. Caramel Pear Black sounded a tad too sweet to me at the time. This is going to be interesting.

The CPB is a little sweet, but only a little. I can actually taste the pear and the black tea distinctly -- these Ahlusion juices are beautifully "layered" !

P.S. -- I believe the teas all have ETOH in them (it's on the website, under each flavor description), so a 48-hr off-cap steep is definitely in order. :)

Wlad told me that the juices are mixed and bottled within ten seconds (must be some high-tech, automated equipment) and the environment is a controlled air, lab setting. Literally, the steep does not start until you open the bottle and expose it to normal air/elements. The steep is pretty quick, but like E said, 48 hrs cap-off should do the trick. Anymore time after the first 48 and the cap can be on.

Hey there Ahlusion fans,

I like dessert and fruit flavors, and teas. If you could only have two Ahlusion juices from those categories, which would you buy? I'd like to give them a try and want to start from the top. Also, I am 45 minutes from their Swartz Creek Michigan Cafe. Can I go there and try some samples to get an idea of what I like? Thanks in advance..

Seriously? I believe that would be 90 mins of drive time well spent.

Hmmm- I got 5 ranging from ole, ginger apple tea, some melon frost, maple cream? And car mel mambo? They all smell great- but I am trusting you experts and steeping for at least 3 days before trying any.
Luckily I had rawr ( new to me) came at the beginning of the week and hhv ( also new to me) come around the middle of the week.
I finally tried 2 rawr today and 1 hhv....;)

Hey y'all, I'm totally new yet truly committed. I've read every post on this thread and I realize just how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to learn from this vast pool of experience. Aside from a few vendors that have been unavailable, due to popular demand and or business transitions, I have all I'll need (and hopefully all I'll want) for the next year. Actually, I know I'm gonna want to try more but these are the vendors I've settled on so far. I'm going to list them how I think they will end up after all the juices have steeped and I've tried them all (again). #1 HHV (Gandalf and 4 samples. So much flavor) #2 Copper Creek (House Blend! Glass bottle and free samples. Pure class!) #3 Ahlusion (Amazingly accurate flavors. Can't wait to try their WTA aromatic tobaccos) #4 Aroma (WTA baby!) #5 BWB (Hunters Blend and Casablanca) I also sampled from Halo, TVR, ECB and Highbrow. I'm waiting for my GoodeJuice and I ordered a couple jugs from NLV the other day. (So cheap plus all the hype) I might get some Boba's Bounty when AVE opens up again and then I hope I can stop! It's been a lot of fun though! Thanks y'all.

Wow! Can I come over? LOL

I think Boba's is good, but I sort of have a love hate relationship with it. I love that it is a perfectly vapable juice, but I hate that so many think it is God's gift to vaping...it ain't that good. I think it is awesome that you have followed along and ended up where you have. Welcome.

I'm kind of the same way. I love me some Boba's, it's one of my favorites, but all these people on the forum crying because AVE still hasn't reopened and they're "OUT OF BOBA'S!" I just don't get. There's plenty of other great juices out there.

Well, I also stocked up before they closed and I'm not "OUT OF BOBA'S!" so maybe I just can't relate. ;)

I have always believed that Boba's smells great, but it doesn't always perform up to snuff, err, sniff. HAHAHA. It's good, but I think Pbusardo got a lot of people hooked on the notion that Boba's is the apex of vaping. I also believe that nothing is like Boba's, but nothing is like Gandalf, Tobacco Haze, Paris, or Blue Grass Burley etc., but that doesn't mean that any of those are the best just because they seem to have flavor profiles that are not duplicated. I will get off of Boba's back, it's just one of my pet peeves. Maybe I will vape some to settle me down. :blush:
