I'm the one who asked DV to create a cranberry+tobacco juice; alas, I don't care for it as much as I do some of his other juices!

I've always gotten the Vanilla tobacco in Extra Flavor (and love it!), but I think next round I'm going to order it in Regular strength (Ted will probably e-mail me to make sure I didn't "forget" to get Extra! :p). I think I may be losing my taste for sweets! :ohmy:

What is up with it (CT)?

I was thinking about mixing Applebacco and Vanilla Tobacco...hmmm...sounds good to me. Just gotta get some first (Applebacco).

The reason is simple, but not quite understood as this is unique to Ahlusion, so I'll explain it as best as possible here. Every customer who has provided specific feedback in regards to their e-liquids, has a unique flavor profile. This consists of a bunch of numbers and algorightms that make up the flavor profile used by our mixing software. Say for instance that customer A's flavor profile inducates that she likes sour or bitter flavors, then all recipes for that customer will be modified accordingly. I mention recipes because by using flavor profiles, every customer essentially has his or her own recipes. This is the very simplified way of explaining this, but there's a lot more involved in the backend.

This is one reason to never expect the exact same flavors from an e-liquid received as a sample. To date we have over 700 unique flavor profiles and not one is identical to the other.

This is one reason why we send feedback requests after every order; it is to determine YOUR flavor profile and to make e-liquids the way YOU want it. It's the Ahlusion difference!" Wlad[/COLOR]

While this is very exciting for new flavors tried but not tested elsewhere first, it is a little disappointing when you have tried an Ahlusion flavor that belongs to someone else. I mean, when bukket brought samples for me to try, my ordering decisions would be based on what the flavor I tested tasted like. I would be very disappointed if the liquid I ordered was not what I had tried. I suppose if it was a first order and there was no previous profile for me it might taste like the liquid I had test dripped. But if Bukket had a previous profile and hers, obviously, would not be like mine, would the flavor the same? I guess what I am suggesting here is that friends often share. It's a little disconcerting to think that if I ordered what I thought would be the same juice I tried it might come back tasting differently. Did that make sense? It's late here LOL

Yes it does make sense GlacierBabe. I voiced a similar concern and MrMann wasn't gentle. :evil: :D I can imagine where wires could get crossed in any vendors system. I remember(from one of these threads) ElenorR? wondering if her favorite vendor would contact her and question whether she forgot to order extra flavors if she reorders. But any way. I noticed today, in my Ahlusion order, the bottle of Strawberry Vanilla Cake(yumm) :) has 'Extra Strawberry' written on the computer generated label. Wow!
Ahlusion is a great co. but I think we're still going to have to keep in mind how we order(or have ordered) our juices.

Hi GB! Red Tail Vapor line Dark Honey tobacco. yummmmmmmmmmmm she says looking at 40 ml of the stuff. Verdict is still out for me regarding the properties of WTA actually reducing the desire for those other parts of the smoking experience though.

Don't even get me started.

Hi Glacier! Yes. Just this week I received my first order from Aroma. I can definitely taste and feel a difference from non-WTA juices. I ordered mostly from their VG based Red Tail line (which can have up to 20% PG, as I recall from asking them.) I also tried a couple other WTA that apparently have waaaaaay too much PG (for me.) Of the flavors I tried, Dark Honey Tobacco was my fav. G.I. Joe was good too but I mixed it with my VG nic juice before I vaped it, and even though "diluted" the flavor is nice. I'm still analyzing these, but so far I notice that I don't chain-vape WTA flavors the way I do other jucies.

Thank you Thank you! Finally someone mentioned ECBlends!! I'm new to the whole vaping game and just ordered from them...was starting to wonder if I'd made a mistake:unsure: Do you like them?

EcBlends gets mentioned quite a bit in here on people's lists, but maybe not for chatter.

I ordered their RY4 and a coulple Dragon vapes and I enjoyed them. They get better with age and there is better out there but ECBlends worked for me.

Ya, if this wasn't MMs thread you probably wouldn't have even got a one liner about ECB. Still, there are a lot of long time vapers that started and continue to order from ECB because of their good quality and great prices. Good luck!

Just a note- Heathers Heavenly Vapes has jumped onto the top 5 for me - in that everything I have tried from them (I just received my 1st order from them a little over a week ago)- has been totally true to the description.... Plenty of flavor and vapor and clean crisp vapes so far.... still holding out to try the 5 ahlusion flavs that are steeping....

This just in...

I have been in talks with Wlad and I have the green light to further inform on this. Any person that orders from Ahlusion receives an email asking :

"You placed an order (xxxxx) on ?/?/2012 with Ahlusion and we would love to hear your feedback! This is in an effort to continually improve on the quality of our products. We ask for direct feedback as it helps us to create better e-liquids for you. Every customer has a flavor profile and we populate that profile based on the feedback you give us. Your specific flavor profile is used on future orders and in this case, helps us to prepare e-liquids unique to your preferences. Please note that feedback is not the same as a public review; feedback involves specific details on the e-liquids or flavors such as likes, dislikes, or other flavor specific perceptions and effects sent directly to us. Of course, you are still welcome to share your thoughts publicly - good or bad! If you write a public review all we ask for is your honest experience.


Any feedback would be appreciated and as a thank you for your effort, here is a 15% coupon valid for 10 days to use on your next purchase: xxxxxxxxxxx"


Okay, so here is the deal: Most people do not respond to this email, read it, or take it to heart (even though it contains a 15% coupon good for 10 days after receipt). Anyone that does go through these extra steps and subsequently has an order placed that is tailor made should be thrilled! However, if by some chance you or anyone ends up with a second-hand bottle, a new system is being implemented that provides codes on all the labels. If you want to re-order a juice that you didn't actually buy and want it to be the exact same, all you have to do is provide that code (from the label) and/or the customers last name and the bottle you choose to order will come exactly like that one. Any concerns? There really is no issue here. Now, wasn't that painless? ;)

p.s. If you currently have a bottle from Ahlusion and it doesn't yet have a code on it, just provide the last name of the person that originally ordered it. If you found it on the street in an unmarked bottle, well, you're s.o.l.

I ordered some samples from Purevapes last week, just moved so I haven't had a chance to get on a computer or come to this forum. I notice that Purevapes is not really on the radar as much as other vendors, so I'll say it here if it hasn't already been said. His juices are REALLY good! They're well priced, he has sample sizes, lots of customization options, and got to my house lightning fast! And I've tried a good handful of vendors and not easily pleased it seems, so these juices are good!

I got the butterscotch cookie, gummy frogs, mango dreams, caramel cookie, cookie dough ice cream, and carrot cake in samples. Got a larger bottle of the lemon creme puff with extra flavor, tingly, and 2 spoonfuls of sweetener. The butterscotch cookie is fantastic!! The carrot cake is definitely one of the more unique flavors I've tried, it almost tastes like a deconstructed carrot cake, but it is very interesting in a good way. Gummy frogs taste just like the ones you can buy at the gas station, sweet, a little tart, slightly creamy (probably the white backs of the gummy?), and has a fun, almost chewy taste. The lemon creme puff is awesome! It's a light, airy vape, more lemon than cream or puff, but smooth with a hint of pastry at the end.
