What makes Ahlusion juices "higher quality" than most other vendors?

Yes, most of the flavors I have tried from them are good to delicious, and I have started to order more and more from them, but I have heard many people say that their ejuices are very high quality so I assumed they used all natural ingredients or something, but I checked their website and it says they use artificial flavors as well. So what makes their ingredients so much better than everyone elses, and does anyone know which of their flavors use all natural flavorings and which don't?

In e-juice, perception is quality. There is really nothing that defines the descriptor apart from personal taste. IMHO, it's important to do your own legwork when it comes to juices (try as many as possible) because no one's taste replicates your own. As far as "natural," it in no way connotes flavor quality. Just my thoughts.

I think part of it is that they do use a variety of flavorings... some in house... some designer or pre-made... they make their own nets... they have different absolutes and flavorings... I think they aspire to bring something unique to the marketplace...

Their Base and nic is incredibly clean... no proof, but I'd wager they don't use the cheap vg/pg or cheap nic...

When I DIY, I get my nic from xtremevaping and I notice a big difference from their nic versus wizard labs or RTS... it's also around 3x more expensive... but worth it to me... I know a small handful of vendors that pay significantly more to get bette pg/vg/nic...

No proof, but I bet ahlusion gives us the better stuff.

Their juices perform well in a variety of devices...

They have some really unique flavors...

Those are my guesses...

I don't buy from them a lot... mostly because I am into other stuff... but I would consider their juices among the highest quality... and again... to me... quality means performance, flavors, inspiration -

but as someone said earlier.... your own perception does have a lot to do with it

I use Ahlusion extensively. If you go on their website you will find quite a bit of information about the company and their eliquids. I think around 80% of their flavors they extract themselves. They also have a lab where flavors are mixed by computer so you are getting a consistent bottle of liquid each time you order.

Most of their juice does need time to steep and the time depends upon your tastes and the flavor. They suggest opening the bottle for 5 minutes and then shaking daily. I taste mine when I get it and then once a week until it is right for me. It is worth the wait.

I order 2 60ml bottles of Smooth Criminal from them at a time for one of two of my ADV's. My other go to vendor now is Nicoticket. I really like how Ahlusion gives you a free sample 10ml of liquid with a $20 plus order. You can get a sample of most but not all of their juice. Plus 3 weeks after your order they send you a 15% coupon code that is good for 15 days.

From order to in your mailbox is about 6-8 days depending on how busy they are. This is coast to coast which is pretty good in my book.

When the head of the company is both a flavorist and a chemist, it's a good start. Having dealt with him, his passion for achieving genuine flavor is quite clear. I was impressed by the secure lab facility and practices I observed at their location.

Cherry flavored liquid is a good example. Most any cherry flavors I've tried come off as artificial, and more like a cough drop. Ahlusion uses their own cherry extract and the flavor is exactly what I think a cherry liquid should taste like - fresh cherries.

It's their fancy dark blue bottles. That's what separates them:laugh: Their mixes are rich and mouthy and also very very good. I believe the most favored juices have a ton of flavor in them by that I mean a minimum of 40% flavor.

Unless you have seen this (in which case I am wrong), I would like to add that I highly doubt this. When flavoring e-juice, most of the time, less is more. 40% flavoring would usually cause a juice to go tasteless, or taste very bad at best. I DIY and in even my most complex blends, I am pushing 25% tops!

Maybe, but I like to buy "natural" quality first, even if it doesn't taste as good. For instance, with the real juice you drink, I only buy juice that says 100% juice(although they usually have an apple juice base), and then worry about taste after that. I don't care if the 5-50% stuff tastes better. It may be sort of an oxymoron that I would want healthier, all natural ingredients for something that's not healthy to begin with but that's what I would buy. It would be nice if Ahlusion or some other vendor who claims they have high quality ingredients, put the percentage of all natural flavors and extracts on their webpage for everyone to see and compare. I think people have no problem paying more, if they know for sure they are paying for all natural ingredients, not just anecdotal claims of quality.
