Ordered juice from a dealer on the forum after reading reviews. I ordered 50% VG and got something with water consistency. There is no way this is 50% VG, unless the other half is just water. And naturally it's a carto/atomizer killer. I've considered giving a review, but seeing other users get vilified over bad juice reviews (that of course I didn't see before I ordered. Murphy's Law of buying on the internet, I swear.) with the company has made me decide to just chalk it up to lesson learned. I'm guessing I'm not the only one when it comes to this vendor. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who's ever received whatever this stuff is.
I've made another order with a different company and am using juice I had for an emergency. Naturally, it is seriously minty and not a good all day vape, but it does the job. It may not be my favorite, but it was made with quality. Only 20% VG but still thicker than the 50% VG "juice" I've been subjected to. You figure that one out. I'm currently using it in a carto that's definitely past it's time and needed to be tossed but I refuse to open another carto after losing 4 in the two days with the mystery juice (thought I had a couple of bad cartos, I didn't), knowing that whatever one I use will be tossed because it will be forever minty.
On top of the bad juice order, I have a package I'm fairly sure is lost somewhere. It wasn't a big order thankfully, just a replacement 510 battery but it's still aggravating. It's been in the mail system for 10 days now. As far as scans goes, it's been stuck in the same place for 9 of the past 10 days. I called the post office, but they don't consider this a problem until it's been gone past 14 days and they were quick to remind me that it wasn't actually "tracking" but delivery confirmation and delivery times aren't guaranteed. Yeah, I got that people but since the scan is there why can't you use the information to locate it? I have to wait another 4 days and for what?
I'm aggravated that I'm the one that has to just be out the money and "learn a lesson". I would have no issue being patient with the process of locating the package if I knew that if it wasn't found, I wouldn't lose money. (Why do vendors not offer insurance I wonder? I'm sure there's a reason I don't understand, just not sure what it is!)
My lesson learned is that everything I order is at my own risk. I pay and hope to heck it doesn't get lost because then I'm left having paid for something I won't receive. And I get to talk to snotty USPS customer service agent who seems to enjoy telling me I'm up crap creek like some kind of cautionary tale. Silly me, thinking that when something is mailed it's assumed that it is meant to be received by someone. LOL
Next lesson, I'm willing to pay more for quality service and juice. And in larger quantities. No more trying this place or that because of a sale price, etc. I'm done with that. This last order of "water juice" goes to show me that not all juice vendors are created equal, and "cheap" doesn't mean "good". Heck yes, it was cheap! What a deal! Too bad it's also too thin to have any use. I'm serious, I call it water juice because I'm pretty sure that it was watered down. Bah.
And on top of all my vaping misadventures this week, my city is snowed in. Great. I wonder how THAT is going to affect the delivery of my good old stand by juices? I don't even want to think about it. Ugh.
The silver lining here is that I haven't even considered picking up a cigarette. That is so far removed from who I am at this point that it hasn't even been a consideration. And at least I had some back up juice hanging around the house.
