Hey guys and gals,
I was doing to thinking here this morning and decided to share my experience with all the different vendors I have tried and how I rate their products. I promise to do my best to keep this interesting and with half-way readable. I am not going to comment too much on pricing or flavours unless note worthy.
My Setup:
Stainless steel Vamo. Boge carto 2.0/3.0. VV tank.
------------
Copper Creek:
Shipping: Fast. Did not keep me waiting.
Customer Service: Good, included a 5ml free sample, I also liked that the owner himself commented on my post about his products.
Products: Good to Excellent. Seemed to be of high quality and I really enjoyed the flavours I ordered. Got even better with steeping. Came in glass bottles with droppers. (selectable option)
Juices: House blend, Blueberry, Pumpkin Pie, & 5ml danish sample. All 12mg 60pg/40vg
Other comments: Overall a really great vendor that I would order from again. The pumpkin pie really knocked my socks off.
Heather Heavenly Vapes:
Shipping: Moderate. You do have to wait about a 5-7 days for them to make your order before it ships.
Customer Service: Average. No complaints but nothing amazing. No free samples included.
Products: Good to moderate. I find that most of what I order had to be steeped but once it did it really was excellent. I like that they offer a sample pack. Plastic bottles.
Juices: Legend (gandalf), Double D Watermellon, Waffles (extra butter and maple syrup). I ordered three sample packs from them but this is mainly what I vape from them. 12mg 70pg/30vg.
Other Comments: This was the first vendor I ordered from and I still find myself browsing and drooling as I browse their catalogue.
Ahlusion:
Shipping: Slow. I had to wait over a month to get my order.
Customer Service: Poor. First of all I will say that their site mentions that you should contact them before you place your first order for suggestions and help. I did that twice with no response. Their site also mentions 3-5 business day processing, then why did it take a month to get to me. Furthermore I contacted Alhusion about my order and again received no response. Lastly, their store closes so if you want to order something after you get off work you better forget about it. I did like how they let you pick your free sample but otherwise poor experience with Ahlusion.
Products: Good to moderate. flavours needed steeping to actually have any taste. I liked how customisable their juices are. Plastic bottles.
Juices: Tarte Tatin (sweetened Apple), Vurly, Chai Latte, Wipeout honeydew.(breeze). 12mg 70pg/30vg.
Other Comments: It is too bad that I has such a bad experience with Ahlusion. I really enjoyed their flavors with the exception of Vurly which is the worst flavour I have ever tasted. They also seemed to be kinda of expensive for what I got. I would not recommend Ahlusion or be ordering from them again.
Mt Baker Vapor:
Shipping: Lightning. I placed an order on Thursday and got it by Saturday.
Customer Service: Excellent. Their site has an option to speak to a live representative The person I spoke to was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction and then offered me a discount on my order. Loved the 15ml free sample. Really awesome!
Products: Moderate to Good. I felt that some of their flavours seemed a little cheap, but on the other side some of their flavours seems of very nice quality. Some flavours needed heavy steeping for sure. Overall I was happy with their juices even if I felt like some vendors had a better quality juice.
Juices: Moo Juice, Hawk Sauce, Extreme Ice, Banana nut bread, Cinnamon Roll, Grappler, Butterscotch, Solar Flare, Ecto Cooler.
Other Comments: Great vendor, very impressed, and definitely the best vendor as far as a business model that I have seen. You cant beat their prices.
Alien Visions E-juice:
Shipping: Moderate. Not lightning fast but didn't keep me waiting.
Customer Service. Moderate. No negatives but no positives. No free sample included.
Products. Good to moderate. I did not like how you cant customise your juice to your liking. They had predetermined pg and vg levels. The stickers on the bottles seems really really cheap. One label even fell off. Needed lots of steeping to be decent.
Juices. Bees Knees, Boba's Bounty, Hype.
Other Comments: I was not blown away by AVE, I felt like I spent a lot of money of a whole lot of nothing special. Not saying at all that they are crap, but nothing special here. Boba's bounty sure didn't live up to the hype it received either.
Backwoods Brew:
Shipping: Moderate. Did not keep me waiting but wished it would of been a little faster.
Customer Service: No complaints, nothing supernatural. No free sample included
Products: Moderate to poor. Was not impressed with this vendors juices. They tasted really cheap like something I got at the gas station for 2 dollars. Not able to customise pg/vg rating. There was a quite a little hype about this vendor and just don't see it. Plastic bottles.
Juices: Malty Toffee, 555 Exotic, Casablanca. 12mg pg/vg unknown.
Other Comments: As I stated I was not really too impressed with their products, I remember feeling pretty disappointed.
Alice in Vapeland:
Shipping. Slow. Took about 3 weeks to get my order.
Customer Service: moderate to good. No complaints. Lots of nice touches on their packaging. Their site mentions 10-12 days to process, which is about right. Kind of a buzz kill having to wait so long.
Products: Good to Excellent. Lots of nice touches here as I mentioned. The packaging includes nice some artwork and the bottles have some nice trinkets to make them look nice. The flavours never felt cheap or gimmicky. Overall some nice quality products here. Nice glass bottles (selectable option).
Juices: Cherry blossom tea. A little of everything sample pack. 11mg pg/vg unknown. Cherry blossom tea is the other one I liked out of all their juices. Too sickeningly sweet or has no flavuor at all.
Other comments: No real complaints here other then it takes a really long time to get your stuff. Really like the extra little things that make you feel like they took the time to make your juicy just for you.
Winner?
Two-way tie: Copper Creek, Mt Baker Vapor.
Why? Mt baker offers decent product for very reasonable and lightning fast shipping. If I have 20 dollars burning a hole in my pocket and I want to stock up. Mt baker all day long. However; If I want a really nice quality product that doesnt take an eternity to ship and for a reasonable price. Copper creek all day long.
In a nut shell Copper creek and Mt Baker Vapor just offers the best quality product and service for my cash. So how can I choose? I Dont! I choose both.
Who is your favorite?
Thanks so much for you time guys, hope you enjoyed my review.
