oh wow.......shame we didn't have any winners. Reckin we need to enter even if we think someone else has already beaten us to it. :) I do wish this was a random drawing from all correct entries rather than who is first. I think it would be more fair to those who work during the day. What do y'all think about that? It may be something vapin doesn't want to do, dunno. But thought I'd just toss it out there as an idea

I got my juice over the weekend, I have only tried one so far and it is amazing, vaping on it now actually. Can't wait to try the rest of them, they smell amazing

Did you get the premade juice? Which did you get? I have been curious about them. :)

Would love to hear your thoughts on them.

The contest will run through Thursday night and the winner announced on Friday afternoon. You are playing for a 90% off coupon for up to $150. Good Luck and enjoy!
