That doesn't bother me, personally. I'm far more interested in the quality and value of the juice. Most flavorings are "illicit" in that they are banned, such as clove and vanilla in regards to tobacco cigarettes. I don't think that PR for mj flavored juice is going to be any worse than bubble gum flavored juice as far as the community is concerned.
Thank you, I had a long response typed up for this, but my computer restarted and I never re-wrote it, also mine was much more harshly worded...
I agree, if this flavor is "illicit" then so is every flavor except the tobacco flavors since flavored cigarettes are illegal...
I have to say, James really helped me out when I started out vaping 8-9 months ago. I got my Blu and decided within a couple of days I really needed a 510 but, didn't want to wait for shipping. I recommend him to people new to vaping since he's local and inexpensive, he'll take the time to help figure out what's best for them, he takes care of his warranty replacements in person, and he's a super nice guy...
As for recommendations: I really like his blueberry myself, a very true to the fruit flavor, not a candy version. All his fruit flavors are really true to the fruit, not overly sweet.
But also, if you're looking for a flavor you can't find anywhere (a certain candy or something), talk to him, he'll probably try to make it for you (that 'illicit' flavor was a request). My next order from him will almost definitely include his new marlboro clone, I know he's been working on it for months at the request of several people (including myself), who couldn't find a good 'burning' tobacco flavor.
