If you want some of those apparent menthol bottles, I'm more than happy to send them to you. PM me you shipping info. They're 3ml bottles bottles but it's ship them or dump them. Not fond of dumping them.
Thanks! Been so long since I've bought premade juice I'm completely out of the loop. Makes sense now that I think about it.
May be back but there's almost nothing there to gloat about. A crumbling end to a dynasty. Unless they have a last trick up their sleeve, they pretty much shafted their loyal base.
Sure they discounted the 2.5 to $20. What they didn't tell anyone was they were blems and defects. The first one I got has zero draw, despite channels on the outer top-cap. Atty too close to the pin?
The second has no channels but draws fine.
Its problem is that I have to insert the battery an average of three times to get it to connect. Why the third time and not the first? Customer service here I come.
Well, I did buy 10 of the ProVari minis on the Specials page at different times this past summer, each one clearly stated that it was a "blem." I did get a Pearl White one that had the same battery connection problem as you, Tutu. Think I picked it up for $30 at the time, but they had no problem fixing it for me under warranty. Was sent and back in a week. Out of the other 9 minis, I believe I found 2 blemishes and all worked fine from the getgo.
I bought two 2.5s (I had them upgraded to the P3 flat top), one Classic and two P3 in 2016. All of them were purchased at blem pricing, are picture perfect and functioned like they should. I did buy the Ghost White 60 watt Radius too when they had their 20% off sale on BF/CM.
I did send back my very first ProVari 2.5 that I purchased back in September of 2013 last year. It was working however I would get premature battery warnings when the battery still had quite a bit of charge left. When I sent it in ProVape replaced the chip and cleaned the ProVari. I had the P3 flat top installed at that time.

I did get a free 30ml bottle of a menthol one last order I think I'll try to thin down to my mg tolerance. One of the free samples is a tobacco and the other I have no clue. Frostie York, whatever that is. Anyway, they are sitting here, would adore dumping the on someone else.
I also received some samples last year that I never tried. I seem to recall they were mostly tobaccos.
I bought two of the 2.5 minis for 20 and if they're blems I can't find it and mine are working perfectly one is a month old and one is a week old.If you want some of those apparent menthol bottles, I'm more than happy to send them to you.

Yay...Tony (vaper trail channel) used my bottle cap idea for tank holders!
So Hohmtech, after refunding my money after a month of back and forth, fixed my hohmwrecker g2 that arrived doa for $8.
Not bad, a G2 for $8. SCORE

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one with the connection problem, sorry you had to go through it, it's nice to know I'm not losing my mind.
It was the middle of the night when I posted and blew off a little to much steam. Husband has the flu and was snoring, in between coughing and wheezing, all night. What I'm really sore, and sad, about is all the people losing their jobs because of state and FDA BS. Then there's the whole thing about people believing the lies and exagerations who will never try vaping...
See below about blems.
I need to find the old samples for Bea but yes, I was getting two small bottles at a time and at least one in every batch was tobacco. I didn't realize tobacco flavor was that popular, especially when all you read about is cotton candy a gummy bear flavored ecigs.
So I won the lottery twice in a row?
I have a herd of blems and I've found them exactly twice (barring the last two). One was red spot the size of a pinprick on a glovari (took me a month to notice it) and the other was a tiny scratch on the inside of the tube. They're pretty picky.So Hohmtech, after refunding my money after a month of back and forth, fixed my hohmwrecker g2 that arrived doa for $8.

That was a lot of work for $8!
Oh gosh, Tutu. Those are all pretty good reasons to be ticked off just by themselves. Then to add the problem of a ProVari going wrong........Why the whole danged world is upside down! 
Well, considering I had paid over $50... I wouldn't consider an email every couple days until paypal took over lots of work
It's an evil plot I tell you.
That's actually no lie on the vaping front. Can't make the flip side vaping related, though I did vape through the whole thing, we got over a foot of rain this past week and our snow pack went from anemic to 161% of normal. 
Live in California in one of the hardest hit drought areas so that is big news to us. At least those of us not underwater. Well, considering I had paid over $50... I wouldn't consider an email every couple days until paypal took over lots of work
I read the saga, it's a shame you went through it and certainly worse than what Granny and I had happen, but forgot about the initial cost. My comment was a bad attempt at humor. I really dislike places that try to run you through the wringer like they did. You done good and glad it eventually worked out in your favor.
Did somebody yell fire in here and I slept through it or did you all just deliberately sneak out while I was distracted? Joke's over, come back.
Do hope everyone is okay and no one suffered and damage or hardship from all the various storms.
Still around, still vaping, still recovering. We 'baby sat' the 2 year old grandson for a couple days this week. That surely limits the time on-line and leaves us worn out. Back to our 'old folk' routine today, a 2 year old has a lot of energy. Shwew!

Saw a bit of that on the news last night, glad you're not underwater!! Hope that snowpack takes a long time to melt...
We were just having this conversation last night about the good ole' days of television. 'I Love Mama'; Alfred Hitchcock Presents'; 'Dragnet' (Joe Friday); gosh, and so many more.
Oops: sorry, wrong porch!
Well, 2 days ago I had caught up, had my multi quotes in the box and had started answering them when I had to stop to go to an appt at the pain clinic. Today I finished answering them, click save draft, refreshed, and a few of you on phones will be happy to know they poofed.
Sorry hubby is sick again. Jup! It sickens all of us that many may not ever get the chance to try vaping, and like you said, those that might have..... won't cuz of the lies. In response to Diver I think being stocked up, and LB saying she never thought it would come to this.........none of us did. It's great for those who are stocked up, but still sickens all of us for those who will be left out in the cold. It was unreal the way they persecute smokers. Some places won't hire ya, rent to ya etc, the taxes, the health insurance all those things..... you'd think they'd love vapers. But noooooooo. just goes to show how really screwed up the gov't is. Not that we need more proof. Once again I missed a sorta nearby showing of A Billion Lives. I really wanna see all the crap that he uncovered, and it was in Waco (45 mins from here) for one day. But turns out my son had concert tickets for the same day so no transportation. For some reason my dil doesn't want me driving her car.
Nuttin likes Gary.....cept us.....and we love him!Must not like you ... works for me.
Yippee!Yay...Tony (vaper trail channel) used my bottle cap idea for tank holders!
Double yippee!!So Hohmtech, after refunding my money after a month of back and forth, fixed my hohmwrecker g2 that arrived doa for $8.

I got a 2 year old great granddaughter. I'm looking after her for a week since GD has been called up by the Guard to do traffic duty at the Inauguration. Also going to have her during the week this coming semester while GD is at college. I'm taking the late shift during that time so I'm available for babysitting during the day. I'll be at it 7 am until midnight Mon to Fri. Don't expect to be doing much time on-line either. Working in the evening will be the easy part.
edit: I'll be vaping all the time though.
sorry to worry ya. I've had 3 days of Dr appts and tests. Another MRI yesterday bout did me in. It is soooooo painful to lay that way for so long. Got through it by thinking of vaping@Debadoo I'm glad to see you! I hadnt seen you since Monday on Kawfee and started worrying
Came close to losing my Reo though. Had set it down on a table by the chair I was sitting in while I filled out a form. Totally forgot it til I was in the dressing room and had changed into the gown and booties. Wasn't gonna walk out like that, but I snagged a worker who was bringing someone else back to change, told her what it looked like and where it was.......apologized to the lady for grabbing her escort. She went and got it for me. Thank goodness. I panicked when I realized I'd left it out there.Wow, don't envy you. Hope your GD stays safe and really has fun during the traffic duty. Regardless of how anyone feels about any particular person taking office......that is truly a moment in history and she's right there being a part of it! That's so kewl! What is she studying? Can't say I care for this person being Pres, but I sure do hope they'll at least reign in the FDA on a lot of things.....but especially the deeming! I hope Aaron can get him somehow to watch A Billion Lives.
