I am with Vapenstein on that one but afraid I can tell you a worse story about being taken by someone in the community here in Canada.
I was buying juice, not even good juice I might add but I was too new to know better, at $20 for 30mls which in retrospect would not be worth $10 but I digress. I paid $20 for 2 and for $50 got 3. So 90 mls for $50. Ok, that's not the story but thats what I paid not knowing any better and although I consider that high, I wasnt being gauged.
But the store broke away from its parent company and decided to bring in juice they could charge $30 + for....... Buyer beware. I didnt know where else to go + I was new to Vaping so I called the store and they were completely out so I had no choice but to call the parent company which was a few provinces away from me.
I told them, understanding that I didn't know better, that I got 3 bottles for $50 and what could they do..........Yes, I kid you not, they offered to send me 9 bottles for $150 + tax + $20 shipping, which works out to 270 ml only. I paid, a few dollars short of $200. I didnt know what to do.........You would have thought that JUST MAYBE they might have said, hey, how about we do a bulk order, or give u a deal.......but they even had the audacity to charge me $20 shipping for 9 x 30 ml bottles which I paid just under $200 for.
I then somehow found my way to
Jugheads and suddenly a WHOLE other world opened up.
None of the juice I had vaped from that $200 order tasted even remotely as good as Jugheads. In fact I would say it was lucky if it was 5% as good as Jugheads
I dont know if i would have remained Vaping if I hadn't lucked into Jugheads and discovered what I did for when I did, it then snowballed. It would take too long of a post to explain what a bad experience I had from the beginning, before I knew what I was doing. It only fully ended weeks ago when I finally learned how to rebuild.
I am half responsible for a horrible beginning Vape experience. I never knew there was a community of Vapers. I never went to the web to discuss cigarettes, nor having the odd glass of red wine. So it never occurred to me to look on the internet for info. Had I found a group such as this forum in the beginning + Jughead, it would have been a far better experience.
I lay the other half of the blame on just dumb luck and the inexperience to know who to trust and listen to.
My absolute frustration peaked about 2 months ago, perhaps when I had listened to the wrong people and felt pretty stressed learning to rebuild.
Much of that stress came out with a thread I started somewhere on this forum asking for help on how to rebuild.
I was fortunate in having some very good people in this forum offer their advice for asking in various FaceBook groups I had encountered some pretty arrogant, superiority driven, braggart type individuals and was this close to packing it in for good.
But at the same time I came here and got help for the first time from decent Vapers, I came across JUGHEADS juice.
And the whole vaping experience opened up. But until I came here and ordered Jugheads juice I didnt know anyone that Vaped so I didnt have the luxury of friends that could show me and everything explained was theory without practice. People have a tendancy to say watch You Tube videos but in the beginning, I didnt find any of them helpful
But hee I found a forum whereby people really did want to help and didnt have ulterior motives nor passed judgment.
In any event, thats 1/2 of my horror newbie story but I am extremely grateful for Jugheads Juice for not only making, in my opinion, the most incredible Kapt. Krunch in existence (amongts others), but being very decent people and who this community for the most part represents, and offering extremely fair prices. Without discovering Jughead and from that snowballing into everything else, I believe I would either have gone back to smoking indefinitely so turned off by what I had encountered, or at the very least not come back for some time.
Now I have been free of cigarettes again for about 3 months and am now in control of what I am doing and am no longer at the whim of childish Facebook Vaping groups and/or very highschoolish cliquish behaviour and the poor advice and/or judgmental comments that seems to flourish in such groups. Reddit is another one I find like that but never once in this forum....far too many that thrive on rude behaviour......so along with ECF and Jughead (the owners themselves) I am a very grateful Vaper today! I only hope others new to it are fortunate enough to find their way here first, as well as to other Juice manufacturers in their own country that are decent people and here to help and share, rather than to simply gouge people and/or take advantage or offer rudeness to those new to Vaping.
PS:
Sorry a bit long. No need to read, just pass on by if its too long and/or it doesn't iinterest you
