The NuThouse - Nicoticket Refugees

[Kent Brooks]

Virus fans who diy, check out SC Old Captain. Pretty sure it's the base flavor. I've known it for awhile, and now seems an appropriate time to let that out there.

Never heard of it.

 

[Kent Brooks]

I am very interested in hearing all about the Gremlin stuff that you posted about in the DIY forum here. DIY is also why I quit buying NT liquids. I could mix up some Baked Cinnamon Roll or Bread Pudding that came close to GCD for around $1.50 for 30mls. Money is tight so I have to do what I need to do to make ends meet.

The recipe is on the web if you look hard enough.

Clark, Kent, SM, are you ready to take requests? [emoji41]

Anybody seen anything from @Kent Brooks since he closed up Nicoticket? Kinda wondering how he is doing.

I was super sick. Feeling better now, thank you for worrying.

 

[Kent Brooks]

Yeah... well... I think Clark said he won't release anything since he didn't "sell out", which imo he knew it'd happen. Just wait, when regulations ease up, he will launch Nicoticket 2.0. Hopefully, I'll be into DIYing by then.

I could lean on that excuse but I'm not going to. Yes, Nicoticket 2.0 is coming sooner than later - hopefully by Halloween. I have to make Vanilla and tobacco - I can do the vanilla in as little as 30 but the longer the better. I have some super old vanilla for a special occasion. Anyway - the tobacco takes at least 60 days also so I am in a holding pattern until I can actually mix.

How did you resolve your bottle supplier issue? Are Zotz all in order?

...or whatever those candies were [emoji23]

Does this recipe look to be a likely sub. for CLS?
Nicoticket Custard's Last Stand - Le DIY pour les Nuls

These are entertaining. LMAO

 

[Kent Brooks]

You guys are more forgiving than I am - I think the FDA has very little to do with NT closing.

It was a contributing factor to my decision. Am I unforgiven?

 

[Kent Brooks]

Well, not sure . . . I'd call it a bird in the hand thing. NT was quite successful, a lot, and I mean a lot, of zeros in the gross receipts. Kent earned (and I do mean earned) a good living from it, probably just needs a decent investment and a hobby or two to remain comfortable the rest of his days. Now, you can risk that by investing it at a few hundred k dollars per juice flavor per mg level and hope each one passes muster and will be allowed to be sold or you can look for that investment and hobby. I know what I'd do . . . exactly what he did.

I just Hope he lets us know where. I am going to step into DYI. I have a huge nic stash. LOL. It is sad how he just disappeared off the forum. But there were some pretty nasty comments thrown at him at the end.

Not really much nasty to be honest - less than half a dozen posts whining about why I haven't released my recipes yet. What's done is done - time to move forward.

 

[Kent Brooks]

Evening Pictor! What NT juices were your favorites? I mainly stocked up on Wakonda but missed out on getting more ACB! A recipe for that would be awesome!

No tobacco, no vanilla. You just can't DIY it?

 

[Kent Brooks]

Yes, I can see them having Wakonda. If you remember, when NT site was doing its final sale, there were about 4,000+ Wakonda 30mls that one day "disappeared". Guess, it went wholesale.

Observant.

 

[Kent Brooks]

Naw. I don't think Nicoticket went out of business because more people are DIYing. DIY juice is like cooking. It's only for a select few and always will be most people want ready made juice.

The real reason is because the market is utterly saturated with juice lines and FDA regs. And lets face it, from a marketing standpoint, the name and branding was very 2012. They heyday for vape profits is gone with market over-saturation and FDA regs. They made a good penny in their time and probably moved on while they still had money in the bank.

I have said almost exactly this from the beginning. I can show you how to make laundry detergent if you want - but you still buy Tide.

Some of the best times (for me) were each week or so when a new one (or old one) would be introduced ..it was great fun.

This was the best time in our company's history.

 

[Kent Brooks]

I can't like that... it's not dying, it's evolving [emoji41]

I'm taking a long view - I'm 40

 

[Kent Brooks]

I know right!
I'm on my last tank of Queen of Hearts watermelon and my Mercury is running extremely low!
It's so blooming hot here in Texas that I am looking forward to cooler weather and breaking the seal on a bottle of SPC! I haven't seen any NT juices in the classies or on the juice swap thread. I guess everyone is stocked with what they love!
Sure do miss all my NuThouse family!

I have seen some but they have been expensive.

Bottle supply won't be an issue - new vendor.

So good to see you Kent!
Wondered how long it would take to see you pop back in.
Best of luck with NT the sequel!

 

[Kent Brooks]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed you @classwife - almost as much as I missed @Megan Kogijiki Ratchford

 

[Kent Brooks]

Down to 120 mils myself - hurry up Kent.

I'm on it!
