Many ideas have been discussed, pondered, tossed out, reconsidered, put on the drawing board, scrutinized, re-tossed out, new ideas put forth, etc. and we believe that we have come up with solid plans that will benefit not only our customers but Tasty Vapor as a growing entity providing fresh products for vapers across the nation.
Tasty Vapor has now applied for its business license and is initiating the process of taking this venture from a tedious hobby to a legitimate business. Along with this move some things had to be considered and implemented.
As you have seen from the site, we have moved into an OS Commerce based store. Random bugs pop up now and then and we hope that you, our valued clients will continue to bring to our attention, any flaws that you may find and we will go out of our way to get these anomalies corrected.
California Taxes
Tasty Vapor will be registering as a DBA in the state of California, and as such, we must impose a tax on our products for those individuals Residing In California. This will be effective January 1st, 2010. As we keep overhead costs as low as possible, this shouldnt impact any of our California clients to any great degree with the products you order.
Wholesale Orders
Though we are considerably flattered that electronic cigarette vendors would consider carrying our product for their clients, we have had to carefully review the amount of wholesale orders we receive against the amount of retail orders. As Tasty Vapor mixes every single order fresh as it is ordered, this is a very labor-intensive process. When material and labor is figured into matters, it almost seems that were paying the wholesale clients money to take our product off of our hands. And the retail orders outweigh wholesale orders by far and we feel it in our best interest to devote the time, energy and materials to our retail customers. Hence we have made the decision to discontinue wholesale orders. This decision doesnt come easy, but from a business perspective, it is the best choice to make.
Price Increases
There is nothing drastic to report here. And it has been posted up on the site. The prices of the e-liquids will remain the same, but the cost of the other items on the site, the increases are as follows
Doubler Products will increase from $12 per unit to $15 per unit
Propylene Glycol will increase from $6 per 4 ounce bottle to $7
Vegetable Glycerin will increase from $4 per 4 ounce bottle to $5
Poly Fill has been removed and will no longer be offered.
Flavorings
Quite a few are familiar with the company that we use for our flavor bases, however, we have come up against many emergency situations mandating replacement of flavorings that our current company, given their operation procedures, is not able to meet.
I am currently working with an expert in the field of flavors and fragrances whom is local and is able to meet demands with next day deliveries at priority mail prices, more reasonable product prices, higher quality products.
This means, some of the flavors may taste slightly different, but only slightly. Also, we are trying to devise more flavors that refrain from the use of artificial coloring as this has been an expresses concern with many clients. But I can assure you, you will continue to receive the same great flavors you have come to expect from Tasty Vapor.
International Orders
Tasty Vapor has decided to serve clients residing exclusively within the United States. This is not our proclamation that US clients are more important than International clients. Weve had clients in Italy, Canada, South Africa and many others and we feel that the additional hoops we have to jump through, the shipping costs, the customs forms to get products to these locations, is taking valuable production time away from our US clientele. As such we have decided that Tasty Vapor will ship exclusively within the United States so that the flow of business can continue without interruption.
Some of these ideas may seem harsh, however, and after consideration, we feel that this will more adequately streamline our operations to meet the increasing demands of our retail customers, which has been growing rapidly every month.
We appreciate your understanding and your patience as we continue to revamp and revise to deal with the growing pains of this fantastic business venture and were glad that all of you have been a part of it and we very much appreciate the support you have shown over the past few months.
And with the new plans in place it is ultimately our goal to improve on our services. In the long run, we will likely have to hire additional employees to meet our growing business demands. I think at this juncture and having additional help, it would be a better idea to consider International and wholesale orders.
We thank everyone of you who has left me feeling haggard at the end of the day. Because more than anything else, I also feel useful as the result. And for that, I am grateful. This has been a fantastic experience and I look forward to seeing what happens in 2010 and very much look forward to dealing with all of you.
