I'm betting my $16 that they're legit, and guessing it was an OK opening promo. True, they may have lost a couple C-Notes, but they've generated some excitement fast. With so many vendors, it's hard to make some noise. They've now done so, and will have lots of people trying their juices, for a modest loss.

And the banner specifically said "2 orders per flavor", so they had intended for people to try a variety of their flavors. On my end, I ordered two of each they had, and I look forward to trying them. If some are good, and they provide good service, I'll be back. Heck, I'm too new at this to have an established juice vendor yet. There was another vendor who offered 15ml of free juice, to the 1st 5-10 responders. I was lucky enough to be in on that one too, and will also post a review. Sometimes, in a crowded marketplace, you have to "buy" your 1st few customers. Then, if quality and service are good, word of mouth spreads.

I'm betting they're legit because they pulled the plug early. If they would have been scammers, they would have had a few days to keep phishing cards. I'll be sure to post here, if/when my juice arrives.

I don't think that 2 bottles per flavor was a mistake, but a calculated business plan. They are probably breaking even on the deal, or taking a small loss (bottle cost + shipping). But huge PR for the new Business. Its not a bad business model put up $500-1000 for a loss-leader and sell 5000 sample bottles but earn a huge new potential customer base if the product is great. Up the price to $1.69 when your loss leader cash runs out.

2 things. 1. Why are people posting pictures of their house? I don't think that's really necessary. 2. Marketing 101. If you offer something for free, or something way below market cost, it could be a turd and the consumer would be all over it. It's the american way. I understand it's your right to take advantage of a good offer, but 2 bottles of every single liquid? Really? Come on. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but so be it.

Though I've never made my own juice, and dont really plan to, I tend to think that honeyville uped the price just to slow down the traffic knowing they could not keep up with the order / fill ratio, not due to any kind of loss at all. I seriously doubt they are loosing a penny.

LOL, I've bet $16 that you're wrong. You may be right, but I can bet $16. Since shipping was $5. Might as well roll the dice with the other $11. A 5ml sample would have been ~$5.50, and 140ml of 14 different flavors was ~$16. Being somewhat new to vaping, trying flavors is one of my goals. But hey, I will be the 1st to admit, if I was burned.

Another dumb American bargain hunter... LOL

No worries, I'm admitting I am one, If it's too good to be true, it probably is... LOL

But it's sort of exciting to see if this pans out. And I bet this thread will continue for a while. So these guys probably ran a good Marketing promo. Hope the juice is good.
