A little concerned....

[zztommis]

I think I'm in too. I ordered the cappucino this time (for the first time) and it .... well, as skyycamel so eloquently put: it tasted like .... I just figured that they weren't my style. I also got 3 packs of Mboro (before the name change), and the first 3 of the first pack were GREAT, but the 4th and 5th ones tasted bad almost immediately. Now 7 out of 10 in the other packs are bad. Also, the juice is coming out through the mouth hole when I draw. But the RY4 I ordered are fine.

So my question is: I see that Mark posted earlier about replacing them, so do I just note it in the comments section on my next order that I have 9 bad cartos?

OK, quick update now that I have gone through most of my carts at least to test them out.

11mg Pear - every one filled with Pineapple

8mg Red Cow - A little weak on flavor for some reason but come to life after a refill

11mg Vanilla - 4/5 that my fiance has pulled out have been dang near bone dry, but are salvageable after a fill. The other one she burnt right away, I figure probably because it was bone dry.

11mg Cappuccino - Every single one has been pretty much bone dry from the get-go and are nasty even after a refill.

Today has been a sad day considering I have spent the better portion of my day trying to get my Cappuccino fix to no avail. I ordered the Cap as my get-r-done vape considering it works very well for that purpose. Have been dripping my 18mg juice that I ordered on the atty of my 4081 and it doesn't taste much better. Hard to tell whether or not the 20ml juice that I got is bad or if the carts are bad? Either way I am exhausted, am going to grab one of my fiance's refilled Vanillas and am going to bed.

So are all the bad carts pulled??
How do we know before we order?

 

[Pugzley]

haha You're funny, needvapor. I know who you're trolling for now after taking a look around.I just placed a good sized juice order from them, but it'll be the last one they get from me, I can tell you that. You just ran off a very good customer for another vendor. Happy now?

 

[~Gazoo~]

Yup..it's obvious there are a few trolling here (especially needvapor) for that other vendor, and are damaging his business by doing so.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

You are such a genious...since needvapor has a banner in his/her signature block. But I am not sure if needvapor is trolling or not...if he/she is a cultfan of the other vendor than yes maybe, but if he/she is just looking for other options than I would call that a smart consumer

But can you really say that isn't a legit question? if there is a bad batch it is good to know if it's being pulled especially considering going to a new vendor.

I will leave you alone after this Pugz since I seem to pizz you off... I mean god forbid for a consumer to question claims of a product... I am no FANBOY and I start off with V4L I even competed in the video contest... telling my honest opinion..

I don't know why you or anyone is taking offense to questions I mean do you want everyone to follow your strawman blindly? Think about it what is being fed and what it is...

IF you take all of my comments as empty BASHING than you r truely blind.. if others were open as me I am sure you will realize my intent.... I know I make enemies from being misunderstood... but I also know the people I help weather they decide to buy from V4L or any other vender I do not discriminate and don't make it an us vs them.... AND STOP being so dammm defensive I am a consumer just like you...in the end its about us not the suppliers..

Ok, another update. I apologize if I have scared any of you with this thread, that was not my intention! I have heard from both Mark and Steve on this matter and it turns out that I received some older carts of both the Cappuccino and the Vanilla. I think that the Pear/Pineapple mixup was just a simple mislabeling issue? Either way, Steve and Mark are both very aware of this issue and I'm pretty sure that they have things completely 100% under control. Please do not be afraid to order any of the other cartos besides the Cap and the Vanilla right now which will be pretty difficult since it appears that they have pulled them from their inventory anyway.

Steve and Mark, thanks again for looking into this for me and for all of your help! I am feeling much better this morning now that I have been able to refill a few of the Vanilla carts and am finally getting some nicotine back into my system LOL. I feel sorry for my poor fiance! I guess I'm a bear when low on nic Anyway, thanks a ton guys for your concern and for helping me out! Just a minor little mixup and I want you to know that you still have 2 Vapor4Lifers here.

VapeOn,
Ry

Don't worry about having posted this, Ry. I, for one, am extremely glad you did. I thought it was just me that was having some problems with the carts. I think that it just came as such a shock to those of us who got carts like that this time. We're all so used to the incredible juiciness and flavor of V4L carts. Personally, I'm hoping it was a bad batch that came out of China. I'm sure it can and does happen for a variety of reasons. Can't really understand why it should be explained as 'old' stock ... doesn't quite make sense to me as these carts are plugged and capped so should prevent the drying out of them. I would think and HOPE so as I am trying to do a bit of stockpiling and now am wondering if I'm setting myself up for disaster. Maybe have to re-think my game plan ... Anyway, as you say, doing a refill on them seems to help and bring them back to life again.
I don't think anyone here doubts that Steve does his utmost to make sure we are all satisfied 110% with our purchases from him.

I just got my UU kit from V4L today. Between what I ordered and the freebies, I have the following cartomizers:

Cappuccino 11mg
Menthol 24mg
Kant 24mg
Kamel 24mg
Vanilla 24mg
Coffee 24mg

I have sampled one of each flavor. While a couple of them are not my cup of tea, none of them are dry or taste bad.

The Mboro 18mg cartomizers I got on Wednesday taste OK too.

Cant answer for Vapor4life, other than I know that they will fix the issue. Just thinking about your question......Who wouldnt pull the bad carts? Are you saying you honestly think that someone would intentionally try to sell bad carts, knowing that they are going to have to fix them? Good question coming from someone who has full intention of being a customer. Right?

edit, sorry, if that question came from anyone who was actually concerned it would be a good question.

BTW I am sure they are working on it.

Sheesh! I am beginning to think that China started celebrating the new year a bit early this year!!!! What's up with all the carto mess? Poor Steve and when Mark is still recovering too! I know he will fix it though!

 

[Mary Kay]

I must have lucked out big time! My Peach Cobbler is perfection and the Pear is Pear, only the Caramel is weak tasting, but that could be due to the flavor not a problem. Mine are all 11mg.

Me too! Had one dud cappuccino, but that was it. Everything else has been great. I too found the Caramel weak, but think it is just a flavor thing... just not one of my faves...

Any successful business is going to have growing pains. And I'm pretty certain that if something doesn't go exactly the way it should that nobody wishes it hadn't gone wrong more than Steve and Mark and the crew.

 

[JenJen]

I agree Lee, and no doubt this is totally frustrating to them both. But we will all come out smilin, I am sure! And those who got bad stuff I am sure will be smilin too!
