An observation about the free sample bottles

[tnash]

I have not ordered all that many juices, but have noticed something. Nearly every time when I order and a free sample bottle is included the sample is better than what I ordered. Ok, guess I am still experimenting and don't know my own taste yet. And/or they send a sample of their best product. It usually tends to be something in a totally different category than what I am used to.
I tend to order coffee, chocolate, or tobacco (so far). They will send sample of vanilla or fruit that is seriously good.
Do others experience this? Or maybe just the opposite?
So far so good on this but know it can't last.

things you think you'd love, you sometimes don't,,,,,,,I love coffee,,,,,,seriously, love to drink it,,,,,,,,,,,but I can't STAND to vape it. It was my biggest disappointment,,,and I've tried several coffee flavors.

the same holds true for the reverse,,,,,,maybe order a few fruit flavors and see how you like them

Maybe I'm getting spoiled but what gets me is when you place a fairly good size order and there are NO samples. Hmmm.

I've NEVER gotten a free sample of completed juice,,,I do get a free sample when I order DIY stuff from Wizard Labs.

One thing that can be different about the samples: they're usually aged more than the bigger bottles.

Juices usually taste best 2-4 weeks after mixing. Some vendors make them bottle by bottle so it's very fresh and un-steeped. Their samples on the other hand are made in a big batch and the bottles spend some time on the shelf before shipping.

I always get something random for samples, not always good. It's always either 0nic (no good to me), or extra flavor on something that shouldn't have extra, stuff like that.

On the other hand, I did get a sample that became one of my new favorites, ECBlend Dragon's Leaf

That happened with my last sample purchase from Alice in Vapeland.

So far have gotten samples from Altcig and Better vapes, and I know The Vapor room gives them, among others. It can be a really good businesss practice to introduce interest in flavors that you might otherwise not try, and result in repeat business for the new flavors.

When I ordered my big 120mL bottle of Copper Creek House Blend I forgot to request the sample I wanted. I emailed her the next morning saying that I wanted to try Twisted Tobacco and she emailed me back 8 minutes later (at around noon on a saturday when she could surely be doing something better than dealing with picky customers) saying that she'd be glad to do so. Now THAT is customer service ladies and gentlemen!

Mister E Liquid sends a 3ml sample with every order- my very first sample (pure michigan ice) turned into my all day vape and I order the same flavor religiously!
