Just wondering. I love the Shacks Lama, but considering other stores are 1/3-1/2 the cost per/ml it's kind of forcing me to go elsewhere. The price gets compeditive if I were to by 1000ml bottle, but I just don't have $500 to drop at once.

I mean I know business is probably good, so why bother? I was just curious.

hi
I wish you would shop with me as you would find out that it is not how it looks... for that price the flavor is so good that you would make 2 bottles out of one if you wanted... putting the price point at 13.00 per 30ml... plus all the freebies i send so that you do not waste money trying to find that perfect flavor. among all the other things i put in a package...

I have customers that have went other places and come back to me.. BEcause my customer is Number one, product is number 2... and also if one of my customers does not have money I would send it FREE... i have.....

my customers mean everything to me...

Dawn is one of the best venders I have ever used.:thumbs: She goes above and beyond any other vender you'll find. Her CUSTOMERS are her NUMBER ONE CONCERN!!! As far as her sending out orders BECAUSE HER CUSTOMER NEEDED!!!! YES she has. I am one that she has been very thoughtful and generous. I have never received an order that did not have several samples and free products. Example: I would order $30 dollars worth of products and receive $15-20 dollars worth of FREE PRODUCTS!! Not one vender I have used (and I have tried SEVERAL) send free stuff equal to half your order!!! YOU SHOW ME ONE!!! DAWN@DIYFLAVORSHACK !!!!!

I think your products are worth the $$$ I spend on them!!!! Keep up the GREAT JOB!!! WE LOVE YOU DAWN!!!

I finally bit the bullet and placed my first order. $48 for two 30ml bottles. I used up my juice budget for one month just to try these two flavors. I ordered the gooey butter cake and coffee cake to see how they are. I know that some people like to buy 5ml sample sizes to test flavors but I have found that the small samples never taste the same as a full 15ml or 30ml bottle. Just my opinion.

So now I wait for the anticipated "order shipped" email to arrive so I can stalk the mailman three days later. I will post a review after I have a chance to try them.

Cmon guys thats not right.Dawn does a lot for her customers . You missing one point expecially with mst also . YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR . MsT and even Dawn is up there with the best juice in the industry. Of course you can go and buy some subpar juice for pennies but its crap in comparison to msts and even dawns. Theres a reason why both of them have a huge fanbase with customers who love them and thats because they dont have to waste money buying tons of subpar juice. With dawns diy flavors i can actually make juice id vape . Sure i could get flavorings cheaper but half of them would get used by the sink.

Dawn has always gave me free flavorings with my order and more which she doesnt even have to do but i know she cares about her customers.

Also just last week mst was running a little behind schedule and if you know mstsbakery thats not a problem . I would never complain . When my order got here she upgraded all my bottles to 30ml's and sent extra .Not only that but she sent my package expressmail which was 18.00 extra out of her pocket . Thats huge. She doesnt get free shipping ,she had to pay all of that out of her pocket and she did it out of the kindness of her heart without anyone asking her to . Not to mention her juices are noticably the best in the industry without a doubt and dawn is right next to her. I have bought from more then 20 vendors and had over 200 ejuices at one time and the only two vendors id buy from now after selling all the crap juice is DAWN and msT. I dont like throwing away money but both are well worth my money.

I could not have said it better. And that's what I have been try to tell everyone.
Dawn's Eliquids are WORTH the $$$
I diy a lot of my vaping eliquid but when I want store bought I ONLY RETURE TO DAWN 10+ times because her liquids are good,but not only that...
IF I buy $20 worth of eliquid, she ALWAYS ends up putting $10 worth free!! ALWAYS lots of samples (2-3)with each order
After 5-6 orders you have 40-50 dollars worth of stuff, she sent FREE!!! NOW TELL ME ANOTHER THAT DOES THAT??(MsT)??

*I don't work for Dawn and I pay for my orders with her too*(She does not pay me to praise her)
I don't think Dawn get's the recognition she deserves. That's why I do it!! And she's a very nice lady!!

Wow that's cool. I also placed an order last week and she upgraded one of my bottles as well. I got an extra 4ML in one of my bottles. So my 6ML came as a 10ML and just the usual shipping method. I was happy with that and extremely grateful, but boy it would have been nice to get all my bottles upgraded for free. I guess she doesn't do that for us little guys. ;) LOL The first order I placed took 10 days to ship and again she upgraded 1 of my bottles an extra 5ML that time, which I was grateful for and completely unexpected. If she upgraded all my bottles I would ask her to please take her time everytime I order. :p I could use the extra juice. I have to agree her prices are on the high side but some of her flavors are better than the same flavor at other vendors, but I can't afford to only buy her juices. So I get some from less expensive vendors as well that I feel sell very good juice as well. I actually think if she lowered her prices a bit, she'd get even more business. I know that I , for one, would order a lot more of her juices. I know a lot of people are scared off by the prices. It doesn't sound so bad if you order just 1 30ML bottle for $21, but when you order like 5 or 6 bottles that's about $30-$36 more than a lot of other vendors I use. I will continue to order the few juices that I feel she does better than any one else, but unfortunately, I can't afford to fork out that kind of money for every juice I buy. I vape close to 5ML a day of juice and there are 2 of us vaping in my household so it's X2 for everything. If I payed those prices for all my juice I would be spending as much vaping as I did smoking or more when you take into consideration cartos etc. Like I said I do really enjoy her juices but I do wish they were a bit less expensive.:)I haven't tried DIYFS ejuice yet, but again if the prices are higher than Ms T's I will just stay away as it's probably best to not even know what I'm missing. :unsure:

@Kar
I am pretty sure I sent you a few of DIYFS eliquids in that PIF I sent you!!! Were you able to try or like any of those?
We can always swap 3ml samples of DIYFS and MsT to each other cause I have several and it sounds like you may have a few from MsT? That will help save a few $$ and be able to sample more flavors. Or you could always wait till Dawn has here Dollar Menu back up. She does sell samples for 1 dollar. They are no nic but as cheap way to see if you like several.

@Str8
Dawn is the only one I continue to go back for more. I have found that I receive a lot more for my $$ in the long run!!! I have never tried any of MsT but I have heard nothing but good about her eliquids.

We can't always expect every vernder to treat ever customer the exact same way. Some customers may have been with them longer, spent more $$$, have personal relationships with some of their customers. May have had to wait longer. We never know the whole situation. So I am ALWAYS GREATFUL for WHATEVER I receive. No matter how big or small. From 1ml samples to 30ml upgrades. Any little extra "something" is better than what I get from 98% of the other venders I use.

hi
I would like to say that ms t used to be a customer of mine until she became a friend of mine and I taught her everything I knew about this business... so there is a history there.

on the 10 days i have not had a 10 day waiting list in years. normally i ship the same day or within 24 hours..

I do put something free in every order and I try to treat all my customers..with Love,...

I will be putting my dollar menu back...

and I will also be running contest perhaps you can free bottles that way..
thats always good

thanks dawn

I must be different because all I expect is what I pay for. I don't mind spending good money for a good product. A lot of vendors will send a free sample or two and that's fine. I don't need hand written letters, token pencils, stickers or candy. I paid for juice so I expect juice. Everything else is just fluff that usually goes in the trash. $6 for shipping 2 30ml bottles so I expect it to be sent by Priority Mail.

Dawn is being modest. ms t isn't the only popular vendor on ecf she had as a customer and helped learn this business (no I am not naming names, but it is absolutely true).

She is generous and talented, her prices reflect time in the business with all her experience, just like my job. It would tick me off if someone who had never done it before walked in and earned the same, without the expertise. Her flavors are excellent - both flavorings and premade. Her customer service is beyond expectations.

If you order from Dawn, you will get your money's worth. And that is the bottem line.

I have ordered before, but I think I must have had a code for a discount. But looking at the new site, I am wondering, have the prices gone up?

I know Dawn is a great vendor, and does alot for her customers so I am not trying to get anyone riled up, I am just asking if there was a price increase, because I honestly don't remember what they were say in dec when I ordered.

If they have gone up, could we find out why? Have her costs increased? Is she trying to compete with other vendors? Is she trying to shrink her customer base? Again not trying to upset anyone, just want to know what has changed? I love the stuff I received in my order, but I won't place another one with these prices, I simply can't afford it, no matter how good she is. I don't order from mrs t's for the same reason.
