Give an honest review. You are only out 3 bucks, but I would be ticked if I spent 20+ (assuming it is a premium juice) plus shipping to get a bag of liquid and a half-empty bottle. If this company was trying to build feedback, they should have gone above and beyond to make sure you had a great experience. Leaky packages are bad for the shipping company too, especially if nic is getting all over the other packages and on the delivery driver's hands.

If you like the juice after tasting, you can still say it was good, but the shipping was poor.

The way I am, is that normally I would throw away the bottle, and simply never do business with the company again, and that is if I had paid full price for it..

That would be my normal behavior, I don't complain over being out money.. I vote with my business. Had this been the first time I had ever done business with this company.. I simply would be throwing out the bottle right now, and never going back..

    Yes.. it's that one. Got mine today...
    I think they would appreciate hearing from you first. They will probably send you more juice, then you would be able to evaluate and review based on CS as well. I like to give everyone a chance and see how they respond.

    I posted a few days ago about my experience with one company/a flavoring order that had leaked all over and their response was, it is because we overfill the bottles. I will never order from them again.

    After the 8th, can Provape issue an up date to their software?
    MY opinion- I don't think so. I don't own any provari's. I do always let others be the guinea pigs though. I don't update my devices until I see the update is ok. LOL I need to do that tomorrow on all mine.

    i estimate my last ft order will arrive Monday 8/8--how fitting right? lol

    all of my 'going forward' items are more about wants, parts (screws/battery sleeves, dif juice bottles/tips) i think i have a lot of glass,,, and very likely they are interchangeable. i have bought tools as needed. have tried out dif storage options (preparing for life on a boat some day).

    several life times of rayon haha,,

    1 sxk corolla, 2 avocados, 2 griffins, 2 topboxes sets. a few rda's, 4 pico's ,,couple of mech mods (mech mods i might pick up 2 more)..2 neboxes.

    i am happy with the gear i have. i also have a ton of flavors,, i need to sort them out and see about a trade/pif.---after i work on finding some recipes.

    i figure i can fill up another FT cart for about $100 and call myself well positioned no matter what.==but nearly all of that carts worth of stuff can be found here in the states if i want to run around every where.

    anyway,, all of the above would not have been possible without the input/thoughts of all of you guys---THANK YOU........you made my leap from cigs to vaping so much easier!

    I know several of you have sent mods in for clean-up. Just a reminder to make sure any mods have been cleaned up before putting them away.

    When I pulled out my Nemesis clone to add the magnets yesterday, I realized I had not cleaned it the last time I used it. There was old nasty juice under the airflow ring and the o-ring under there broke. (also coated in juice) It looked good from the outside. The last time I used it was when I was using a MVP 20watt and Protank IIs, just before graduating to Kanger K-boxes. That's been a good while. Oops!

    If you don't feel comfortable leaving a review or contacting the Company, then don't! I don't think it's worth the stress over a $2 bottle of juice.

    I almost got one of those neboxes today, not sure if 19.99 was a great price and not sure if I would like it so I waited. I think I just like the pretty colors, lol. I did see some negative reviews about cleaning tank and tank part chipping. Did you have any issues like that?

    Hey guys.. I have a moral dilemma question. I got a bottle of free e juice from a new vendor - one of the new big business types, simply because of how they advertised themselves I wanted to try one of their flavors, figured if it was very good I would later copy it in diy. It's just a basic flavor, chocolate cake.

    Now, at the time they gave me the bottle, they asked me to review it.. I didn't have a problem with that because an honest review is an honest review. That said, here is the problem.

    They asked that I pay for my shipping, which was high. 2.70 for a bottle of juice . Definitely high. I was provided no tracking information, just told it shipped.. for 2.70 I should have gotten tracking, but okay.

    They didn't take great care in shipping, which I am very used to in my juice vendors, and the bottle arrived with a broken seal and 25% leaked all over the bag it shipped in.. okay.

    When you smell it, it doesn't have hardly a note of chocolate in the smell.. I would have pegged it as a vanilla cake.. going by smell.

    I haven't tasted it yet. I will.. but is it morally right not to have even one good thing to say? At this point I am doubtful ill be able to say anything nice.. usually you say what is both good and bad.. but what if I taste this and it's all bad..

    Heck at this point prior to tasting it about all I have to say is don't waste your money.

    Should I just avoid giving a review? Or do I just give my honest opinion, even if I can't say anything good?
    I'd give a brutally honest review to give fellow vapers a heads up. If they are a new company you'd think that they would be on top of their game trying to break into the market. You are not doing them or other potential customers any favor by keeping silent :2c:

    Sorry that happened to you, but nope, the heads of the screws are a little bit bigger than the holes. They won't countersink.

    The vendor emailed back saying they would send out a new tank and return postage. I replied, telling them to save all that postage to and back. I would be happy with the screws in an envelope. They can mark the one they take them from as defective.
    it turned out all good,, i thought i was missing the screws,, but they were there,, just real deep.. i unscrewed them and have had no problems

    i had a minor leaking problem,, fixed by making sure the seal was firmly in place and i put a drop or 2 of juice on the seals.

    I'd give an honest review.

    Yeah.. I went ahead and wrote to the company but I think I'm just writing them back and telling them to forget it. I'm throwing this crap away..

    Maybe I'm spoiled rotten, but I'm terribly particular with my juice. I went ahead and tried the juice just now, and they must be using alcohol based flavoring. It tastes like gasoline... not cake, not vanilla, gasoline. I'm not going to breathe and steep this bottle to see if I can get all that to evaporate. I'm just done..

    Hell.. you can't even give this crap away..

    My Sophia from Russia arrived today ! It looks authentic and has the exact lettering as my one By Leo, so could be the real deal. It is a V1 and has the ceramic cup so I guess I need NR-R-NR wire. So a question is all this type of wire nickle ? I have an allergy to nickle so wondering if the R part is kanthal and legs are nickle ???

    $4.88 Pre-made Welded NR-R-NR Resistance Wire for RBA Atomizers (100-Pack) 100-pack - kanthal + Ni200 / 28 AWG / 0.3mm dia. / 1.6ohm / 60*60mm leads at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    100 pack
    NR_R_NR
    MATERIAL Kanthal
    SECONDARY MATERIAL Ni200
    FeCr is Kanthal (which is the trademark)
    They carry this in .15 to 1.6 ohms 21 to 28 AWG just use the drop down menu for selection. I use either the 1.0 or 1.6 for the Sophia and the Diver
    They also offer nicrome and stainless steel in the NR_R_NR wire

    Thanks I already ordered I didnt realize they are in China like fastec. I know shoulda done my research, I guess well see.

    MY opinion- I don't think so. I don't own any provari's. I do always let others be the guinea pigs though. I don't update my devices until I see the update is ok. LOL I need to do that tomorrow on all mine.

    I wonder if they may just send the updates in a key of sorts. If they don't do the update themselves, might not qualify as a new product? I dunno....

    Might be a work-around for the regs....

    How's a Key going to upgrade a P3?

    Do any of your tube ProVi's have a hidden usb port I don't know about?
    Good point :blink:

    I can't find one on mine..... I wonder how they update at the shops and at ProVape? Blue tooth?
