Forgive me if this idea is posted elsewhere. Didn't search it at all. I think we need to start a juice club. That way ppl can try juices before they make a big purchase and find out they don't even like the stuff. An example, which can be refined, would be there's 10 members. One month, or every week or two, will purchase juices from a vendor they want to try or a vendor that they're familiar with. They would then bottle up those juices in smaller quantities and send em to the other members to try. The next month, or whatever, a different member will purchase from a different vendor and send out smaller bottles to the other members, and so on. So, instead of buying juices, yourself, from all these different vendors, you would only have to make a purchase when it's your turn in the rotation. That would be a lot of juice people will be getting for free, so they can try it out first. What do u all think? Does what I said make sense? It would save everyone involved a crap-load of money and time. The only real time they are putting in, is when it's their turn to purchase. Obviously, it can be more or less than 10 ppl. I just thought that would be a good idea, especially since ppl in this thread are very generous and want to help others out anyways. We can start a new thread if this gets going, but thought I'd put it here since ppl are already sending AVE stuff to other ppl.

Obviously it would depend on how many ppl want to do it, but say there is 10 ppl. Someone would buy a 30mL bottle and send out 3mL samples. Just tossing stuff around. And it would definitely be more than just AVE. That's the point of it. Being able to sample from a lot of other vendors for the price of (and this is the best part) a 30mL bottle and 9 small bottles. I want to keep the thread here for now until we get some more ppl. The ppl on this thread will likely be great candidates for "The Program". Lol.

I mailed some juice today.
$1.40 for padded envelope + $2.93 postage = $4.33
4.33 x 9 = 38.97 before you buy any juice.
Sound like an expensive way to try 3 mls of juice once a month.
Most suppliers have sample packs of at least 5 flavors that can be bought for 20 to 25 dollars.
Just my thoughts.

You're obviously not grasping the idea. U don't just get 3mL (just an example) for that price and u only have to pay it once in a while. And y would u pay $1.40 for a padded envelope to send someone a bottle of juice? U can use regular envelopes for a lot cheaper. I just sent some juices myself. I JUST got home from the post office and it was $2.07. No reason to pay for a padded envelope, especially at that price. It's just an idea, too. And even if it did cost $2 more to do all of it, than purchasing samples, it's the idea of becoming friends with these ppl. This is a tight-knit community and that's what I like about it. Others are so generous, why not try to do something like this? Again, it's all just an idea. I haven't sat down to crunch any numbers. Just thought about it and threw it on here.

Yes depending on how many people are wanting to do this...if there is a lot then definitely it would need to be done in groups. Also, we could have vendor of the month. Or flavor of the month. Also some research would have to be done for finding the cheapest bottles to use for the samples. I don't know about most people, but I don't have any extra bottles laying around.:rolleyes:

Sorry...gotta stop this here.

If Porphy allows this to continue...

Any trading in the AVE Forum must be ONLY for AVE liquids.

If anyone likes it, I have some Tribeca, Unicorn Blood, Honey Flue Cured Tobacco (Elite Vaporworks), Vestratto (Firebrand), and Tonic (Firebrand) in small quantities I can offer to help hold you over.

I would really love some beloved GJ too, if anyone has some they'd part with.

I'm going to hafta agree with classwife on this one and I wanted to step in earlier when Pathology mentioned non-ave stuff but then mega came in thinking with his heart instead of his head (typical early stage of ave juicey loyality) plus at first glance I was smelling a co-op thing in play, too.

I was a little suprised my friend zapped started this thread because there's already a sticky trade set up but I wasn't shocked by it because he just wanted to give it all a jumpstart again, so like others I dove in too.

These young guns, I tell ya.

ETA: For non ave stuff might I suggest you folks head to http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/ because the PIF folks need all the help they can get, and this goes for those in need too. It's heavily moderated and everything from getting emergency supplies free to free samples to trades to flat out equipment donations are reflection of how much empathy this community has.

Not meaning to start anything. Just thinking bout helping others out. Ben should be happy that his juice is the idea behind this. Like I said, I had an idea and put it on here. There's an AVE swap thread and this was a AVE share thread. Intended on just sending juice to ppl in need with no trade or money.

Great idea The Don Mega!

But like Classwife said lets keep this thread to Ave shares and try to keep the trades in the trade section. I'll be sending her an email apprising her of the actual intentions of the thread as well as outlining why theres a need for it currently. Lets also keep it to just Ave juices mentioned in the thread (Im assuming pms would be alright though).Please no mention of money either.

Thanks again to everyone who's posted and shared here.You guys are truly awesome and do a lot to restore peoples faith in humanity with just a few simple words and acts of kindness.

Its enough to bring tears of joy and pride to even the eyes of this crusty old curmudgeon and thats saying something :toast:
