I had a super frantic kind of day, and came home to find a pkg in my mailbox - yay! I couldn't resist popping the mystery open first. I'll be vaping that tonight, I think, while I try to figure it out (I've got one fruit flavor right off the bat, but am waiting to see what the supporting players say), and am psyched to report the other vape o'the night will be Casablanca. Yay again!

Love ya, Don. :)
Glad it got there Shan. Im sure you will figure the Mystery out LOL

I'm wondering why I couldn't respond in the review thread.
Im thinking the new rules are a issue with it

Oh my, got some split coconut and my second order of chocolate today in the mail....first dripped the chocolate which is becoming my new favorite :). Next I dripped the split coconut...now I have ALMOND JOY.....delightful!

Three, Three, Three vapes in one!

Thanks Don :)
Glad you are liking the LM
Just a question. Has anyone ever received a juice that was nice and strongly flavored when you got it, but tapered off to barely detectable over a few days? I've always thought my juices needed an extra shot of flavor, but the Malty Toffee I received from BWB was absolutely great strong flavor when I opened it, but a week later the flavor kind of died. It was still detectable toffee, but nothing like the first day.

Maybe my taste buds got used to it and ignored it, but my first thought was that maybe it wasn't thoroughly mixed and the flavor was on top and didn't get blended in. At any rate, I want a bottle like that first vape of Malty Toffee! That was the way I would have mixed it. I have another one coming. I'll shake it for a few days before opening while I use up the last of the first bottle.

BTW, it's great stuff!
If you vape one thing alot you do tend to lose flavor, stay away from it for a little bit and go back to it. It happens to me all the time.
Where are you getting chocolate? I'm not seeing that on his site? Me wants some. :laugh:

His split coconut is great all by its self.
The Chocolate is not listed on the site yet

I have the same problem. I can create a new thread there but every time I try to respond to a thread, I get directed to a page that says I don't have the privilege to access that page. Strange.
I can see this becomming a issue

Happens to me often. No matter where the juice comes from. Never had a juice get stronger flavor after using for a while either.
Yup me too

Ahhh, on one hand I see that as being good but on another maybe not. I know on that "one" review I didn't think it was fair so we should have been allowed to give our opinions. But I was also trying to keep it from becoming a "bashing" thread as I personally think it makes the vendor look bad. At least you can respond if you choose to.

I for one, think its a great improvement for the review threads...What was going on was ridiculous & unfair

Unfair to whom? I don't like it when people give a review and get bashed. Like I said, I think it looks bad for the vendor. On the other hand, if people would just stay civil, they can give an opposing view so anyone new can read some good as well. Other than "I love their juice". I can understand though how that is difficult to achieve for the mods.

I know you are aware of the thread to which I am referring. I didn't think his review was fair at all but if a new person read just that, they would definitely get the wrong impression of Don.

I suppose you took that the wrong way...I, like you Sky, Don't like it when the reviewer gets bashed...that was the point I was TRYing to make...LOL...don't bash me....I have always stayed Civil & LOVE Don & his Juices ...

I thought as much. I have had juices taste terrible upon arrival and later they are great. It seems to vary with my taste buds. At any rate, I think that BWB flavors are the tastiest juices I have encountered and the vapor production is super. I just placed an order for two more 30ml bottles, Malty Toffee and 555, with a 10ml Waffle to try. I'm sure that it will be great, also.

No, no, no. No bashing at you whiskey. lol. I didn't mean it like that either. I know you are always civil and love Don and his juices. I don't have an answer for the review problem but it seems like it could turn into a very unfair system. What if a competitor gets some people to post nothing but bad? But then you have the people who insist on attacking the reviewer on a personal level which ruins the whole thread.

Agreed. A review should be between the customer and the vendor. It was getting a bit out of hand, to be honest.

I mostly agree with that but using the thread with that review about Don's juice as an example I have a question.

What could he have possibly said except what he did say? I am sorry you didn't like the juice and there is no return policy. So new people would have read the first post and not seen how many satisfied customers there are. Unfortunately, as you said Born, some people got out of hand again.

I'm not arguing with either of you. I can just see potential problems but there were problems with people attacking anyone who made a non-flattering review as well so I guess we will just have to see. Hopefully no competitor will use it to their advantage against others they see taking away business. I'm sorry, I'm cynical and can see certain vendors doing that. I hope I am wrong.

I didn't really see it that way, and hopefully there won't be a problem. I can see a few vendors out there pulling these sort of shenanigans though, which is a shame.

However, I do think this new policy is somewhat confusing, and won't last as is. I think it's kinda reactionary to be honest, and some new rules will be put into place soon.

The drama leading up to those new rules seems to surround one vendor, and it's not BWB. I think the new rules will probably help, but it's an example of people ruining a good thing for themselves. An open forum for review discussion is a good thing if people can keep it drama free.

IMO, ECF is very heavily modded, but then overall posters are very nice and courteous here too as a result. At the comic book forum I'm the webmaster of, it's very loosely modded, but as a result there's almost constant drama. I actually had to code an elaborate multi-tiered ignore system to accommodate it, allowing people to block all posts, threads, and even quotes in other posts from their e-enemies. Also, a reverse ignore function so that the ignoree can't see threads by the ignorer, for extreme cases.

The internet is serious business. :)

All I have to say about it is the Postitive has outweighed the good on my end of things. I feel no need to defend myself for the most part and am glad to welcome some negative opinions as there are always gonna be those with subjective taste. i will give credit to the one even though the bashing was unjustified, he never did knock the quality of the juice only it wasnt to his taste which is something that will always exist, but none the less non refundable in that respect. We have talked behind the scenes and both apologized for one anothers actions and all is good. What happens with others is of no concern to me and never will be. I am who I am, and always will be. There may be an occasional bad day on my part and I hope to never take it out on any of you by accident and try my best not to.

On another note all order to #2195 are done and going to the PO today. Will be caught up from the weekend by tomorrow and orders placed today will be going out then as well minus a few maybe.
