So I'm about to place a $300 order. I can get $75 off with the holiday discount codes or I heard if you don't use a code you get a lot more in freebies. Whats the better deal? Last week I spent $120 with no discount code and got almost $50 worth of freebies. Then again I had another order for $60 with a discount code and only got about $10 worth of freebies. Whats the better deal?
Be honest! Discount codes vs freebies?

Freebies always seem better! Today received a ton of freebies, no discount, definitely more than the 10-20% I would have saved!!
Its a toss of the dice,I use the code and Im always very thankful for the gifts I recieve.
I say, in the spirit of the season, you should use the discount code to save yourself some money ( as a "gift" to you)........Then, when you get your freebies, you make a post explaining that "XXXXXX" vendor was so great they sent you free stuff, so you are having a contest to show "XXXXXXX" vendor your appriciation by promoting their products and having some forum fun too!!( a gift to everyone.....from you!)
Hows that sound?

If you get the discount, you get to choose what you get and $75. buys a lot of juice these days.
The freebies are things that you have no $$$ investment in and can enjoy or pass on to others. They are an appreciation and/or moment of generosity from suppliers.
If you like surprises, then forget the $75. and hope for the best. If you want to have what you ordered and know it cost you $75. less, then go that way and maybe you will get surprises too.
I had people spend several hundred dollars and get surprises and I've had people spend $60. and get surprises.
vape On!!!!
When I order I order what I need and maybe a lil treat of something that I just WANT. I very much appreciate the discount codes because money can be tight around here. The freebies are a bonus of course and put the frosting on the top of the appreciation I have for the fantastic product and mind blowing service and love from the V4L crew.
Maybe we should hold a vote for either freebies or discount codes?
As much as these people give and give, then come up with new ways to give, and do what ever they can, however they can to help EVERYONE out, I am grateful to just have them around, anything above and beyond that is a BONUS!
I don't understand this post, and I don't mean that in an obnoxious way. I do understand wanting freebies (who doesn't?), but isn't that just generosity on the part of Steve, Mark and crew and not something to be expecting? I always just order what I need or want, and I do use the discount code. Anything I receive above and beyond what I order is a gift.
I was always, always torn between wanting to post about the freebies I received and thinking I should just be quiet. I wanted to post about them because I wanted everyone to know how great a company V4L is, but at the same time, I didn't want it to cause problems for V4L --ie., people expecting or demanding freebies, and then being upset if they didn't get any (not saying the OP is doing this). I'm sure V4L is doing a brisk business, but at the end of the day, freebies eats into their bottom line.

I have to agree. My last order I made, I used a discount code but then felt kinda guilty for using it. Especially after they threw in the extra goodies cuz it does eat into their bottom line. The money I saved with that discount is money they could use to bring us more goodies to their site for us to buy.
Absolutely love my freebies, but they don't play fair. I've got tons of different flavors to an almost overwhelming point and figured i'd just stick with the ones I like best and then they have to go and throw in Peach Cobbler free cart with my last order. now I can't wait to place my next order so I can get a few packs of those. Amazed at how good they taste. I'll take that over a coupon code any day with V4L.
They are priced competitively. The prices are what they are - and the products are worth their listed price. The fact that they are good enough to offer discounts is a bonus. Getting products you haven't paid for is a bonus.
Asking how best to work them for stuff... just seems in bad taste, sorry.

I am thankful for any freebies I get....but it wouldn't matter if I received freebies or not. I would still order from V4L for all the obvious reasons!
So out of 180.00 in orders, you received $60.00 worth of free stuff and then you come here and post this...ROFLMAO. Sorry but that's being greedy. Just be thankful for whatever you do get.
I'm not sure I would consider it a rude question, the bonuses are promotional for V4L and they themselves have said that they throw in more bonuses when you don't use a discount code. Yes they are amazingly generous and great fun to get, but if you advertise bonuses as part of the deal it does become an expected part of the service. Even the packing slips say "Please enjoy bonuses with our compliments!"
It's a wonderful thing they do for us and it helps every package feel like Christmas! I doubt they figure out the exact amount of bonus ratio to discount so just do what feels right to you and know you are getting an amazing product at a great value.

i think its a little harsh on Stylin. i mean cmon can you honestly say it hasnt crossed your mind? i mean id be lying if i said it hadnt but i probably wouldnt make a post about it. ive only ordered once from V4L and i chose not to use a DC. not because i expected anything extra but because "it was my first order". i want to be as loyal to a good supplier as they are to me. i had no problem paying full price for my order because i think it is worth every penny to stop smoking. being my first order i didnt even expect anything extra, i'd guess they would build up to it, but Steve/mark were more then nice enough to send me a great XL. and im glad he did because now i will be ordering more of those. i dont think you should even think twice about it now though. if your short on cash then use the code. but if you value a great supplier and extended family then pay the full amount and be grateful that you have someone that cares about you and your life to supply you with such great tools (toys)
thanks V4L crew. your hearts are in the right place.

I can honestly say it hasn't crossed my mind. I use the discount code and have always been impressed with the freebies I receive. And thankful too!
