I'm gonna get my .... handed to me on this one, but at least Clark, Katy, and the Nicoticket crew care about their customers. They're very active on the forum, and listen to suggestions and feedback, unlike the makers of a lot of the juices that are popular around here. Don't trash them just because you don't like their juice. Taste is subjective. I personally haven't used NT juices in awhile, so I'm not trying to fangirl here. Just giving a different perspective.
not trashing them for any other reason other than the ones they deserve. Infiltrating that thread and telling their peeps to go vote was reason enough to get a bad rap

That's the power of a strong social media presence babe. Other vendors could have done the same thing, if they cared enough.

BUT! This was an informal, no sponsor, between a certain flavor profile, friendly (in the past), limited audience, vote your faves, "awards". No other vendor chimed in because no one else cared. It was not for overall, spread the word, kudos, just to let others looking at this particular profile (pure naturally extracted tobaccos) know what others liked. To be overwhelmed by one vendor, sending mass emails to vote for his juice, was just uncalled for. I am probably stepping out of my bounds, definitely my comfort zone, but it's been a bad day and I probably should not even be posting. I will say he does have great marketing tactics and I do wish him the best, just leave me alone.

1st stop was GLV. I told them we on ECF/Juice Junkies really would appreciate a coupon code. They just laughed at me.
They laughed??
That's not what I'd call good customer relations. Perhaps time to take them off my list.

I remember the silliness of these folks invading the awards
I missed something. What's this about?
I used Nicoticket quite a lot when I first started vaping. But, then their juices got to taste really coarse and unpleasant.

Edit: Never mind, I think my question was answered in clnire's later post. yeah they're good at getting their loyalists out to vote.

@NotSoMini - my orders from GLV go to Tallahassee, then on to Michigan. I ordered Sunday during the sale, got shipping notice Tuesday, and received my juices today. USPS almost never updates for me until the day before delivery or the day OF delivery, no matter who I order from or what state it is shipping from.
Hope that helps you figure out a time line.

Nanny22, did you get the Mexican Hat Dance?

I ordered 2 X 30 in the last Sale to mix down.

I'll leave you alone dear. I'm not going to get all worked up about it. It's been well established that Nicoticket has a rabid fan base, but I'm not going to criticize Clark and his team for soliciting votes. When you own a business, you do what you have to to market your product.

Sorry again that the convention wasn't all it was cracked up to be. That stinks. I've always wanted to go to one, but maybe I'll rethink that...

Cool!! I just got my first GLV juice last week or week before last. I got Deadly Sin, Nana's Nuts, Spook Sauce and Tahitian Pearl. I really like all of them. I sent an email to them asking for steeping guidelines on the Deadly Sin and the Nana's Nuts...

Nana's Nuts really surprised me when I first tried it. Loaded up on this one also in the last Sale.

Thanks chanelvaps.

@NotSoMini - have you tried Mr Churro from GoodLife Vapor? It's 50/50 and pretty good. Mr. Churro
I forgot if you have tried The Plume Room's CinnaDrizzle Coffee Cake?
And Grandma's Cinnamon Danish from NT?

Absolutely Not on the NT - GCD.

Forget the NT Drama and compare the Test Results against the TPR or GLV.

My blem GMZ ProVari 2.5 Mini arrived and I got a GMZ ProVari 2.5 Mini — go figure. If you do not own a GMZ, grab one at this price before they are gone. It is a really nice finish.

I have had a Gun Metal Zencoat Mini for over a year now. It is the finest most durable metal finish that I have used.

Early this morning I used my coil building magnifiers to look for Blemishes on my newly received GMZ Mini and Standard Titanium (Did not pay $29.99 for this one).

Did not see a Blemish on either. The blemished Provari's are an absolute steal for the lower voltage/wattage performance and reliability.

Boy, do I remember!! I still fume when I think about it. I will NEVER purchase anything from them and warn against them.

Well, VCC. I got there early and as I was pulling in my van broke down. White smoke out of the muffler and running rough. Called hubby, he talked to mechanic, suspect head gasket. I had to attempt to come home NOW!! When they let us in, I did a quick potty break and perused the vendors. 1st stop was GLV. I told them we on ECF/Juice Junkies really would appreciate a coupon code. They just laughed at me. I did taste some Deadly Sin, pretty good. I tasted and bought some Lemony Kickit....

Not a Fun Day and Sorry to read this.

When you get time I would be very interested to hear more on the GLV - Lemony Kickit.

That really caught my eye in the last Sale but I could not figure out the PG/VG Ratio so I passed on it. What is the Ratio?

Nicoticket - I see both sides of the argument re their marketing efforts. I understand their entire marketing strategy is based on ECF, and since they pay good money to be a vendor here, i understand they try to use their presence here to their advantage. There are other vendors who are completely Reddit based.

I did find some of their solicitation emails a little over the top though, especially the ones directing their customers to register on ECF and post five times on the newbie forum, before being eligible to vote ! Also the one encouraging fans of discontinued flavors to vote, and if they place in top three, they will put them back on the menu !

My main issue with Nicoticket ( completely subjective ) is their way too liberal ( imo ) use of butter flavoring and sweetener ( which reminds me, i tried the uber-popular muffin man a couple of weeks ago, also too much sweetener for me ) in their liquids. Just came across three bottles of their ( Nico ) juice in my stash, now completely black in color ! Never seen any juice change color as fast and as dramatically as theirs does.

I snuck a last minute sale order in with Stash-30 mls each of Southbound and Cinnamon Girl. I haven't tried Cinnamon Girl before, but it does sound good! My current favorite cinnamon is Ahlusion's Drewdle. It's a softer, bakery type cinnamon. I am hoping Cinnamon Girl is similar. I don't like bold cinnamon in a vape.

ah NO not quite. That is not the least if what they did "Babe." They used their (not even effective) fan boys to try to sway a vote. A vote that was important to some folks. All because they get .... hurt if they are not considered "the best" Most of the real BEST are far too busy making good juice to stoop to such lengths

Kewl.

Lemme know what you think of Cozy Custard. I vaped a lot of the BBetty & BBanana a while back. Luv'd both but moved on...

BTW Breazy ran out of @jrenae4's Soul Custardy so I got NUTHIN. Maybe I'll catch that one next go 'round.
