Ok I just got my answer from ecigexpress. He said something to the effect of: Capella had some policies in place that made it unreasonable for suppliers to carry his products. We will try again.

PS: Its not only STR8 who keeps DIY alive, he just likes the attention :laugh: We all make recipes but apparently they are no good if we don't use this brand

i call BS... obviously they offer cheaper sales Netrition can sell it for $4.49 and if you were buying $200 worth of stuff they give it for $4.27 a 13ml bottle... Capellas is $5.95...

:( Shilo no like me lol . Just because i like Capellas the best doesnt mean i dont use other brands as well . I have tons of TPA/TFA , FA,Loranns,FW and DIYFS too that i use . I use them in almost every juice i make and dubbed them my tweakers/Spices .I feel i NEED all of them to be able to make what i want . I also make juices just using them if theres no capella version of it . This is a Capellas thread though so of course you gonna hear lots of Capellas talk here lol

Im not pushing Capella's on anyone but anyone that does try them can agree there's a superior quality there and for that i will of course recommend them .

I almost was beginning to think you are an affiliate. :facepalm: You said they sent you samples to try, you post recipe and reviews galore all of them praising only them...LMAO I like you- you' re very sure of yourself thats a good thing in life. Yes this is a Capella's thread and there can be negatives mentioned like the fact that they aren't making themselves open to vaping vendors. Other than that I assure you I am sure you are all right about it and the flavors are good but superior is kind of a strong and subjective word. I would like to see them get more vape friendly and maybe they will.

Well that is the reply I got this evening. I mentioned that there is a huge crowd over here at ECF that likes this brand and why has he been out of stock on them for over eight weeks.

Also if they order 32, 4 oz sizes they get them for $12.97 ea. All they have to do is rebottle them like they do TFA's. This means a 15ml size would cost the vendor a little over $1.50 and maybe another $.20 for the bottle. There's plenty of room for profit!! I believe the vendors try to lowball them so they sell for the same price that TFA sells to them. I also think there is plenty of profit margin and it just goes to show how we're being gouged by vendors!!

LOL Yeah, they aren't as cheap to vendors because their ingredients are the best and cost more. They don't have the profit margin to reduce the price to vendors and that's what makes me wonder what ingredients some of the other flavor vendors are using. I know perfume ingredients are similar and much cheaper. Just sayin'.

It's a fact that recipes using many of the other flavor vendors' aren't as good. Try making a waffle mix using TFA then using Capella. That's a good example of the difference.

I made a White Cake with Coconut Frosting using equal amount of Coconut and Vanilla Cupcake with lots of EM. It came out very good! I also made a Strawberry Cheesecake using Strawberries and Cream (40%), since I didn't have any Sweet Strawberry left, and NY Cheesecake (60%) with lots of EM and 3 drops per 15mL of Tart and Sour. The Tart and Sour seemed to make the Strawberry pop more. I didn't give them time to steep before trying them and they are good without steeping.

St8, they were working on a Cookie and an Oreo Cookie because I had those samples but they weren't perfect yet at the time. I hope they do make those!!! They use to have a place on their site especially for vapers but they took it down. It's my belief they got some slack from the competition or their fans and it wasn't worth all the trouble.

Awesome to know . With DIYing gaining more popularity from all the FDA scares hopefully they will expand their flavoring . I dont want them to rush it though as they always have perfect flavorings and i can see it taking time to get them as spot on as they are . They must be doing something special that other flavorists arent doing to get the quality they have . They are the only flavoring which i can vape a juice and automatically know if theres capellas in it .They have a Natural sweetness to it which i thing makes the flavorings so good . I just made some S cheescake with the same percentage and it is awesome . I did throw in a little CDS too .I use a combo of S&C and Sweet strawberry in bakery strawberry vapes . Cant wait for the cookie and/or cinnamon . Id pre-order 4oz now . I also noticed that before steeping they are flavorful and after steeping they just get even more flavorfull where another vendors would go to no taste when using too much .

Nope no affiliation at all . Just like my DIY mixes to come out as good as possible so i like to share what helped me the most so far . superior is a strong word but IMO it is the truth . Superior in every catagory flavor wise again IMO of course . Theres is a big difference and that is a fact . I do love a lot of TPA etc flavors as well and have posted some reviews of them too as well as in all my recipes pretty much you will see i use TPA and others as well . TPA does have some favs of mine too like popcorn, pomegrante ,double chocolate ,toasted marshmallow,caramel candy and a bunch of others .Overall though Capellas has pretty much all good flavors and make great bases as well as simple to use so id recomend them first . I said in many thread i feel i need both Capellas and TPA,etc. I dont see how them not lowering there price for resellers is a negative imo .They obviously have lots more R&D and finer ingridiants so again IMO its justified. They must be very vape friendly since lots of juice vendors are using them in their ejuices and they also seem to follow whats said here on ECF to improve everything they can . There two biggest customers are ECF(vapers) and Medifast.

i was calling ecigexpress as BS not you Miss Calista :oops:

I wrote them back something to the effect of I hope something can be worked out--everyone seems to love Capella's on ECF so it would be worth it if some agreement can be made.

You guys are wearing me down. I am this close to just ordering. :p The strange thing is on their site (Capella's) they say in the FAQ they only sell their product directly from their site . Netrition must be an affiliate or do drop shipping, etc.

The thing I know is that I mixed some smores with the Capellas juice and I can't put the thing down, my buttered popcorn have been resting for 5 days now and the smell is awesome, will get a new atty out tomorrow and watch a movie!

See now this is one flavor where i seem to like TPA's a little better . TPA's although not a sweet as capellas has is more of a real popcorn taste and texture . Capellas is more of a buttery candy type . Tpas i taste the kernals and real movie theater popcorn . Capellas for some reason i love in a atty but dont like it as much in a carto . Both are good but imo tpa's takes the trophy here .

Yes they are available on that low carb website too Netrition. I'm not trying to put the screws to ecigexpress or to Capella's but apparently they had some kind of agreement in place with at least that vaping vendor ecigexpress at some point and something went wrong between the two.

Maybe its for a reason like they dont want anyone to have a chance to tamper with their product in anyway .They come in sealed bottles from Capella which most vendors dont do so thats what makes me think that . Iv read past threads about some vendors re bottling stuff like TPA and reporting that it doesnt taste the same as a different bottle . SOunds like that could be the issue . Netrition im guessing is probably a affiliate .

Also im guessing they dont want to advertise vaping specifically on their site because it may cause FDA or Paypal issues .

Dag nab it, I forgot to put Sweet Strawberry as one of my flavors. There's no way I can order another six bottles - I would have to stand out by the mailbox, put each bottle in a separate balloon, and swallow them before i came back up to the house.

OMG!!! You just made me pee my pants! I'm laughing so hard I'm about to hyperventilate! I have a mental image of you trying to sneak your stash in without getting caught. Too dang funny!!!!!!! ROFLMAO
