Thanks for the kind words. I'd very much like to reassure everyone that the company will continue on without me, but that's not yet a certainty. I do have a friend with a genuine interest...but so far it's just discussion. I'm asking a very reasonable price, basically the cost of our equipment, webhosting, domains, etc...and I'm thinking of holding onto 10% in case his marketing and sales drive turns this into the multi-million dollar company it ought to be (you never know...I really have done practically nothing on that front). He's very interested and is going to sit in on the next production round...see what he's in for work-wise. We'll hope for the best.
Fantastic! Thanks for the Seasonal discount!Oops...going to get the sale going this evening. Newsletter forthcoming, but you can go ahead and use code: SEASONAL for 15% off all products under the "products" tab. Sale does not apply to Bulk/Wholesale orders. I'll set the code to last till Dec. 15, which should give me ample time to get everything out a week or so before Christmas...I'm probably going to give myself a couple weeks vacation around Christmas time. Been considering the possibility of finding a bottling partner, perhaps a shipper as well...those are the parts of the business that exhaust and overwhelm me. The production side is really no big problem.
Everyone's support and appreciation has given me the motivation to try to find a way to make it work going forward. A real vacation will probably work wonders, I'm thinking.
Sorry. I had some good friends visiting from Michigan...sort of put off the business for a bit...squeezing out a batch tonight.
PM (or email) me for a special coupon code. As one of our earliest supporters, you certainly are welcome to a deep discount.My problem's that the € has based so much, it's effected the price for me catastrophically!
I cannot click like on the above post because I'm sad that we'll lose you as a vendor. I believe my transition from smoking to vaping would have been considerably harder without your WTA juices. Now almost two years later, I no longer think they're necessary to me personally, but I still enjoy a few pulls a day. On several occasions when I've gone a week or more without (due to being on the road and having only taken conventional juice with me), I start to feel like something is missing.So...I feel inspired to pre-announce a major decision...here, before generally letting the world know. It may seem like bad news, but I assure you, it's not!
I've decided to close up shop. Soon. I'll give everyone a chance to stock up first. And I'll probably keep selling the cases and bulk 36mg, at least for a while after I quit retailing. That takes much less of my time and focus.
The fact is, I'm no longer excited and enthused about doing this with my time. It''s getting hard to be truly, fully engaged. I'm actually excited to move on. I'm open to selling the business, if that presents itself as a possibility, but really it's all about following my passion, which is, among other things, poker. I'm quite good at it, and never really had the opportunity before to fully explore the possibilities. I played online for several years (for a living) and then the government shut that down (boo!) but now I live in a casino town, and holding myself back is kinda frustrating. And I've realized I can't do both, at least not to the best of my ability. I don't want to give short shrift to either.
I'm proud of what my partners and I have done here, and I don't consider it a failure, or anything like that, it's just life is short, and my bucket list a little too long, you know?
I doubt I'll be selling individual bottles by the end of the year. I'm thinking perhaps another 6 weeks, but I haven't really chosen a date yet.
Let me also say I appreciate all of you, your support, your advice, and your appreciation of what we've accomplished.
