Cold Turkey juice.. I've not heard anything about them in the 3-4 months I've been vaping. I just happened to see their logo on the VapeCan website.. Are they not well known? They have great looking packaging and interesting flavours like other big names like Halo for instance.. Cobalt glass dripper bottles, I know it's not about the packaging but rather what's inside when it comes to ejuice but... I'm just curious why I've not heard about them at all.

Based on Mindfield's review, I bought their sample pack a month ago. I let them steep for a while and have only tried the gangnam syrup so far. It is VERY flavourfull, quite distinctive from other juices I have tried, and all in all a quality juice.

The gangnam is a bit too "zingy" to be an ADV, but really nice for a change. Looking forward to trying the other juices in the pack :)

While I'm not a perfectionist by any stretch of the imagination, If a business can't make sure that their online presence works decently it's doubtful I'll do any business with them, especially when it comes to ejuice. If their attention to detail sucks with their shop front, I'm not taking a chance on their manufacturing process. That screams "I'm just in it for the quick buck" IMO.

Never heard of 'em. Went to their website and wasn't too impressed. Doesn't work well under Linux and Firefox at all.

Works fine in Chrome (and IE, which is what I normally use)..
Not going to start a browser fight but.. Firefox, bleh :glare:

Anyway, looking forward to seeing their table at VapeCan, I emailed them and they said they would be sampling at VapeCan so I'll be able to peruse their juice and see what I like.

I just placed an $80 (free shipping - AKA free 30mL bottle) order with them, will see how some of these taste! I grabbed the following:

- Warm Fuzzies: 15mL/12mg
- Gangnam Syrup: 15mL/12mg
- Old Man's Beard: 15mL/12mg
- Silly Peach: 30mL/12mg
- Juicy Melonz: 15mL/6mg
- Garry's Cherry: 15mL/12mg
- Bonfire S'mores: 15mL/12mg

Will report in when it arrives and when I have a chance to taste them!

My order arrived today, and these guys know what they're doing, that's for sure.

So far I've tried:

Old Man's Beard: This marks the first tobacco flavour I've cared for. Has a nice, mellow flavour with almost a maple quality to it. Really nice.

Warm Fuzzies: Weeeeeeeeeeird... and awesome. It's a bit like a buttered popcorn Jelly Belly - something I hate to eat, but for some weird reason, love to inhale, apparently.

Bon Fire S'mores: This one is a lot more subtle than I expected, but pretty much tastes like its namesake. This one is a bit like vaping a sweet liqueur.

I'll check back in once I get to try the fruity bottles I got. So far, so good. VERY good.

I'd love to try them, but they don't sell 50/50 ratio and when I emailed to ask if it were possible I was told that I would need to purchase a minimum 250ml of each flavour that I was interested in for them to do it o_O

Oh well, plenty of other, more accommodating vendors I guess.

Good premium juice is not customizable because different ratio will change the taste and vapor alltogether.

While that's true for sure, good vendors make a point to give at least 3 ratio options and a good premium juice vendor should take that into account. That's what I expect when buying premium juices (and I buy a few of those from the US).

Apart from that, Cold Turkey do offer custom ratios, they just don't want to make small batches.

I'm not trying to bash them, they are perfectly entitled to their own business practices, I'm just disappointed as so many people seem to like it - I am sensitive to both PG and VG, so I can only vape 50/50.

No pun intended but if you look at Avejuice , Alice in Vapeland and even Jugheads with their signature juices they do not offer customization for a reason.They want to be sure that what they sell if well controlled and quality won't slip.
I am highly allergic to PG , usually vape VG only but in some cases high quality juice can contain PG and not affect me, Cold turkey is one of those exceptions.


Peace

OMG! The Cold Turkey website is a 10 years ago e transaction! If they can't fix that .... ASAP they are done! I just pulled out of a $100+ order when I hit the check out. I find this a bit disturbing since the evolution of 'free' goodies and add-ons from host providers has been a main-stay for 6 or 7 years. By that, I mean, decent hosting companies offer shopping carts and secure check-out software features for free to the business and charge on band-width use. Sometimes a transaction fee is required. The supplier pays these fees to the host knowing the store will function 24/7 while they vacation and sleep. Everybody in the internet biz knows this.

Why is Cold Turkey playing it 1999 internet dial-up style? I am seriously scratching my head. With Cold Turkey's limited product offering, I could set up their 'seamless' store online in a few days.

TOO BAD. SO SAD. They have an outstanding product!
