OK, Yesterday V2 is really growing on me. Incredible flavor, a lot more complex than it was at first vape. This could easily supplant my usual kettle corn mixes, and that's saying a lot. Different flavor, but fills that same slot in my preferences.

I found it had such a generic, meh, bakery flavor. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance. What are you vaping it in, tank or dripper? Would love some specifics.

Trident, dual coils at about .8, airflow wide open on a 26650 Hades clone.

When I first tired it, wasn't very impressed. Went back to it after a couple of weeks and really like it a lot. It has almost a sweet/salty kind of flavor to me now, more like a sweet & salty granola bar than rice krispies, very interesting.

Okay, I had it on around 1.8 in a magma with a moderate airflow. I'm gonna try it on a lower resistance coil, with full airflow, see if it changes any. Salty granola sounds good.,

Dang finally heard back from CV about not being able to log into my account and they are aware of it. Said I could log in from a computer or laptop but I don't own one lol. Then today I got my email confirmation about my payment and they did it again this month only charging me for 2 bottles when I am supposed to be getting 3 bottles. Not that it's that big of a deal it's just kind of irritating to get charged a second time for the extra 8 or 9 dollars. I think I'll just stick with the 2 bottles this month.

I'm thinking about giving this a shot. $58 for six 15ml bottles doesn't seem too bad when they seem to cost about $8-10 anyway + shipping. How often do you guys get stuff you really don't like at all? I have only tasted about 15 total flavors so far from my initial vape purchase. I'm not super picky but I definitely like sweet stuff (bakery, berries, fruits, etc) the most. The only stuff I don't really care for are stronger tobacco flavors, menthol types, and weird mixes. Would I be likely to get much that I just don't like? I'm not too picky I don't think. Even flavors I don't like as much I can still vape for a while.

I just made another attempt to get my CV email:

This is good news - it means that mg.craftvapery.com now exists. Not the solution I'd have picked, but it works. My mail log says "rejected," but it isn't actually - I use something called "greylisting" as an anti-spam measure. Any mail from an unrecognized address is initially rejected with the message above. Their system (if configured correctly) should automatically attempt to re-send the message in a little while. If not configured correctly... well, I can just request it be sent again manually.

The juices they send are top quality juices. Their profile choices are really detailed and you can add comments to further define what you want and don't want. I have only gotten one juice that I just couldn't vape and that was at the very beginning I think that if you want to try new juices this is a great way to go. I stopped trying new juices on my own since they do a much better job at picking out what I might like [emoji74]

Well that's good. I feel like i can still appreciate and enjoy juices even if I don't particularly care for them. As long as they don't taste BAD which I think would be rare with these vendors. I just feel like there are so many vendors out there to try and you have to pay shipping on every order if only get a couple bottles at each one. ~$65 shipped seems reasonable for a variety of vendors if its all top notch stuff. Are there any discount codes or anything? I saw one on the first page but there was no where to enter it. I emailed them about that as well.

I also feel like that I'll pigeon hole myself and miss out on juices I'd love when picking myself. I always play it safe and go to the extreme with something I find I like. And I wouldn't have to bother searching the web for what I want to order.

You can't go wrong with CV. Killer customer service, ability to detail your taste profile, great price to quantity ratio, upcoming store will allow you to one stop shop your favorites (I believe), the word of mouth is crazy and fabulous flavors get sent out. Even juices that may not be stellar are still great. Give it a try...it's like Christmas, monthly!

I don't even get the "rejected" notice. It just acts like there was never an email sent.

It seems the fix was fleeting.

I'm starting to get irritated by this. This is a problem that I could fix in under five minutes if I had access. I can understand making the mistake in the first place, but the fact that its taking days to fix (after I've even sent them two different explicit solutions) says to me they don't have competent IT people. What a pity.

I haven't had any problems with the new site so far at all. Someone asked about do you get flavors that aren't so good-yes, sometimes there will be one in the box that don't float your boat on occasion-but my personal fail percentage when I choose my own has been higher if I didn't actually taste test in person at a vape shop first. I PIF'd 3 times so far to some on this thread(which isn't really high at all considering how long I've been a subscriber, and 1 was a non CV juice-just because I knew the person really likes a certain brand), all is done by private pm's-and yes I keep it to people on this thread too just because I feel better knowing it goes to someone I "know" here. I've altered my flavor profile a few times and am happy with way set up now, but it did take tweaking and honest evaluation on my part if something was really a good choice for my palate or not, things I thought were initially a good match, got axed-I watched what others were getting and asked them what their profile is/was if I liked their boxes.

Looks like they have cleared up some of the initial bugs. I did get an email response from them saying that they worked out the kinks that I mentioned. So hopefully others are no longer seeing them.

I still show nothing in "Orders" yet... so still no idea what I'm getting this month. Can't wait to find out!

I do have an interesting question, though. My coworker that I got signed up, got his box at the beginning of this month (the 7th). He was wanting another one at the end of this month... Does he still get the one from the 15th (I don't believe he has been charged)? Or does he have to wait until the end of next month? I told him to send them an email and that they would happily send him a box, I'm sure.

I think he would. But yeah he would have been charged again on the 15th. Since some folks are having issues with emails they may have a charge and just not have gotten the email but I would say in all probability he would. I, like baseballmom haven't had any issues. I even signed up for the 3mg when available All you high VG vapers can set that as a preference now too. And just overall: look guys, try not to get frustrated I'm sure they are doing everything they can to get it right. We have no idea what they are working with and what their particular issues are on their side. What I know is if something falls through the cracks they will make it right like they ALWAYS do. So let's not start to get all negative. If you are mega concerned about something then pick up the phone and call them [emoji74]

I started July 10th, got billed on that date, received my first box 2 days later and did not receive a second box at the end of July. I suppose I could have called and they would have hooked me up, but I have been ok working on some DIY stuff, so this month is gonna be REALLY good for me.

I had a technical issue with that first box and they had it fixed right away. Customer service rocks, don't be afraid people-give them a call! Your gonna want that second box!!
