yes, yes... I know that I suck...

I had somebody do the CSS and other look/feel stuff. I did the product entry stuff. They've moved on to other (more lucrative) things, and since my web skills are barely above zero, it's been all I can do to keep things running with some semblance of coherency.

All of my coding experience is back-end oriented. I'm trying to learn the SQL, CSS, PHP and HTML I need to follow-up on all these requests/complaints, but that's within the context of trying to keep up with orders.

I'm only now finishing up the coding to automate (to the extent possible) the overhead activities with running deejStuff. The whole process of planning mixing runs, getting bottles labeled, capping and shipping takes about 5 to 6 times more effort than mixing. With the changes I've made I think I've gotten that down to 2 or 3 times.

Now it's all-hands-on-deck to try and clear out the order backlog.

Wish we could afford to bring on a webmaster... sigh...

I don't think anyone was trying to imply you suck, but it's easy to sit back unattached from something and find little changes that could be made,... I'm sure we all know it's more difficult to do that day in and out, especially if it's not even where your livelihood comes from.

As far as the code changes... I'm betting you could find people here on ECF willing to do little changes here and there just to help out, I doubt you will find someone willing to revamp or overhaul it, but sometimes just little things make a difference.

You could sure throw a small contest related to this...

What is wrong with these people that aren't trying our coffees?!?!?!?!?
Witch has sweated over these recipes, and even though I hate flavored coffees, I LIKE these!!
Seriously... what is WRONG with people?????

Well.. blame people not making good ones and those of us that have basically given up on coffee flavored vape... I'll accept blame as someone who has basically given up on vaping coffee flavors... I have a bottle of Sumatra and just a couple others to try again now that they have aged,... but I have no intention of buying any more for quite a while. Really, I shouldn't be buying any juice for a while given how much backlogged 3rd party juice I have on top of my DIY.

Speaking of contests... you could try to get the coffee flavors moving by using them as the prize in the above mentioned contest. I see people on here spend way too much time on contests with very little reward. i.e., many posts per day just for 30mL, etc.


Either way, these are just my thoughts and they have likely NOT been properly filtered and they sure haven't been distilled.

I only want one coffee flavor in my regular rotation. I am not trying any more of your coffees because I was very happy with my Caramel Macchiato (Cheesecake or not) and kicked your delicious Tiramisu out to make room for it. Then I tried Sybil's Obsession. And now I have two coffee vapes. I'm afraid if I try any more of them, I'll fall in love again.

Also, as you know, I like my coffees ultra mild. I suggested putting Caramel Cap with Cheesecake because the former was too strong, but the combo is as well.


And I don't think you suck. I imagine it's very hard to learn programming in your spare time when you don't actually have any spare time.

Good morning y'all


My tastes have changed over the past 5 years. When i started i really liked coffee flavors, and thought fruit flavors were silly. Now i mostly vape fruit flavors and coffee isn't as appealing. I LOVE your teas too. Earl grey honey and brandy grey are the flavors that the last couple of people that I've given mini starter kits have selected.

    I made some latte flavors to replicate my favorite coffee house flavors and the results were really good :) I'm a happy coffee snob ;)

    I ordered a couple of new ones this morning to try :)
    You may or may not have created them :unsure:

    Flavor One: Caramel Frappe
    Flavor Two: Vanilla Cappuccino
    Flavor Five: Espresso Cheesecake

    Last post in the "New Flavors" sticky was back in August. I didn't see the new coffee flavors announced anywhere.

    When I was vaping the Tiramisu, I added a little Tahitian Vanilla to make it less strong. :D

    When I buy iced coffee (I rarely drink hot beverages), I tell them I want it the color of "cheap coffee ice cream. Not good coffee ice cream -- Haagen-Daaz is too dark."

    That is so my bad-I'm releasing the flavors this weekend. I've been doing all of the site work recently-in addition to everything else-and releasing the flavors is the one thing I still need to work on.

    I think David's getting sick of me sticking sub ohm drippers in his face screeching "Here try this!" :D

    When I go out for coffee I get mine with extra espresso shots. I have been known to add espresso shots to my cup of regular coffee-especially if it was an extended gaming, hunting, or work session :)

    Shots of espresso?! Am I NOT supposed to just walk off with a huge cup full?! muahahahahahahaha

    I still have some Turkish coffee here... I swear the stuff gets better with age! I used to drink that the traditional way with people when I hung out in Dearborn, MI. Now, I just drink it my way... alone, since I can't find others around here that appreciate it :( Oh well, lasts longer this way :)

    I'm so glad you mentioned your love of coffee Jim! I will mix up a sample pack of all of my new coffees for you to beta test for me Monday :) Thank you for letting me borrow your palate ;)
