Apocalyptic Lemonade is straight.

Apocalyptic Strawberry Lemonade is ... well ... strawberry lemonade

Cherry Lemonbomb is cherry lemonade

Apocalyptic Lemonberry Explosion is strawberry lemonade with a touch of champagne

Black Lemonberry is blackberry lemonade...

um...

I think the others are named appropriately...

Did an inventory. I'm down to less than a quart of deejStuff.

Problem is that I'm overloaded with fruit taffies. I still love them but I keep trying (and falling in love with) new flavors instead of finishing them. 160ml is just too much and it's all at least 10 months old. I may not order anything else until I've vaped at least half of that. (Unless, of course, I run out of ARC or Poeia's MG in the meantime.)

The Apple Pie has really grown on me. It was just too much cinnamon for my taste buds but I toned it down with a little Tahitian Vanilla Taffy (making a rudimentary Apple Pie à la Mode.) I taste the apple even more than I did before and there's enough cinnamon & crust left to make it undeniably pie, not just apple.

It won't make my top 10 list, but it might be in my top 20.

Good. Now I know what time I can start complaining. :p



It's grown on me in the opposite fashion. At first I was wishing for a little more cinnamon but now I'm liking it more & more just the way it is.

I don't really taste a sweet cinnamon like I was looking for, but it's influence and effects are present. The apple is more tart than sweet. The crust while flavorful has a very light taste to it as far as crusts go (light vs dark not light vs heavy). I've always been used to and liked the heavier much sweeter apple pie vapes, but this is a very nice change from that IMHO.

AUGH! More for the "to try next time" list! :facepalm:

no, I figure the announcement earlier will partially answer that question.

but the PRIMARY reason I'm excited... well... you'll just have to wait for the site to come back up.

:)


Don't worry that you might miss it... there will be a big ol' announcement on the home page...

Yay announcement (and matching email)! :D (My big bottle o' STRAWBERRY CHEEZCAKEZ went down $10! 8-o )

there are still a few codes out there that are active... I'm not going to say what they are, though.

But...but.... :cry:




:laugh:

By the way, 3 days ago was the one-year anniversary of my last non-deejStuff e-liquid order.

It's not been that long for me.... I think about 6 months have passed since I fired my ADV vendor (was my very very favorite, and I miss it sometimes, but Deej has SO many yummy ones that something had to go!). Also had an alternate vendor that has a couple of flavors I miss sometimes... but not enough apparently! :laugh:

There is one juice I recently discovered that is very popular that I don't think I can give up though, as it's really good for vapor's tongue moments.

Otherwise, I'm all-Deej too now! :D

    I was just sitting here wondering if Priority Mail gets handled differently than 1st Class...

    By that I mean, is Priority Mail more protected? Kept in cooler environments?

    I know it moves through the USPS system faster... which would mean less exposure to heat.

    I'm pretty certain now that it's exposure to hot environments that's causing the leaks.

    I really tore into researching induction sealing thanks to grad's suggestion... none of the equipment/supplies I was able to find (and I did find some small discs) look like they're going to work. The mouth on these bottles is just too small in diameter.

    Maybe I'm going to have to switch to glass bottles with eye-dropper caps. That would pretty much force me into going Priority or Express on shipping mostly because of the weight limit on 1st class. Advantage is that the eye-dropper caps have a rubber (or rubber-like) seal.

    Maybe I'm going to have to go back to the soft bottles (the translucent ones). I seem to recall they had less of a leakage problem when they were properly manufactured.

    Maybe I'm thinking too much.

    Am I the only vendor that has a leakage problem???

    All I can say is that the bottles you sent to me the last couple of months is 100% leak free :D

    And you order large numbers, too...

    I need to set aside time to investigate WHERE those bottles that leaked went to... maybe there's some commonality...

    -----------

    I was just wondering if needlecaps would be the answer... what would be the desirability?

    Those tip-covers would have to be tight, though...

    I highly doubt it.

    True...maybe

    That's my thinking

    Humm, too bad... & I thought that was Poeia's idea?

    NO!!! :(

    Yes, you are.
    Am I the only vendor that has a leakage problem???
    How silly, of course not!
    You probably just worry about it more than most:)

    I buy my own soft needle bottles cause I have a hard time with hard bottles.
    I'ld say ummm, 97% of my order's have not leaked & what did was very little;
    certainly not enough to complain about.

    Maybe just a warning note or suggestion in your shipping department concerning the matter?
    Let the buyer beware?

    I am the shipping department. Well, me and my sister...

    I don't know how expensive this would be but, for the plastic bottles, if you don't put the drip tip on, you could a peel-off thing over the neck (like a tamper-proof seal) then the cap. If the drip tips were in the bag, I'm sure most of us could figure out how to put it on.

    It wouldn't work for the glass bottles as the dripper is attached to the cap.

    Deej, in my last order I had 4 bottles, and only the 30ml bottle leaked. I think if it was an exposure to heat issue all of them would have, right? (I had 3 10ml also in that order)

    And I am not complaining, just trying to help out. :)

    If that were the only size that leaked, that might be a clue...

    I know that when the bottles leave here, they are capped TIGHT. I turn those caps as hard as I can and if the cap "slips", it's trash. And I've trashed a lot of caps lately.

    I need to stop reading posts from the bottom up. I almost choked on my coffee.


    BTW...I like the new changes Deej. Now if everything else followed you example I wouldn't be broke.

    I've only had 1 bottle leak and it was a 15ml from my last order. It wasn't enough to be a bother or even mention though. I'm only mentioning it now because you said you wanted to know where the leaky bottles went to Deej
