Dr Crimmys

[jnslprd]

What I'm saying is you're complaining that you didn't like their juice, which is fine. However, you're also complaining that
they must have had a bad batch. The kicker : How could you know if batches vary if it's your first order? You can't.

You're not going to like everything you ever taste, no matter how much other people may like it.

I think it's as simple as that. Too often I find people want to jump the gun and cry foul. Sometimes your buds just ain't gonna like stuff.

I've already shared how over the moon I am for Beetlejuice and also how I very much disliked a plethora of others. Just the way it goes.


I do hope you find something that is more suitable for you.

The only reason I stated the possibility of a bad batch was to be nice and give the Dr the benefit of the doubt. In all honesty I don't think it was a bad batch I think it is a low quality product.

I would never have came on here to complain if the Dr had the common decency to return an Email or a phone call. Even if the reply was to go F myself, at least it would have been something.

I don't understand why you coudn't just be transparent rather than making this conversation convoluted.

Customer Service is lacking, no doubt. I'd be hard pressed to deal with every disgruntled customer I had as well though. Ha.

I bought the sampler pack. Of the three I liked the Apple Pie Ala Mode the best. I really like it. The other two are pretty good. None were bad. They do require aging though.

Why be transparent? So everyone else can get jerked by this guy?

Dealing with disgruntled customers is part of owning a business, Ignoring disgruntled customers is about losing business.

I've done my part and feel like I got my $40 worth here, in the end BUYER BEWARE.

I disagree. I won't argue that what you tasted wasn't gross or harsh, etc. But these things are all still subjective. Whether it's the
nicotine quality or PG levels or the actual flavorings.

I'll continue to harp on the subjective thing because I've had 2nd,3rd time reorder of juices come off as smoother/harsher than I remembered.
I'm only saying there's much to consider - the build per dual/single/quad coil, resistance, atomizer type, smaller chamber, high wattage, etc.

And lastly, I won't ever dispute the possibility of QC slippage. Is it possible your 3mg nic was a 12mg, for example? Sure.

I

And I have to respectfully disagree with that, the only thing that seems subjective about the harshness in the juice I got is whether you like it. I've tried it in a Lemo, kayfun, and magma, single coil, dual coil, kanthal, nickel, (kanthal)builds as low as .3 ohm and as high as 2 ohms, and from ~7 watts up to ~40. About the only setups I didn't try it in is a super high wattage device or a clearomizer. The flavor changed dramatically in many configurations but the only difference in the harshness was directly related to volume of vapor.

The reasons that I'm guessing there might have been a bad batch is that so many people like it and have even said that it's super smooth, coupled with the fact that at the time they were slammed with orders and from what I've heard had lost power for a couple days which makes it entirely plausible that QC slipped some.

Again, I apologize if my posts have bothered anyone. My intent wasn't to antagonize the people that like the juice, it was to provide an honest account of my experience for those still on the fence about parting with their hard earned money(especially since there's no cheap way to try some). I do feel like I wasted my money, for what I paid for 90 ml I could have gotten 60 ml of brand name juice locally with the ability to try it before I buy or 150 ml(120 + 30) of juice that I really like from another online company.

Here's an idea... send the juice back to them, with a note, and ask them to try it. Don't ask for a refund, just tell them it tastes aweful, and you think it may be a bad batch, and want to give 'em a chance to make it right.

If it's a bad batch, they'll try it and see it's bad.

If they're smart, and want to keep their customers satisfied and happy, they'll send you a replacewment or another flavor (it costs them pennies, in the scheme of things, to send out a bottle or two of juice to a customer)

It'll only cost you postage, which shouldn't be that much, seeing as how you don't really care how fast/slow it gets back to them.

Just an idea....

For what it's worth, I have recently tried about five or six Custard juices, and Dr. Crimmy's French Vanilla Custard is either the best, or certainly one of the top two best custard juices I've had!

I just ordered their Strawberry OD juice.

 

[xIceHoundx]

They really need to get through their growing pains or whatever and get to pushing liquid out faster. I placed an order for 4 125ml bottles from crimmys and an order with ITCVapes for 8 120ml bottles both last sunday. I should be recieving my order from ITCVapes today all the way over in APO AE Germany. My order of Crimmys got a tracking number friday and still just shows pre-shipment label created, I cant imagine it will start actually making its way until today. I would really like to see them step it up and get things out the door quicker.

The order mentioned is my 2nd order, my first one was for 5 juices (Crimm Brulee, Strawberry Cotton Candy, Beetlejuice, Rainbow Sherbet, and Root Beer Float) of which the RBF is great (only root beer juice ive ever tried tho so maybe there are better out there), Crimm Brulee wasnt really my thing a buddy of mine really liked it tho, beetlejuice is pretty good, rainbow sherbet I shouldnt have gotten an extra flavor shot with because its so damn potent its hard to vape much of, and Strawberry Cotton Candy doesnt taste a lick like cotton candy to me. This time around im trying COPYRIGHTDMCA, Berry Crunch, Apple Pie Ala Mode, and a Milkshake DIY. We will see how these flavors are.

$20 for 60ml didn't kill me either but. looking at full bottles that are even too awful to mix with something else, that kills me. I realize I might have gotten a bad batch but, no effort was made by the company to remedy the situation. I also like to sample before I buy and would much rather give my money to a local shop with helpful staff and friendly people, You can invest in a cheap dripper which makes it easier to sample liquids at the store. I bought a $20 magma clone and it is so easy to just put a few drops in and see what a liquid tastes like. The dripper is way closer to your nano than any of those cheap clearos they use for samples. Your nano will also vape higher Vg juices as well so don't limit yourself to only 70/30.

I would rather pay $40 for 2 30ml bottles of quality liquid that I know I will enjoy than $40 for 120ml of junk that will never get used. Vaping bad juices makes it so much easier to justify having a cigarette and why be in that position.

Look for weekly deals at reputable vendors and check the forums here for specials, lots of good deals to be had on quality liquids.

Yeah I mean, this vendor just seems too polarizing to me. Most vendors with a "name" out there so to speak, either have people who say that it just wasn't their thing, or people that swear by it. This vendor seems to run the whole gambit. From tasting like pepper, to unvapeable, to the best custard flavor EVER, etc. Seems the common denominator is that it takes them forever to ship which isn't great thats for sure. Plus, its a little too customized IMHO. Why do you need to pay for a flavor shot? Either make the flavor taste right or not. I can see adding cream though, and what kind of cream I guess. There's just too many options. Plus, how long do you have to steep it for? The website says to let it breathe, and steep. I kinda like just vaping what I have right out of the mail (or store). Honestly I have had juices sit around for a while, maybe even a month or more, and it doesn't seem to ever really make them that much better or change them much at all to be honest. I'm sure its necessary for fresh juice, but really, how many days does it need to sit? I dunno. I still MIGHT give them a try just for ....s and giggles but probably not. Seems like a lot of the customizable juice vendors are either loved or hated which make me just wanna stick with brands I know are quality.

 

[paradoxper]

I think it's pretty important to keep in mind many juices bought at a store from, say, Space Jam or Cold Fusion, or whatever aren't mixed fresh. They're
pre mixed in very large batches and shipped out to various retailers/shops.

In that regard, the only juice I've ever had that doesn't require steeping is VapeOholic. It's mixed fresh ready to vape upon delivery. It also doe not change
in flavor with any amount of steep time. Entirely unique IME.

Crimmy juices need time to steep. I find Bettlejuice ready to rock after maybe a week. SOD took a month for me to get into. It was quite good before that
it's just the strawberry started to peak out more with time.

 

[nic_fix]

I do not feel crimmy needs to steep if you get a month old or more. this just goes to show how other juices prices are nuts @ b&m. 120ml space jam or suicide bunny or 5 pawns runs $90 at a lot of shops. crimmy is never more than $38 for 120ml and it is very good. I need go no further unless I want a flavor that is unique to another brand. there is a guy in Wisconsin that makes similar 120ml in plastic but he even is $55. crimmy is either a super bargain or other juices are overpriced. assuming one likes the flavors it is as good as anything. my understanding is it is craft and not mass produced either. I like there theme too that it is a rx. wish I could get it at walgreens lol. iam only a fan because it is bang for the buck. as much as I use, $90 bottles are what's steep!

 

[c3scott]

FOOB APAM extra flavor and ice cream 60 vg drip on magma clone 1.5 ohm 12.4 watt 4.6 volt No bad taste and smooth. Only gonna get better. Sorry if some got a bad batch. Taste is subjective and one has to figure out watts and their builds if on variable mods. Like I said before don't order. I have a lot of juice I bought that I didn't like but I don't go on and on about it. Anyone looking at crimmy I recommend

 

[c3scott]

You got your $ 40.00 worth of business out of them. Get over it. If you had legitimately tried to resolve your problem I bet it would have been taken care of. QUOTE=jnslprd;15530827]Why be transparent? So everyone else can get jerked by this guy?

[nic_fix]

I did not read that but someone is upset with the $40 juice? I have flushed a lot more expensive juice than that and not complaint. take it or leave it but crimmy is a huge value.

 

[jnslprd]

Really not mad about the $40. Mad about the disregard of fixing a mistake made by the vendor by delivering the wrong product. Plus no amount of tinkering with variable wattage and different builds will change an inferior product.
Don't need anybody to tell me not to order or not complain, this is a public forum last time I checked.
I also have plenty of juices I don't like, but the vendors sent what was ordered or replaced it with the correct product.
Last time Dr Crummys was compared with Nicoticket and now it's Space jam, Suicide Bunny and Five Pawns. Kinda setting the bar a little high, MBV, ITC and Vape wild would be a better comparison.
Just like everything else in life, you get what you pay for and just like taste value is also subjective.

 

[nic_fix]

I understand your feelings. I disagree that it is not as good as the top juices. maybe it is not you get what you pay for. maybe it is a feeling that it cannot be any good because it was not expensive. I think it is fine juice. as good as the ones i mentioned if you like the flavors. of course that is imo and obviously not yours. I understand this is a public forum but to call it dr "crummy" is really just your opinion. there are many pages in this thread of people that like it as well as I do. really juice is nothing special. it is not made in some secret laboratory. sure, there is junk for $5 but I feel this is really not the case. now I do feel there is better juice but not space jam,suicide bunny and five pawns. those are just overpriced imo. so it is a comparison based on those not being my top juices. not the crimmy being the most superior. I have a guy that will blend me custom juice with the finest ingredients and that is good because it is bespoke. there are better juices than all of these but I don't really need them. I saw one 200ml bottle like wine with a cork for $450. I did not really feel the need to do that. is it the best,maybe but I don't care to find out. I think crimmy is a high end juice but there is still even better. just not those that I mentioned. I don't know why some people think they are so great. mass produced really. huge markup.

that's my story and I am sticking to it.

 

[xIceHoundx]

Its fair to say that juices like Dr Crimmy, ITCVapes, and such are not the TOP premium juices is probably fair, but for the price they arent at all bad. Im personally content with spending 20-30$ for 120ml of juice thats pretty good and be able to vape my ... off. Ive tried some juices I see online being sold for hefty prices for like 30ml and they are terrible tasting, harsh, not at all worth the money. It is very safe to say the selling prices def dont tell how good a juice is.

So far, I"ve tried Sir Mac, by Brothers Reserve, Gremlin's Vanilla Custard, Vape Wild's On Cloud Custard and Dr. Crimmys V Liquid Vanilla Custard.

I'm waiting for delivery of Grants VC, Daft Spunk and Dr. Crimmys Strawberry OD (no obsessive compulsive tenancies here....), but of the ones I already have, Dr. Crimmy's is the best, to me!

I'm fortunate to not have to worry about spending a little more, or a little less on juice, my goal is to find the best custard, and then stick with it.

At this point in time, if I needed more Vanilla Custard juice (and believe me, right now.... I DON'T), I'd be ordering another 60 or 100ml of Dr. Crimmys, and price has nothing to do with my decision. (as I mentioned, I've already ordered the Strawberry OD, but that's actually a different Vanilla Custard then what I have already from the Doc)

Not only is Dr Crimmy's very flavorful, it is really smooth! I can take a much larger vape, and not cough my lungs out with this juice. It tastes great, and produces a wonderful aroma after you've vapped it.

Once my other custard juices arrive, Dr Crimmy's V Liquid Vanilla Custard may no longer be my favorite, but it'll still remain an excellent juice for an amazingly reasonable price!

If the poster who hated Dr Crimmy's is interested, PM me your address and I'll send you a small bottle from my Dr Crimmys V Liquid Vanilla Custard, and you'll know for sure if you have a bad batch, or if we just have totally different tastes.

 

[AC81]

I think Space Jam is kind of garbage anyway for the record. But ANML, Gemini, and many other certainly aren't. They aren't as cheap as Crimmy's but you know what you're getting either because you tasted it at the store, or there aren't a million polarizing reviews. For those "premium" vendors, its usually, well, it wasn't my thing, or I just didn't like the taste. Not, "The nicotine tasted like Pepper and was completely unvapable". Thats pretty strong. It just sounds like this company either isn't really a manufacturer, just more of a DIYer that got big, with inconsistent quality. But at the same time, I'm sick of paying $22 for 30 mls of juice so I am definitely looking for an alternative. Every time I think I found one, like, Crimmy, or Mt. Baker, I start hearing really negative things, so I dunno. I ordered from Bulldog vapors this week, which has 50 ml bottles for $20 so we'll see how that goes.

 

[nic_fix]

luckily I can pay for whatever too. I got to that place by being thrifty. if 120ml for $36 suits me decent I don't need to feel I paid to much. it is not the very best there is. however to pay 50% more for something 20% better is not my thing. as said often you can pay 20% more and not get better. my take is it is in fact a diy job. so, yes it can be hit or miss. I never had a downright awful batch. I actually like that it is diy, craft whatever you want to call it. it is like getting a Cadillac for the price of a chevy but it is not a bmw. assuming you see those cars in that order.

 

[paradoxper]

Kaos Vapor, Whitelabel, ITC, Cloud Chasers Inc, Bulldog Vapor, Crimmy, Texas Rebel Juice, etc etc - all these manufactures have made to order juices.
All these companies juices improve with steeping. Of other stuff I vape from Giant Vapes, for example. I've never had any one of their catalogued juices
made to order. So I can't comment on how they taste fresh. Can you?

Further, once again, why is the nicotine content always to blame regarding a juice's harshness? As far as I know, for example, Bettlejuice uses the
same nicotine (and for me it's all 3mg) as what's in Souther Peach or their Orange Crimmisicle yet both those latter juices were extremely harsh.

I don't blame the nic levels or PG as I've experienced first hand it's the actual flavoring used. I've had the same experience for a ton of other juices.
Notably 90% of all blueberries I've tried are extremely rough on my throat. I surmise many co's are using the same blueberry flavoring.

So again, some like to jump the gun rather than doing their due diligence before ripping a companies quality. I understand it costs you money,
and you may not have it, however, that doesn't justify blindly bashing a company because you speculate something is wrong with your order.
Man up, order again and report back legitimately or just say your peace and bounce.
