So my opinion/experience isn't valid unless I waste more money? I would have "bounced" from this thread a long time ago if people weren't constantly challenging the validity of any claims that aren't all rainbows and unicorns, I've already said my peace but I will defend my stance when people say it's wrong instead of saying that they had a different experience(I can't and won't disagree with that).
I already covered that if one finds a juice yummy, gross, harsh, etc that I won't argue against their subjective experience.
More to the point, I shared my viewpoint that there are many factors at play for why some juices may come off as harsh.
Further, I've also shared how I thought it's possible that there was a 3mg order that was mistakenly mixed at 6mg, for example.
This could plausibly be the cause for why someone may experience a harshness where as other's don't.
EVEN more than that, I shared how I've experienced different juices varying in harshness, specifically cited my Crimmy experience due to the flavorings used, which I've simply harped gets overlooked far too often.
Lastly, I've the re-orders that correlate my experience with this.
Just one more time; my number 1 all-time ADV is Grenada from NLV. This is a juice I started vaping on at 12mg down to 0mg now.
This juice is consistently throaty. At 12mg in a tank it's less so than 3mg in a dripper at .1-.2ohms. At 0mg nic this juice
kicks as much throat-.... as my 3mg. This is due to the flavorings.
HOW one can know they had a bad batch or some mishap with their first order without another data point - i.e. further ordering?
I am not necessarily arguing your subjective experience but rather accounting for other factors that may account for why you've felt
your juice was harsh.
Received my order in early February and was initially bothered by my order being wrong and tried to contact the company to send me the correct nic level 3 instead of 6. My emails and phone calls were not returned and still aren't. I figured I would try the juice and just deal with the higher nic which usually isn't an issue with other brands. I filled up some tanks and was greeted by the worst tasting juice I have ever tried to date, all 3 flavors had a strong peppery taste with not much of anything else. After reading up a bit I learned that these juices were fresh and needed to steep. Tried again at the 2 week mark, the 3 week mark and at a month. Guess what? these juices still taste peppery and still suck. I still have them and periodically take them out and ruin my cotton in my dripper hoping I was wrong. Answering an email is not a big deal and it is inexcusable to ignore customers regardless of the situation. Because of this I will tell the world to be careful of the Dr and his poor business practices.
As far as "manning up" Why would I order anything from a company that doesn't care about its customers?
That is my peace and I will bounce when I am good and ready
Can't defend their customer service. You had a bad experience, which wasn't ever remedied. I can understand your grievances.
All I can say is I've ordered liters of Beetlejuice and it's been stellar. Their SOD has a strong following. But I do dislike a ton of their juice just as well.
I am curious to know what 3 juices you ordered, it might have been helpful if other people had experience with any of those 3 juices
to see if they hadn't had similar experiences to yours.
In the end, I'll share my experience and you'll share yours and they'll serve as two data points, which may or may not be helpful for
other's interested in Crimmy's juice.
As for manning up, I wasn't directly quoting either you nor Brettannomyces in my comment. Just speaking from my personal experience
where I thought I got a bad batch of juice, so I reordered for confirmation.
This will be my last post on here about Crimmy. In all honesty I do believe it was just a bad batch because there is no way that what I received was their normal juice. Its the lack of customer service that got my panties in a bunch and unfortunately I can't get past that to give the Dr another try. BTW I ordered SOD, OD and berry crunch. A shame it didn't work out as I really would like a cheaper alternative to the 75 cent a ml juice that Im stuck on now.
Sometimes we have bad luck dealing with companies, it's just a fact of life as sad as that may be. I can only share that Crimmy has some awesome juice
and from what I've experienced pretty good CS. I do think they had growing pains, which may have shown itself with missing your emails regarding your
order. No doubt that was unfortunate.
I do hope you find a juice that suites you.

I just went to order a sample pack, it's out? IV gone back and forth since January listening to the wildly differing views. IV been on the site weekly. I'm not even going to try it, I wanted to but I'm giving up.
Being so behind is one thing, being so behind and rolling out new flavors at the same time isn't what I would call responsible. Kinda weird I think...ymmv

I've read that from several sources, including reviews on Dr. Crimmy's site. What's the issue with the cheesecake? I'm on the hunt for a good cheesecake juice but none of the ones I've tried this far taste like cheesecake. They all just seem to have a vague, sweet crust flavor.
I will maybe give it a try because its so cheap, but the guy who posted about the "peppery" taste isn't the first person I've heard that from. I know there can be bad batches, but the company should replace it if the customer thinks it is that bad. If they complain again, you have to say its their taste buds. I dunno, we'll see. It's $20 or something for 60 mls so I'll give it a whirl. I might wait until they say their wait time is less, if that ever happens. But I'll report back my honest opinion in a few weeks after I let it steep. I'll probably try one of the cereal flavors as I love them these days, maybe with some sweet cream.
A while back I posted that I had an issue with a cheesecake flavor from them. It didn't taste right from day one to day 30+, and was damn near unvapable without me coughing (something with the cheesecake itself, I've had similar issues with premium companies cheesecake flavors as well) I contacted someone from the business on their Facebook page, they replied with "put it in the fridge, sometimes it helps it steep". Did that, no change. Replied back and got no response. So, I went right to the top and sent a message to Kevin Lynch (the owner, the Dr. himself, who I've been in contact with since before he opened an actual shop and website) and he had a new bottle of my choice going out the same day. Heck, he even upgraded it from a 60ml I had a problem with to a 120ml.

I thought a peppery taste was from the nicotine? I rarely taste it. But some flavors seem to have it, more than others. I am not talking specifically about Dr. Crimmy either.
I may contact them about the cheesecake as well. Can't describe the taste. Nothing like any cheesecake I have eaten, never tried any other cheesecake juice. OD and APAM are good. Their Facebook is a good place to check out flavor combinations.
Buying just one bottle though isnt a good trial, what if its just that flavor that you don't like, then you really don't know.
I get strawberry with extra, 80%. it is good but it does not taste like strawberry. it tastes like cheesecake. maybe they put the wrong thing in the bottle. I think it is as good as those I mentioned. not because it is so good but because the others are not so good. there is better juice if you want to pony up. depends what's more important to you. saving or getting the finest. it is a good value, not junk. not the best either. of course there are some for 3 times the price that are comparable imo.
I would not judge anything on one bottle. unless it was a $100+ bottle.

I'm just looking for juices that don't burn my nose and I have no interest in throat hit. I chained smoked yet vaping is harsh to me. I didn't like the flavor of my first order but it was a good vape otherwise. I ordered another flavor 50/50 and smooth drip. Gets better every day. Have 2 APAM 60/40 steeping...great. All is subjective of course
