I just wanted to thank David and his entire family for all their help. I just placed my first order with them 8/16 and it came in this morning. Shipping to Hawaii is usually a nightmare and nothing like the mainland, I assumed a 1-2 week wait at minimum due to our terrible postal service. It got here in 5 days which is unheard of, particularly because they processed it same day during a huge sale. I will review the products I received in the appropriate forum.

The service was top notch in every aspect. Communication was fast and very easy even for a newbie. They made recommendations when I told him what I was looking for, and modified my order to reflect them. They put up with me being a tiny bit high maintenance due to it being my first order. I really can't say enough. They have a customer for life, and hopefully a much easier one to deal with than this time :)

Agreed service is excellent, and the hand signed receipts are a nice personal touch in today's high tech world. That being said I find the juices unvapable at least for me. They all have a strange undertone that has made everything else I have taste weird can't get the taste to leave. Cannot determine the taste it's just strange like dirty socks.
I have decided to let them age another week, if no change going on classifieds. Will update next week after aging a little more. A little bummed due to so many great reviews, so am hoping they age well!

Dee..I have juice from two different vendors still sitting. One vendors juice I had ordered from before and was all good on 4 flavors. I re-ordered those flavors and a couple of new flavors. Like 4 of the bottles taste of strong black pepper aftertaste and omg I can't stand it. Another company their juice taste like the woods on every single bottle exhale. I am letting it sit as well. I notice some of these juices just get better with age, like good wine. So I have been waiting it out. I understand that hand mixed juice needs to mature, but some of it never does eck.

I myself need to list some juice for trade.

Thats cool bro. I don't go over to Maui much and I've never been to the Big Island yet. If you setup a storefront out there I'd definitely bring the family over to check it out. If you have a juice bar I might not be able to pay for the plane ride back home though :)

This isn't really the place to discuss the product but I'll respond briefly. My RY4 had a strange after taste as did a couple of other tobacco's, I can only describe it as burnt espresso. I left the cap off of it over night and this morning its already 10x less noticeable and becoming my favorite vape. Have a little patience this isn't pre-packaged junk it is hand crafted goodness, let the flavors settle down a bit and enjoy :)

Agreed, I am letting them age and will check them again in a week or so. maybe leaving the cap off so they can breath is a good idea, thanks will try it. It has to be me, that many great reviews can't be all wrong :D

Really? Wow I've never heard anybody say that. Well taste is subjective that's for sure. For me though I haven't had any juice from FSUSA that wasn't good quality and nice flavor. Granted there are ones I prefer more than others. Not sure what flavors you ordered but I like their 555 a lot. Also if you like fruity flavors (specifically strawberry) I would HIGHLY recommend you give their "Strawberry Twist" a try. Reminds me of "Quick strawberry milk." I'd a never thought I would like it. I have an order for more (hope it arrives today)...sooo looking forward to having it my atty.

J808,

I think I just put in my 4th order to FSUSA last night. Same great level of service. And I'm a "high maintenance customer" with weird taste in juices. So when I order I have to put notes in for how I want it mixed. When they get the order- they have to be saying "Oh no it's that crazy cozzicon again". AND they have to answer these e-mails I have with questions about this or that. Or they get a longish e-mail from me telling them how wonderful I think they are.

I.... am a pain. And while I never endorse a juice- I'm quite a fanboi in regards to this family operation.

With every order, the service stays the same, I get personalized responses, they answer my questions, they send a personal message when the order is being shipped, and when the juice arrives- the taste is always consistent.

And when they screwed up (they did once)... they made it right in a very wonderful way.

Actually, I feel a little sorry for David and Pamela right now. Their business is exploding and they have to be running like hell. It's the curse of success.

Kinda leaves me feeling guilty. After all, I didn't *need* more juice when I ordered last night. I still have 120ml of my favorite. I just *wanted* more. I want a vat- a lake of this stuff... right there at my fingertips. As my juice collection approaches 2000ml- it must have large quantities of my favorites.

I keep having this dream, I'm on a boat floating on a river of Max/Boro Ultimate half flavor at 18mg- with a self juicing mod. Surrounded by nubile women entranced with the vapor emanating from my 510. David and Pamela fly past every now and then on gossamer wings bringing me samples of their other juices. I have a 510 atty that never dies.... my friends join me. The world is perfect.... "Oh look- who wants the sample of Earp?".

Then I wake up. The mail man is still funny looking and smells strange. He doesn't come until 3pm. He usually brings bills (.......!!). But once every couple of weeks. He brings the juice....

And for a moment I'm on that boat. Nubile women. My friends. Free samples. And a self juicing mod.

Then, inexplicably, my elderly neighbor stops me and wants to talk politics for 40 minutes, I realize I have lunch in the oven and it's burning, my cell phone battery dies while I'm waiting for a business call, my atomizer floods (because I failed to clean it for two days), and I realize I have to clean the cat box.

But we all live for moments right?

I love them. I've placed a couple of orders and they're soooo nice and professional (in a really personal way. I, too, love the way everybody hand-writes on the order slip. Hope they never get too big to outgrow the personal touches.) They also usually stick in some freebie sample of something completely off-the-wall from what I've ordered...or would ever order....and it's usually one of my favorite juices! Ha. They're psychic. lol. This last order I placed was for all sweet juices....and they stuck in a little sample of Wyatt Earp. I would NEVER have ordered that, yet I LOVE it. Go figure.
