Gourmet vapor "a lesson to learn"

[chibox]

Things you have to learn as a new vapor. Trying to squeeze every drop of juice out of my catt's the last two days. As you see newbies like me don't realy know or how many carrt's I will use. So now I am out of juice scrambling around looking if I missed a catt somewhere. Friday I ordered lot's of juice from Gourmet Vapor since I had enough until Wednesday I figured I will be all set, but here I am Thursday and my juice hasn't come in yet ! But if I was smoking anlg I would just have to go to my corner store and buy a pack, not like juice. I guess these are the bumps along the way ! But for a shipment of juice to take more then six days thats frigging nuts ! So for me I learned my lesson make sure you stock up on juice before you run out. And for Gourmet Vapor I don't care if you where giving the juice away it shouldn't take that long ! What the F#@K ! I might start adding cleaning supply's to my carts. LOL

Yeah!

Well, buy a big bottle of unflavored base, it's cheaper than the full mix, and get some simple flavors. Then when your delivery doesn't make the trip you've got a fallback. Even unflavored base will do the job, plus you can always find some flavoring down at the local store.

They got pretty backlogged because of the holidays and then a 60% off sale. I've been waiting too. Pretty soon you will have too much juice. I've sold it give it away and still I have a refer full.

Just say thankyou to the mail man - it is most likly stuck in a sorting center going and around and around on a belt. Had one package and tracking number - it spent over a week in the sorting center. The juice may need a little setting time, but not in the mail room....

One of the things I did my second week of vaping was to find a local vendor of some sort, NCVape was the closest, about 30 minutes from my house so if push comes to shove a phone call and a short car ride should get me emergency supplies.

Definitely a good rule of thumb is to keep extra juice in stock. I have some that are sitting in a dark corner because they had a medicine kind of taste to it, but in cases like your current one, those would do the trick of at least vaping something, even if they had a weird taste.

DIYers would probably tell you to go get some VG and flavors from Wal-Mart or something similar, so you could make your own juice. That's about as close to clandestine as I would recommend for using a pv. Anything more, like say cleaning supplies, would probably get you raided by DEA task force or something to that nature. Haha.

I got my order from GV yesterday. Watch, you'll get yours today! BTW, I highly recommend the Pom-Blu and Mocha Smoke flavors. Both are absolutely delicious! I've been dripping and switching between them since they arrived. For those of you with HV devices, the Mocha Smoke is especially good at 6V.

If you don't mind a little drive Wordupecig.com is in Osterville. You can check here VaporSearchUSA for something closer.

just a heads up too on the GV stuff i know u wont want to hear but figured i might chime in. normally especially with big sales their stuff might need some steep time before you taste them properly or vape properly. figured that out the hard way

That can be said of any juice vendor who makes juice to order. I find this to true with some of VaporBomb's flavors, too. It's especially true with most of my DIY juice.

When I ordered from GV quite a while back during a big sale my order took 2 weeks to arrive, so good luck. They never sent me a tracking number even when I emailed and requested one so I didn't know when to expect it my package to arrive.

GV had a huge sale which just ended and lots of people make custom juices there - they are probably really busy.

Sorry you ran out of juice. Search around - I think some people manage to extract some nic from snus (a kind of tobacco powder you can get at some cigarette shops) and then maybe you could use 100% USP Glycerin (ie VG) and mix yourself up something. Walmart should have the glycerine and I heard some walmarts have lorann flavorings (one of the flavoring brands used in eliquids - just avoid oil-based flavors which are harder to mix, like almond, citrus, ginger, and some spicy flavors)

And somewhere on the board here there is an emergency thread, and there are also small forums for many states - scroll down the front page of the forum until you get to tiny print subforums, some named after features or keywords related to the state) because maybe someone near you could bring you some juice.

I hate that you ran out, it happened to me my 2nd week of vaping!

But I also have to add that I have ordered from Gourmet Vapors several times. Typically order took about 4-5 days from order date. I just received my order from the 60% sale and it took 6 days. I am sure they are slammed and still regrouping after the holidays as everone is. I really like the juice and hope that you enjoy your order, even with the delay.

Lesson learned...order some more next week!

 

[Rosco]

I feel for ya Bro. Have you ever checked to find any vapers anywhere near where you live? Don't even know how you'd do that anyway. Sure hope it arrives tomorrow for ya.

 

[alisab]

I like Gourmet Vapor the most for the wonderful juices they make - when I can get it for 60% off- well it's incredible! I bet they were overwhelmed with orders - I got mine in today. Sorry you are strung out - like any good addict - you have to have a stash behind your stash!

 

[Troutbum]

My previous order with GV shipped within a day. My most recent order has not shipped yet and this is day 3. I'm guessing the sale has them swamped.

Another thing to note is that my GV order came "signature required". Unless you are home when the mailman comes, that will likely delay things a bit more.

The good news is that their juice is worth the wait.

 

[Etch]

Just thank god you arent in another country. Shipments to Canada from the states - 2 weeks minimum (if it gets here at all!). Stockpile is a lesson i learned right away. I order when i have about a 3 month supply left. Or when there is a sale =)

 

[SecondChance]

Sorry for the pain chibox, I can say IMO GV is a great supplier, one of my favs, but they do custom mix and with the sale and Holidays..I am sure are overloaded! I'm sure they will get your stuff to you as soon as they can. Here is a link you can try in an emergency.. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward/129711-emergency-needs.html?highlight=emergency I have been able to help someone here, and so have many others, there are alot of Great people on ECF willing to help if they can. Hang in there and best of luck.

In an emergency situation you could maybe hit a mall kiosk and buy 1 bottle of juice to get you through! You may also do a google search of the biggest town close to you and see if they have a local vape shop or head shops, that's how I found my local vape guy!
Good Luck!
