Where does one find this 120ml bottle? I NEED one of the Virus STAT!

Just chiming in, I'm here for the long run regardless of how I get my juice. I mean HOW many places can you get great product, service, people AND the complete freedom to express frustration and to disagree and it's totally accepted (as it should be).

I love my NT squeeze bottles but thank goodness this came up while I'm emptying out my very first bottle. I can wash it and save it for later. DUH!

This is one of the tougher states for the license. I am sure it will work out for her though. When you are back around I can give you some shop names for the area. We have some good ones if Nicoticket needs B&Ms it will work out fine. I am good friends with some of the owners. Funny as this sounds I played live music for the one shop in Newport and was giving ukulele lessons to the owner of one in Costa Mesa. Another hobby of mine. I have a custom Compass Rose tenor ukulele made by the same guy that did guitars for Fleetwood Mac and the Grateful Dead. He did the wall of sound that the Grateful Dead used too. A guy named Rick Turner up in Santa Cruz.

Rick Turner was one of the guys that helped make the Wall of Sound a reality. If Im not mistaken, the late great chemist/electrical wiz Owsley Stanley was the one who came up with the idea. It was way before my time but my next door neighbor saw a couple of shows when the Dead were using it. He said it was just the most perfect thing ever LOL. He had loud ringing in his ears for the next few days though. He said he was actually worried he might lose his hearing. Maybe Mikeo has some first hand stories to tell?

Actually, my true friends will always tell me what they really think. Whether it is a spelling error on the web site,wording on a business card,type of juice bottle. I have run lots of businesses and lots of people will be agreeable all the time under the guise of wanting to be my friends, and it is safer with no fear of reprisal. My favorite people gave well thought out constructive criticism on ways to improve the business. It was actually more helpful than you are so great. People do vote silently with their wallets all the time. I tend to not give return business to restaurants with lousy food and service. The bottle comment you did at the end with the DUH is that meant to be inflammatory? There are people who literally have health conditions that may not make that a viable option and others that just prefer the other style and will purchase that style from other vendors. Not everyone wants to wash and refill their bottles. Some are even on fixed income and have concerns about wasting juice transferring it. Even people with lots of disposable income usually still prefer the frugality of not wasting their money. There is a thread about the business card on another forum. There are 10 people saying Woo! Hoo! Mind blown! Never seen anything so amazing in my life! One person(not me) said they really liked it except for the wording on the back of the card need to be rethought or reformatted. That person's comments were actually more useful in helping and took more courage. These comments are not meant to be directed just at you, but comments in general.

Rick Turner is the luthier other luthiers get advice from. He is quite fascinating. Definitely a living encyclopedia on many levels. I used to have my ears ringing the next day from concerts. The wall of sound was before my time, but interesting stuff. I feel blessed he made my instrument. Cocobolo with a sinker redwood sound board and carbon fiber binding for extra projection. Love the tone and playability.

STAT send Spooky hoards of coils for which she will send you supplies and NT.

LOL

Not sure what kind of coils you need I have Kanger ones I am not using if you need them. Don't need anything in return. Would be happy to send them to someone that could use them along with some Kanger tanks. I have some IBTanked carto tanks with cartos to give away too.

And well put NPL, I think for most people they see it and go "OOooo, shiny!!" and then others have experience with other elements and can comment beyond the initial reaction. Personally I saw it as an artistic expression in its totality and found the visual movement plus colors very pleasing so said "Nice!!" while others see the words and how they are expressed. Personally (and I do this with music too) my first reaction is what I go with and only after really looking or listening do I see or hear the actual words.

And yes, making constructive comments are extremely helpful for Clark. Blind fandom is something he does not encourage and making comments to open a discussion is always a good thing. ;)

Do they fit the PT 1 and 2s? If so *waves crazily hopping up and down*

Yes, they do. That is exactly what they were for.
I know you like rebuilding them. Just did a quick check. I can look for more this weekend. I have at least a dozen and can send you a protank and protank 2 as well.

Btw I was worried someone might take it the wrong way. That wasn't my intention. Just saying,"Hey! That is awesome! It is totes magotes amazeballs!!!" Is fine when that is your true feelings. For example I say that all the time about GCD. GCD is like rubbing the bottle and having a genie come out with the most amazing Cinnabon flavor you ever experienced with every puff making you smile and giggle. Nothing wrong with that. I am just big on being authentic. That way if I think maybe something can be done better I will state an opinion from a point of helpfulness, and when I do compliment something I really mean it. I like people being able to count on me. Hope that makes sense.

That's exactly how I took it. That is what is so refreshing about NT even on this forum. You can come on and say "This sux!!!" and everyone, especially Clark, will try and help it not suck for you. If those things don't work there is always someone who will help them re-home the juice if that's the issue. I personally just fade away if something doesn't please me if I'm new to it (restaurants, e-juice, et. al.), though when the change over for NT comes and if my beloved GCD suddenly tastes like suntan lotion I will be calling foul because I'm invested in the juice and believe in the company and want the juice to show as beautifully as it can. Do I LOVE everything NT has or will do? Nope. Do I think it is because the product was substandard or made badly? Nope. Taste is subjective. If everyone is in love with something that I'm not sold on I'm not going to berate folks for their preference, I'll just pet my GCD hoard and vape happy.

And I've never taken your comments to be anything but helpful, even when being critical. :thumb:
