I think it's time for me to move on

[Lastone]

V4L has had some problems with batteries, prefilled carts and juice consistency from batch to batch. Also, there is inconsistency from the carts flavors to the bottled flavors. However, most of these issues exist with all suppliers in my opinion. If you want consistency in the carts fill them yourself. If you want consistency in your juice, don't buy Chinese.

I fill my own carts.

I like Chinese juice so I take my chances and every now and then toss a bottle of juice that does not turn out as expected.

My main problem? I love Dunhall prefilled carts but i can't get the same flavor from the bottle. Bummer.

V4L is a good company and as long as they continue the good service I will always give them a chance.

Folks I was expected bricks from this thread but I had forgotten the class of of this group!

JM, that's because of the spirit of your own original, classy post. Many of us are with you in wanting more consistency and sometimes more options. Yet the outpouring of V4L support in such threads reminds me that many of us have shopped around but continue to view V4L as at least our primary vaping home. That says a lot about V4L, and about this fantastic forum, which has been absolutely key to my own vaping enjoyment and quittin-cigs success. We'll leave the porch light on for you.

I just tried another supplier for blank carts. I usually use the WOW cartos because the flavors seem to come through so good on them. I came back. I had major problems with burnt taste and the flavors didn't taste the same. I didn't leave V4L because I had problems either. I buy at least 25 per week and I have had maybe 2 bad cartos in 5 months. That tells me that there is more quality control with V4L's supplier than you might find elsewhere.

I have never left V4L and never will no matter what the issue come about they always take care of the family on ant matter from the top person to the bottom person. I'm V4L all the way.I would never think of going anywhere else.

I was unhappy with the prefills as well, but I love the coolcart blanks and have only had 1 bad box of those out of 15 (aside from colorblind order picker issues). Now if they don't get more peppermint juice back in stock soon I am going to have to look elsewhere for juice or put on my DIY hat again. I would rather buy it from V4L but when push comes to shove I am going elsewhere before I go without and I have no interest in the Wow, awful color and gets way too hot prefills.

I want some Cowboy Premium juice!!!! I wonder if V4L ever considered making their own e-juices?? Seems that would solve a lot of issues, and even be good marketing. Made in the USA. idk ...

i am clearly in the minority. i've been vaping since August 2010 and the V4L pre-filled carts are clearly my favorite. i enjoy parliament the most and i've purchased them in the dark blue and the mis-marked green and they are always the same....stellar....every single order! they are always the cheapest at $5.95/6 for some reason and they produce loads of vapor, too. i have no plans to stop buying from V4L.

the juice is great, too but I'm no good at refilling. i do keep trying though! no matter how i fill them they only last about 1/4 as long as the pre-filled carts. my next step is to use a syringe and try to fill them the same way as they do at the factory.

I have ventured out a little, but I'll maintain that V4L has always been good to me. I've tried other juices. Tasty Vapor and Totally Wicked both make some top notch stuff, but V4L competes well with their flavors and has better prices. I also tried some of the CE2 cartos today, and I promise I won't make that mistake again. My point is I've found good stuff elsewhere, but V4L has the better total package IMO. Either way happy vaping to ya.

If you try the syringe I bet you'll find it way better and a great money saver. You can get syringes dirt cheap at amazon.com, but make sure its a big one, at least 18 gauge. If I get the blunt ones I'll sharpen it a bit on a whet stone, or file, so it slides down the side better without pushing the matting down. Cheers!

I got my ego kit today with the adaptor for V4L blank carts. First time I try a non V4L battery. I gave one more shot to DIY Cart filling with Wowboy juice and ... Nirvana! I think this can work for me. All day vaping on one battery with the posibility of adjusting Cart airflow + V4L juice.

I may not move on totally after all just blend the best of both world!

Happy vaping everyone!

Good deal man! I'm glad you found something you like.

 

[xoYOmamaox]

well i am using bloog and get the same kind of problems probley not going to change for ya. i am going to change over to f4l cause they have way more flavors and hopefully the cartos are just as good as bloog. i have been really happy with bloog but cartos not having the right flavor or burnt taste so hopefully with juice i can make up the differance.

If you want to go halfies I could use some more: BD Syringe 3cc 18 Gauge 1.5 Inch Needle 100/Box - Hocks.com Or keep all 100 and I'll get me a box too.
