Is there any way we can have an option to purchase 1 cart out of a specific flavor?

Dont get me wrong, v4l is very generous when it comes to feebies.

Personally, I hesitate to order other flavors because I have done so in the past and ended up using one cart out of a pack for example, and never used the rest. Basically, $9.50 per cart if you think about it.. :facepalm:

I think $2 fixed price which discount wouldnt apply to would be fair to pay for a sample cart.

I wanna experiment with new flavors, but hesitant to order full packs...

What do you guys think?

LOL! Now we are complaing about too many choices. I am just teasing you guys.
It still goes back to the picking and manpower issue. Think about how many open packs there would be that are now not saleable because 1 carto is missing.
I compare it to bags of runts..I only like the banana ones..oddly enough they refuse to open all the packs to fill one of just banana.
But I do agree that more sample box's need to be added!
Xenite..don't give up on fruit flavors just yet. My tastes still change on a month by month basis.

Newb,

There are always 2 places to go so you aren't stuck with product that you can't use. One is here, check the SWAP THREAD sticky above and you can trade those unused cartos for flavors you like. Or you can go to the PIF pay-if-forward forum and trade them there. Trading works out great, we are all different so a flavor you may not like, somebody else might love.

As far as pulling and putting together samplers.....I could only imagine some irate post on here because 1 of the samples was a Virginia Menthol and not Virginia or it was 11mg instead of 8mg.

It's odd how vaping tastes can change. When I started my favorite was the Kamel Menthol, but now it just tastes blah to me (think formula was changed) I do like a few fruit flavors but of the WoW ones nothing I have really enjoyed so far. I got a bottle of the Apple last time I ordered, not bad but to little apple flavor for me.

Hmm would be nice to get a Blueberry WoW... and I do need to try the melon still.

I guess my idea was mistakan as the old "Create a sampler concept" that was mentioned numerous times before on this subforum.

It would be time consuming and just create more drama that way. BUT, I still feel that the manufacturer could send the individually wrapped carts in boxes where the guys can reach into if needed and add it into the shipping bag. KEEP IN MIND, that this can be for flavor testing only and does not need to be in different cart categories such as Coolcarts, Wow, Prem or VG.

To keep it simple as possible they can put fruits and desserts that are not included in the existing sampler packs. Tobbacos are pretty much covered in the samplers...

IDK maybe it wouldnt make sense for them, but as a customer, it would be something I would buy...

I live blocks away from V4L :vapor: and I had the pleasure of visiting them a few times. I know they have the room for it.

Newb, I knew what you meant, But your idea of the sealed individual sample is good. It would have to be clearly marked..I know I would go blind..blinder trying to read each carto! I also like the favor sample only..it wouldn't even need nic or at least nic higher the 8mg.

Jeff I would like to see the premium and Wow in 5mg bottles. I found many of my favorites that way in the beginning.

You know, it's funny...V4L seems to read my mind with samples...I can't tell you how many times I've been curious about a flavor and then I receive it as a sample. It's great!

Edit to tell Beachpuff...the BEST chocolate treat is the milk chocolate macadamia. Serious. If you like chocolate macadamias, you'll LOVE this flavor. It is my favorite and my go-to...it's seriously soooo good...

i some what agree, i have bought whole boxes of carts and hated them right after the first one. it does feel like a waste of money at the point.

I have several flavors that I despised when I first tried them. I try to give them a few minutes before I put them away. Two times I have gone back after several months and tried them
again....and found that they weren't so bad after all. I don't know if it is our taste buds that vary from day to day, or if those flavors had to sit awhile before the flavor mellowed out.
So, I don't throw the carts away anymore....I just put them away and try later.

Milk chocolate macadamia - you're making me hungry, lol! I'll have to add it to my wish list, ordered twice from V4L last week so my budget has been blown yet again. I actually really like their prefilled cartomizers but I'm just really hesitant to buy a whole pack of something I haven't tried. Hopefully I'll get lucky & get a sample with one of those orders. For some reason "sample packs" and "sample sizes" just make me want to buy them, must be my OCD bargain hunting kicking in!
