Well, I have to admit, I have been unfaithful to V4L. :oops: Since Steve was out of Coffee carto's, I strayed and visited another supplier.:oops: This other supplier promised to make me happy and satisfy my needs. I was lured in by my weakness for some Coffee carto's and took a walk on the dark side. Well the carto's came today. Let me just say, there has been much discussion on this forum about "Are all KR808D carts created equally?". I am hear to tell you THEY ARE NOT!! :shock: These carts from the other place are wimpy my friends! Wimpy flavor. Wimpy vapor. And they last about as long as a teenage boy on prom night. My beloved Coffee carts from Steve had great flavor, clouds of vapor and lasted ALOT longer. Yes, I strayed. But, I was weak and foolish. Please forgive me Steve. I will never make the same mistake again.

I did that too, also because of a flavor I wanted that wasn't in stock... and yeah! Same thing. I have said a few times that the V4L cartos are more flavorful and last longer, some have accused me of being deluded and naive for not believing that all cartos are created equal. lol If that is the case, it is good to know I am in good company! ;)

OMG this is so true! I definately found this out when I mistakenly thought I had a PG reaction ( was nic reaction) I tried 3 different vendors all with wonderful, glowing reports, on everything from flavor to ingredient quality to customer serivce and I have to say the flavors were awful, and the customer service was ok, had no problems but it but it didn't feel the same ( It definately did not feel as if I had the same level of satisfaction or service and there was no personal contact :( ) !
It was so horrible I decided to guinea pig myself and retry the PG with V4L again ( thank goodness I found my mistake at that point)
I had even gone back to analogs ( and am still on them partially as I am going slowly to avoid another negative reaction ( I seem to be rather more sensitve then most with this)
And yeah JenJen we do seem to get slamed a lot for what you mentioned and for being blindly faithful , and to to those people I say Yes I have an opinion and my opnion is just as valuable as yours! Also try something before you knock it!
Everyone has an opinion and this is part of what makes V4L forums such a wonderful place because even on here ( perhaps especially on here) a negative opinion is taken seriously, it is left up, and people can conribute to try to help others!

I've recently ordered some juice from another vendor because that vendor offers large (125, 250, 500ml) bottles. I'd like to accumulate a largish quantity of juice but would rather not have it be a bazillion 20ml bottles. Of course, if the sample flavors I've ordered turn out to be unsatisfactory, I'll make other plans.

Steve, any hope of large bottles anytime? I'd be interested, and I bet I'm not alone!

I too have ordered elsewhere, and that was exactly how I felt......unfaithful! But I do have to say that one of the company's I dealt with was actually very pleasant. In all honesty, I will most likely continue to do business with them. While V4L will always be my "go to" supplier (since the VK got me off the analogs!!), I now have a place to get what I need if Steve's stock is low or whatever.

(I'm not sure about the rules concerning another supplier being mentioned, so I didn't!)

I tried to say this before, but some didn't believe lol...Cartomizer flavors are not all created equally. Hell cartomizers are not all created equally, ive got at least 3 variations over here that are clearly constructed differently. V4L's flavors...if it's a flavor you like...are almost always better than others..been there tried that.

OMG!!!! I am sitting here vaping my chocolate and it is like hooking up with an old friend... ;)

As mentioned before, I finally broke down ordered the chocolate that I had been missing and thought I couldn't live without somewhere else. It wasn't near as good, (plus - I felt so cheap! ;) ) Then V4L got the chocolate back in and you cannot tell me that all the carts are the same. I know love makes things taste better, and Steve puts a lot of love into his products, but that aside - they just taste better, last longer, and satisfy more. There is just no way in hell the others even come close!

I am running dangerously low on cappuccino and coffee, but I have learned my lesson. I am not going to stray again! I will go order some juice to tide me over, but I will NEVER go back to second rate cartos again! *shakes her fist to the sky like Scarlette O'Hara* As God is my Witness, I will never go without V4L cartos again!

:nun: I guess this is the confessional, so I'll admit that I had strayed also. The VK is the only e-cig I've ever had. Thankfully I had several kits on hand, but not many carts, when customs started seizing shipments. :evil: I looked at the last order I placed before being 'unfaithful' and it was in May!! I can tell by what I ordered it must have been the only thing in stock. So....I ordered carts directly from China :oops:

Recently my boss asked if I was still using and still liked my e-cig. Her husband had purchased one for her on some kind of trial basis. She didn't like it and they were having trouble contacting whoever he got it from to find out how to return it. I told her about the Vapor King, V4L site and the forum, but that I didn't know what the current situation was with the FDA and customs. Which is what led me back here to see what was going on. :shock:
Steve was back - with MORE STUFF!!! I've placed 2 orders in the last week and I have a wish list that's growing on the site. My boss's husband was pleased with what he read about V4L and placed an order for her. She said he ordered lots of flavors, but other than that I don't know what she has (I've been out of the office sick with a nasty cold) .

Anyway, I'm back and it's good to be 'home!'

I bought some from another vendor or two as well. I sold them in the classifieds at a loss...Never again. I think the flavor at V4L is better, but I would have tolerated the difference in flavor since I refill mine anyway. I just can't get passed the color coding and labeling. I have so many random carts laying around that I have no idea what is in them. I need labeling!:oops:
