You can disagree if u like there will be no way to tell for sure which is which of course, but that dont matter youve decided your path and thats fantastic, those that shop else where for Juggie juice do so because of their loyalty and convience. Thats all good.

As this vapeing phenomenom grows and its growing exporentially, more and more vendors are selling a variety of juices wither their own or anothers, and our selection in Canada is growing vastly.

Other then a few flabors ive all the Juggie juice i need, and now have a few favs from 7-8 diff vendors, all good.

That being said i wish all the best and vape happily.

Seems like you and I agree and disagree to a point.

I loved how amazing the Juggies vape group used to be, but it is so sad nowadays to see one or two posts a month. I was excited to see reviews for Juggies new flavours and to peer into other peoples orders. Those days are obviously long gone, and now we have this.... This desert of nothing.

This one thread was the reason I used to visit this forum, but now I don't even bother anymore.

Just as I predicted people got upset and gave up. This is one of those great stories on how to take what could make something big and turn it into something forgotten. I am sure that Juggie is still happy with the money he is making, but seeing something so great not live up to the potential it had is heartbreaking to me.

Last summer when Juggie first put the business up for offer I had a few friends and we almost offered him 500k, but we backed off a bit and reinvested elsewhere. Now I am having a hard time convincing them to offer 80k. So it shows how interest and his perceived value is diminishing very quickly by my circle.

It's probably a good thing prophecy isn't your day job.

I'm not upset, I've just been really busy. Last night was an all-Jughead night for me: some Swedish Pastry, some Awesome Waffles, then onto Gunslinger and Mr Grumpy Pants. Even a couple of toots of Straight Shooter.

I to am not upset, life goes on unless your a REO or a Provari enthusiast. Lol.

Me I made a bulk order from Juggie, and have 600 ml of his juice, this will last me a year, so no need for me to order again. I've also discovered some other very fine juices right in my own back door.

I'll just add that expressing an opinion has nothing to do with being right or wrong, it's an opinion which are not fact based, if it's a fact/true it's no longer an opinion it's a fact and many people don't get that, shame.

Vapeing is growing like wildfire, and many many B&M's are springing up all around me, so I experiment with them all.

Juggy will always be one of my go to suppliers, hands down. The effort is worth it, after all it's only time.

Generally speaking my fondness of learning about Vape stuff no longer requires ECF, so I don't hang here like I used to I'm a VET now and know all I need at this time to continually Vape very very happily. Of course I'll pop in now and then but that's it, I've moved on so to speak.
This has nothing to do with Juggy but with life itself.

Hoping everyone has a great Vapeing time.....

Why is there still a few hundred posts a day or even 10 after a day he is open. I would assume I'm doing a better job then you after this statement. Seriously,....

seems like my predictions were right.... Not sure what you are calling me out for here, but I'd sure like to hear it.

Seems like I read the market pretty well I think. Amuse me if I am wrong.

We valued the market very high, then we cut back as he cut back. Read from page one to now, and you can see the value move up and down. When he was best in Canada we were going to pay top dollar and. Ow he has slid into barely registering in the top ten.

Funky Vapes used to sell off of forums. Then he got way too busy and just sells through retailers. Maybe selling bulk to retailers is the better way for Juggy to go whether customers choose to re-bottle/re-brand or not. It's definitely less labour on his end. I have a friend who had a brand of seasonings and used to compete for shelf space at grocery stores. 5 years ago he decided to leave his brand and now just sells the raw ingredients for the seasonings to his former competitors. Instead of dealing with orders and shipping for 3500+ stores he just provides for 8 companies. He's not the big well known brand that he initially wanted to be....but with the amount of income he's generating now.....he really doesn't care.

...... like I don't have anything better to do, trust me, I do, but .......;)

Meh, he had a chance to take the world by storm, he backed off and now the market will treat it as such. It's too bad this could have been a great success story, but it is what it is now. There are just too many people out there's sure he may still make some money, but he could have been the biggest and the best.

Opinions are great, but I really don't see how your assumptions are benefiting anyone. Taking "the world by storm", being "a great success story" and being "the biggest and the best" are values of yours, and may not mean anything to him.

His mission statement has always been to help people quit cigarettes. He's done that, which adds up to success to me.

Predicting his downfall is your prerogative, but not very respectable on a list that bears his name IMO.

Anyone else place an order? After all the hype, in surprised it wasn't already closed 45 minutes after they opened. Luckily for me and unluckily for my wallet I got my order through.

Now I get to see what all the Jugheads hype is about.

I'm not surprised...... Don't overhype yourself as many of the flavours require a decent steep time before they become... Optimal. What did you order if you don't mind, just so we can give you a heads up.

It really is great juice, but some of it needs time before it becomes great.

Meh I can swing the sword the other way, by him not being open he is helping people to continue to smoke.

I didn't realize I had to be respectable, I have overtly praised his juice over and over again in many pages before this, but I am somehow disrespectful now, by stating the obvious?

He did have a chance to take the Canadian market by storm, he was a first mover and a great choice. Then his partner moved on and he had to start from scratch, since then he has moved way past what Juggie started as, but is held back by the same liabilities as what hampered the original partnership in the first place.

Don't pretend I have no clue what I am talking about and try to dismiss it as kindergarten level bs. I think I am much more aware of the situation then you know, but go on keep being condescending. I doubt you could add much if you weren't,

Every day that Juggie isn't available another person dies of cancer.

Let's stop being silly here.

Just in case you didn't read...... Did you know a small part of Juggies stock started with a partner and Juggie had to stop offering the juice as it was their partners recipe and they took it as they left?

I'm to the point now that I think I can almost pinpoint the farm, and I'm just a regular joe. I'm just going to walk up on Jugg and be like "I'm Kagey K, can I get some juice?" I'll even pay him for it.

Some people were just not born to be movers and shakers, I believe Juggie is one of these as am I. I choose to live simply within my means of my 40 hour check and turn down over 1500 hours of OT each year, keeping it simple smart guy...... Later in life i may regret it but shall,live with it.

I'll also note that as time has gone on, Vapers reach out regardless and find newer sources just because this vapeing phenomenom is so still infantile in nature. There are now a dozen Vape shops within 1/2 hour of me in TO, several have real good liquids.

Many things can change the course of ones path, and not one of us can predict it, even u Kagey, lol. No harm intended. I do believe part of what you state is correct but not the whole of the Juggie thing.

I have a year supply of juggy juice, and because of that will not be ordering until that year is up, that's my choice and not because of Juggie.

Life is like a box of chocolates.......

OMG really ? You wonder why people do not come back to this thread and yet you write this diatribe of how Juggy is failing and how he contributing to help people smoke. OH MY GAWD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dramatic much ?

Juggy makes great juice and it is his business so let him run it the way he sees fit without the judgement. Buy it or don't but to continue to bash him and his choices only steers people away from this thread further . You are entitled to your opinion but to continually rehash the same topic makes this a sad thread when it was once fun . Believe me we all got your point a view long ago .

I think the one thing we can all agree on is Juggy makes good juice !

Stating the obvious doesn't make you direspectful...it just makes you boring...and i apologize for just stating the obvious

You haven't posted anywhere else on ECF but here the past couple of months and they consist of nothing other than a bunch of "I told you so"s...I had no choice but to dismiss that as kindergarden level bs. But now that you feel the need to bring up dirt on Juggy's business history, I now just dismiss this as high school gossip level bs....bravo. Your motives are suspect. Enjoy his juice and move on.

It really is great juice, but some of it needs time before it becomes great.

So, this is what I ordered - all in 30 ml, 0 mg, 30pg/70vg bottles (weaning myself off the nicotine completely):

VG JokeSmoke 2.0 (this one is max VG)
A LiL`Lychee
E-PHLUIDZ
007: Monkey
Gen.Grunts Vanilla Custard
Echo Echo E-Joose
Happy Juice
PeanutButter Cups

We'll see how it goes.
