I noticed on Monday that as of June 1st, you will no longer be able to order anything under 30 ml unless you choose a sampler. I'm not sure if this is a wise idea or not. On Juggies end it makes sense, it it a lot less work for him. As a consumer it encourages me to experiment less, as I don't want to commit to a 30 ml of something I may not like.

I tended to order I 20's since they gave me a chance to sample, while having extra if I liked them. I can say this new rule has got me thinking about how I may find new flavours. It's a double edged sword and I don't want 30 ml of every flavour I think I might like, so maybe this is a good thing for me. I can save some money and stick by the the tried and true. Economically, I'm not sure it is good for him, but workload should be easier.

I am definitely getting an order in this Thursday unless Juggy decides not to open up..LOL. Do you guys recommend a PG/VG ratio ?. I usually stick around 50/50, but also tend to like higher VG ratios without sacrificing flavor too much. Don't want problems with juice not wicking properly either. Never ordered from him before. I am wondering if his juices are on the thinner side or thicker.

I generally do 50/50 too, but I've never had a problem with Juggy's VG line of juices. Don't quote me, but I think he thins them. They don't seem that thick and I've never had any wicking problems.

Given that it probably takes as much time to mix a 10ml as it does a 30ml, I'd say economically it's a smart decision, or at least a step in the right direction. From what I can tell, most people who order a dozen 10ml bottles only end up re-ordering a tiny handful of those in larger quantities. And his 30ml prices are only a buck or two more than a lot of vendors charge for 10ml.

For those of us who follow this thread, I don't think it's that hard to find new flavours, we can help each other out, between us we've probably tried a hundred of them.

I don't find them too thick either, they all wick well in whatever I put them in. I've had 50/50s from other vendors that are thicker than Jug's 100% VG line, he seems to mix them to the same consistency to be all-device friendly (I think it's even mentioned on the site somewhere).

I read that a couple days ago Juggy discontinuing the 10 ml bottles in June. It does suck when wanting to sample some juices. His 30 ml are between $11-$13 which is a pretty darn good price to begin with. I don't see it as too big of a loss considering the prices he charges.

Wow, Juggy's prices for 30ml are what others charge for 20 and 10ml . Who can blame him, it is just good business sense what he is doing.Can you imagine making tons of tiny small bottles for the price he was charging and then buying all the different bottle sizes as well. If him changing this makes you not want to recommend him than that is just nuts and you will be the one missing out. There will be still tons of us that will continue to keep him in business.

My last order from him involved 10 flavors (10ml) each. I will not buy anything more then that if I've never tried the flavor before.

Please follow up when you order ten different 10ml bottles from another vendor (excluding sample packs, which Jughead will still offer), with a ballpark figure for the cost, and how you think the juice compares to Jughead's. Genuinely curious, not trying to stir the pot.

I see about $7-8 from the cheaper Canadian vendors for 10ml bottles, and a lot of those are just using Chinese bases. The ones that don't, some of them don't offer anything other than 30ml bottles (nothing against them, I've tried some interesting ones from ColdTurkey, Evaperated, Stinky Canuck, and probably others if I think about it -- support them if you like their offerings), and offer far fewer flavours and nic level options.

He could have just raised the prices across the board, and I would have been fine with that, but given that I buy in 30, 60, and 150ml quantities from him, I'm pretty okay with this.

Fresh-Baked-Bread-Copy.jpg

It starting to feel a lot like Christmas. First it snowed, then I got my very first Jughead's Vap Mail! I ordered a ton of savouries and here is my first review.

Freshly Baked Bread With Butter - 5 stars
Wow! I am not a sweets person, I love savoury flavours. For my first order, I ordered several "dare" flavours. I ordered this bread juice with butter. It exceeded my expectations. I used a brand new Davide glassomizer that I purchased for my savouries. I reminded me of being a kid and coming home after school to the smell of freshly baked bread. I would slice off a thick piece of crust and slather it with butter while it was still warm. Mmmmmm. This has the same taste as the fresh baked crust. Not sweet, just yummy. I am enjoying it with an ice cold beer and clam and it is heaven. Crispy browned crust taste on the inhale and buttery on the exhale. This needs to be removed from dare flavours because there is nothing scary about it. I will try mixing it with a bit of fruit e-juice to see if it tastes like jam on bread. I am excited to think that this might get even better with steeping. Tons of vapour too, which I did not expect. This is my first try of Jughead's juice and it is divine. I can't wait to try the rest and write more reviews.

Say what? Do you mean michelada style or...?

Anyway, you are a true hero, I would never have ordered a 'bread with butter' vape (even though I think the savoury/dare juice is exempt from the June 10ml embargo), but now that you have, I think I just might. After you let us know what it's like with a fruity mix.

Beer and clamato juice to drink. It is a Western Canadian thing mostly and has been my favourite drink for many years. Some call it a Red Eye. After the Riders won the Grey Cup, I call it Ti-Cat Blood. Hmmm, I wonder if Jughead could make me a beer and clamato vape??

(I just googled michelada and it sounds great, might have to try it this weekend)

Sounds like some of you are getting pretty defensive.. the "Oh well he has a bunch of other customers" is a pretty poor attitude.

Anyways, asking someone who hasn't tried Jugheads before to pay $13 a bottle for something he/she may not even like is a bit much. It's a shame we get over-charged for juice in Canada. I am currently ordering 10ml bottles for $3 a piece in the US. I found a couple I really like so I will be ordering larger quantities of them now.

That's the point of 10ml bottles after all. Who is going to order another 10ml bottle of something they've already tried?

10ml bottles of juice are annoying and time consuming to make , and that's about all it comes down to I think. Measuring out .85ml of a flavour is just annoying. When I do a test run of a new recipe I'm working on I do 30ml bottles for that exact reason. I can personally sympathize with him on that (assuming that's the reason).

FYI, Juggie being located where he is, makes it impossible to hire help, so he has cut back on the smaller bottle, which doesn't include the dare flavors you can still get them I'm small bottle, Juggie also supplies much larger as in liters to other vendors, not sure if that has gotten off the ground yet, this would make it easier for Juggie to supply large quantities to local and other vendors, who would then sell with their other lines, this would help us if it works out to buy everyday from other vendors.

Juggie is trying his best to accommodate his and your situations.
