That happens to me a lot. I end up buying 6 and 0 and mix it. It's not a scam. The juice arrives in equal amounts and I just so happens that the 3 nic gets sold out first. Like you said, it's the most sought after one.

This ^^^. Not only that, you can mix 6 and 0 mg juice to any mg between 6 and 0 just by changing the ratio you mix.

Sounds good to me ;)

Why would the juice arrive in equal amounts? Don't they order the different strengths based on sales demand?
I agree with Ginny, poor inventory management.

They SHOULD not all do and not all suppliers can keep up with demand. Also, they may have a contract where they are only shipped a certain quantity.

it could be a scam, if stores don't even order enough 3 mg, and then turn around and "have" to sell you 2 bottles (i.e. 0 mg and 6 mg) instead of just one bottle of what you actually wanted
:)
just a thought

Doesn't make sense for a b&m to do that as it would just make customers look elsewhere. In doing that they would be gambling with there customer base which wouldn't be smart. Ordering more 3mg nic would be a more logical and safer solution to keep the customer coming back.

The hole in that theory is you are buying double the amount of juice so you will not order again for double the amount of time so the money spent at the shop is the same.

Edit: the part I never understood is why is a bottle of 0 the same price as as a bottle of 24? But in this instance mixing 1to1 6 amd 0 to get 3 the indigence are the same as if you bought a equal amount of 3

I suppose if 0 was way cheaper than lets say 6 everyone would just buy 6 and mix it to get 3 but then if it was priced according to the nic content you would still be paying the same amount.

I got an idea.....buy small bottle of unflavored nic so when stuck in that situation again, you can buy a single bottle of zero, take it home and put a few drops in,shake it and call it a day?

much better to be a victim of the juice barons than do something practical! ;)

My local B&M doesn't order 3 mg juice, even if the manufacturer has it. They only carry the more common strengths....0 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg and 18 mg. When I've been buying juice from there, I have only been buying 6 mg. The one time I bought 12 mg I didn't notice until a few weeks later that the one bottle I had bought had an expiration date that was a couple of weeks before I bought it.
