i understand the continual tweaking, esp at this stage. what i'd like though, is to know when things have been tweaked, or at least get a heads up on when new lots are coming in and have them be sortable at the warehouse? cause i refuse to order fruit flav juices even though i hear they've been vastly improved, because i do-not-want some of the stuff i've had before.

Yes yes yes, I dreammmm of such a thing, as I'm increasingly feeling that I will hit an impasse. I've ordered in very large quantities since finally determining my favs months ago, but can't feel comfortable doing that anymore. (Maybe if it wasn't for the $10 Priority shipping that I don't need since I'm nearby, and the 10% local sales tax, I'd be more open to smaller more frequent 'experimental' orders... Then again there would still be no way to know if and when things finally had stabilized and wouldn't be different next time anyway. But V4L could help ease that if they saw fit...)

I know they don't have much time to keep ppl updated, so previously I suggested that maybe they could at least do something like post the last date of change for a given product within its description on their website? (Leaford stated that sometimes changes are unintentional and a surprise to them as well, so that would at least delay the ability to do this for some products, but still, some attempt should be made.)

Understanding can and should be afforded about the growing pains and transformations but even so, surely customers deserve 'real time' notice of changes (ideally including unintentional or temporary ones) by now, or clear efforts towards it... Shouldn't have to find out after placing hundred or several hundred dollar orders that the items purchased in multiples are not what we thought they'd be, and even proceed that way indefinitely...

I have been doing pretty well on equipment. Of the 7 batteries I bought, all are working fine except one finicky one that needs the center post lifted up once in awhile. Only had one bad carto out of 100 or so (wrecked threads)...but didn't bother to report it since I am still ahead of the game because of the freebie cartos I have gotten over time.

Flavor tinkering has me concerned, though. If you think about it....cigarette companies never tinkered with flavors even if they did slip us some new addicting chemical now and then. I can honestly say that finding Kant was more than just finding something I liked. It was THE flavor that replaced smoking for me. Up til then, it was all just multi-flavored vapor. Kant made it a real cigarette replacement for me. Hard to explain and put in words what I mean, so hope you catch my drift. And maybe others have had that one flavor that said to them, "Hey...this is the one that will beat the cigs." ;)

Gotta be the atomizer part I guess cause no vape at all. Switched to a different cartomizer no problem, put one of the duds (as I'm calling them) and nothing.

Try using a pin to gently lever the power post up. Not too far or too hard, or you might cause it to leak. But it may have gotten pushed down and not be making good contact.

me too, maxx. Kant was IT for me. If you find another tobacco flavor like Kant, please share it.

Parlament came close and was going to be my "go to" tobacco flavor....until I tried Kant. Stopped testing after that. However, I did get the new premium tobacco sampler this time around. Should get it Friday or Saturday. I read posts from lots of people saying that they would rather vape than smoke now. That stage hasn't happened for me yet....and likely won't without a good tobacco flavor. I still smoke a few analogs a day (not complaining...down from 2 packs), but oddly enough...it's for the flavor...not the nicotine. Go figure..... :confused:

Anyway...I really don't want to go back to testing. I haven't really been able to enjoy the money savings from smoke since I keep buying test flavors. Tired of playing the field and ready to settle down now. :D

Once again, the change in Kant was not intentional. And I am having Mark send me samples of the old Kant, so we WILL get it back. I am vaping a Kant right now, and all I can say is that it doesn't taste bad to me. I think I can taste what you mean by "ashtray taste" but I remember the old Kant had a "real smoke" taste to it, so that's probably why I didn't notice it when doing my pretesting.

Once again, I promise the old Kant WILL be back.
