Pick 10

[57chilicat]

If I can't have Be Mine, I have to go with:
Frenilla, Raz cup, Banana Pudding and Wakonda. 5th choice, just in case would be PBC!!! But rest assured that no matter the decision, I will always be filling my cart!

 

[57chilicat]

I really want to try strawberry cheesecake and Or3o before the final ten become set in stone! I've heard so much about Or3o!!!!!!!! You have really spoiled me with all the great short runs. But I am so glad I found Nicoticket before they all go away. This really is making me so sad that now I must drown my sadness in Banana Pudding!

 

[TyrannyUnleashed]

Not voting, but...

OMT = OMG (it's splendid fresh and after a two week steep it's out of this world good)

 

[TyrannyUnleashed]

Oh and one more...

CLS > Freeeenila > CB

Unles you go back to the first version of CB

Or3o


But I'm not voting so this doesn't count

 

[catmomma]

Strawberry Custard, or Strawberry Frenilla is a serious YES, PLEASE!!!
Orange Mango Tango, OH YEAH, see, my favorite thing about fresh mango is that slightly resin-y/pine-y taste it has, if the OMT has that I'm gonna love it.

Clark, as far as the CLS/CB/Frenilla quandry: IMHO, to the greater public CLS is your signature juice. Vanilla Custard is a HUGE chunk of the global vaping menu. Every vendor has one pretty much, and it's a flavor that is debated in thread after thread after thread. And you can't read one of those threads without the majority bringing up CLS. The only other custard that gets as much attention is Grant's and we all know you can't even get it. As much as CLS is closer to Frenilla than CB, I think it would be detrimental to drop it. CB would be the one to drop if any. I'm thinking here not as a NT regular but from the point of view of what I read in the e-juice forums. Frenilla to me has always been like a special "reserve" juice, only available at certain times and that makes it special. I don't know why that would have to change. I'm a retail manager, so I'm coming at this from a retail/marketing perspective. It's sometimes good to have a "special" juice that is much sought after. Of course all this is just an opinion and I don't know all of your particulars or thought process with narrowing down the assortment, but that's my 2 cents.

Orange Mango Tango
Orange Mango Tango by Nicoticket | All the Juices

This eclectic fusion of orange and mango leaves subtle hints of green apple, nectarine, peach, and pineapple flavor on the palate. There is a definite “piney” finish that is an “acquired taste,” but like most acquired tastes (coffee, for example) – it’s irresistibly good to the finish. Every individual customer seems to taste something different in this fruit fusion. Try it today, leave a review, and let us know what you taste!

I still have a big bottle (50ml) of OMT. At the time I ordered it, I liked it better than BG or Gravity. I still have it, minus a few mls., because I've been busy vaping so many other juices.

That sounds delightful...I may move this to the top 10...sounds "Refreshing".

OMT was the other "difficult to cut" flavor from the original expanded line-up. It was really popular - it got some very good traction very early due to some well placed reviews, garnered quite a cult following.

Oh geez...

My preference:

• Frenilla
• CLS
• Virus
• Betelgeuse
• Banana Pudding
• Peanut Butter Cookie
• Wakonda?
• Saving my last 3 votes...

What I think would make most business sense:

Virus - No brainer. I like it a lot, and even if it's not my favorite it is probably the most widely loved.

Naki's Blend - Best of both worlds, I guess. I like CLS a lot more than CB, and I like Frenilla even more than CLS, but from the little knowledge that I have of what goes into making Frenilla, I don't think it's the best business decision to choose it over CB/CLS. This KILLS me to leave out CLS and Frenilla because I honestly think I would be able to survive with just these two alone.

GCD or Clark's Blend - I could live without GCD or Doodle, but too many cannot. I would not cut GCD. Doodle, to me, is similar enough to GCD to consider leaving out. Clark's Blend, IMO, is better than both of these.

I don't think these are as similar as they are made out to seem. I prefer BG greatly over Gravity, but they would both be great sellers:
Betelgeuse
Gravity

These will provide a wider range of great flavors:
Peanut Butter Cookie
Wakonda
Raz Cup
Radioactive
Banana Pudding or some kind of menthol flavor (I think menthol needs to seriously be considered, strictly as a business decision. I smoked menthols, and I vaped menthols almost exclusively when I switched over. Some vendors even put most of their focus on menthol flavors.)​

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

I'm not sure I could churn out enough Frenilla to do anything BUT short runs, we'd have to make 55gal drums of extract, lmao

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

I think it's a great point....lots of people looking for menthol.


I was never a menthol smoker and never looked for it in a vape.
I always thought fruit + menthol/mint sounded gross till I got some as samples....was shocked how much I liked them. I keep a few hanging around.

 

[catmomma]

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

I used to smoke menthol. Most menthols are just heavy mint with koolada that totally miss the point of menthol. I vape 1 menthol atm. It's called Frozen Pond by Quack's Juice Factory. It's like a dessert vape with menthol. They hit it exactly right. I get the same feeling of menthol as when I smoked without the heavy mint. In fact I don't get any mint. It's up there as a "never out" juice for me.

 

[CorallineAlgae]

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

I keep mint and menthol flavors on hand but I don't know that it would be worth dropping a proven flavor to add it. The argument to put one in the 10 is definitely valid so it may make marketing sense. I wouldn't recommend saying what you dropped to put the menthol though. Loads of people vape it but they don't come here to get that. When the market changes that may change also but I say stay true to your identity if possible. Somebody else will survive to service the menthol market. You can't hit every flavor profile with 10 offerings without sacrificing a proven winner. It should be possible to add or swap it later if the demand is there.

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

I was a menthol smoker for 40+ years. My first juices were all mentholated fruits and when it was offered I had you "frost" mine. That all started to change once I got "infected". I have a fruit in my kfl+ clone, but my Reo's are loaded with the Virus, Radioactive, and Naki' mix and I hit those all day. I'd say leave it off. People could frost to their taste with juice from another vendor.

My choices:

'Virus - no explanation needed.

Radioactive - a different type of infection.

Naki' Mix - the best of both emerge in this.

Wakonda - when more people taste it they'll know why.

Gravity - Katy's choice.

GCD - MKR's choice.

The rest are open - I could easily live with just the above.

 

[distortoblotto]

Naki's Mix? A great way to merge two and make room for another while still having a stellar custard style vape in the line up.

Well played K2!

Tell ya what, if you were to decide to cut either CLS or CB for frenilla, I would say cut the CLS ( for me this is saying a lot lol as CLS and CB are my rotation juices in the REO), as for me they would be the most similar.

I have to reply to this with a resounding NO!!!
I absolutely must have CLS.
I love CB and Frenilla too, but... Frenilla would be hard to see go since it is the ultimate fixer for subpar juice, but after the vapocalypse, there may not be many left around to fix. CB is amazingly good, but I think if you add a bit of H1N1 to CLS, you could get pretty close to CB.
There is no substitute for CLS. It's good on it's own and it's good mixed with others. Please don't let this one go!!! Please!!?!!!?!!!

 

[embee214]

My list:
CLS
H1N1
ROOT BEER FLOAT (why is this not in consideration???)
Radioactive
Wakonda

A strawberry custard would be good, and if you could make a minty vanilla tobacco, I would give that one the rest of my votes!!

 

[embee214]

Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

Me!
I keep some plain mint and/or menthol around to add to my Radioactive, sometimes to H1N1, Frenilla and CLS. Not much, but I like a little minty something pretty often. I think it would be a good call for all of those former menthol smokers who need a fix.

Frenilla - can't believe there's no * by this one. I know it's a pain to steep enough vanilla for this and CLS/CB, and they compete with each other to a degree, but they're different enough to sell. I'd venture that Frenilla is probably in your top 6 in sales.
PBC - once this is steeped in, it is a "can't put down until your sqonking finger is sore" juice. It is diversity in your dessert lineup.
Radioactive - need 2 tobaccos, and when I rotated it into an R91, it came alive, went through half a 50ml bottle in 3-4 weeks, and that means it is taking some Virus/CB/CLS/GCD/Frenilla time.

I have an order with the puddings in it that I asked you to hold while I'm beaching, so I'll hold a spot for now. Hate to see doodle go, but GCD is better for me. Grape Ape is very good, but is an "in the mood" juice.

My local vendor did a Strawberry Brûlée that is very well done, would love to try your take on that. Would also give vanilla pudding a thumbs up since it was the one thing your apprentice did well, though I won't buy it.

You need 12 juices anyway.
