I have been holding off on a Menthol comment while waiting to take "Coolcumber Mint" out for a spin.

I believe that a menthol based vape is important to have in any worthy line-up even though I am not really a menthol guy.

With that being said, I only use menthol to clear the palette when feeling the dreaded vaper tongue coming on.

Up until now, the only menthol I have carried in my inventory has been California vaping Company "Re Fresh."

All of that has changed today with the addition of "Coolcumber Mint" Not only is it great but, it is the first and only menthol I would consider as an all day vape.

Gee, Stacy, really? Lol :)
What can I say? I love me some Doodle :D While I rotate between the rest of the lineup I always have Doodle within arms reach :wub:
If you would have just slipped in ONE little GCD I would have given you 100 likes, LMAO. :D

Didn't have to. I knew Meg had the GCD covered x1,000,000+ ;)

Wow, tough choices to say the least and someone is going to be unhappy. I know your planning ahead but what's the actual timeline here?
If it's FDA related we could be talking about anywhere between 2-4 years before we have to worry about it. It's quite possible there are flavors you'll bring out in that time that will make the Top list.

CB/CLS I prefer mixed and it's not even close.
Frenilla is far too versatile to not keep a spot even if it's once every 2 months.
PBC is in my TOP 2
Doodle and GCD close enough maybe to lose one, I stress maybe!
I prefer Gravity over BG but like them both and have tanks loaded with each.
No coffee vape for me at all, I don't drink and can't stand it.

I don't envy you making these kinds of choices one bit. Seasonal juices seem almost like a MUST have. I'd just ask you to reconsider the 10 flavors only at least for now, 15 and you'd keep everyone pretty happy. :p

Hahaha, I'm right there with you fellow GCDaddict. I can't stand coffee either. If someone accidentally marks my tea as a coffee and I drink it, my mouth is ruined for like an hour. ::shivers::

Tough call. Doodle is always in my rotation, but if it got dropped I would probably just start vaping GCD more, maybe mix it with a little bit of Frenilla.

I vape Frenilla daily, Doodle and BSP pretty much daily, and Betelgeuse almost daily. I have a feeling Wakonda would be daily too, haven't tried it yet though. Raz Cup hasn't clicked for me yet but I can't wait for the strawberry vape that I've seen mentioned.

OK, now I get to pick two more......

Wakonda (Cause I am letting it steep but I am gonna LOVE IT)
Frenilla (cause so many people just love this...however, if you keep it as a deep steep, every three month offering...then I would add..)
Raz Cup with a bit more Raz, please.

You know me, I am always a trouble maker. Sorry. But that is what I would put my money on! And do!

In my honest opinion, you could remove BG and put PBC in. BG never really hit for me.

Radioactive is really important because so many people really like it. I don't personally need both Virus and Radioactive.

If Radioactive didn't make the cut, I would suggest adding the Banana Pudding. Mine is steeping and it was OK at first blush. I think it will be awesome as it matures. Right now it is a banana candy flavor for me.

So, my two alternates are:
PBC and Banana Puddin'

So then comes the hard part.

In light of the change in direction for NT, as far as distribution, is Frenilla realistically an option? As someone mentioned earlier, can you seriously churn out enough of this to satisfy promised amounts? Not that I'm doubting you, just that we all know it's a tough one to produce the required amounts.

That said, if you're confident you can do it, then Frenilla has to be one of the ten. So many people use it for mixing as well as just a straight up vape. So as a business move, it makes sense.

PBC also has to be one as Katy will have your bits in a vice. No-brainer there then.

So there's really only two to choose.

For me personally, one would be Grape Ape. Initially this didn't really do much for me, but after a couple of months steeping, this is so full of mouth-watering goodness, that I struggle to put it down sometimes. However, there doesn't seem to have been much love here for GA, so I don't know. Sales figures would tell their own story I guess.

Raz Cup didn't do much for me personally and I've not yet tried, Be Mine, Banana, BSP or Wakonda. However, Wakonda seems like it's an obvious choice.

Firstly it's a tobacco based juice, and the only other one you have is TV. Secondly, it's the only beverage based juice. Third, it's coffee and you colonists love your bloody coffee. Even more than a nice cuppa tea, for some weird reason.

Whichever ones you choose as a company, we'll all support you. Unless you get rid of Virus.

If you pick between BG or Gravity, make it BG. I really like Gravity, but BG just hits better for me. I also agree, Frenilla definitely needs to make the cut. It is awesome on its own, but mixes so well with other juices that it almost transforms them into other flavors. Just to versatile to cut.
And I agree, wouldn't want to have to make the final decision on this, good luck Kent.

OK, I haven't been loving my fruits lately. And I could maybe support your BG over Gravity, but I know I will get back into fruits later on. I love Gravity. Just meh on BG. If Gravity doesn't make it, I will order BG and probably mix with Frenilla or CB. Then it will be just fine. I can always try some DIY. BUT< BUT< BUT! Clark makes the best fruit in the world and it is called Gravity. Pewp.
