I'm relatively new to V4L, and have tried about five flavors so far besides the menthol sampler pack. I was surprised by which flavors I loved, and which didn't do it for me. With all the many flavors V4L has, it would be pretty expensive to try all of them and find my unexpected favorites just by ordering a 5-pack of each. Would it be a huge hassle to institute a new sampler order... one where you could pick one of each of different flavors, and to offset the labor cost of assembling them, maybe charge a dollar or two extra for them? Cause I know I'm never ever going to order a five pack of orange juice, but who knows, it may be the "one" for me? And if not, then I will have only lost out on one cart, rather than a full five? I think this may open up new doors to trying flavors, for the customers that don't have the extra cash laying around to throw at 5-packs of untested flavors.

Hey Luda - I know this question has been answered before (and the answer was no which I TOTALLY understand) BUT I don't believe anyone ever mentioned paying a premium for it, I know I would.

But I would probably venture the answer would still be no because if you look at it premium carts cost $10.95

$10.95 / 5 = $2.19 and 5ml bottles cost $2.95

I lost quite a bit in the beginning because I was impatient and bought 5 packs of a lot of flavors I did not like when in reality if I was more patient I'm sure I eventually would have gotten to try out more flavors as a result of the freebie cartos I've gotten with almost every order.

Sick of buying so many 5 packs and not liking them I bought blanks and started buying the $2.95 5ml sample bottles.

So I was able to try 5 sample flavors for $23.50 ($2.95 x 5 + $8.95 for box of blanks) instead of spending $50-$60 for Five 5 packs.

Also, the trading threads are usually pretty active so if you don't want to do the blank carto / 5ml juice thing and buy 5 packs and wind up not liking the flavors finding someone to buy or trade them with is pretty easy.

So I was able to try 5 sample flavors for $11.90 ( - 10% ) instead of spending $50-$60

Hey Yanks, thanks for the info, I was afraid it had already been discussed, I was just too lazy to go through all of the posts to find it ;)
I figured it would be a hassle for them, and understand that they try to make up for it with the freebies - who am I too complain, that they have too MANY flavors that I'm just itching to try?
I managed to trade out two packs of flavors that I wasn't into with the swap thread, glad for it.
I figured I'd ask in case no one else had yet, a little big in the britches of me I guess ;)

I don't think so - it was asked quite a long time ago so you would've really had to dig. Not like when the premiums were first announced and there was 6 posts going all on the same page asking what was so PREMIUM about the Premiums :lol:

I feel you on the "itching to try MANY flavors" thing and so does my credit card. ;)

One good thing about not trying everything is then their would be no samples to surprise you with! I got a free USB charger once as my freebie and I was like: 8-o NO New Flavor To Try? :cry:

Then I realized: I bought so many they probably figured I was killing my batteries and needed another way to charge 'em ;)
