Agreed. I don't get it either. Why should anybody tell other people, especially strangers, what to do? This is a place to ask questions, give answers, and share our opinions and experiences. It's ok to ask about unpleasant or confusing changes as customers and community members. It isn't ok to tell people to get out just for voicing their concerns.

vaping Radioactive in my new KFL+ and LOVING it!

Please don't misunderstand me! I am not even suggesting that you or anyone else should leave. Oh hells no! We need everyone on this band wagon...and more!

Just saying: If it is too expensive for me, I don't buy it. I put my money where I get the most bang for the buck and that includes value as well as quality. For me, NT is going to be my core ejuice supplier for as long as I vape.

When I can swing the cost of a SR, I grab some. Now that they are not going to continue the SRs very much longer and there will be some price increases in the foreseeable future, I will force myself to put my money into stocking up on CB and Virus primarily.

I know it sounds rough but I am not trying to be mean when I say: "if it is too expensive, don't buy it" but that is not my point at all. We tell Clark and every other vendor what we want by our orders as much as any other way. If folks didn't buy the SR, he would probably stop making them.

Please don't think I disagree with your points either. I voiced concern over the price increase as well. Got my answer and accepted the reality of the situation. Sorry if I made you feel as though I was saying "Clark's way or the highway". Discussion of the issues is good. I sometimes just get frustrated and cut to the chase: Buy it or don't. I can be too black and white in my thinking sometimes. Yep.

I just spent way too much on my last order from NT but I wanted the stuffs and I did it. Now back to my stock up game plan. And my DIY supplies game plan. Won't be as good as NT but I think it is a decent plan since we don't KNOW what will happen to NT or anyone else.

Wow. For my sake, I think I am very happy you aren't doing it on that weekend. I am committed to the family reunion in TX for the hubs side of the family and it is written in stone.

So, it should be mailed with 'signature required' and age verification of the person required to sign. I know, I know, that makes too damn much sense and would never fly. There are ways to verify age. Really. Not that expensive, not that difficult. But this doesn't have much to do with rational solutions to the problems, now does it? Love my government so much....NOT!

I couldn't agree more. " Sir/ Mam, May I see your ID. Great, sign here"....."Thank You" and off you go. Its not as if none of us haven't heard this before. One has to wonder why things sometimes have to be so complicated. Oh wait!, Its government so it must be right.

A family picnic? I'll bring the ribs, beans, slaw and my famous homemade pickles.

Noted. Can't click like on this one though.

If that became a reality I am not sure we would continue to do the website, honestly.

Back to the Nicoticket pricing... you all see where this is headed. I'm not the type to pass the buck, but it should be more than obvious to all that much of this is outside my control. What I am doing is reacting to outside influence in the most fair and equtable way possible. For Katy and I, it's extremely important to honor and reward the people who made this opportunity possible... that's you folks. I'd say there's some pecking order but there really shouldn't be - at this point we haven't even celebrated our 1st anniversary so we consider everyone early adopters. Supporting a small business and helping make our collective dreams come true should pay lifetime dividends - we intend to make that happen.

It should be obvious to all that with expansion comes additional cost. I can't disclose specifically what investments are being made presently, but I should be able to soon. What I can say is that we are proceeding with the expectation that we will be AEMSA CERTIFIED (not just AEMSA equivalent), GMP certified, and ISO compliant. There are no specific guidelines for our specific industry with regard to what exactly needs to be done, but we can speculate as to where it's going to land based on the food/beverage industries and other alchemical laboratory specifications/considerations.

If we wanted to be a flash in the pan vendor who got into the game, turned maximum profit with minimal investment, business as usual would continue. If price is the only consideration for any of you, I have no doubt there will be less expensive options in the marketplace - vendors whom are making absolutely no investment and whom fully intend to exit the marketplace when the regulations do go into effect. This amounts to supporting a short-sighted get rich quick vendor VS. supporting a vendor who is willing to make sufficient investment to ensure that you have your favorite liquid into the indefinite future. We're taking a HUGE risk by taking the high road... but we believe this community is absolutely worth it.

Nicoticket is my only vendor. It's NT or DIY. Of those 2 options, I'm rooting for NT.

Agreed SC, I used to have one more but realized I was reaching for my beloved GCD more often than ANYTHING else. Yes, I can build a fort out of my GCD... NT comes out on top in every way for me!

I've put other juices in my REO & it just feels all wrong. It's like the REO becomes a spoiled child if there's no GCD in it. I don't make that mistake any more.

Yeah, it's like the mod is all sad and lonely for its beloved GCD.....so very sad...

 

[fraychek]

I'm not going to lie here, I have 2 other venders and sort of 1 other that I depend on for my permanent staples closet. But NT is the only one I will follow whatever happens and wherever it goes. Of course I have to hope it goes to the B&M that's less than a mile from my house . . .

For some strange reason the contents of this box tends to sit. Its all Clark's fault!

 

[distortoblotto]

So we are all MOVING IN TOGETHER???
Please pick a warmer place than my current location. I can leave tomorrow.

If I can cuddle between you and the hubs, consider it done. LMAO

Move over a wee bit. Can I have some pillow please.....

We were planning on having one to coincide with the Midwest Vapers Convention here in Omaha - but they planned it on Father's Day Weekend. *sigh*

Any chance of providing data that would convince them to move it? Maybe statistics of attendance on Father's Day vs. the weekend before or after?
