On my initial Protege order, I also purchased a CashCap flavor and grew to love it (not the old Cinnamon/milky one, but the new Coffee/Chocolate one). So I waited for it to be restocked... which it finally did. I ordered it and when I received the mail today I was pretty happy that it finally came in after a month of waiting for them to restock. But... when I opened up the package I noticed that the color of the CashCap was different... it wasn't the yellowish-brown color I had seen before, but rather a reddish color. I contacted a friend of mine (another PS customer), and found that he also ordered another flavor from them and it also was reddish in color. So I figured "what the heck... they probably just changed the formula in a way that changed the color." So I went ahead and put 3 drips into my Protege and started smoking away. Then I noticed that the taste was off... it didn't have that Coffee/Chocolate undertone that I was expecting... rather it had a Cinnamon-y taste to it that I didn't rather like. So I went to the website to see if I had mixed up the flavors somehow.... and found that I didn't. "DISCLAIMER: Many of you fell in love with our *old CaSHcap* This new Cashcap is NOT the same as the old Cashcap. The old Cashcap had a Milky/Cinnamon/Honey undertone, where this one has more of a Coffee/Chocolate undertone. For those of you who loved the old CashCap ... we will be trying to bring it back again, named something else so we don't get the two flavors confused. Thanks!"

Now I'm usually satisfied with PS. They have only made one mistake in the past (I received a faulty switch with my Protege -- which they offered to fix; no questions asked). So I figured that I would contact them to see if it's possible that they sent me the wrong flavor. Well...come to find out, I was told that I ordered the wrong one and they couldn't replace it. Now according to their website, the new flavor has a coffee/chocolate undertone...which is what I ordered. I don't know how it is that I mistakenly ordered the OLD flavor which (so far) hasn't been brought back... and even in the disclaimer it states that they would rename it. So now I'm stuck with a flavor which I personally find disgusting, and all I want is to receive what I ordered... I'm not sure what happened to their Customer Service department, but I'm definitely disappointed in the feedback I received....:mad:

Hey Gray Fox ...

I understand I don't have the same taste buds as everyone else :) I have (2) Bottles of the Original Brownish/Yellowish CashCap. I opened the 24mg to smell and check. So I have (1) 24mg and (1) 36mg. Otherwise, we only have the new formula. If you would like either the 24mg or 36mg, let me know, and we can shoot that to ya!

To me, the new reddish formula tastes like coffee/chocolate -- Not like the old Cinnamon/Honey flavor - But - to be honest - Everyone thinks its something different! haha

Either way, let me know if either the 24mg or 36mg interest you, and I can have Casey pack it up and shoot it to you.

Thanks for the help Gibby. I understand. I'm a little bit confused now... When I ordered the Coffee/Choc CashCap with my Protege, the website had already said it was the new one, and I could distinctly taste the Choc/Coffee undertone. This one seems to be a mix of different things. Even had my gf taste what was left in my Protege, and she even said it didn't taste anything like Choc/Coffee...

Okay, maybe this will help. here is a timeline for you.

When PS opened, or at least in like Jan 09 or so when i started ordering from them, they had cashcap i think this was the Cinnamon/honey tasting stuff.

June or July of this year, the cashcap formula was adjusted to coffee/choclate, i think. There were some upset customers because they were expecting the old. Steve ended up telling everyone that if they weren't satisfied that they could trade it for a different flavor. This is when the disclaimer was put up.

This last batch Steve i think was trying something new, and adjusted the formula again. This is speculation as i haven't tried the most recent batch. Either way, i think it was clarified in another thread, but i can't find it.

Hope this helps.

LOL ... There was no coffee or chocolate flavoring in that blend!!!
Cash... in May you said that's what it was (original CashCap) Here is the thread and your post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/15743-now-cash-liquid-done-6.html#post268038
:confused:

I still have some here that I try once in a while to remind me! All Cinnamon/Milky/Honeyness going on there!!! LOL

Curtis -- its a small 5ml bottle with MAYBE 4ml left!!! lol .... not even worth it bud!
LOL... is it the bottle I sent you as a comparison when I returned my 180ml of "CashCap" back in September? Sure wish I had that 4ml to vape now, sniffle....

Steve, I don't think you caught my request earlier... can I add a bottle of the "new" llatest version (red) CashCap to my order? It is order #24069... I ordered on the 26th and haven't gotten a shipping notice from you yet.

BTW, regarding my latest order above - will this have the new longer mechanical switch for the Protege coming then (rather than the one people are having difficulty with)??? Any idea when this will ship? Thx!
