I, for one, hope Chris can work it out to stay open. He has great juice and tries to keep his prices (too) low. He has had so many things go wrong, and has fought back from them all. He asked what we wanted and tried to please us all. Too many options, then had to scale some of them back as unrealistic at his price point. I really want to see him pull through this rough patch, and continue to fight for his dream. Chris has many loyal customers that love his flavors, lets give him our continued support.

darn, i was considering you for a supplier for a shop i am opening.
the camel was great.
so was tobacco road.

Levi's sire... You and I are two peas in a pod my friend. Those 2 juices are my favorites as well. So much so that I still have a massive pending order with L7 for those flavors so I can DIY. (Enough for a year or so :D)

I'd even be open to buying some of his surplus.

About 3-4ml per day for me SJ. DIY'ing Lucky 7's e-juice should be easy to replicate if all he used was the single ingredient which he also sells as a bulk flavor. I have Camel Juice and Tobacco Road flavors coming (I hope). Already have base nic, PG & VG. I hope it's just a matter of adding the flavor to suit my tastes. Not sure of the ratio but I'll figure it out.

We both should have bought full liters at what... $55? (Assuming part of his problem wasn't his own supply channels).

Kodiak, L7's Banana Nut Bread is one of my favorites, so I bought some of his DIY flavor along with the regular juice. Chris had said in a post a while back that his flavors were mixed at 15 to 20%. I tried it at both and the 20% mix was excellent.

Chris,
Sorry to hear about your problems with Lucky7. I really hope you can overcome all these problems and continue with your company as I know you have put your heart and soul into it the last six months or so.
If you do decide to get out of the juice business it would be a shame for your wonderful recipes to go away as you have the best flavors I have vaped. Just a thought for you to consider if you do shut down Lucky7 is to just sell the flavor extracts that are used for your recipes for DIY in the future. This would require a lot less labor, would not be effected by FDA actions most likely, etc. You could just sell the 120ml size(keep it simple with only one size) and charge whatever makes it worth your time and effort.

+1!

DIY, reduced variety, higher price, whatever it takes to keep those flavors alive. You have created wonderful things, it would be a shame to let them pass into oblivion.

To lose these great flavors would truly be a shame! My Kayfuns and I both would be really sad.

Ill say it again, id be willing to diy to keep my mps, although a 120 bottle would prabably last me a few years... Id say start smaller...

Chris,
I wish the best for you and yours . Only you know what you're up against and what your best options are.
I see enough folks around here talking about raising your prices that it should be seriously considered. If this is the end of L7V, I will really miss my morning banana bread vapes and evening vanilla custards, they are just too good!

Honestly, I don't think most of your customers would even bat an eye at 50% price increase. I know that sounds like a lot, it is not, comparatively.

There is no point running a business that drains you, make it worth your time and effort.

Best of luck to you, Chris.

As of now, we are going to be shutting down. Unless a miracle happens, we may be able to stay up and running. We would atleast have to leave the site turned off until we could get everything caught up, and then reopen, if we did. We have had numerous issues since day 1 with the site, credit card processing, employees, inventory etc. We hate to see it all end now. Everyone has worked hard to get to where we are now. We have a lot of faithful customers (thank you) and a lot of people who hate us (sorry!) We will continue to fight and try and stay open.

I am sorry to hear that Chris and I wish you the best of luck in getting things going again. I just hope that all the current orders get fulfilled as you will have a whole new can of worms to deal with if they do not. My card has been charged for my recent order (6097) so I would expect to see it in the not too distant future being that I placed it over a week ago.
