Heh. I know a couple of folks that shop there, but haven't heard any juice reviews yet.
I make my own juice so never had a reason to try them, but folks ask me about the place and I'd like to give them some insight.
Taste is pretty subjective. I made a batch that tasted just like Altoids Wintergreen mints to me. When my sister, also a vaper, asked what I had, I handed her my PV. She took a drag and promptly threw up into the sink. Then proceeded to cuss me out over how horrid it was while I laughed and vaped. (Nobody could ever tell we are siblings, eh?) It was the last time she ever accepted a drag from my PV though.
You should be able to get into PIF and Classifieds now. Good luck in your trading!
Yes, taste is subjective, agreed, but flavor is not. When a flavor is clearly off the ball, or has an obvious bad taste, something has to give.
If you go buy a fountain Coke, not everybody likes coke, but everybody would agree that its a coke, or at least a cola if they taste it. If it tasted like cola, with some spray deodorant added, youd certainly be at the counter getting your money back, at least on the second try. Something really needs to change in that respect. Some vendors are getting over pretty good with their "get out of jail free" card.
I bought my first PV in 2007 and probably vaped a gallon of Cash's Cola over many months but I went back to cigs as I got tired of rebuilding the atty cuz they werent easily available. Started back vaping about 4 months ago and have spent quite a bit of $$ on juice that would be unvapable to anybody and it hasnt always been cheap stuff.
AlmightyGod, your right, Mike treats is customers right, but hes not the typical vape shop owner. I suspect most vape store operators/owners are young guys/gals trying to make a buck, thats not the case with IVS.
