Yup. That trouble makin' Berube is back! But it is not to make trouble.
First of all, someone else on the forum told me that the FSUSA people think I'm a plant from another juice company. HAH! That's just we-taw-did... I've known about e-cigs for a month and have been vaping for about two weeks. And in case you hadn't noticed, ordering juice in my noob phase has proven to be rather difficult.
Second, I haven't read what else has gone on in that thread since I had had enough of the fanboys and snobbery. Ultimately, what I said before still stands. I think the site needs to be cleaned up for ease of use to the un-anointed and the people replying (or not replying) to customers should do so with concern as opposed to being patronizing.
But all that isn't why I have returned.
Here is why I have returned. The juice I ordered showed up today. They got it sent quick and USPS did their job properly. Thank you. Yes, the edit I had hoped for had not been made, but considering the last few days on this topic, I already wasn't expecting it to have been edited.
Upon opening the package, I discovered my four bottles and a 3ml sample of RY4. Again. Thank you. I've been wondering why every juice store in the world sells this... Guess I'll find out soon.
But the thing that actually made me come back to this part of the forum was the receipt. Handwritten on it was:
"Thanks 'Berube'! Happy Holidays!" Adrian - "Thank You!" Maria - and "Thank You! Enjoy
" written by someone else who didn't leave a name. At the top were also two initials (FM and A) and check marks over each item to signify that two other people re-checked this order. Now keep in mind. At the time this had been sent, none of these people knew about the fracas in the emails and on the forum. Had they been in a postion to be aware, I would have thought it was ....-kissing, but it wasn't so.
In the end, while I have issues with the face of the company, the people working behind the scenes unknowingly rescued the possibility of making me become a repeat customer. It is obvious that they did their jobs well and did it with a huge smile. If nothing else, I would guess that the people that work for FSUSA adore their jobs. No doubt, I can give kudos to management for that.
I say give these folks a raise.
Anywho, I havent touched any of the flavors yet. I think I'm just gonna let em sit for a bit. I did smell them all tho. Ry4 smells chocolaty. Pizza smells like pizza, but more like 7-11 pizza as opposed to good pizza joint pizza. We'll see how I dig it. Not feelin' the vibe so far on smell. Irish Creme smells good! Can't wait to hit that one. Coconut... Smells like theater butter. That kinda bums me out cause I LOVE the smell of coconut. I hope it'll at least taste like coconut. And lastly... dun-dun-dun-duuuuuuuun... the one i had hoped to swap for regular chocolate (due to wanting to use it as a 100%vg mixer), the Cocoa Chaos. It smells like you are sticking your nose into a box of Count Chocula cereal. Funny thing is, when i opened the bottle to smell it, a little air bubble pushed out a teeny-tiny drop that wouldn't go back in the bottle. Like the size of maybe 1/5th of a regular drop. So I pulled out my Sidesho and dipped the bridge on the droplet. I had been vaping with Fireball candy for days with this atty. That one little cocoa droplet charged thru the cinnamon heat and slapped me in the face, destroying any hint of cinnamon. It took me three hours of dripping Fireball to get the Cocoa Chaos flavor out of the atty.
I'll get workin' on these and we'll see if there'll be another order coming from me. Stranger things have happened....
