Good morning and happy Thursday, shinies <3 Yesterday was a day of extremes. I got an automated message from my double-secret source for cheap Prohibition Sin Tax (peanut butter custard) and Ridin' Shotgun (vanilla cookie pudding) that my recent order had been cancelled and my payment had been refunded. I was understandably confused by this since it was an order I had repeated many times with a frequently used payment source.
My subsequent emails to their support address are bouncing back as undeliverable from the mailer-daemon, too. It looks like they just packed up shop and went on the lam this week. With no way to contact them, I'll just have to assume they are gone for good. That's a bummer. As anyone who enjoys Prohibition Juice Co like I do can tell you, their regular retail price is steep. Buy the first 100ml you find on Google and it will run you about $30. My source had been slowly raising their price over the past couple of years but it was still about half of MSRP for a 100ml.
There were some warning signs, now that I think about it. My last two orders had the nicotine ratio mixed up and one of the replacement orders still had one of the wrong strength in it. They ended up doing a partial refund on that one. Maybe their distro had become unreliable and with all of the recent red tape, they just said screw it and closed their doors. It's a sad day, though.
But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, a ray of light bled through. I got a shipping notice for my white RCM Infinity Twist. It was picked up by Russian Post today and is now in the system. Fingers crossed as it clears customs.
So when the vape gods close one door, they often open another
