stop hating on strictly

Status
Not open for further replies.
There are a million threads about 510's. Should all but one or two of those be deleted too?

You seriously think they can be compared? If there is one thread about a blue foam mod which is 20 pages long and someone makes a new thread about the same thing right above it, it should probably be deleted. Reviews of a company do not need 20 threads.

Seems to me like you are back peddling though as what you just said had nothing to do with why you felt the need to address me in the first place.

This is fascinating. I understand the need to defend one's own choices, but to post a thread that is called "stop hating on strictly" is, IMHO, like daring someone to cross a line.

Right or wrong? Not for me to decide. Not for anyone to decide, really. Isn't that what free speech is all about - look, I'm not a Strictly eJuice customer and I'm throwing in my two cents.

I am not swayed by any of the threads that are either for or against a vendor. I have tried many that some thought were good and some not. I recognize that some people will have had a good experience with certain vendors and some not. Everyone's tastes are different and its all part of life.

Stictly eJuice? Haven't ordered from them and probably never will as long as Halo is open. That's just my preference, of course, and a shameless unrelated plug for a personal favorite.

The bottom line is that what you may think is the greatest vendor since the dawn of time that sells just the perfect product for you and your tastes may not be so great for someone else. If they have had a problem with that vendor or didn't like their product then they have every right to drop in and say so - that's the purpose of a forum - many opinions, some answers, and a LOT of hot air (myself included).

I respect what you said very much

I am not daring, tricking, taunting anyone into strictly but I do believe that 95% of the people that hate the company only hate it because of 2 things:

1) they did not simple email the company and ask them about the situation like a friendly ecf member should.
2) they are just going along witht he group saying its awful stuff when he or she might not have tried it.

I will admit I don't mind dekang but its not my favorite. I in no way hate it

I will say this though if you have 10 dollars and want to try one give it a shot... might surprise you

say that about another company it will run you 25+ thats a lot more money

Ok, I have ordered from SEJ, the Kona Coffee is sour, for whatever reason, it might be because of shipping, freezing temp. I don't know. All I know is that they replied to my concerns and tried to help me out. For me there is no option anymore to ask for a refund, they told me they will take care of that.

The inconsistency of the juice is what concerns me. You buy the same thing on two separate occasions and it doesn't taste the same. Does this mean that Dekang is putting out inconsistent juices or is it Strictly that is doing the mixing?

Barring that little concern, and the fact that my new Redbull doesn't have the bite to it that it had before, I like their prices. I like their cheap keychains and carts. I like all of the flavors I have to some degree. I don't like the fact that they sold me malfunctioning batteries, but I've since gone to mods so I don't care (I could easily get a refund or replacement if I wanted). I don't like the fact that they were in over their heads during the holidays. I don't like the fact they aren't selling SLB atties anymore. Though, I love the fact that I have 100 bucks worth of juice and its gonna last me a very long time.

Hello All! First post on the forum.

I’ve been vaping for about a month and I’m using a Protégé from Pure Smoker. There seems to be a lot of opinions about StrictlyEJ, so I’ll throw in my two cents. I found them online and saw how cheap they were so I placed an order for 5 – 30mL bottles. I ordered from them on a Friday and received my order on Monday, but I paid extra for the faster delivery. I can only compare StrictlyEJ’s liquid to the ones I got from Pure Smoker since I’ve used nothing else. I ordered all low nicotine level liquids which the company states are 12 mg. The ones I tried from Pure were 11 mg and 16 mg. Based on a comparison between the two companies the taste and consistency is like Strictly is taking 24 mg liquid and diluting it by 100% to get the 12 mg liquid. It lacks flavor and is watery. I wonder if the people who are satisfied by Strictly are buying 24 mg strength.

None of them have a nasty chemical taste as some people have stated but I’ve only had them a couple of days. One of the Pure samples (Riskee Juice) did go bad so I know what you are talking about with the horrible taste.

All in all, they are cheap and I have enough liquid to last for a couple of months. It will keep me off the analogs so that’s good, but I’ll probably keep looking and reading the forum for other companies to try.

I believe the latter could be possible, but it's unlikely. I'm pretty sure SEJ is just a middleman between vapers and Dekang. Considering the high volume of juice produced by Dekang, and the fact that it's made in China, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the quality control sucks and the juice is inconsistent.

I have ordered twice fron SEJ, flavor was OK but as everyone has stated, it is subjective. I describe it as "washed out", but not foul. Now the juice from TV, its slaps you in the mouth and makes you want to call your momma because you just went cross eyed.

I've ordered from SEJ twice, and it's gonna be my last time. My last order took nearly two weeks to arrive, and the Hookah Watermelon tastes terrible, some aftertaste like licking a bar of soap or getting perfume in your mouth. It seems to aggravate my atomizers also. Even when they taste decent, the vapor production on my 510 is feeble at best. I thought my atomizer was dying, but as soon as I changed to DIY's juice, no problem, puffing away like mad. I think waiting for as long as you do to receive your order, nevermind what you save on shipping and low prices, when you get a subpar product it isn't even worth bothering with. I've got about 8 bottles of juice I don't even want to use.
I'm sticking with Cignot from now on, ordered from them on Wednesday and received it this morning, two days and their juice is the bomb, and their prices are just as good. I can live with paying five bucks for shipping to actually enjoy my vape.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but wanted to add, I am not in any way affiliated with anyone, just a customer. Also, all my flavors from them were 24 mg, and none of them gave me the feeling that I was getting my "fix". As soon as I switched to another juice, same strength, and aaah. Huge difference! Also, my first order was good, no problems, not the most impressive I've had, but o.k. Don't get it?? But yes, I can't get the taste of that stuff out of my mind, it was nasty. My daughter said it smelled like a candle but it tastes like crap.

No problems from 3 orders from me. All we processed and shipped quickly, the L2 510 works fine with no issues (battery or otherwise), and all the juice tastes fine.

My next order of juice is probably going to be from American E-Juice because they seem to be much liked here, and they were very responsive to some questions and suggestions that I had from them (I saw they didn't offer 18 mg/mL juice and I asked them about it, and now they sell it).

But I don't have any qualms about ordering from Strictly E-Juice again in the future. If I have a bad experience from them that they are unwilling/unable to fix, surely I won't order from them again. But I've been happy with their customer service and products so far.

I've emailed them numerous times about bad L2 equipment. I got a couple of vague replies promising to send replacements, but nothing came. My most recent email, sent about four days ago, has gone unanswered. I wasn't rude or threatening, simply restated the problem and asked when I would receive my replacements. Nothing. I would love to give them another chance, since their juice prices and selection are so good, but not until/unless they rectify this quickly. I've been waiting a long time.

The only other suppliers I've ordered from are V4L and Madvapes, both of which have given me exemplary service.
