I have posted it within another thread, but there are so many replies and other stuff people react to, it becomes difficult to get a clear picture on Strictly e-juice reviews.

Here is mine:

I ordered a few weeks back from them 2 bottles of Kona Coffee 18 MG, as I had read from different people that is is very nice. I must say: it is really great, so good that that after two weeks I ordered another four!! bottles. An what did I get:
4 bottles of juice that totally do not resemble or come close of to what I had ordered before. the taste is sour, when vaping you get sick in the stomach, is is really the worst I have tasted ever and I have tried many liquids!. What I think is that it is a wrong batch, but it should be checked before sending it to the customer. What also strikes me is that now I received different bottles, the old style, not child proof. So whatever the price, I don't care, I had to wait two weeks to get it deliverer, paid $ 30 dollars for something really disgusting. I have send a mail and I do hope that they will take care of it, I will report back when I will receive an answer, I am sure it will be solved, but let's wait and see

I just got my order from strictly e juice a few days ago. It arrived the same day as my order of rath juice. Bought twenty bucks worth of samples. They all share a few things in common. None were even close to as good as the rath juice. They all have a funky smell to them and taste like they smell. I was truly hoping to compare flavors and find a few fav's. But after trying 5 flavors and cleaning that yuck out of my attys 5 times. I just smelled the others to confirm the nasty funk they shared in common and put them away in the waisted money box. The rath juice waffle and bannana cream pie are crazy good and allready 1/2 gone. :) If it turns out to be a bad batch and they make it right by you please let me know as i won't be vaping that yuck so if the batch was bad i would like to trade it in. Thanks, Rob

I really believe that strictly uses loranns flavoring but does not add enough.

I spent 15.00 with them the other day and I am not very happy

IMHO I think they are selling the liquid so cheap because they chop it up ever further once arrived

I contacted them about my order since I was not happy. I have a few flavors that I bought and dekang tastes much better which is weird.

these seem to be a different shade of color also

maybe I got a few bad juices also

Just got my first e cig today. Bought the joye 510 starter kit from strictly e liquid. Also bought 30 ml of tobacco flavored e liquid.

The joye 510 works great for my first ever e cig but the e liquid tastes horrible. Hard to describe but almost like a playdoughy like taste.

Needless to say never buying their e liquid again, really made me sick to my stomach. Would go as far to say it is unvapeable.

Imho, this will always be a problem when suppliers introduces too many flavors and not be able to sell them in time. Its not surprising that these suppliers gets unflavored PG/VG liquid from China and then add in their own recipes for flavors. In order to be competitve, a wide range of flavors/ strengths is a must.

They then introduce dozens of flavors. What happens when they have several litres of a some flavors left on the shelf for more than 6 months? Although they mix their own flavors, there is still substantial cost involved with the materials and unflavored juice that they get. You can't expect anyone to just dump all that money just like that. The more ethical suppliers may have a huge sale to get rid of old stocks. Of course, they won't tell you its old stocks and may package the sale as a festive or anniversary related one. The less ethical suppliers may just mix those less popular flavors to the popular ones and hopes no one notices. I'm sure there are many more tricks that i'm not aware of.

Thats why i stick to my same old supplier that gives me consistent quality for more than a year. Although there are not much variety, but thats possibly why i never get old stocks with issues.

Again, just mho and analysis. No offence to anyone. :)

I received a reply from Strictly E-Juice. According to them the liquid is good, nothing wrong with it, actually they use the same batch themselves. They told me to send back the bottles and once received I will get a refund. I don't care so much for the refund, I want that Kona Coffee to be like my first order, that was super!!! Anyway I hope they will check the liquid, no need even to vape, the smell is really disgusting, if they are professional and honest they will admit it and change it. If that is the case, I will order from them again, we all make mistakes in our lfe, that is ok. I have send back the bottles with registered mail, paid $ 12 to be sure they will receive it. I will update this thread when I will have a reply and more info what the next steps will be.

I got a selection from them 2 weeks ago of 5 different flavors and they were all great. The kona series is simply the truest coffee flavor on the market.

To set the record straight on why their prices are so low. consider this. If you but direct from china the price per 30ml bottle of juice is $2.60. I have quotes from 5 china manufacturers and they are all the same.

This is simply what dealers pay across the board. So to say they are cheap because they do something underhanded is simply silly. Go ahead, go on alibaba and request a price list from the ecig manufacturers, you will be blown away by the profit margins your favorite supplier is making. For instance kr808 cartomizers cost just $3 per 5 pack yet some suppliers are charging upwards of $12. Batteries only cost $4.50 each, pcc chargers are $6.
Most ejuice is sold in 10ml bottle sizes and I remember when it was $12 for the 10ml bottles. The key to a good business is to beat the competition on all fronts, and price is the determining factor for the new consumer. They will eventually sample quality from more than one vendor, but in the long run price play a major part in their choice. So for a company like strictly to come in and crush the competition on price is no mystery, it is simply good strategy. Eventually all the other vendors will either compete or die.

Flue Cured and Lavaflow are both very good juices. I originally liked the ry4, but I've found on a hot atomizer the burnt flavors are just too much. I also find the ry4 to be a bit on the thin side it was only 12mg strength, I added some VG, but the burnt taste just isn't for me.

Flue and Lava were at 18mg and taste great. I would order those again.

Edit: The lavaflow bottle I recieved is not the standard DeKang, I love this bottle it has a longer dropper and makes dripping much easier in my 510.

I'm never ordering from StrictlyEjuice again. My package was said to be delivered via the tracking #, but I have nothing in my mailbox. No wonder they're not listed on the suppliers list.

They told me in an e-mail that there have been a "few" lost packages this month.... :|. No sir, I don't like it.

You had a tracking number but no package would seem to be a mail problem,not the sellers. Maybe I'm missing something.
