So I ordered from Don after hearing so many awesome reviews and I love his juice but he's on vacation. I'm already out of juice.

I'm a huge fan of his applewood tobacco. Does anyone know of another vendor that might be able to sell me something close to that and have it here this week?

Don't worry BWB, I will be back to buy more from you, just need something to hold me over.

Since this is in General, I guess I am allowed to post here, Jbanks you knew BWB was going on vacation, because it was posted way in advance. So if you didn't order something you were low on I guess you will have to wait until the vacation is over..Heres another place you may find some applewood...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/bwb-crew/157396-bwb-swap-meet.html

This happened to me last time he went on vacation.. With the high demand BWB has, you would think there would be more than one employee at this point. It has to be A LOT of work for just Don alone.

Here's my take on that and I'm new to BWB so I guess I have no real room to comment......however...

I think it's pretty cool that there's only one dude doing it and that he sometimes runs out of stock and that he takes vacations and that he's a real person instead of some faceless corporate entity. So while, I'm short termed irked by not being able to get some juice, I'm longterm happy that there is one guy out there making awesome juice who is more interested in quality than quanitity and providing a product that is a work of art instead of trying to get super rich.

So yes, the vacation sucks, but it's temporary. I will order the day he returns.

There really isn't too much like applewood... but I will give you some suggestions...

try:
Applejaxx from digitalcigzz...
Apollo's apple from vapesafe.

try anything from nHaler's octane line.
Been telling Don for months that their RY NOT is the closest thing to his awesome RY4...

Don is a fan of Alien Visions... as am I...

and... I gotta say as a big BWB fan... that the closest thing to Don's juice is the juice from want2vape... the vapestein blends excluded... those are entirely unique...

mmm what else?
I like love from above from prime vaping...
vapors etc reminds me a little of BWB in terms of flavor and intensity of flavor...

seems like a lot of BWB fans like Vaperite...
lastly...
Copper creek is a new one on the horizion that is quality.

Lets not forget that Don lives in NY state... where they Tax him more than they Tax in Sweden ;-)

...and to affirm what New Orleans said...
That's what I find so cool about Don... he truly does care... His flavorings come from so many different vendors... and he makes quite a few... if he was just a one trick pony that used one or two flavoring companies, he'd never run out of stock... but then he wouldn't have so many special juices.

I know one of the things that hurts/bothers him the most are the ignorant assumptions that he creates demand on purpose by limiting stock... 'cause that ain't true ;) his ry4 flavorings among a few others are truly difficult for him to get...

Before he was so popular, you could always get the flavor you wanted... but now... geezzzzz...

You know...I'm also thinking ok if he did hire someone else to mix the stuff with him and so on...that the person could then set up shop and steal the recipes...knockoff bwb juices might be created etc. If I were him and put all that time and money into development, I might guard those secrets myself.

I wasn't trying to make "ignorant assumptions" about him creating a "demand" for his product. If he reads my comment and takes it that way, I apologize to him. BWB is definitely my favorite e-juice out of the 20+ vendors I've tried over the past two years of vaping. And I appreciate everything he does, and also the fact that he most likely wants to keep his recipes a secret. I was just stating that I think he has A LOT of work on his hands with his business, and that I do appreciate everything he does. Sorry if I didn't convey that in my message.

Also I've tried Vermillion Rivers Applewood, and Vapesafes Apollos Apple. And though they are very good e-juices, they are in no way BWB in terms of taste. They have their own unique flavor and characteristics to them.
