Actually, nomorenails, I
am easy to please. I'm just hard to BS.
I expect to actually receive the product and the process in the way it is represented by the vendor....not just receive the hype without the actual experience.
Consumers know how to interpret value, and are able to make calculations in their head in the correct ratios, according to the $$ they are spending. They are way smarter than they are given credit for.
I learned about ejuice from ECF members who provided thoughtful feedback, and then from my own experiences, of which I had none when these topics were started. I HAD been out in the corporate world in a professional capacity and so I did know the difference between a product that has "we are in business" stamped on it, versus a kitchen-sink operation. Just as I've been to restaurants that opened and then closed quickly, because they learned that just because "sis" can make a mean apple pie and venison chili doesn't mean she should open a restaurant.
I think quality is not in one place, i.e. in the juice bottle, but is reflected in the
entire customer experience......from the moment they provide their credit card number up til the time they vape your product.
I'll be writing a review on the great experience I had with Copper Creek--- it was soup to nuts, everything from the terrific quality of mailing boxes (their own) very strong stuff that I could not crush by stomping on it (!!!), to the envelope style fold over flapped bubble mailers inside to fit their bottles, to the email notification process that informed me about everything that happened along the way so I wasn't scratching my head wondering where my juice was, to the actual juice itself (House Blend) and Cake, which were fabulous and made to my 100% VG specification, to the thoughtful samples that were included. This is what puts a vendor in the top 5.
