I would grab up a 3-4 month supply of Doodle just to be safe (not sure now much that is for you). I am sure we will have it back on the site as a permanent flavor by January or so?

I would have already done that if I could afford it! Can't do the 500 ml either. I'll be OK. Good luck nicoticket peeps!

Heya Medic - thank you for the candid feedback. We will still be infusing every bottle with Clark's sweat, you need not worry about that. I can't really disclose details, but we're going to be more consistent about the inconsistency - trust me, the magic is no less present even if a machine bottles the liquid :) We're delegating the monotonous part of the business to machines, but there is still a significant human element involved in every step of the process. At the end of the day, R&D is done by hand and 10ml at a time - that's the important part (to me, at least).

Great post, regardless!!



And I respect what your doing while heartedly. If i was in your shoes I would be doing the exact same thing. :) don't worry I did this with a few of my guitars when the companies decided to move away from hand making customs, to using machined templates for the base and finessing the other details. I still have that guitar and have bought several more ;) but I'm just not as shall say "hip to change" as some people are. I don't like fixing it if it's not broke, but then again I don't see day to day operations, so I can't say that it is or isn't broke from a business standpoint(like it needs revamped to create more time for x,y, and z). I'll still be here buying The Virus and frenilla, and got cookie. :) I stocked up on the prior two a few weeks ago through a friend and now have almost 600ml of both, so I'll be set for a bit. :)

Not sure it's broken, if we intended to maintain the status quo we could continue to do what we do indefinitely... but, the current system would make it extremely hard to grow.

That wasn't necessarily the best analogy I'm sure. I just didn't have anything else in the arsenal lol. And no I completely agree. To be honest, a friend bought a custom from the same company after they went to machine templates, and I couldn't even tell it was a template, as they used t for a basic outlay to get the shape quicker, and cut into where and how you had it designed. So I'm sure this will be the exact same way, I just rebel against it until I see it, then I'm fine lol.

I doubt you'll even be able to tell the diff - matter of fact, I'm making sure of it ;) All the ingredients are the same, only thing changing is the batch size the the bottling process, really.

That's what I'm hoping! And I have no doubt you will do everything in your power to make it still feel like a small company that produces big things. :)

Wow - I saw this thread there for a while and didn't dive into it. Big deal...

Congrats to the NTeam on this - it seems like a smart move and a good shot at preserving what we all love in the face of potentially crippling regs. I am completely confident that quality will not slip.

I know it's unavoidable to make a short list - especially if regs will require that every recipe be approved. And I totally get that it's going to be based on demand. But that said it makes me so incredibly sad to see AA not making the cut. It's not in my dripper blowing my mind like strawnilla and the cheese. It's in my aerotank and with me wherever I go. And it's even getting heavily abused when I'm at home and have the option to drip. It's as close to an ADV as this juice ..... has ever come. I hope it makes a future cut. I will really miss it. Now off to order a ridiculously large bottle of it...

As always thanks NTeam. We all love ya.

I would be tickled to drive a purple Prius with Nicotecket blazoned all over it. yep! The NT lady is on her appointed rounds. Neither rain, sleet, snow, dark of night or FDA BS will stay her from her appointed rounds!

Actually, I am in the market for a wee car with good gas mileage and front/all wheel drive. The beast is not a snow car.

You're not the only one - I love it too... I think I need to revamp the positioning/description of it though! I have trouble describing it! How do you say "Just buy it, you'll dig it."

Who knew when I noticed and asked about ((Name omitted due to ECF rules)) last week, what I was getting into, eh? Sorry to push the announcement sooner than you had planned.

If your radio fans helped come up with a description that you could then "tweak" it may help!
