Few weeks ago, one of my boyfriend's customer was interested in the E-cig and ask us to help him get 2 sets for him and his wife. I purchased 2 Riva 510 kits and a few 5ml juice from FSUSA for them to try. I didn't have any preference of how long they smoke and how much they smoke. So today, boyfriend told me that person wanted me to get him 5 more bottles of e juice, marlboro , highest strength possible. I called him (the guy who wanted to get more juice) and ask him "5 bottles of same juice marlboro" and also explained to him that juice comes in bigger bottle like 30ml and so on. And the funny thing was I never gotten him marlboro flavor ejuice to sample. So I said do you want me just get you one bottle to try first, he goes no 5 bottles is fine. I said do you want me get you other flavors besides marlboro incase you dont' like it. He said dun need to.
When I first gave him the starter kit, I gave him a bunch of information, and website to where he can purchase juice, and this forum. My boyfriend said he is around 50 - 60 yrs old and maybe they dun use the computer that much. My boyfriend just told me just get him what he wants maybe they don't care about flavors, just want to vape and quit smoking.
That guy didn't give me a specific supplier to buy from, he just told me buy from the suppliers I buy my juice from, and get him big bottles. Now the question is, should I really buy him 5 bottles like he requested? I feel kinda weird buying 5 bottles of the same ejuice especially is something he never tried before. Also I'm afraid that, if the juice turn out bad (like he dun like them) he might give up vaping. If I get him few different flavors and he don't want them, then I will have to pay for it since he didn't request it. Do you think I should just get him 1 bottle and not care about what he requested? or just get him 5 same ones? :confused::confused:

I guess that be a good idea. I don't think he can finish the 30ml in a week, so if he did call me and said I want more where the rest? then I can order it for him. When I spoke to him on the phone, I ask him "you mind if we meet and you can try some of the juice I have and see how you like them". And he was like it's ok I just get those 5 bottles of Marlboro.

I don't think I've EVER heard of someone picking a juice out purely by name, and being lucky enough to hit the jackpot. On the plus side, if you order from FSUSA, the sampler will most likely be another tobacco flavor.

Just be sure he knows he's most likely NOT going to find something that tastes exactly like an analog.

I kinda thought he might think all marlboro will taste the same just like cigarettes. But it was very hard to explain to him over the phone, it felt like he wanted to finish talking and hang up. I remember I ask him, If you wanted me to get it from 5 different suppliers to try the taste first, and I told him the marlboro from different suppliers will taste different. He insist of getting from same supplier for all 5 bottles and not get different flavors. It just felt like he wanted to hang up quick. Maybe next time when the juice come, I should maybe print out the different flavors from the site, I dont' think he actually went to the sites I gave him to look.

Personally, I love to help people out when getting stared with vaping. But, once they are situated with hardware and some juice, then they're on their own.

If you are willing and comfortable buying this guy's supplies for him, and he is paying for everything, then I say just get him exactly what he is requesting. But, you may want to set some limits as to how long you are willing to continue purchasing supplies for him unless you want to do it permanently.
