Umm, Where is the 36mg juices?

[Mabbo]

Hey everyone.

It's been a while, Owning my own company is taking way more of my time then I expected.

Anyway, can someone from V4L chime in here and let us know when you will be getting in more 36mg juices and more color coolcarts?

I waited some time for the black cool carts to come in and just got 3 boxes of em, I needed dark blue and some other colors but you were out of those too, but now I need to restock my juices, and Waffle and Wowboy in 36mg are out and have been for some time.

Let me know.

thanks

Everything they are out of has been reordered and they are just waiting to receive it. Watch the Stock Update thread for when it comes in!

 

[Mark Marshall]

Gotta say - I'm a HUGE V4L supporter. I carry their cards with me everywhere, and hand 'em out to folks ALL the time.

But the stock update thread is closed, so you can't respond to anything.

My sole vape flavor now is V4L Wowboy. The 36, and even the next 2 down, have been out for EVER. I mean months.

Go look at the reviews on the product page:

WOW Vapor WOWBoy smokeless electronic cigarette juice

Some not very happy campers there.

Methinks V4L needs to address this - at least put something on the site or product page explaining what's going on.

Obviously, they're losing customers - and like the old adage says - for every one person who takes the time to write, there are 10 others who feel the same but won't take the time.

I've never heard that one before, is it office related, or author related, where does it come from? It might be office related because there are a few people here that should be writing but I can almost guarantee they are surfing the net, lazy sods, glad there is no surf control on V4L hey hey!

As someone who has worked in customer service, I think the old adage is: A person who is dissatisfied will go to greater lengths to complain, than a satisfied customer will go to praise.

I'll chime in...I share M. Marshall's sentiments. WOWboy, where is it? It's been 2 1/2 months for the upper strenghts. All the best sellers have been out nearly as long. I know Chinese New Year slows things during Feb., but I've never seen it like this. At the very least keep us in the know- Is there something else going on? I know Dave had to make a trip there recently. All of the great deals do us no good if there's no product to buy

 

[Jackson5]

On the contrary, that may be the saying, but V4L has had no shortage of praise for their product since I've been around. However, I think we'd all like to hear some real information concerning stock.

Hey Mabbo, what's up you nut? No doubt there has a been an odd roller coaster effect since Chinese New Years.

As for the Wowboy comments: "I once caught a fish and it was this big", and "Gee, that' never happened to me before". Wowboy in higher nic 36, 24, 18, has not been out of stock for months since I last ordered some on March 22. It has been out of stock for weeks though. Weeks, days, hours, I wish at the most it was only out of stock for minutes......like say 2 minutes ...and those 2 minutes would have to occur while I was placing my order for more Wowboy...that would be acceptable.

My response to authors of those 3 review posts on 4-4 and 4-5 are incompetent, incoherent, and incontinent.....simply put, they are part of the "in" crowd.

That beind said, good thing they have Wow555 and Wow Peppermint......ummm, wait a minute...well, good thing they have RY4 and Grape.

 

[Mark Marshall]

The title of this thread was "where are the 36mg juices"!

The last time I was able to order Wowboy 36 was in January... best I can tell, they ran out in early Feb.
The last time I could order 18 was the week of 3/15
The last time I could order 11 was about 2 weeks ago.
Now there's nothing but 0, 4 & 8.

And it's not just me... from the site:

Reviewer: Ken from Windsor locks, CT United States
Whats so magical about these ingredients to not ever have in stock? You have to travel to Iceland and get from the little midgets hiding in a rock? (no poem intended) geez u lost me with the 555, I buy from another vendor. I agree with previous post.. Get your act together!!! Why don't V4L have a notify me function?

never in stock April 4, 2011
Reviewer: murray nelson from arlington, TX United States
if i have to get a second choice of vapor juice....it won't be here....get your act together vapor4life...you need to have 36 available for purchase when i need it...not just when its convienent for you

The best March 6, 2011

This is by far my favorite flavor. Green tea being my second. Now as I do love the green tea I prefer wowboy. Please restock this flavor, its been to long.

Where has it gone???? February 25, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous person from San Diego, CA United States
Absolutely my favorite juice from any vendor....however it's basically been out of stock for over a month...is it ever coming back...almost out of my all time favorite!

Reviewer: Sean from northern MI United States

It comes from customer service, pre-web. When someone would take the time to write a letter, and it wasn't from a wack-job.

And I am one of those praisers, believe me! Wowboy is so good that, for me at least, every other flavor pales in comparison. I know folks who are really into Halo juices, but they just leave me cold. V4L kicks .....

 

[Jackson5]

Nice homework Mark! Those timeframes are accurate. I want to be clear; bashing V4L is not my intent. I buy from V4L exclusively, and have so for close to two years. It just seems like there may be a greater clarity that could be given to the reasons the 24/36 mg. levels are unavailable. Check again, RY4 is not available, and hasn't been.

Getting Juice in is slow going right now....that is no secret. For everybody, not just V4L. It matters not what strength it is.....it is just luck of the draw.

Hey Wader!

Thanks a bunch for chiming in. Hopefully, it's obvious that we're talking about this 'cause we love V4L stuff.

As for it being no secret... well, it kinda is, actually. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I'm not privy to what's going on in the industry as a whole... all I know is that I've seen Wowboy come and go in lesser strengths for an extended period now, but the 36 has just been awol.

Someone else suggested this, and I think it's a good idea: you should have a "let me know when it's in stock" feature on the site. I'd be willing to bet that not everyone who buys from you folks checks this board to find the status on product.

Thanks again for responding!

There was a body lotion/perfume duo I loved and used exclusively. One day the store ran out of it and didn't know when it would be in...if ever...and suggested I buy EVERY bottle I could find. From that, I took it to mean the company would no longer be producing it or shipping it to the US. New stock continued to trickle in from France but at an erratic schedule and I followed their advice and bought every bottle I could get my hands on. So, I always kept one perfume and one lotion in reserve and would rotate it into "usable inventory" *ONLY* when I had new products to replace the "save for emergency pair." That went on for a years until finally...nothing...poof! Gone!

Wait for it...there is a moral to this story...keep a bottle or two of your favorites in reserve for that "rainy day" when V4L is out of stock. I know it can be a financial hardship...look at me, I was stockpiling perfume, for pity's sake

I have recently discovered what all the comments over Wowboy were all about when I ordered a bottle a couple of weeks ago and it is like that perfume...unique! Fortunately for everyone, I am in the 11mg and under category so I am not really any competition to most of you. But, rest assured I will be ordering Wowboy in all the mg levels I like to vape. That is the most amazing flavor! I was a menthol smoker so it never even entered my mind that I might like (let alone *LOVE*) a non-menthol, tobacco-y flavor

So, V4L, we know you are trying your best and you ordered it in a timely fashion and the ball got bounced around in China and trampled on in the New Year's celebrations and we know you want us to be happy and contented vapers, enjoying your fine products. We know all these things so we really are patient...just a little anxious...maybe

Now I have to find a "hidey-hole" for wowboy, peppermint and nuport! So, shhhhh! Don't tell anyone where it is, 'kay?

Right? Every other flavor leaves me just plain flat now. Wowboy just plain rocks.

I do have to say that I find a minty thing to Wowboy, too. As a menthol-er, do you taste that?

 

[DanS]

yeah, i too am seriously bummed with the lack of wowboy 18 and up, i was lucky enough to get 2 bottles when they came in earlier this year, but of course they are gone.... the backup is the chocolate peppermint, but there is no substitute for wowboy...

ITS THE GREAT WOWBOY SHORTAGE OF 2011 !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Joyce]

If I may generalize, I've noticed that the more vocal Wowboy lovers tend to like the higher mg levels...am I off the mark here?

I was wondering the same thing....I've never tried Wowboy & wondered if I even should since I don't use the higher nic. Everyone seems to think it's great, but no one mentions loving it in the lower levels...

Thanks Wader for your comments, it's appreciated. When you say "luck of the draw", are you saying V4L has no control over whats manufactured? I would have thought this would be a P.O. ordered product. Meaning, here is what we need first, second, third, etc.
