Your mom said not to say...
I do understand the frustration that many of you are experiencing, trust me I went through the same process although not as long, so I completely get it. I certainly don't want to come off as blindly defending Carlos or anyone, I just can see both sides of the coin. Of course at this point it is is a business, but please just keep in mind that it's a NEW business that is going to experience growing pains and troubles. Carlos never claimed to be a Harvard Business Grad or anything, he is just a dude working out of his garage that hit upon a great product that has been selling like beyond his wildest dreams. He is experiencing a bit of a learning curve himself on this matter, lol!

I am positive that after this fiasco that future orders will be limited to prevent such a thing but until then just try to deal with it as adults. I am waiting on mine to be returned to me for the last couple of weeks and I have yet to make a single comment or ..... about it because I KNOW that it's worth the wait to get a perfect device.

I am not involved in the politics of the ECF rules but it has been said that ECF doesn't distinguish between a manufacturer and a supplier, I strongly urge you to check the definition of those words. A manufacturer MAKES the device be it a JuiceBox or a HDTV made by Sony. A supplier sells the device or HDTV such as Totally Wicked or Best Buy. Just because you choose not to recognize the difference in the meanings of the words doesn't make ECF right.

If it's a matter of contacting Carlos he can be found all the time at Nu-Vapor.com, in fact people can contact him there and ask him about their box and he will answer. He can't answer here because he refuses to play the politics and games that ECF wants to enforce. Argue the semantics all you want but the Webster's Dictionary still defines Manufacturers and Suppliers as two different animals, this is not debatable, it's fact.

I want everyone who has an interest in the JuiceBox to be able to get one and in a timely manner. What I find lame is grown people acting out like kids at Christmas. To those that have since calmed down such as Honesty and others, thanks for that, I am sure you can see that nobody is trying to screw anyone here. It won't be too much longer. Peace.

I made the purchase directly from Carlos, not through any intermediary - therefore, he was to be both manufacturer and supplier - in my case.

Understood Debbie, it could be seen either way. It's just a really frustrating time for all involved right now. I'm sorry that you were not able to get your box in a timely manner, since I know it is such a great device. Not looking to make any enemies on here, everyone wants the best which is understandable. Hang in there, it's coming for those that are still waiting that is.

And I am happily awaiting the birth of my juicebox. Yes, I did personalize mine.
And yes, I know of other forums and frequent them and enjoy the experiences of juicebox buyers and the reception of the juicebox. This IS NOT the only forum out there and people are receiving this mod, they are members of other forums. Look around the internet, you will see. The juicebox is not exclusive to the members of ECF, which is why we do not see all the "I just got my juicebox-reviews". Hang in there guys. I am.

In the land of no hills and red dirt
I logged on to the other forum (more on that in a minute), and it's not like carlos is all over there, either. There's a few posts, with a few spokespeople speaking on his behalf, just like over here on this forum. Same people, I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If carlos is answering pm's over there, wouldn't it be just as easy, or easier, for him to put up a thread and do an update every couple of days instead? There has to be a happy medium between devoting enough time to build the boxes and keeping some public communication open to his devotees /potential lynchers. :D C'mon, even the Pope steps onto the balcony and waives to the throngs every once in a while :nun::nun::nun:...it may squelch some of the discontent growing here. I can't think of a vaper in the world who doesn't want Carlos to succeed. BTW, in my state we have coalitions of 'small business incubators' who are trained to help small businesses grow and succeed and facilitate all sorts of access to resources. Maybe Carlos could check it out, so he could more quickly get to the drinking fancy drinks on a beach time that he so richly deserves. Or allow him to start making his special sauce attys for other mods and free us all from Chinese disposable atty tyranny.

Come to think of it, I don't know how imeo, drew, steve and the lot can spend all of their time on the boards and answering their customers questions and comments. Maybe they've got a bunch of galley slaves toiling away in the back making their actual units, I dunno.

As for the other site, my God, was it designed exclusively for the under 30 crowd? I thought I was going blind with the way the font and colors were set up. Makes me really appreciate the good ol' fashioned black text and white backgrounds here.

clyde i joined that site awhile back because of the JB subforum. you're right, no info there. there is actually more on this forum and why i came over here.

the vaping community is the only place i know of online where business practices are 90% hype and 10% product. It's really an insult to anyone over 40.

elendil, you're the first mod i've seen on here that is grounded in common sense and totally polite. refreshing.

snarky, i know you like carlos. if you read back on many of my posts, i've defended him multiple times also. The thing that gets me is the semantics being thrown around when anyone asks a legitimate question. like supplier versus wholesaler. Where else online would someone pay $90 with a promised deadline and then put up with dead air when the date is long past, and then be insulted for questioning when they might be getting their box?

no where i know of. the vaping supply chain reminds me of Y2k, the tech bubble, the housing bubble, the oil bubble. don't worry - be happy until the other shoe drops.

i'd just like to have a coherent conversation without the vaping hype if that's possible.

I do have a quick question though. i guess i'll start another thread. i almost hate to because no one seems to know about the atty replacements that i asked about.

lol i think that's why ppl get freaked. little INFO but are expected to shut up and wait.

Clyde2801 im glad you checked out that other "dead" forum because i really didnt want to be the first person to point out a few things.

1. The poster that mentioned that site was being disingenuous when he said we can get all of our answers taken care of over there. He for 1 should have never referred us to ECF's competitor but i follow that board daily...its not that hard since there is only about 10 posts on the entire sight per day.

2. Carlos seems to log on over there but he doesnt post anything. His last post was 12/15/2009 and that post just stated that he was hard at work on the JB's.

3. That whole crew has issues with ECF. Several of them have been banned here so i can understand why he is doing what he is doing but its still kind of crappy to promote another forum here at ECF.

4. Its my belief that a couple of these defenders are being paid to hype the JB. A certain particular poster that posts here and at that other "dead" forum hypes the heck out of the JB.

Listen man, I have had enough of your whining over this. Now you accuse myself and others of being paid shills? ...... You and the horse you rode in on! I have never been paid a single dime for any of my reviews or work on behalf of ANYONE involved in vaping, that was an insult directly at me.

If you are just going to cry about a delayed order maybe you would be better of getting an overpriced battery holder that can be spit out in a few minutes and save yourself the frustration of waiting.

I have talked with Carlos and if you will give your info, you will get a refund immediately. Please take advantage of this offer.

And Elendil, This will be my last post on the subject.

I have no doubt that is exactly why Juicy97 asked for my name and order# in a PM and that is exactly why I have ignored her.

Im sure everyone will be happy to know that You SNARKYONE have taken it upon yourself to attempt to have orders that people have PAID FOR , WEEKS AND MONTHS AGO, Cancelled.

Your defending of Carlos has bordered on insanity but what your doing now is just plain STUPID !!
