USA Flavors Discontinued...Yes or No?

[SnowDragon]

Can we have an official announcement on the USA Line of juices? If they are going to be discontinued the time to announce it is now while folks still have a few months to vape it before the expiration dates (Nov.) creeps up.

I don't really understand the mindset of holding back from announcing it. Once folks know it is going to be discontinued they can take the appropriate action, take advantage of some sales and stock up instead ordering 1 bottle at a time expecting some future restock.

Personally speaking I will vape juices up to 6 months past their expiration dates, but I maybe an exception.

If something else is going to happen as in the flavors will be continued but made in China, just tell us. We can handle the truth, ok well...most of us can handle the truth.

Agree that informed customers are happier customers, in almost all cases

I must admit to being worried about BlackJack Berry myself... And I would be saddened to not have a domestic option from V4L most of all, if that turned out to be true.

I worry about No.7, Peacemaker, and Bandit Berry. If I like Banana Breeze (on its way) I will worry about that too.

STAY WITH THE USA!

Pretty please?

 

[plantlvr]

Oh pleeeze not #7!!

 

[K9Luvr]

Oh no, I hadn't heard that rumour. I better stock up on Bandit Berry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EleanorR]

I completely agree with SnowDragon, now is the time for V4L to be transparent with its customers about the future/fate of the USA line.

It would be a huge shame to lose these juices, but if they're not selling well enough at a reasonable price point, well then . . . that's that.

Where do all these rumors come from?

 

[Lisa66]

I'll say it again: I will be devastated if this happens.

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Its not a rumor ,he brought it up because its common sense .Someone asks for example " when will this be restocked in x mg "? Answer : it won't .Well.......common sense tells us they are at least considering it .....

 

[SAG]

Oh, sorry, I guess I missed reading where someone said they were told a USA x mg won't be restocked. Thanks. Well, I do wish someone from V4L would speak up. Love V4L, but had a lot of trouble with some premium flavors taste (other than my beloved Smilin). I love Banana Breeze. Don't care for Bandit Berry. I have my 2 favorites, but wanted to try more USA flavors. Why, if they're gonna be discontinued?

V4L, what say you? Hello?

 

[Loveridden]

Curious to know too, love the peacemaker peppermint especially! I hope they won't be discontinued!!

 

[Loveridden]

Only 24 mg left on peacemaker and I was actually hoping to purchase some more in either 6 or 12 within the next few days...

You disappear from the threads for a few months and look what they do - get rid of some of your favoite juices!

Where do all these rumors come from?

That would be me Sag.

Rumor, speculation, call it what you will the USA Flavor line debuted 9 months ago. The idea of the USA line was 2-fold, to produce great US based juice and to ensure an uninterrupted restocking of inventory due to past delays caused by such things as Chinese New Years.

However, over the last several months it has become apparent that these mg strength levels specifically for Peacemaker Peppermint are not being restocked. The initial batches came in phases and were released in Oct. Nov. of 2011 and Jan. of 2012 and have a 1 year expiration date. V4L reached out to the forum in late March for flavor ideas for their upcoming trip to China in the first week of April.

For 3 months I have waited to hear what the fate of these juices would be as I have watched different mg level for Peacemaker Peppermint go out-of-stock. I brought this topic up over a month ago in the hope that some clarification or announcement would result from it. I noted then that if the flavors were discontinued, there might always be the chance that they might simply be made in China and not the U.S.

I always want what is best for V4L and the forum family. The first release of the USA flavors will be expiring in October and the prices have been discounted by over 50%. With the exception of Peacemaker Peppermint (currently only available in 24 mg) there is still juice available in all strengths. However, once the juices do expire the company will have no choice but to toss them. I believe that would be tragic for both V4L and their customers who love these juices.

All I am asking for is clarification....will the USA Flavors be continued, discontinued or will they be continued with a line name change and produced in China? If they are going to be continued...great. If not, announcing it now will allow folks to plan on stocking up on their favorite flavors/mg strengths and help V4L clear inventory off the shelves...a win-win if you will.

I have nightmares thinking about boxes of Java Mint being tossed into the garbage as I'm sure other would with their favorite flavors. If Smilin has taken a loss on this line after attempting to cater to the family I would like to see that loss minimized.

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

No not just one person ..i got the clue(s) from facebook .....no answer there either but i figure it will or wont be announced ...don't worry about things beyond my control anymore ,life too short .

 

[SAG]

Aaaah, thank you Snow. Java Mint is on my "wanna try" list along with Beach Bum and Blackjack. Agree with the minimal loss statement. Gawd, I never thought I'ld be a dumpster diver. Hmmmm, guess I'll just have to place an order anyway. Almost hope I don't like any of 'em if they're gonna be discontinued though.


Waylon, I took the FB clues to be for the clearance flavors.

 

[MystStick]

We discussed this once before on this forum and begged V4L not to discontinue the USA line. Other than Smilin, the USA line is all I ever vape! If I couldn't get my banana breeze, java mint, java junction, or bandit berry, I will have nothing to vape! I have been the most loyal of customers to V4L since I started with them. With the USA line, there was simply no reason for me to look elsewhere for heavenly vapes!

 

[HarmonyPB]

Thank you for keeping an eye out for things like this SnowDragon. I would have totally missed the signs if you hadn't pointed them out. I agree with you. I love Peacemaker 24mg and would hate to see it thrown out if it expired But I probably won't be purchasing any more of it in the near future. Because of your earlier comments I bought 5 bottles. I go through about 1 bottle of it every 2 months, so I'll be stocked up for quite some time!

I don't even pay attention to the expiration date (just a personal thing) so it won't bother me to vape these until they are empty no matter what the date is

 

[skittish]

If they do discontinue it (or have it made in China), I think that's a really bad move on their part. I, for one, have become less interested in Chinese made liquids and have pretty much gone USA only. I understand if it costs them a little more money than the Chinese made juices, but it's nice to have a USA made alternative on V4L. I hate to say it here, but there are tons of vendors out there that do just fine making all USA made juices.
Also, my husband is a Peacemaker fiend, and he's gonna be really upset if it's disco'd. He's already had to switch from 18 to 24mg. I guess I'll just have to buy him some extra bottles when I get my gc situation figured out on monday.

Col caramel is all that I vape though I do have many flavors from the USA line and love them all. I only use the USA flavors as well. I will be very sad to see them go if that is what is going to happen. I will have to find a flavor comparable to col caramel.
