LMAO...glad you had a great time, but you'll have to share a few more details once you recover...
Okay, okay...more info, huh? It was wonderful to meet Lisa...and now that we know your car is okay, Kris, you have to join us 
EVERYONE has to join us
We had lunch and talked and talked and talked She is a very special person and a great addition to this forum I am very happy to have met her in person
Then we drove to V4L...oh, my goodness, gosh, oh me (or some similar superlative)...it was everything you could imagine Okay, the facilities are wonderful and the flavors are "to die 4" (pardon my almost-pun) but the PEOPLE who work there...
We were treated like honored guests and not just customers Seriously, they shared their product and themselves...what they like, what they want to see, what's going on...just like Lisa and I did at lunch They must list "friendly personality required" as their number 1 requirement to be hired I cannot tell you enough times with sufficient eloquence how genuinely NICE these people are...from Smilin' on Lisa has photos but photos don't let you know the character of the people involved
And, they spoke highly of this group Seriously, your ears should have been burning They gave you guys a large measure of credit for their success...not just what you buy but how you recommend them to others and take an interest in their business
Okay, enough...I'll let Lisa give you her take
Thank you, V4L, for a delightful afternoon Lisa and I will be bringing sleeping bags next time Seriously, we won't take up too much space...you'll hardly know we're there

Ms. Katz it's like an early xmas without having to watch for Santa with knife in hand to make sure he doesn't try anything while you're faking sleeping. Oh joyous day of days.
Kris, I am so glad to hear your good news; job & car? I'm starting to think Wader's birthday is a better celebration than Christmas.
Kanza, I am soooo envious ! Meeting another V4Ler and going to the store, and meeting everyone!
Latin dancing class last night, teacher twinkle-toes wasn't there, we had another teacher and she was great ! I learned all sorts of little things. But gosh my feet & ankles hurt now. Dance shoes are supposed to slip not grip, can't wait to get some.
Yesterday I had one of those accidental flavour mix ups - I refilled a carto used for Wowboy/Wowboy Peppermint blend with my Super Nuport juice. Wowport? I started to go inside to get a new carto but I couldn't put this down. I'm not saying I'd deliberately repeat the accident, but it wasn't bad. Well, I probably will repeat it, out of interest. I certainly don't need to get hooked on a blend of two of the most popular & drought-prone flavours
Kanza that sounds wonderful!! I am jealous.I wish we could all have a get together sometime.
Kanza... It was awesome to meet you and Lisa today. We don't get forum folks that often, so it was nice to see some peeps from these parts
Iowa Gal... got your PM, I am looking into it as we speak. As far as I know everything is fine, we were doing some upgrades on the site so something may have gone a little haywire.

Ok guys, about the trip Kanza and I took to the V4L headquarters....... she has filled you in on a lot but OMG it was fun. I just don't have a .gif animation that adequately expresses it! (kittypie I'll get back to you on that!)
It was so nice to chat over lunch with someone who "gets" vaping - something I don't get to do very often. It was great to get to know Kanza a little better and I have to tell you that she is even more of a delight in person than she is here online. Thanks for meeting up with me, Kanza!
I felt like I was going to Disneyland when I pulled into the parking lot. Inside we were welcomed by Christie, who showed us around the front area, including the smokeless lounge. The lounge was rearranged from its usual layout because a professional photographer was in to do photos, but it's a cozy room with comfy furniture and displays of vaping wares, along with some art work on the walls that was painted by one of the staff. I'll attach photos of that. I really like the newer green-colored theme that you see in the lounge, on the products and on the web site. It ties everything together nicely.
Then Dohsma and Chadley appeared and graciously showed us around and gave us a tour of the operation. You've probably seen the pictures of the operation that V4L staff posted. The photos just don't do it justice. It is BIG - much bigger than I had imagined, with row after row of well-organized stock. It smells wonderful when you walk into this area; not overwhelming, just yummy! Chad was very generous with his time in helping us shop, and it was great to talk with Dohsma about various vaping issues. We were able to sample some of the juices, which was wonderful. Wader poked his head in to say "hi". Finally, the icing on the cake, we got to meet Smilin'. We were complete fan girls! (photo coming up). I can see why people seem to like working there! ....and Kanza is right: These are just good people.
When we were done touring and shopping, we settled into a very comfy leather sofa in the lounge to vape some more and chat about it all. By the way, next door to the lounge is a very large, nice kitchen and lounge/eating area for the employees.... need I say more. I'm with Kanza - I could move in there! It was hard to leave.
By the way, I had held off on purchasing USA juices until this trip........vaping Jammin right now. Shouldn't have waited.
I'll post photos in a bit after I've resized them.

Ms. Kanza and Ms. Lisa knew you would have an excellent time. The greatest part about the V4L staff is they are the same people in person as they are on here. Great pics Ms. Lisa.
What, no You-tube video?
Grape crush? Very interesting!
Me jealous? Um, yeah.

Awesome...so glad you ladies had a great time. Just wait...when I win powerball it will be a V4L family cruise Wouldn't that just be a blast...can't even imagine.
Mark..thanks for checking into the issues. I'm not any good with technical detail...but do get nervous when a message about secured vs unsecured info pops up and my cc is involved.

Well folks, off for bed. Tomorrow have nothing planned but doing some packing, playing some games, drinking, writing a new blog, and posting up some new info from yet another test..... Have a good night everyone.
Kanza and Lisa.....it was great meeting both of you. Wish I had a chance to chat longer, stop back anytime!

Nite everyone ,early morning and i'll try to get on tommorrow nite !

Kris, I am so glad to hear your good news; job & car? I'm starting to think Wader's birthday is a better celebration than Christmas.
Kanza, I am soooo envious ! Meeting another V4Ler and going to the store, and meeting everyone!I wanna play too.

if you come to america ,we'd all have to share ya and you'd see it all cause we live everywhere
I once put some 11 mg smilin in with some wowboy i had way back when at 24mg and man it was good ,i ended up using them both drop for drop in cartos .
That's it, Morandir!! They are exactly the same as they are here...outgoing, gracious, and so much fun to be around Here's the example of why I am sold on V4L - we enter and Christie greets us, gives us a V4L pen and some leaflets and NOT content with that, tracks us down with even MORE colors of pens to ensure we get the pen we would prefer
Chad spent a long time with us, giving us joint and individual attention, filling carts with flavors we wanted to try and this is after the "grand tour!" People went about their normal routines (read "working to fill your orders") but everyone took time out to say their hellos and welcome us He asked about what we normally vaped and made dead-on suggestions for things to try Their new USA juices are incredible...and quite different from their other flavors I wish I could describe it but it's so subtle...some under-taste that lingers I get more of an analog feel from them
But, the proof that we, their customers, are important to them...is in one of the pictures that Lisa posted The one of us with Smilin' was taken by a professional photographer of high renown that was there to photograph their new offices From past experience, walking into a business with a special project like that taking place meant "go away, we're busy." Not so...they apologized for the upheaval, and made us feel like we were their only "business of the day" Oh, and the photographer was found vaping in Smilin's office
Like Lisa described it...it was like Disneyland
