So I am better to just ignore the 50.00 i "won" and keep on going on?
Don't know what to tell you. If you get something for free, go for it, but I certainly wouldn't send them any money again.

They are major product promoters at local meets always giving something away in draws to bring in crowds. Why he's still in business getting away with charging exorbitant prices for mediocre juices is beyond me. Likely unsuspecting noobs coming through the doors of their B&M why they can stiff them $10 for a 10ml bottle of juice.

Isn't their "b&m" just there for pickups?
People walk in off the street. You can pick up too.

When I looked into them they were just too expensive for what they offer.
Exactly. Anything they've got you can get a FAR better deal elsewhere.

Especially with a company like jugheads being one province away. Shipping from them only takes a few days.
Juggies is tops !!!

To be honest. I am relatively new to vaping (as seen on my banner) but I haven't had any problem ordering from Juggie and honestly after tasting Canvape and Juggie only I am more then happy to just stick with Jugheads.

He has made me very happy and provided me with more juice then I can vape already. I made lots of small orders in a short time, and now that I know what I like I would likely use it for extra heads and accessories, not juice (not sure if I can on my "win") but regardless I have more then enough parts to go around also.

50.00 is not nothing to me, but it is insignificant enough, that I'm not feeling compelled or pulled right now. I can honestly take it or leave it. Seems like their biggest draw is the B&M stuff at this time.

I was there today...i arived at 3:46pm and they closed at 3:30pm, damn dont be late!....who closes at 3:30 in the afternoon? I need some batteries and maybe a new mod, if he has anything worth buying i will post later
Except for eVics, it's all mickey-mouse, as they cater mostly to noobs off the street, same as the back-door under-the-table mini-army of commission/reseller-based juice peddlers they got running around in the streets. The crack dealer remark above generated a chuckle.

Batteries ... nothing serious ... no AW IMRs or anything like that. Mods ... if you like bottom-fed clearos.

He probably does an alright business selling to the "noobs off the street". Some people just dont care what they vape on as long as it keeps them off the stinkies. Hell my very first order ever was through him second was from CEV. since then I've turned into a modwhore but thats a different story.

Lets face it not all want to walk around the city with a d**do sticking out of our mouths. 90% of the vapers out there dont give a rats a** what a mod or a AW IMR is. .... it took me 2 months to find the right coil for my spheroid + ego combo(walk around setup) is.

Look I'm not really trying to defend the guy I quite like him and find him pleasant to deal with. I find him anything but "mickey-mouse". When my ego bat dies I run to him when I need IMRS I go south when I need a mod I go to the wall.

Ok enough, if your local and need something real fast as in I don't want to wait three days for shipping fast, and it ain't fancy JJ should be able to tie you over. Oh ya I love his blackberry juice.

I met JJ at Vancity Vapor today, had a good chat, seems like a nice guy. I did buy the eVic it was his last one until a shipment comes on the 21st of March. First night with the eVic and Im loving the consistant throat hits. The thing I found out, only playing with it for a little while was that the vape was way more tasty and thick with a LR atty 1.8 ohms works just spectacular for me :vapor:

While I disagree with some of how you worded your post I do agree with some of the sentiment.

There is nothing "Mickey Mouse" if someone chooses a Blu or a Volt it's a step in the right direction. Human instinct is to want something to look like and tastes like something you already enjoy (or hate) and have a habit with. As much as everyone says they care about affordability, they pay for look first. Once they plop down that money and find that they actually enjoy vaping then they turn to the better options, and look more for function over form.

It's quick, easy and convenient to start.

Could you imagine if they only sold Provari's so they could be "High Class" and what they would have to mark it up to in order to maintain the B&M. The barrier to entry would be much to high for a noob to find.

There is nothing wrong with serving a niche, and they should find a balance between noobs and pro's, but when a noob walks in and a person is pushing Provari over Blu, the noob sees it as making as much off one sale as they can until they have some experience with it, instead of seeing the overall value of the Provari right off the bat.

Think of it like a gate, they open it for a fee and once the customer walks through a whole new world is open to them and it's up to the person to decide how far they want to explore it.

I've been in the garden too long so it seems like they aren't for me, but I always welcome new visitors.
