I'm kind of intrigued by VapeRev but none of their 'artisan' juice brands have a website - it's impossible to know anything about quality or ingredients, or get a feel for the vendors, or even to select vg/pg mix. For me, that disqualifies them as 'artisan' or having a rationale for charging so much, even though the bottles are cool and there are some interesting flavors. Could be remixed Dekang for all I know. That's just me, maybe.
Not just you. I've wasted so much money at this place because I forget to stock up on nicquid or cartos, and of course the impulse buys are easier at a B&M store. I'll admit, I mostly go their to test juices and attempt to clone them, oh and those awesome sodas they carry too!
Their in house flavors lost quality over the months. I have 3 bottle of Monkey Cream, the one purchased in 5/22/12 is better than 7/18/12 and my latest bottle. You can definitely taste the changes. Nebula is probably one of their best juices. I bought this the first week (2x15), 3rd week (2x40ml for $48+tax), and again 40ml a few months later. It was always "born" within 48 hours, colors DEFINATELY changed, and once again, the original bottles were definitely the best. I am also accounting for steep time. I DIY and have learned how flavors change or are just different versions altogether.
Midas flavor really tick me off with their prices. My friends swear by them, but they've never mixed or bought juice online either. Menthol and EM is a cheap flavor base and other flavor notes are always weak. I want to say that Midas flavor are more or less set in stone, so kudos for that.
I also want to defend them a little. The majority of new ecig owners are probably just happy to get something that gets them to quit smoking, they don't know about flavor/vg/pg percentages. VapeRev probably serves a larger volume of customers than most online stores and since they have a store front (with a very key location) they'd probably waste a lot of time/money entertaining custom orders. There are a lot more new clueless vapers out there now than in 5/2012 when they opened.Their CS kinda sucks, but they're also VERY busy at any time of the day. I waited 20 minutes to buy some juice last week, but some of the employees came back from lunch break (? 2pm) with a bunch of free burgers. They're probably $1 burgers from jims or something, but still cool and much appreciated for the wait. Now why was I waiting? They take time to teach customers how to properly set everything up, answer any and all questions and... sell of course

SoCal vapers are bombarding VapeRev lol.
Im gonna assume they make juices to their standards at first, then as customers comment and complain they make changes.
