I dislike the profiteers also, but they would soon be out of business if the Classy rules are used as intended.........

Let's say the Limited Special Editions, all the BAMs, were listed for sale by reputable sellers for, say, 400 dollars. That would be a very respectable profit for those that were around to get on the BAM list and waited 6 or 8 months for it to finally arrive, having had their money tied up for that same period of time.......interest plus luck compensated for. I think people who really wanted a BAM would pay 400, but I think that would be about the most money that a BAM could be listed for, and reasonably expect it to sell.

Now if that's what most, or all, the BAMs were listed for, it would cut the feet out from under the profiteers. They could not reasonably expect to pay 400 for the BAM and turn a profit for their time and effort, because everyone would know that a BAM would shortly show up for sale in the Classys for 400.........

The BAM is the only true Zen Limited Special Edition that I can think of, except possibly for a few PVs that were made in 2011 as Zen was just getting started. All the rest of the Zens will eventually show up again. I'm not sure how that would fit with the EOTLs promised for later this year..........

But continuing on with the profiteers, if there was little or no profit in their scalping of Zens/BAMs, they would rapidly lose interest. There is a large enough supply of the rest of the Zens to not make them profitable enough for scalpers..........

Those manufacturers that put out a new "Limited Special Edition" every few weeks/months are helping profiteers. That would be the same as Zen putting out a "new" LSE every few weeks with the only difference being a different engraving on it. That would not truly be a SLE...........

Just a different slant on how to handle scalpers.........
Thank you so much dearme for saying what I also wanted to say!:thumb:
If I had posted any more, I was worried that not even a Fire Truck would have been able to quench the flames!!!:evil:
Oh, and I need to cut my fingernails too as it was very hard typing as much as I did...:blush:

I didn't like it at all. Tasted like chemicals to me. I abandoned my bottle on a table at vapebash. Meh.

In a genesis atty it tastes bad, in a carto it tasted bad but the flavor was slightly muted. They recommend a silica wick atty, I have a couple now, but no more custard. I doubt I would go out of my way to get more.

Expensive too. Almost 30 dollars shipped for 30 mls.

Hope you like it.

One of the things I have noticed (and maybe this is only me ....we all know I am a "little different") is that vanilla flavors seem to make a carto or a wick not taste so great in a shorter amount of time than other flavors. I love vanilla and its the flavor that first got me offa smokes......... but I do not like that it does not take much time to taste "off" and I have to clean everything up and start over.

I don't have any idea about the taste of chemicals, .... (extra t added on purpose) :blink:
I don't even like custard so obviously I wouldn't want to vape it either. :nah:
Then again, the texture of custard is a very big factor for my dislike of it too.:facepalm:
So maybe vaping it wouldn't be a bad idea after all? :unsure:
.... again, sans the taste of chemicals of course...8-o

Lily only being a "little different" is not only what makes you unique, :thumb:
but also the LilyBear that we all know and luv.:wub:
It's only when you become as "different" like I am, :blush:
That you seriously ought to be concerned!!!:danger:
If not, trust me it only gets far worse and you don't even want to go there!!! 8-o
I think it's called, "Going past the point of no return, refunds or even exchanges"? :blink:
Except it's been so long now, that I can't exactly recall or even remember anymore...:unsure:
Oh and the white jacket with the sleeves that are way too long with all of the straps everywhere is not only a fashion faux pas, :rolleyes:
but not very comfortable to wear either and makes it exceeding hard to vape too!!! :mad:

Muh Queen is right on point about you! (God save the Queen) .
You know already that, I think your no less than awesome.
Oh and the Vanilla , I love it as well but only certain makes. Being the Juice snob I am, I only enjoy flavors if they arent the fake candy taste, such as some fruits on the market.
I also have found that Vanilla can be a pita if it is true Vanilla. It darkens easily and changes flavor quickly if not careful. I also cant let it set around in a genny too long as it changes flavor just sitting and clogs muh meshticles.
