The look on his face was funny when he got stumped trying to describe The Virus. :)

Same face I get, honestly. *toot* It tastes kinda pea-nutty. *toot* No, more maple'ish. *toot* I think I detect chocolate? *toot* WTH? *toot* Confused. *toot* Delighted

I'm glad he liked all the juices. I think between the 2 videos he put 3 NT juices in his top 10, and all 9 of them received 2 thumbs up. I felt a little weird giving so much personal info on a Google doc so I didn't bother entering the contest. Good luck to forum members!

You're not the first person to raise concerns about the data requested in the Google doc. Z does it because he's had issues with duplicate entries in past contests. I understand why... I've left the administration up to him.

Honestly, I am really, really surprised at the reviews. I gather from chatting with the guy that his wife's consensus is that "across the board it's the best value in eliquid at our price-point." IE, you get what you pay for, and then some. That's high praise. I think it's a nod that there's probably better liquid out there, but you're going to pay through the nose for it. (80c/ml+). I don't know about you, but it would be hard for me to take a liquid that expensive and make it an ADV - I got into this game to SAVE money (despite the fact that I continue to blow coin on everything vaping related, I do still save a little).

Cornering 3 out of Z's top 10 is pretty unheard of though... I think his picks were CLS, H1N1, and... Frenilla?

I have found that, in my personal experience, saving money by vaping had just become a pretense, so now I accept it for what it is -- an escape from smoking and an interesting hobby for a few dollars more than what I spent on the stinkies.

I think if he didn't compare BG with Gravity or CB with CLS, we may have seen even better reviews. Keep in mind that he reviewed BG and CB after Gravity and CLS so the bar had already been set in his mind.

I can't disagree that NT is arguably the best valued ejuice, but I'm reluctant to refer to it as that because I feel that doesn't do justice to how good the juices really are. Just to compare on quality, I ordered some juice from a more expensive company this week. It was 20% off and free shipping, total $22. That's about the same as 30ml of Virus after shipping. When it arrives, if it doesn't have a very noticeable difference in quality from NT juice, this will only further strengthen my position that NT juices should be considered among the best, period. My assumption is that the extra dollars from these "higher end" juices go towards overhead, marketing, and salaries. I am completely fine with all of that, but I would hope people don't consider NT as anything other than a high end juice simply because you keep prices reasonable. Keep up the great work, Clark!

Btw, do you still prefer us not to vote for NT on pbusardo's juice review queue?

Great review!!
I completely agree with the review of Frenilla especially. I never really has a desire for a vanilla vape. I actually bought it to add to some of my other juices to sweeten them up a bit. I couldn't believe how good it was. I could vape this all day, everyday all by itself!!! I just wish it was available all the time. I understand that something this special takes time to create and just can't be thrown together like most juices from other vendors. It is definitely worth the wait. I just have to order LOTS of it when it is available. I think I would freak out if I ever ran out of this!

Reviewing all the flavors and ultimately determining that the line-up is front to back rock-stars is a nightmare for a reviewer - he runs the risk of appearing to be a yes man, a shill, or a hired gun. What if he legitimately enjoys them all though? :) If you're the slightest bit curious what he intends to re-order... The Virus, after Frenilla comes back up. ;)

I'm more than happy with the little niche we've carved out as a "mid-tier" vendor who delivers good value and excellent service. I'm honored every time someone places confidence in us with an order, refers us to a friend or loved one, or simply says "Hey, check them out" around the web. I'm proud to say that the majority of our "marketing" has been totally organic - referrals. That kind of "grass-roots" effort doesn't come without loyal customers - any success we have is almost wholly attributed to the kind words of others.

In regards to Mr. Busardo's review queue - I actually think we could take the deluge of business that would inevitably ensue - but I want to be sure we have the production team cross-trained before we tackle that mountain. The key part is ensuring that we don't come up short on the service element, and that we are adequately prepared for the surge in business. Not yet, but soon...

I wish I could keep it up all the time but it absolutely murders the in-house vanilla bean steep. As a %, it just guzzles extract. Also, part of what makes is special is the length of time it is allowed to mature... so, it takes time. You're totally right though, when it does appear, we see a huge surge of 200ml+orders because people have come to expect it's going to take 6-8 weeks for the next batch to spontaneously appear.

That said, this batch is steeping nicely - I'm tinkering with a bottle. When it feels right, we'll toss it out. The 14th is a tentative date... but I wouldn't consider it "ready to vape" until May!

Liters generally go for $400USD - hehe - if you want one, I'll order the flavoring and make it happen. I wouldn't do MAXVG without the boost though.

Flashes come and go - I'll post in the supply thread and drop it on FB when/if it happens!
