Attention Store Owners

While I understand the need to interact with a new customer. It is not required that you be a comedian or a smartass.

I just left a store with a 4.8 star rating, from 800+ people. I won't be going back.

A key point here. I knew the flavor hit I was looking for. Yet I was introduced (and subsequently rejected) the top 5 sellers in a store with 2000 advertised Flavors. Which actually seemed to shock the guy.

While some had a hint of the flavor I sought. None was what I was looking for. And the person helping me got frustrated. And basically told me to just keep trying Flavors. Good deal, I was more than happy to go through 30-40 bottles of indescribable BS with cool sounding names. But ZERO information regarding the actual flavor.

The point of this post. Customer service! I understand a newb has no clue what they want. And you've sold your friends on juices that really can't be described by a real name. But a seasoned vaper like myself. Will take our money elsewhere, if you don't know the difference between strawberry and watermelon.

End of rant.

Oh lord, stop putting goofy names on stuff and just call it caramel coffee instead of Mr Jimmy's delight or whatever.

It's been a bit since I stopped in a shop to sample. Are they still using CE4s to sample with? That's one problem. I realize it could get really pricey to use other tanks, but those have little flavor with them. Ugh... Got me off smokes, though.

Some shops are starting to use sub tanks which makes sense but depending on how many juices you have it would get tedious for a shop. I have a shop like this in town that I visited and all I can say is it was weird, no premiums just a menu with a thousand different flavors that make no sense, at that point you might as well just start diy ing, the reason people don't DIY is the easy factor. They can just go buy a premium they know is good, not be overloaded with choices and leave with some weird tasting shit they just slapped together in the back.

I've been doing DIY for awhile now. But I sample juices sometimes. In this case, I'm on the road again and accidentally dumped 2 bottles. I ran the math and realized I would be running out before I got home. So to the store I went.

My next trip takes me from home for a month. You can bet I will have at least a liter, if not more with me.

I have to cross the CA/US border too. That day, I'll only have about 3 small bottles. I'm not taking any chances lol

Hard to taste anything while you're sucking your eyeballs out. I've been fortunate enough to have the use of a dripper lately.

Amen to sucking your eyeballs out with those little sticks, I gave up after about 3 flavors that I couldn't taste at all.

Its just like eating dessert ive been to conventions and vape stores everywhere and after trying a couple different flavors everything else started tasting perfumy and flavours running together, and its like wow a book with 500 flavors in it, by the time u get to the back u have already forgotten what u have looked at, ive bn in one shop that actually made a total of twenty different flavors and each had a profile and description of it very simple and not hard to chose, that was vintage vapors in chattanooga, tn, those guys have got it together they even offer tongue tonic that cleans ur pallet to taste more im 44 and i dont want to carry a note book around with me and sit and write down those flavors out of those books with #s just to try and figure out what i want.

if I go to a resuraunt with 50 dishes on the menu, I walk out....there is no way you can do justice to that many dishes,you're just making lots of mediocre crap.500 flavors gimme a break

My local vape shop does this also.

I don't buy much from there, not since I first started. Prices are too high, etc. But, I do get a lot of e-liquid to review for my site, and since there are some flavors that I don't really care for, every now and then I'll visit the local vape shop and offload some free juice to the employees who work there. Anyway...

There's ONE house brand flavor that I like, and I've tried them all. Yet every time I go in there, some new guy is adamant on trying to sell me a new flavor that they make. To their credit, they do put out new stuff every month and get rid of flavors that people aren't buying, so there's that. So many of them seem amazed at the stuff I bring in. It's as if they had no idea there were so many other options out there.

Exactly right.

I work 3 simple recipes. All 3 can be my ADV, depending on what day you meet me on.

I do play with the basic mix from time to time though. Just to see what happens. And I've learned over time what goes well with those 3 originals, and what doesn't.

I can't wrap my head around the stash many of the DIY have here. But to each his own. And they may discover a million dollar taste along the line. But I just want a good vape
