Drippa - Gourmet juice subscription box

piddy could I suggest a medium strength option of 12-18mg?
6mg and 24mg are no good for me.

Having met you piddy, I know you're passionate about good eliquid and wish you every success in the venture.


Taking it a step further maybe in the future, VG heavy selections would be great for those of us with a sensitivity to PG.

piddy great idea. I wish you success in your new venture. Do we get to sample some of these at the prestleigh vape meet?

To those of you questioning the PG/VG ratios and Nic % strengths:-
Remember that this is a start-up venture intended to offer the chance to sample something new. I don't imagine for one minute that piddy intends to supply a particular juice going forward, that's for the individual mixologists to do. I'm not great at maths, but the permutations of supplying 5 samples at several different ratios and then several different strengths would mean he needed a warehouse full of variations and it would be a non-starter.
Surely the beauty of this scheme is that you get to try something new, something you might never have considered otherwise. It might not be at your exact preferred ratio or strength but you will sure as hell know if you want to place a further order with the appropriate vendor.

I can only say good luck.

Hi Pauly - The good news for you is the most common in the low box will be around 12 and with the high around 18. I did a survey pre launch and the responses showed that these fitted the majorities tastes and what makers mix at.

I will be aiming to do 3 levels in the future - Low 0-8, med 12-18, and high 24+

Thanks Perp! 

The PG/VG ratios are chosen by the mixers to what they think is best. Most of what I have ordered is pretty high VG as that seems to be considered the best way to vape.

The head of the nail has been knocked

I've had to over-order quite a bit to make sure I can please.

At worse I will be well stocked for my personal use.

Thanks for joining Brend! I promise no baccy for you.

It's a pity - I have some gorgeous Bread of Heaven being carefully steeped by the druid!

In answer to your question about the 100 level. We've only been live for a few days and that was mostly spent wrestling with PayPals new beast of an API, and testing with users to try and shake out the worst of the bugs. However it's filling up pretty quickly, much to my relieve and my squeaking bum!

BTW - Please don't think we chose to limit the first box to rush people in to subscribing. It's simply because most mixoligists have a 3-4 week lead time and we can order to supply the 100 first people. 

I quite fancy trying Bread of Heaven, so I might have to deselect the no tobacco to begin with!


That leads me to a question I was going to ask before you kind of answered it in your reply to Dreamy.  Might there be an option in the future to not be sent any plain tobacco flavours, if indeed you plan to send any out, but still get liquids like Bread of Heaven?

Can you send your email address and remind me of the conversation? I'll make sure you get a bottle. [e-mail]

Speculate to accumulate as that old saying goes piddy . . . I'd think that once your first consignment goes out and gets feedback, then you'll probably be sold out.

Hi Richo - There is no contract. You can subscribe and cancel anytime.

The first box ships on the 7th April - we have set it up so you don't get charged till then, incase you get cold feet. 

I don't want anyone to feel trapped unless it's because they can't bear to miss out on getting a box of yumminess each month!

hi yeah I have had a look but the price is, in my personal opinion a fiver to high, considering it is a subscription, for me bespoke juice is roughly around £22-£25 delivered for 50ml, also your nicotine levels are vague i would want every bottle to be 18mg not varying strengths of nic, i think more work is needed in this area and the pg/vg ratios too, if i subscribe to a specific package i would want that same package month after month or until i decide to change that, i like the idea of trying various juices each month but not of varying strengths and ratios, on the face of it the the idea is good but vapers and i have specific levels of nic and pg/vg ratios and as this subscription service is not able to provide this it is slightly floored for me. thanks anyway and good luck in your venture

I understand completely - This wouldn't work for people who want very specific nic , PG/VG, and don't like the idea of getting the odd bottle that they might not like.
It should be seen as an opportunity to try new things that you might not have been able to try and get exclusive flavours and first tries of new juice. I know that will be a niche that not everyone will value.

That'll be good -not expecting a big following. Just a small bunch of enthusiasts.

Thanks for your support everyone!

I think it's a great idea and have signed up. It may seem expensive but I have wasted lots of money buying juice that sounds wonderful and isn't whilst acquiring only a few that sound wonderful and are. piddy can I dip in and out of this? Try for a couple of months then, if I find something I really like, opt out till I'm ready to look for something new?

[poochops]

On the basis I can opt out of tobacco, and get a lower nic range, I'm in! Looking forward to receiving my first pack of mystery juices!
One thing occurred to me though, will that tube fit in a letterbox or are we all queuing down the post office on 9th April?!?
