Sounds like a data centre outage to me

Well the thing with 10mls is they are essential for people wanting to test out lots of flavours so you really can't get away from them. Personally, I am not going to buy 30ml of something I haven't tried before... I have had far too many flavours that I can't stand or don't like enough to want 30ml (not from you, I mean in general).
Having said that though, the price variations don't put me off buying 10ml bottles from you with extra flavour, I think it's still a good price... but obviously bigger bottles are better value which is how it should be.
BTW I have tried several times, but I can't get your system to recognise my email to create an account, I have ordered from you a couple of times and it would be very handy to be able to see what the % mix of custom flavours was before reordering.

I certainly don't think it's unfair since your prices are still excellent for custom juices.
I am not sure how logical the price variations are though... especially with there being no difference in variation between a 10ml and 30ml bottle ???.

-  so they do, you're right, just popped of to vape-escape to have a quick look. Still worries me about it breaking or something  The Vivi Nova is MUCH sturdier than clearos. It really is built to last. I have dropped mine several times, not so much as the slightest leak. The Tube is a lot thicker than on clearos, it really is built to last - and if you switch to the metal tube then it really is pretty indestructible. The materials used, the design and the manufacture of these are of a significantly higher standard than clearos which are designed to be disposable. Couldn't agree with you more..............but, sometimes takes a few folks a little longer to get the courage up! :-[ That comment wasn't directed at you specifically  |

I agree that a vast amount of the population don't know what most vaping devices are... however I think vapers make an illogical leap when they think they may be mistaken for a device for consuming illicit drugs. A Vivi Nova on a Twist really looks no stranger than a clearo on a Twist... and in either case they don't look like any drug paraphernalia that I have ever seen (and I have seen my fair share  ) In my opinion, the more we use our devices openly without fear of what others may or may not think, the less of a problem ignorance becomes. |

Hi, womble, As you can see I'm a complete noob, but I have a pipe dream of opening my own shop, Amsterdam style coffee shop. As a noob I can tell you it's a jungle of info out there, 99.9 percent of it online. Surely there's ample space for a good ole fashion face to face service. The sales assistant you saw today wasted a valuable customer for sure. I couldn't agree more. Retail doesn't appeal to me, but as a businessman I can see that there is huge potential there - if done properly. What other business do you get customers who are currently spending £xx a week on something extremely unhealthy who will happily spend a similar amount on something both healthier and more satisfying?! |

I agree that the Vivi seems to be very popular and attractive, this forum alone has numerous threads with converts - but it's too big and bulky and liable to break on me  I don't want to risk it - I want to keep slim-line if at all possible so it doesn't look like I'm chuffing away on some illegal drug paraphernalia The Vivi Nova is very sturdy, not sure why you think it is liable to break... get a metal tank and it's pretty much indestructible! As for the illegal drug paraphernalia issue... that is something I see a lot of people worrying about and I just don't get it.  |

Meh... still not tempted. I like purple... but that looks more like lavender to me so I can resist |

I know the feeling Tim. I think I have tried about 75% of the clearos on the market and can't really say I like any of them. Either they leak... the draw is wrong... the flavour is bad... or most annoyingly of all, they are great but you can't use a drip tip of your choice so it's tough luck if you don't like whatever is provided for you to stick between your lips! Finding what works for you can be a very very frustrating process! I will echo Karmas advice... although carto tanks are 1 thing I have yet to try. The Vivi Nova I absolutely love though  I have 2 now... and will probably buy a few more. They are very easy to use, topping up is a breeze, flavour is great and for the price of about 2 clearos you get something that will last a LOT longer. |

Callum is there a reason for 30ml bottles of Midnight Meadow being unavailable or is it a mistake?  |
