A mixed bag, mostly good where it counts
For starters they do not answer e-mails. After several wonderful experiences with bringing on a new vendor and the fact that previously tested ones were no longer trusted--I do vibe checks before ordering from anyone new. After reading their lack of a return policy on juice and being sent some old, bunk (dark when it's always been clear) from a past source, I wanted a little more clarification on what to expect. Crickets. I was also interested in a Purge mech mod that was available, crickets again on 2 simple product-related questions.
Also, spending over a certain dollar amount lets you 'choose' your free gift. There is only one choice: a pack of disposables. I'm into RBAs so that appeals about as much as hemorrhoids surgery without anesthesia. But hey they were free, convenient and worth a shot, so I will look past the overly aggressive marketing with the intention of getting me on a product that will undoubtedly make me even more dependent on nicotine than I already am, and where things like ingredients are anything but transparent. There was no mention of any menthol in the flavor description, but a lot of lines to read between when they say things like 'cool rush of Blue Raspberry' or maybe even the 'soda' part of 'lemon-lime soda'. Huh? Blue Razz is sweet NOT cool on its own. I ordered about 4 dozen bottles of juice, and none were menthol. Had I known going in that this would taste like vaping a cough drop the freebie would not have been any kind of a selling point. In fact the box of 9 renaming and the open one all went in the garbo after 3 puffs. Disgusting. Whether the culprit is menthol, ice or koolada is just semantics; it all tastes like a N'Ice, NOT 'nice' lol.
But on the pro's side and the main concern, I did not wind up with anything with obvious signs of being well past its prime. Nothing was heavily oxidized other than a couple bottles that I thought looked overly dark for fruit juice (pretty much all I vape). Shipping was prompt as well it should have been with an $18 flat fee that you find out about once you get into the checkout part of the transaction.
Honestly this is far from a perfect scenario, but it beats being scammed and they have quite a few juices I either like or would like to try--and at a decent price even if not the absolute lowest. Vape Wholesale showed early signs of being reliable and trustworthy on the most crucial aspects of what is important to me, so I will return for re-up as long as this remains to be the case. That's just rational business, does not mean I'm going to shower you with sunshine and rainbows overall when there are pretty obvious areas that could do with some improvement.
