Well, Lynn, my wife thinks I should make juice and sell it on the web.
I don't know if I could handle it as if I get too much on the order's I might not be able to keep up with them.
But I also think I should to help suppliment our income and sell to only people I know from here.. Kinda a private stock thing..
Could I get some feedback?
Maybe I could send samples to others and see if they think I am good enough..

Now that's ironic! Was just telling to my son that there was some real money to be made in selling juice over the next few years. The eCig market is only just starting to really take off and will grow exponentially.

I say go for it, Stu. If I had 1) seed money, 2) space (live in a sm apt) and 3) any talent in DIY juice, I'd be tempted myself. Just as well that I like my job!

once again i lost my post!! duh haha, yeah i agree with twolf, there is alot of money to be made in juice. As i'm sure you have seen, everyone around here is always ready to try out new vendors and new juices. A few vendors are well known only because of a few juices that are so popular. Word spreads fast when someone has found their "favorite" and then everyone else HAS to try it. Most of us order from more than 1 vendor, special flavor from this one, special flavor from that one. So, it only takes one!! Few down sides, like initial cost of supplies, post office runs, what types of payments to take, time, complaints, i'm sure theres more. Start small see where it goes, a small investment may lead to something bigger and maybe alot of money in your pocket. Oh and you post alot, people know you and would trust your juice.

Thank you for the reassurance, julep.
I just might do it, but I need people to try the liquid.
Hmmmmm... (looking around at everyone in the group with evil eyes..)

Stu,

I have an open mind... at least I like to think so and I would give it a shot. You might want to start a poll and ask each person to describe how they would like their juice to taste and vape. This might give you a set direction to go with and cut down the cost of experimenting.

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Hi Stu - if you have a local Social Group that has meetings you could have them sample for you. That way, you won't have to invest in sample bottles and ship out to folks for free.

If there isn't one, pick one near by from the ECF list and ship to one person. Let them have a tasting and send you back feedback sheets (that you send with the samples).

Just a few ideas... Good luck to you!

 

[stubear62]

Thank You very much for the input and Ideas Jimi and Helen!!
I will be doing something soon. Maybe in the next week or two.
I have something I did and so far I am liking this liquid VERY much. A LOT of vapor and nice TH and Taste..
Will let people know with-in that time frame as what I will be doing..
Vape On!
Stu

Sounds good! Just letting you know, if you have any tobacco-flavored e-liquids I'd be happy to pay for a sample and give you honest feedback! Good luck!

 

[Jimi Mack]

Stu, do something soon and good please. You know it is bad when you over draft your bank account to make sure you get your order of Halo in because their stock has become limited and you can not run out.

Hey Stu,
I think you should totally do it if you are wanting too. I myself am in the process of starting up my own lil thing. If I had my own private room to mix juices in I would totally do it, by I think I will mainly be dealing in hardware. I'd love to be able to mix juices for people though...fun stuff I'd be happy to test your juice out if you want to keep my in mind. I've bought from lots and lots of different vendors. About 95% of my juice is USA made, when I first started out I just got the cheap stuff but no I'm all USA Let me know Stu and good luck on your new venture!

 

[stubear62]

Thanks Jimi and Bella,
In about two weeks some flavors should be ready to go out. Small samples and so. I need to get some flavors in first.
What type f tobbacco would you want?
RY4, Flue cured.. I really only want to do like 3 or 4 Tobbacco flavors..

 

[Jimi Mack]

By the way what does Flue Cured taste like. I am a menthol user and not that used to the tobacco tastes. Any news on samples as of yet?

 

[stubear62]

Hey Jimi,
Yeah.
Due to the cost I have no choice but to delay my idea for now. Since being disabled and live on a certain income, I am having to deal with lots of Dr bills.
Now a new developement has come up.
I am losing the feeling in both hand, specially the right one and can not hold things or even write my name.
I have 2 herniated discs in my back and now in my neck. Due to this developement, I cannot do what I want to at this moment.
As for what flue cured tastes like, I'm not sure. There is some info on the forum about it.
I thought you knew.
My bad..LOL

 

[Jimi Mack]

Na, I have no idea on what that would taste like, thought it might be something up your alley.

Sorry to hear about what is going on with you. Hope things get better and you feel better.

 

[VDS_NY]

Sorry to hear about your troubles Stu. Hope you get better soon!

 

[stubear62]

Thanks VDS..
I just wish it would too, but unfortunatly,
I am just getting worse. Now things are getting harder to hold and pick up and other things too.
Sheesh..

 

[honuhart]

sorry to hear that stu..hope you are feeling better.

 

[PaulCincy]

Go for it.....The time for production and of course Customer Service issues will take most of the time....Shipping is pretty straight-forward, unless you utilize the U.S. Post Office, then that too can be time-consuming...UPS/Fed-Ex,,,great - pick-up/delivery, but of course the extra cost to ship that way...
Can't wait to see what you "cook-up"....Good luck...
Later,
PaulCincy

 

[TWolf]

Stu - I've not been checking post as much as I should obviously! Hate to hear about your difficulties. Hope the doc is taking good care of you! There'll always be time to work on the juice idea, but you have to take care of youself before you can take care of anything else. Keep us posted and we'll keep you in our thoughts.

 

[lairkeeper]

Sorry to hear that you're not going to be able to go ahead with this right away. Take care of yourself and it'll come in time. When you're ready to go I'd be happy to pay for small samples to test and review for you. I'm all for having as many US created juices on the market as possible (and within a day or two's shipping time from me ). Some of the chinese stuff tastes ok, but QC issues with other products from China make me nervous.... Chinese hardware doesn't make me nearly as nervous as chinese software for some reason. Illogical, but true.
