I was a part of TV Co-op #3. I also just today sent payment for #4 before hearing about all of this. Hadn't sampled many of the juices I had received, but wanted to try more. Blerg.

I think most of the complaints are from the TV Co-Op 3(?), the last one (before the current one) that offered all the 'regular' flavors (ie Atomic Cinnacide, Geoff's Blend, etc). I was not in that one, but I was in the 'custom' Co-op, which was 24 custom flavors, 1 by each member of the co-op. There haven't been as many complaints for that one, besides some of the flavors being light. Also for the custom co-op, there is no basis to judge against, as these are all custom flavors. Many are still 'steeping' their juices, too.
Here's a picture of the goo...I poured a little of the PralinesNCream from Co-op #3 onto a paper towel.
The "goo" was there when I ordered directly from the website. It was slimy and disgusting looking. Besides clogging up the bottle. It dissolved/went away after about 3 weeks. It's fine now.
I was thinking of getting in on one of these co-ops for TV, but I'm glad I saw this first.

Ok, that is just wrong. If I found that in my bottle I would probably be sick to my stomach. Is that from the third co-op? I need to know.
Ok i was in Co op #2, and then she did 3 and i think a special order one in between. where the ppl had the choice of what mix of flavors they wanted ... correct me if i am wrong?
and now there is #4..

and now there is #4..

You are correct, except the 'custom' co-op was in between the #3 and the current #4. Maybe that's what you said after all, sorry....
As thick and slimy as it was, I was wondering if it was the vg? I have no idea. I paid good money for this, so I'm gonna vape it. It tastes fine, and the "goo" is gone now.
Ok, so there was
1
2. missy/bob was in
3. Shannanon and I were in (the goo, jules)
3.5 mixit was in
I found one bottle I had left (the Cherry Cola) and peeled away a bit of the label, held it up to a flashlight. I cannot SEE anything but liquid, but it is very dark. Did you pour it on the napkin without the dropper? I can pour this out, but for now.. I do not see anything else in the bottle, FWIW

Yes it is from the third co-op and I have multiple bottoms with this stuff in it, the first bottle I found was before anyone had posted problems...the Key Lime Pie had the most and it got dumped as soon as I got it!
Yeah Leanne I had to take the dropper off the bottle poured it on the napkin and waited for the juice to soak up in the napkin before taking the pic.

I was in co-op 2, but I had no problems with my juice. All tasted okay to me.
Regarding the color, I have a bottle of AC doubler ordered from the company, and it is nearly clear. Just the slightest touch of yellow.
One thing I wanted to mention regarding the amount of profit that is being made by the co-op operator, is that she must also pay the Paypal fees for the money transactions. She does not do the "gift" thing, she sends a request for payment to her business, so I believe she has to pay a Paypal fee for that. Not sure how much it is.

I was a part of co-op 2, regular flavors. I didn't get any goo in any of my bottles but I honestly just didn't care for any of the flavors. I found them to by either bland or overly sweet. I've been letting them "age" since mid-June, no improvement. Even those that were OK were very hard on my cartos.
Just my story, FWIW. I never ordered from TV before because, frankly, there is something about the whole atmosphere at his subforum that makes me feel uncomfortable. The worship of the owner, the owner's diva-like attitude, and the way he talks to people and demands constant adulation and applause, just make me sick, frankly. But what do I know?
Luckily, there are plenty of other vendors who carry better tasting e-liquids and don't behave like they are doing me a favor by letting me buy from them. Just my

I knew i wasnt the only one who noticed that..
I was in the co-op#3 also. I haven't tried most of the samples yet. Most of the ones I have tried, I don't care too much for. It's probably just my taste though. After reading through this thread I checked my bottles and don't see any floaters in there. Two things I did notice is the off taste of the AC, it has a weird perfumey taste to it. I had a whole bottle of this before and it never tasted like the sample. Second, the sample of caramel popcorn is almost watery clear, the bottle I ordered previously is a bright orange???
I wasn't in any of the TV co-ops but I did just purchase some VG and 100mg PG nic juice from VaporingQueen. To my knowledge everything is kosher. Although, I really wouldn't have any way of knowing if the 100mg nic is actually 100mg nic and I haven't tried it yet either. If I find anything suspicious about either of them, I'll let you guys know.
Having said that, I'm betting that what another person (I'm too lazy to go back and look) said is the case; that the juices just didn't have time to steep and come into their proper flavors.
