I saw that coming too, don’t need anything. Flavours, nicotine, mods and tanks, you name it.
What I didn’t see coming was the shortage and rising prices of VG and PG.
When there’s none of that, what am I going to vape?
Another thing I didn’t think about was the conveniently planned energy crisis, driving people away from gas onto the electricity net.
Since they’ve closed most of the plants in this country, we’re going to end up with blackouts.
Bye bye nicotine.
Every cloud has a silver lining When it gets really, really bad, I can drink my nicotine!
Actually most of the basics i ordered from vapable where far cheaper then chefs. I only went to chefs for the vta and their concentrates. Then it was ssa. But vapable and NN are very comparable on pricing both have ones cheaper then the other. What sucks about NN is if i run out im not getting it in two days. So i have to be careful now. Takes a week to get it to the SW of england and if its strike days its longer. I think chefs over estimated their staying power and added way too much. Especially when there is others out there. Between their free shipping threshold onto there prices on some brands. Im all stocked up and they have nothing i want. The fact that i could go elsewhere to get essentials with free shipping it was a no brainer. I think its more then just not shipping to the eu. But we will never know
Funny you should say that.
Last night I thought I’d place one last order with chefs and take advantage of the discount.
But my shopping cart kept disappearing and reappearing when I’d reloaded a couple and it was getting very confusing.
I was on there for ages scouring all the manufacturers but eventually ended up with rather a small order as they were mostly out of stock of flavours I was interested in. Eventually I reached a realisation that I was having trouble both loading the cart and actually buying flavours I wanted and just thought stuff it I’ve had enough and I’m mainly buying flavours I don’t really want anyway.
I just tried to make another purchase, a very large order, and it refuses to go through. I even called my bank to make sure it wasn’t on my end, and it wasn’t. I think there is a glitch on their website, especially for large orders, and it is extremely frustrating! I’m sorry to hear you are also having problems. Have you tried adding items to your cart so that you don’t lose track on what you want?
I did the same thing Gazza, I did not even put anything in the cart but also did not proceed with the order.
Even though I love a bargain, it’s not a bargain if you don’t know that you’ll use it.
Hey D-man, I asked you a question under Golden Grahams:bowl_with_spoon: – SessionDrummer Original. I wanted to know what % of Malt (NF) I should add? Thanks mucho!
I just had a play on the site. I was able to add to cart GBP$132 worth of items, all sizes, multiples etc. multiple browser windows open etc. with no issues. I did not try to checkout! and have now deleted all items and closed the window.
On PC running windows 11.
I have NF Malt, but never solo’d it, so, only as a guess, I would think light, as merely a light accent, so as NOT to throw off the delicate ratio of the OG. Maybe 0.25-0.50%.
Yep, he made me a delicious recipe once :). Apparently, we have a lot of NF flavors in common. Thanks for the % tips. I just need to get to mixing soon!
Those words are what was ringing in my head!
It was an old favourite of my mums. Surprising the things and words of wisdom that actually stick even though I never listened back in the day.
I’ll second that as I very much doubt I’ll buy from them again either.
For me it was the much wider choice coupled with much better pricing than I’d pay in Australia that attracted me. I’m not going to buy premade juice from anyone let alone pay the postage from the other side of the world.
Me neither, if they had kept their CSC line I would have but I have no need for one shots or commercial juice.
I have just recently learned that Dark Star U.K. are having a sale on for concentrates which will go on indefinitely. Doesn’t look good either.
Me neither since i don’t buy premixed juices. But there’s one thing we shouldn’t do – blame Chefs right now. Chefs saved us so much (money and market annoyances), they have always listened us. It is a sad news and it looks like Nomnomz is the only remaining meaningful option for Europeans now and that’s very bad; two years ago we had an option to buy at dozen UK shops. What’s worse is that even this won’t last long imho.
We have to read between the lines to understand what it is about.
Giants (Chefs is No1 player globally; BullCity is bigger, maybe even someone else, but they are not internationally orientated) don’t change their business model completely overnight, but they rather slowly adapt – the last thing they’d wish is losing their market share, price negotiation power, tenthousands of their loyal customers and just say goodbye to the monopoly they had – just to start a business model where there’s much more competition. How ridiculous does that sound?
That is unless ofc a higher hand suddenly appears, a new regulation / politically forced annoyance or market disruption that they cannot overcome (meaning it’s not their business decision like they want you to believe in their answer, but a forced decision from outside that’s beyond their control).
We know TPD3 is around the corner and we can be sure that it will be much stricter, maybe even banning e-cigarette flavors completely or just introducing taxes high enough that most will quit (don’t mention they can’t do that, because i’d start wondering under what rock were you living last two years). Relativizing that regulation in a way that you’ll still be able to buy flavors in ordinary shops or other shops like vg/pg is also ridiculous and daydreaming, because while technically may be true, this is a no go for most and basically no solution.
Least to expect (if this comes true) is that you suddenly won’t have several hundreds of flavors to pick up in one place and prices for those flavors will be x2 or x3 or x5 at least. Add additional taxes, drastic shipping extra costs. Also, there will be more risk involved since those flavors will not be under vaping regulation (= thus sold without any control for vaping, since nothing will technically be allowed for vaping and thus noone will be performing those expensive tests for nothing; see sugars, fructose, coloring, other nasty ingredients). It also means no more wonderfully improved delightful new flavors coming out every quarter; all progress will be stopped.
They can even ban vaping publicly or bring up hefty penalties (just like some countries with bureaucratic prostitutes in charge already did; does anyone really think that this couldn’t happen in our ‘democracies’ and ‘free’ societies?). It’s not a who-cares or it-will-not-affect-me situation unless you’re totally ignorant.
If still in doubts (if it was a business decision or a forced one) – wouldn’t Chefs rather decide to keep their winners (or brands that are most profitable for them at least) and thus keep thousands of customers and remain big players globally? Couldn’t they keep SSA for example and charge them £2 for 10ml instead of £1 (which would still be very reasonable price for SSA compared to other brands and thus Chefs would be making x3 profits this way)? There’s just no logic in this sudden business model change as they want you to believe…(on top, it’s coming up just couple of months after they launched their own line).
It’s rather just a clear sign that very dark clouds are around the corner and they are fix already (and closer look on other vendors is just confirming those fears). If only dark clouds were coming only over vaping…
Cute pittie, shame they get such a bad rap. They are the sweetest things. My daughters pittie was part shar-pei so we always called her a “shit” amazing companion for her, for many years.
When it gets really, really bad, I can drink my nicotine!
