Well with a name like VAPE TRAIN I’m sure that painted a huge target for the Australian govt. sure they could just change their name to like Flavor Train. Though I think vape trains decline has been coming for awhile. They used to offer quite a few e-liquids that I really enjoyed. I managed to recreate their Malibu style Jamaican Rum and their Raspberry Chocolate Bullets and several others. They also had one called Japanese Whiskey that was really intense it was a blackberry whiskey with a lot of fruity notes (boysenberry and strawberry notes) and just the slightest hint of a barrel aged whiskey. They discontinued it and I tried numerous times to recreate it to no avail.

There decline waa before this new announcement as a lot of concentrates started to disappear from businesses. And their popular ones where the main targets. As they where not restocking them to said businesses. My ? Is even though they are based in AU im starting to think their concentrates where manufactured outside AU. And they new the game was coming to a end as the want not be able to import them in. Or because of all this shit they cant even export them. Either way i never got deep into vta. Two or three i use constantly but ill find replacements

It may not be thy simple. Vape train may have been listed as a Flavor Manufacturer for Vaping ? If this is the case then it may ot be worth whatever trouble it may be to change things.If they were just a Flavor Manufacturer then a simple name change may work . I imagine they have been noticed by Australia Govt as a company that provides flavoring to people who vape …

They just wont be able to sell in Australia. So nomz said they are moving to wholesale only so time will. Just have to sit back with the popcorn ready to watch what unfolds

I thought that’s what they were? What else did they sell? Why couldn’t they branch out into that market and sell brewing products, for instance? LorAnn offers all kinds of candy making accessories and BCF carries equipment for beer and wine making. Just a thought if they wanted to stay in business that badly.

I think they where always devoted to the vape industry. And thats what they catered to. See i didnt understand why they would close whrn there are 5 continents they can still sell to. But if nomz is right it will be wholesale only. No vape law in Au can stop that

But doesn’t a business have the right to change course and reinvent themselves? Just thinking again…I guess I can’t accept losing another vape related business. I’m sick of hearing about this. Pisses me off.

Just in case anyone was interested in my remix of VT Japanese Whiskey. I usually keep a 30 ml one shot mixed up just in case I ever need it.

Well, well, well !!! I decided to announce this here because it has to do with discount coupons. DIY VAPOR SUPPLY just honored my “elrecipes” code for a 10% discount. When did they decide to to do this and should they be taken off our “Hall of Shame” list?

They’re fairly local (about 40 min) for me, but I’ve never been there. Nice to see they’re finally stepping up to the plate, as far as the discount goes. I think your review (should you decide to buy something) should determine whether they go back to the s-list or not.
No pressure though

Yes, I did place an order, that’s how I knew the code worked. I thought why not try, can’t hurt. It’s never worked for me in the past, though. I was quite surprised. I usually avoid them for 2 reasons, our shit list and their prices are higher than BCF but they carry flavors that are hard to get elsewhere. Sometimes ya just gotta!

They usually have a start of financial year sale and not an end of financial year sale. I don’t know if this is to differentiate them from other vendors at this time of year but I think it’s normally a couple of weeks later than this.
Therefore I’m thinking is that due to the upcoming axe on Australian vape businesses or am I just overthinking it?
