Hi Wingnut

That would be the first person on the list for the new Juice Sample Box - Strikes Back thread.

Quintron is the user who is first on this list, so I shall PM you on his details now.

done with the parcel, ricky, yer up!

StickyIcky · 07-08-2013 11:47am

Does Ricky still have this parcel? It's been a month since there's been any movement on this.

Luc, Rick, any info?

Yes, I have it. I've been a bit busy lately and I'd actually forgotten about it. I'll stick it in the post tomorrow, pm your address.

StickyIcky · 08-08-2013 12:39am

Richardw001 is next. Can you try to pm him?

richardw001 · 08-08-2013 9:40am

I'm still knocking about anyways if ricky wants to PM

Are the contents of the upward bound package much different to the one that I sent downwards ?

Send me your address please Richard.

It is different but to be honest what's left in there is not great, I'd say a lot of the liquids have been knocking around for a long time and don't really taste like they're supposed to.

Hey, if there is any going I'd be very interested. PM me and I will reply with my address. Thanks a mill!!

hmm - this is a bit like the poor mans version of "the juice strikes back" then
Seems like the other package has snowballed (what with the wingnuts generosity) while this one is becoming the toxic dumping ground :-)

Maybe rather than sending on - can you do up a quick list for here and we can discuss with everyone what to do with it.

Couple of options:

(1)
You're on the other list as well I see - so maybe we could hold off until the two intersect and if no one objects we could rejuvenate this one a bit ?

(2)
Dump it in a safe manner :-)

(3)
Get another vendor to do the same for this one as ESI have done for the other one - I imagine we could find at least one would be happy to contribute - its great advertising.

(4)
Other possibilities/options ?

Btw I'm really impressed that the parcels haven't been robbed at this stage - 4 months !
I put it down to StickyIckys vigilance

I'm happy to do whatever, simplest thing might be just to dump it though, especially with the other package making the rounds.

There were honestly very few decent juices in there, only half decent one was vampires kiss and that only had a couple of drops in it. I can put up pics later on of what's in it if that's any help?

Vampires kiss is nice alright - that was on the downward parcel I think though as well.

Maybe if we see if any vendors are interested in throwing some stuff into this pass the parcel - to get it to the same high level as the juice strikes back one first.

Thanks Richard and Ricky I agree with what you're saying. This remaining parcel pails in comparison. I've already been discussing starting up a new parcel with all new juices from vendors. I think at this stage that parcel is a bit screwed. I'd appreciate it if in about 7 days time whoever still has the parcel and I chat about this. I'm away for the next week you see. But perhaps a quick pm and even a phone call would be in order. Right now my suggestion would be to safely dump anything which is even slightly not nice looking and amalgimate anything which remains with a new parcel fill of new juices donated by vendors which I'm happy to convince vendors to part with. I have a plan in place about how to sell the idea of them giving free juice away. You're right about it being a great marketing tool. Rather than give free juice to one person, one bottle would go around ten or twenty this way.

How are the juices becoming so mangled? Are people pouring juice back in from their clearos or something?

I reckon some were old before the parcel was ever passed - lets have a chat with sticky when he returns from his sejourn i guess and decide on how to go forward

rickyjb · 14-08-2013 10:57am

I think people may have been using the parcel to clear out of some of their older juices (that was how this started in the first place after all). That and the fact that juices left sitting for a long time tend not to be the nicest.

I'll go through it tonight if I get time and dump anything that I think looks off or doesn't taste as it should. I'll put a picture up of what's left and we can decide what to do then.

StickyIcky · 23-08-2013 3:27pm

Hey Ricky. Someone on FB was messaging my on the Irish Vaping site there. I wont' say who just for annoynimaty sake. But we were talking about starting up a new juice parcel for the FB group. So perhaps once this remaining parcel is done, if there are any juices left worth keeping then great. If there are some that are kinda worth keeping but maybe not, we could hold a second hand juice raffle with Sir Digsbys blessing and flog them off. The plan now is to drum up so brand new commonly available juices from local Irish vendors and start with a new juice parcel for the FB group. The current massive juice strikes back parcel will be split into 2 or 3 parcels. That way there will be enough parcels of new tasty juice to go around for everyone.

Sounds like a plan?

That's right Richard, some of the juice had to have been old before it even reached the first person. Sir Digs started this to basically flog off his remaining juices and kindly give as many people the opportunity to try out some new juices. I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting it to go on this long, so the already second hand juices are now 10th hand and need to be laid to rest.

rickyjb · 23-08-2013 6:36pm

I'm good with that Sticky. Won't get a chance tonight or tomorrow but maybe Sunday I'll get around to putting up that pic of what's left that's decent. Raffle is a good idea, otherwise I'll just be dumping them.
