What could we do better?

[Chris K]

I was just thinking, you could do some covert Reddit marketing.

They don't allow vendors anymore but if you create a personal account and just do occasional handchecks with different bottles or "I love this liquid!" posts you'll get away with it as long as you don't post any links. I think @Chris K does this.

My wife @LDotKDot does, I’m absolutely useless with Social Media stuff, she is very good though so I just pay her in ELiquid!

Companies like Digbys used to be exciting because of unique flavour mixes that you wouldn't find anywhere else ... now they just have to make a standard fruity line to even get people to consider them? .... that's fucking depressing, especially as 'Hooligan' is a still a really good fruit vape that would stand up against fruit flavour made by anyone since.

El Diablo do the fruit thing, not every company has to be everything to everyone ... but I guess that's where we are these days.

I think your answer is here @Digbys and you'll probably find it as depressing as I do, rather than carving out your own little niche with unique flavours that you spent months developing, these days you just need to bang out a generic fruity line to lure all those folk away from there blackcurrant or orange disposable.

The Alchemist Cupboard recently realised their Pixie range which is all (I believe) the current popular flavours in disposables, although how the fk disposable users find the Alchemist is a mystery to me, it's prob more that vapers see these flavours in disposables and want them in their tanks.
Boring, but trendy and staples nonetheless......blackcurrant ice n the like will always be popular

yeah we do one called black sun, its bloody lovely and £5.00 for a 50ml short... thought this would get people like that but alas, you need to be in front of their faces

To be perfectly honest, the idea of all the independent companies getting together and selling their products from one website is pure genius. A range of shortfills, concentrates etc seems like the way forward. You're not fighting for business - people might like one particular juice from Company A and three from Company B, but postage might hold them back from ordering a single bottle. If you can find a way to have them all in one place and sent out as one delivery all the better. Over time, sellers who are a bit wary of joining the scheme will no doubt see the benefits and join up - the snowball effect.

That would suit me perfectly as I mainly order from Manabush, Legio and Primevapes. It might incentivize me to try a few of the other brands too.

@Digbys have you considered hawking yer mutton round all the vape B&Ms localish to you?

Vapers will buy what they enjoy regardless of how much work went into development, the company that stocks more of what vapers enjoy will make more sales.

Did this a little while ago, my dad a keen vaper went around to a load of stores, not much response or uptake when said shops get emails every day with a new brand of something for £1 per 100ml

Was my post inaccurate or ill considered, or are older people not allowed an opinion?
