There is a division of the govt that deals with weights and measurements to protect consumers from these kinds of practices. Sounds like MF may be breaking the law. G

I came here to mention this, and yes, you are correct; MF is breaking FEDERAL law.

I thought so. It's been awhile since I was in school but I did remember that. Lol

If it's true, that's pretty outrageous for a company to say: "ok ok, you caught us, we'll throw a little extra your way if we have it, but we're going to keep screwing everyone else".

I love medicine flower so much, but it's already expensive as it is.

I thought those 15 mls were running out fast.

I'be personally noticed that any juice, flavoring, ingrediens for diy e-juice that comes in a bottle that is not transparent, comes in short. Also the 15 ml bottles with the glass drippers always have less juice than bottles with the squeeze tops because the displacement caused by the glass pippette.

Hell I tried out that churro flavor juice last week that comes in the little teal paper carton (same company that does the milk flavor in the little milk carton). The bottle was white and completly opaque, can't even see how much juice you have left (which is shitty), and when brand new there was 22ml of juice in a 30ml bottle for a premium e-liquid...

The corners being cut all over the flavor and

I noticed the same thing with my bottle of that. Churrios is a dank flavor though

I sell hundreds of bottles of churrios and I have never seen them have a short bottle, in fact a bottle of churrios wont fit into our 30 ml plastic bottles. You must have got one that had some juice leak out or something. Suicide bunny on the other hand had been sending us shorted bottles for months before we stopped carrying it.

Sounds like they are measuring by weight and not volume with an incorrect ml to gram calculation.

I really hope not because that just screams "incompetence" on top of "we just don't give a shit".

Pretty much.

This isn't it. There bottles just hold a max of 15ml without dropper (I purchased 1500 similar at one point and had to pitch them).

4 points
 
by ceedee99ukalmost 10 years ago

So all they need do is relabel their bottles as, say, 12ml and edit the website?

The longer they leave it, the greater the credibility hit.

Medicine Flower has been in business since 1985, I doubt they are concerned about this minor inconvenience.

They also to not cater to vapers and after discussions with the owner over a year ago, actually preferred that their product not be associated with ECIGs.

1 points
 
by daathalmost 10 years agoMixologist

That is exactly what they do (or at least that's what my impression was, based on their response). But /u/Botboy141 above says the bottles themselves cannot contain 15ml with the dropper inside... :/

That is fucked up. Their website says they're in Oregon (shipping from), is the company based outside the US? Even then wouldn't a simple report to whichever entity regulates false advertising be enough to make them change?

if they are charging 22$ a bottle and only giving 12ml, cheeky swines are ripping off the paying customer to the tune of 4.4$ per bottle, totally unacceptable and should be held accountable. despicable business practice, if it dont fit the bottle then do the honorable thing and buy new bigger bottles !

5 points
 
by daathalmost 10 years agoMixologist

Exectly. Or change the label to reflect that it contains 12ml!

I suppose that explains the 3 samples of raspberry they sent me with my $300 order.

P.S notes coming soon ;)

by daathalmost 10 years agoMixologist

Ooooh, more notes :D I'm curious how many are good. Those I know that have tried them hasn't had one flavor they didn't think was superior... Which pains me, because I want to try them, but right now I don't want to do business with them :P

by DrMclovensalmost 10 years agoThe Mad Alchemist

I understand the whole, low ml's thing. but honestly, their customer support, shipping EVERYTHING was just 10/10.

Everything about them was 10/10 for me, until I found out about the low ml's

Never ordered from them, but if I recall they are pretty expensive. Granted it's stronger than most concentrates. Still, that's pretty messed up if they are shorting an obvious amount of liquid. Someone should file with BBB or report this to some authority.

Are the 30ml bottles also short? I'm surprised with the amount of business they do, you would figure this issue would of been resolved by now.

2 points
 
by daathalmost 10 years agoMixologist

I haven't heard about their 30ml bottles, but I would think they suffer from exactly the same issue, due to the way they fill... Apparently they use weight and not volume, but they didn't take weight per ml into account, so there's almost certainly always less.

I have bought a lot of "premium" juice that was short of the listed amount. The last was 2 30ml bottles that only had 12.5 and 13.25 in them. That's crazy to rip people of that way when juice can cost up to $1 a ml.

C, mon lol, a 30 ml bottle had only 12.5 ml of juice , that is mind boggling .

2 points
 
by catdumplingalmost 10 years ago

I think he's full of it. A 30ml that only had about 13ml in it would be half-full. I don't think any vendor would try to be that blatantly shitty. There's no way you'd convince someone that a half-empty bottle was a full 30ml.

2 points
 
by surfishermanalmost 10 years ago

Yeah , i didn't buy it but he corrected the oversight , he meant 15 ml not 30 .

2 points
 
by sinnersaint9almost 10 years ago

That was supposed to be 15ml. I type 30ml much more often.

Odd they don't do the obvious choice of ripping people off instead.

By diluting their concentrates with PG.

Are the rebottles that ECX sells the right amount?

4 points
 
by daathalmost 10 years agoMixologist

ECX rebottle themselves, so I'm pretty sure it's the correct amount (it's also only 5ml) - ECX sells them as Lotus Flavoring, if anyone didn't know this.

I have been shorted by flavorings from many outfits , some have clearly have been short the advertised ml but you live and learn i suppose.

The Gov these days allows Federal Law to be broken with no repercussions whatsoever , they never enforce laws that are on the books if they happen to disagree with them .

You can down vote it all you want but it's 100% accurate statement .,

I guess I might care more about this if their flavors weren't super concentrated and also of varying potencies. Even with the misleading info the flavors are still worth it IMO. Short me a few mL on vanilla tho and I might make a stink but the blueberry I got will probably last me until I die so not sure I care. Transparency is always nice. Especially if you are running something larger than a diy operation.

What % do you use for stand alone blueberry, I got 6 of their flavors and I am having trouble pinpointing this one.

Thanks!

2 points
 
by dbbldz123almost 10 years ago

I don't really use it standalone tbh have only combined it with FW Blueberry to give it a more 'fresh blueberry' edge. about 0.5% of a 10% dilution works well for me.

by Pistis-over 9 years ago

If you were to go standalone, what % do you think would be best.

Is medicine flower worth it? Holy shit that stuff is expensive

1 points
 
by daathover 9 years agoMixologist

It is insanely concentrated and the flavor is supposedly spot on, since they're extracted from actual stuff :) Some people dilute it 1:5 or 1:10 and use the resulting dilution in 1-3%

Medicine Flower just posted this on ELR's facebook page (direct link to the facebook post here).

Basically they're trying to come up with a satisfactory solution to this :)

Any update on this? I sent them an email a while back, haven't heard anything. I want to place another order but not get shorted.

by daathover 9 years agoMixologist

No, I haven't heard anything from them since they posted on the ELR facebook page... They said they were working something out, but it's been a while and no word of anything...

To make my job easier when I'm launched, please get in the habit of flairing your posts. If you can't find a flair that applies, please let /u/skiddlzninja know so it can be remedied. Thank you.

/u/NotCharlesManson are you as irritated as I am? I was just about to place another order with them. The wild rasp, blueberry, peach and white cherry are all fucking phenomenal single flavors at 1%, though the chocolates (while good I think) need help.

by NotCharlesMansonalmost 10 years ago

Honestly? I don't have much of an input at this point. A kind soul sent me their flavors last month, and I'm just now getting used to them to the point where I'm probably going to make an order. I think it's very shady on their part, and I really hope they sort it out. I'm sure it can be taxing as a business to see this huge influx of orders. I know I wouldn't want to take that on. But that's just it; they're a business. They should make it right for their user base, and I'm sure they will. The average user may get screwed over at the moment, which won't look good on them. But I think they'll take this huge mistake into heavy consideration and come back with something to draw even more customers that they may have lost due to this.
