Sad to see you go, Gunners Gold.

Looks like Botboy has closed shop, from the site:

> Thank you for visiting. After nearly 2 years in a business that started as a hobby, due to alternative career obligations, we have decided to close up shop. Keep an eye on the forums for those diy'ers out there to see all of our recipes released in the coming weeks.

Just wanted to say that im sorry to see this and thank you. Best of luck to you in the future!

Sad for those who won't get to enjoy his recipes. Those of us who have and will at least still have something to look forward to.

I am starting to think him and /u/abdada ran off somewhere together. Two awesome people that have helped me and this sub very much have both been absent for way too long

Miss you all. Sorry I haven't been around these parts lately. I still try to browse on occasion buto the real job has really amped up the last few months, to the point I couldn't find the two hours a week to keep the doors of GGG open any longer.

Will try to find some time in the coming weeks to get all of our recipes posted up here in one thread for easy reference.

Love ya'll keep on keeping on!

I'm like the emotionally abusive father, and he's simply trying to emulate me in hopes that I acknowledge his success.

All kidding aside, I've bought the concentrates and they're fantastic. Shout it from the rooftops. Makes it easy to have consistently good juice as I'm experimenting with my own creations.

It's pretty great of him to release his recipes as he goes, too.

Certainly one of the good guys on here . Hopefully this decision is for good reasons . His apple pie and viscous vanilla recipes were/are freaking amazing

I hope this decision wasn't based on the imposing FDA regs. I believe we will see more and more juice vendors dropping out of the game as the regs begin to take effect. Best of luck Botboy!

I personally know a few guys with juice or vape shops that are panicking hard right now. PA just passed a 40% vape tax that's gonna kill local shops and PA based juice cos.

Seems like it's fight or flight time in the industry right now. I'd hate to be some of the guys who became successful from ecigs and are now looking at the complete destruction of their livelihood.

Damn! That's really too bad. I always enjoyed the responses he provided on this forum and missed him when he left. All the best to him (/u/Botboy141) and his future endeavours. (Can't wait to see all those medicine flower recipes released....I see bank account drainage happening shortly thereafter.)

/u/Botboy141 Good Luck, You have defiantly helped me with mixing in the past. Usually it was a tip here and a trick there. When you add those up it is invaluable. Thank you.

dear /u/Botboy141 , I don't spend too much time around these parts anymore, but I still check in from time to time. I was sad to see that you are leaving but I am excited for you that it is for happy reasons rather than sad ones. I hope you won't be a stranger here. You have really been an admirable resource and an excellent sub friend to everyone here.
