Frequent year long lurker but never poster here, but I feel that this is worth posting.

I put in an order with Bull City yesterday and was really happy about not only exceeding the free shipping threshold, but also getting the discounted holiday rate. Felt pretty good about myself at that point.

Cause I'm thrifty like that.

I was less happy after further browsing^lurking and finding I was short some key make or break ingredients in some amazing sounding recipes. Sooo... back to BCF it was.

Sadly, and I really tried, I couldn't hit the free shipping threshold again. My rational mind tells me that really, spending more to get free shipping (I was like maybe $25 away) isn't a super sound financial decision, but man... do I love me some free shipping.

Long story long, I couldn't do it. I just ended up hitting submit with a heavy heart and a much lower high. I paid the shipping. sigh

Imagine my surprise when in my email this morning was a message from Jake at BCF telling me they had combined my orders and credited the difference to my next order.

The non-rational free shipping loving portion of my brain lit up like a Christmas tree. It was a true dopamine hurricane of yissssssness.

Granted, they're the only flavor company I've done business with for nearly a year, but I gotta tell ya, anyone looking to best Bull City in the service/shipping department better pack a lunch, cause it's gonna be a looong day.

Also as a longtime lurker, I just wanted to thank everyone here.

The only reason my husband (I'm a girl, but don't tell anyone) was able to quit was /u/ThirdWorldOrder 's Creamy Caramel Custard. He's been vaping it since we quit analogs about a year ago. Before that he tried patches, Chantix (twice), gum, and about anything else anyone suggested to no avail. ^Even hypnosis, but we keep that one on the DL.

I'm still so seriously amazed that he actually quit. Had I not stumbled on Third World's more caramel than caramel itself recipe, I have no doubt he'd still be digging himself into an early grave with analogs. Not to mention he smells like pancake syrup. Not even gonna lie. Chicks dig pancakes. Write that one down, fellas.

I'm lucky enough to like most everything posted here and just wanted to thank not just BCF, but everyone that contributes here. You are truly appreciated.

I'm a nurse and always felt like such a hypocrite doing patient teaching about the massive cardiac risk of smoking as a smoker myself.

Now I'm an non-analog advocate with research on my side. You aren't negating every potentially harmful outcome by switching from smoking to vaping, but man are you lowering those ugly odds.

Anyhow, thanks again. You guys do more good here than you probably know, and thanks again to Jake and the BCF gang. I really, really appreciate all of you.

I'd call you all out by name, but I'm afraid I'd miss someone and I'd need to show you all equal love. I'd bake you all cookies, but I'll spare you from that. I'm good with IVs, but I'm shit with baking.
