Greetings all!
Sorry for the late start, first priority is getting all the orders out and making sure all the sale items are in place before I announce anything. :)
So... Last week I tried to get /u/Bombies to join us for the day but I had completely forgotten what OUR last few weeks as a juice company were like. They are currently getting hammered with last minute purchases before the government ban kicks in putting the final nail in all these small businesses. They will be missed by many but I'm sure somehow he will overcome this and land on his feet.
As most of you ready this are aware, he did make a brief appearance and let us know that he was going to contribute to Free Friday by sending some Bombies Banana Cream. Now, I honestly don't know if this is THE 'Nana Cream that put them on the map, but it is THEIR banana cream that they had made just for them to use.
It did come in and I have to say, it is magnificent! If I could get my hands on an unlimited supply, I would absolutely use it in recipes!! As it is, it is here now and when it is gone, it is gone.
This is NOT for sale, but will be 100% free in each order until I run out. Every order that goes out will have a bottle of Bombies Banana Cream included with the order.
I can't thank Bombies enough for everything they have done for me and mostly for the vape community as a whole. Truly one of the greats.
But, what we are here today to do is find that one person out there that we want to give even MORE stuff to. Along with that magical Banana Cream, I will be sending a set of Gremlin Original Solos to play with.
Now first off, I know this person is not looking for one shots, but I won't hold that against them. Instead, I hope that they may find one they really enjoy and can work on developing their own version in their own way. DIY is meant to be fun and I enjoy knowing that my flavors are not only used as a solo, but also used as a flavoring too. Take Vanilla Overload... It is a great flavor, but it really shines when you start to add it to your own creations to bump the vanilla flavor up a notch.
OK, Sorry, I don't mean to make a sales pitch, honest. I just want to make sure they know that when they get these flavors, play with them! Use them alone or add them to something you've created.
As someone new to DIY, I think that they will enjoy these (Especially that bottle of Banana!!!)
So before you go to sleep from reading this wall of text, let me introduce you all to this weeks Free Friday recipient...
u/heretoomuch
You are going to have a box of flavors shipped to you just because I think you will enjoy them. I know you are just getting started on your DIY journey, and I want to make sure you have fun while doing it! :)
All I need for you to do is head over to GremberryFarms dot com and create an account so I know where to send your goodies. First thing Monday Morning when I get in I will get that in the mail to you.
Well, that's about it for today! Thank you all for your nice words and thoughts. I appreciate it more than you could ever know.
Your friend, Rich
My apologies, I had so much to write this week I completely forgot to say what this is all about for those that are seeing Free Friday for the first time.
Free Friday's started back in 2012 when I started Gremlin Juice. Every Friday I would give away free juice. Of course I haven't been able to give away juice as helping people quit smoking has pretty much become illegal, so I'm back, this time giving away the same flavors that I used to make juice with, but now they are flavor concentrates for home hobby use.
I look for someone that needs flavors, someone that deserves flavors, or someone that I just feel like giving flavors to.
This weeks winner may not NEED flavors, but as they are new to the DIY world, I thought I would send them some solos to help get them started and spark some ideas of their own to truly enjoy the world of DIY.
...And now you know. :)
Just want say thank you Rich! I lucked out and was one of the latest winners. It is much appreciated! Also, you can count on my business in the future. The fact that your here on Reddit and available to the consumers is a major player IMO and that's how business should be done. Thank again!
Congrats! This is my 1st time reading this thread. What an amazing idea :)
Great username! :)
"Fun Fact" - This all started in 2012 when I started vaping. I had a camera case that was full of 5ml to 10ml bottles of flavor and I would take to work and spend my lunches at my desk mixing flavors and creating. (I ran the print room so I was alone all day) I would give them away to the guys in the warehouse that vaped, but I made WAY more than I could give away there so every Friday I would give them away on Reddit to people that needed them.
That's the incredibly SHORT version of a very long story. LOL
Oh wow, that's an incredibly sweet thing to do and thanks! You are much braver than I am though because IMHO you started with the hardest part when it comes to vaping.
About 3 years ago I started vaping with a disposable e-cig and liked it so much I hit the internet to learn more about vape stuff and discovered that there were so many more options to vape with and an entire vaping community. Shortly after I bought my 1st vape pen and some juice, then my first mod, then transitioned from coil heads to rebuildables. Which led to learning how to make basic coils.
I shied away from mixing for the longest time because I'm not sure if I have been blessed with the extraordinary pallets you and many other advanced mixers have been and TBH, simply learning what I had so far about vaping and keeping track of it all was pushing the limits of the scientific/tech nerdy parts of my brain lol.
It's been a fun ride though and I hope for more fun for years to come. I have learned so much from this group by just reading through the posts here and all the kind people who answer questions for folks like me I feel that I owe someone tuition! And with all the negative in this world, it truly is a wonderful thing to see good people helping other good people like this :)
I actually have a question.. is there a list of flavors somewhere that would be ideal for getting started? I have a bunch of nicotine, but I don't even know what flavors to start with that will give me the most versatility to experiment with.
I checked out E-liquid recipes and you need all of these flavors from different vendors to make anything.
Start simple and don't get lost trying to buy them all. :)
This is actually a hard question to answer as MY favorites are probably not going to be YOUR favorites. If you are already exploring ELR then you are finding some recipes that sound good. Just get those flavors for those recipes.
Soon you will have a better idea of what flavors you like, and which ones you don't and the next thing you know you're going to start modifying THOSE recipes to make them exactly the way YOU like them.
And don't be afraid to ask questions. But do be prepared if you ask "What's the best strawberry flavor?" you are going to get every strawberry flavor from every brand out there. LOL You like everyone else will find "that one strawberry" that is for you.
"SALES PITCH WARNING": Gremlin has a LOT of "one shots" that I call Gremlin Solos. Maybe start with a few of those to get started. Keeping with the strawberry theme, try my Pixie Dust solo, and if you want more strawberry, add some. If you think it would be awesome with some Banana in it, add some. :) They are just flavors. Make them your own. But One Shots are a great way to find the flavor profile that you will love.
OK, Didn't mean for that to be such a lot of tying but it's a great question worth answering the best I can.
Does the brand of the flavor really matter that much?
EDIT: You took too long to answer so I just bought a bunch of stuff lol
Hey there. I thought I would send a quick note with dual purpose. Your package SHOULD have been shipped yesterday but I ran out of time and had to get everything else to the post office. To make up for it, the second reason for writing, I kind of over stuffed the package. You have a few extras in there. Just small bottles, but hopefully you will enjoy them. As well as the Bombies banana, I slipped in a TPA Strawberry Ripe and a few other Gremlin flavors. One of which, Very Cherry Vanilla as you had a couple cherry flavors in there. I only bring it up because it separates so shake it before use. 99% of the time I get everything out same of next day, but this week I was happily very busy with the weekend's orders. More than I have seen in a very long time.
Thank you for your order! ~ Rich
Wish I could order. Damn stimulus ain’t here yet.
Mine either 😭 might have to make a small order so I don't miss out tho. GL to you friend, fingers crossed for that $ for all of us still waiting! my mom & dad just got theirs a day or two ago
:) I'm not going anywhere. This started back in 2012 so it has stood the test of time. The free Banana Cream is limited, but he sent me a full gallon so it's going to take a few weeks to go through it all! :) The sad part of that is it is SO good, and when it runs out I don't think I'll be able to get any more.
Good luck on the Stim payments!! I hope they come in soon. (We're still waiting on ours too)
