I wanted to pop in this morning to say thank you for all the nice comments. I have worked very hard over the years to make this YOUR company. I can't afford to carry every brand and every flavor any longer and still keep the doors open, but I will always do my best to carry your favorites if you let me know what they are (and I can order them easily enough).
I would like to remind everyone as well that there IS a coupon code, and that is simply "gremlin". If it is a holiday and I'm having a sale, the code will be "gremlin". It will change as needed so you will always have the best deal available. Even if you are reading this 6 months or a year from now the coupon code is "gremlin" LOL
And I really do read each and every comment (and bad joke) that you include. :)
Thank you all ~ Rich
Gremlin was the very first site I ever ordered flavors from, and I’ve continued to order from them for the last 5 years. Their prices have always been good, package is out the door quickly, and I’ve never had a single problem with any order I’ve placed! Like others, I got a freebie or two with every order and it was very much appreciated. I got to try flavors I wouldn’t have thought to try otherwise. The owner seems like a genuinely great guy! I would definitely recommend this company.
I can only speak about their "solos", or what most call one-shots. I have tried 5 so far, all solid! Just received 3 today that I haven't mixed yet.
Coming up on 6 years of DIY, it ain't been fun for a long time. More like another chore. With over 400 flavors in my stash I thought "why buy one shots". I decided to pick up a few Gremlin's because Of his recent revival of Free Fridays. I wanted to support that idea. Glad I did. So convenient to mix now.
Prices: On par
Selection: It's hard to anticipate what will be the "flavor of the month", but he seems to have most of the staple flavors.
Shipping Time: 10/10
No order problems
Packaging: Bagged and cushioned adequately.
Bottom line: A pleasure doing business with Gremberry, good folks!
I've recently been learning DIY a bit more usually a single flavor. What can you tell me about the solo mixes and is there something different about them etc.
Also is there a tried and true one I should try?
One shots, or "Solo's" as Rich calls his, are a concentrated flavor base. You add X % to your PG/VG/Nic. His Solos are his OG line of juices, ready for DIY. 5-10% is a good place to start.
If you like custards, I recommend his Vanilla Custard. 10% is very full flavored, 4-5% is my tastes. Berry Overload @5% is a nice fruity flavor, heavy on raspberry. Red White and Blue @10% is a nice fruity. I haven't mixed B'fast Blend or Imp Dust yet, but they smell amazing.
Super positive experiences with Gremberryfarms here.
Large selection from lots of manufacturers.
Always same or next day ship out, depending on what time of day I place my order.
Everything is always in a little zippy bag and either bubble wrapped or stuffed well with brown paper.
Regular discounts and sales are awesome.
Prices are near unbeatable.
I always receive a free bonus sample with every order, too.
Always get a little handwritten note on my invoice saying "thank you".
A military discount would be great, though.
Had one hiccup where a concentrate was left out of my order. Contacted them and they shipped it out the same day!
I have pretty much only ordered from gremlinDIY/gremberry since starting DIY, apart from flavors i couldn't find in their store. They've always been on time and packaged nicely. Prices are in line with most other vendors and selection has consistently been improving. sales are great and orders generally ship within 24 hours, often much sooner.
The one time i had an issue i sent pictures of the bottle (slashed across the top, rip golden pineapple) and explained what was going on and had a replacement on the way same day.
I always liked to leave shitty jokes in the comments section and often got a joke in return in the packaging. It helped make the purchase to feel a bit more personal, and probably helped them deal with the monotony of filling orders.
I also ordered the last of Capella French Toast and received literally their entire leftover supply - more than i ordered.. and to this day more than i know what to do with....
I'll always push gremlin for people who want to buy flavorings because of how decent it felt to shop with them.
Absolute killer dude. His one shots are seriously some of my favorite flavors. Melon Balls and Purple Gremlin are seriously so killer. His flavors are good enough that I'm working through them all.
I’ve only placed one order with them (although plan on more!) during the Bombies CAP Banana Cream giveaway, I thought the prices were amazing & the selection was great, the cool thing is they also now sell supplies to make homemade candy so I’ve been pondering going down that route and using up all my “unvapeable” flavors. As for shipping it only took 1 business day to ship out! Shipping/packaging was great, all 3 bottles in ziplocks and bubble wrap from my memory. I don’t have much on the customer service side other than I had picked up one of their one shots to try (Banana Cream Pie) and hit Gremlin up on discord for info about starting %’s, only was about 10 minutes before I got a helpful and happy response back, so all in all I think this vendor has made it onto my favorable list. The one shot was very yummy incase anyone was wondering :)
Had heard a lot of great reviews about Gremlin (Gremberry Farms) and decided to give them a try. And was not disappointed. Had ordered a good bit of their one shots, (flavors) an when I received, noticed that they had threw in extra. Their flavors and one shots are exceptional, their service is on point, packaging as well as shipping is great, not to mention the invoice had a personal thank you message, I appreciate the fact that they took the time to do that, very personable. I would highly recommend, as well as purchase from them again.
Can you recommend some flavors from them? I recently got started doing single flavors mixes and am looking to go with the next step.
Sure! Their Vanilla Overload is great, also Vanilla Custard, Pixie Dust- which is a strawberry vanilla, Imp Dust- Blackberry Custard. They are described as solos. I decided to order as many as I could try, an you can't go wrong with. Especially if your just starting out as it makes it way easier. :) Edit: Also I find if you start out at a lower percentage like 4.5 % you can always add to your tastes.
most used supplier since they are one state away.
no problems with orders
orders packed well, ziplocked and bubble wrapped
orders processed and shipped faster than some of my amazon prime orders
freebie one shot mixes on past couple of orders that where similar in flavor profile to the flavors i ordered.
carries my most used flavors
regular sales
handwritten thank you
I've only tried one flavor from Gremlin, Very Cherry Vanilla. Mixed it at 5% with .5% Cap Super Sweet. As with every other cherry out there super chemical taste off the shake, now waiting for it to steep. I'm going to give it a solid 30 days before I try it again.
