Lol.
Jessica actually chipped in a while back in a thread about the disappointment with dragons rise.
She was honest about her financial involvement which she had zero need to be (I certainly wouldn't have it I where about to launch my own venture) and verified a few facts we where pretty sure of anyway.
She said she was starting her own business and we wished her well.
Obviously she saw myself and mrdj had a terrible experience with DR and offered to send some samples to try when she got started, I in turn said I'd prefer to pay for them.
Funny enough after being approached I've been a bit of an arse to Jessica.
I've said I had no intention of reviewing on here unless she supplied me with all the details of her production facilities. Then I requested photographic proof of the room plus all ppe and cleaning area's. I also requested her business and hygiene documentation which included her address and facilities address plus the local council office address and registration number to enable me to cross check.
See, I'm a suspicious arsehole and anyone who knows me knows I refuse to keep any items i get free for review. It gives me the freedom to say they're shite of they're shite.
I suspected that would be that but all praise to her, last week she spent the whole day supplying said arsehole with every bit of info I requested and more. Then went through her process to see if I had any issue's or input.
Fair play.
Then she said she was sending out some liquids. They arrived in 48hrs. Faster than any of my current weekly orders under the lockdown situation.
The liquids look good, clearly marked with batch number and best before date in quality bottles. Smell great and initial drip test is they are better than a number of high vg juice companies I buy from in the UK in both flavour profile/complexity and pure oomph.
So the long and short is that I am more than happy to recommend anyone place an order as I know more about her Company and juice than I do about any of the big US juice companies we take for granted seeing they all have moved to shortfill these day's.
I'm sticking an order in for some flavours more in my personal flavour profile (The marshmallow one in particular is interesting me) so they will be a part of the review too.
But I still reserve judgement on final flavours until they've had a week or so with the nic added. I will include pics in the review.
Pays yer money and takes yer chance.
