I am a bit confused you mean a box would be shipped around to everyone hahah with like 100lbs of weird stuff or would we make a pic gallery of everything in it and then choose?

I think it will be a physical box and hopefully people will take stuff out as well as put stuff in. So it should not get that big.

Once I ship the box out, unless something happens and we need someone to fill it I don't think I'll see it again. Get the box, take what you want, put in what you want, and ship it out. Some people will likely take more than others, which is sort of the point of this. It seems like we have a mixed bag of people on the thread. New vapers who could use some new things to stock up and some vets who could always go for some new juice and dump unused stuff.

I don't see it getting too big. Kind of like the give a penny, take a penny jar at your local 7-11. People can post how much it cost them to ship and you can always decide if you don't want in. Even if it cost you 10 bucks, if you got a couple bottles of juice and got rid of unneeded stuff you're no worse for ware.

I am in I have so much stuff to put in man it some good stuff I am willing to give away I am in for sure this will be interesting ôô

So tomorrow I will probably have the launch thread up. Just want some last minute thoughts.

1) Order of boxes. Do you guys want to try and keep it geographical, go in order of people saying they were in, or completely randomize it? Cost may rise with option 2 and 3, however people can switch to a flat rate priority box on USPS and make it not matter. Personally I'm thinking a random generation would be the most fair since this was just a feeler. I'll leave it to you guys.

2) Do you want me to start it right off the bat with a USPS flat rate box? I believe the 2nd size box is around $10 to ship, but as long as its under 75lbs and fits in the box, it fits.

3) I'll be tagging everyone who said they wanted in from this thread in the main thread, but lets keep that one somewhat clean. Box status, pics, etc. This can stay the chatter thread.

4) I'm ok with promo stuff getting tossed in the box, as long as you guys are. Keep it to stickers, cards, things that won't take up much space.

5) Make sure you guys have ziploc baggies or something. 1 spilled bottle of juice can kind of stink. Don't be that guy (or gal).

That's mainly it. The big thing is #1 and the order of the box. I'm really leaning towards randomizing the list unless you guys are against it.

VapingJunkie · Jul 15, 2014

I'm fine with random. Hopefully I go after someone who puts a mod in, and before someone who needs juice.

1) I'm okay with whatever, random, geographic, or in order of response to thread.

2) May as well, that's the best/most economical way

Jcc2k · Jul 15, 2014

Count me in. I have a bunch of goodies to throw in there.

CurlyxCracker · Jul 15, 2014

I still am liking random. That said, I don't see a reason to start it that way until it's cost effective to ship it flat rate..

ceejkay · Jul 15, 2014

random and flat rate box would be a good start.

sac · Jul 15, 2014

Random sounds fine

VapedCrusader · Jul 15, 2014

Agree with random. Gots to go clean out a bunch of my old stuff again and make it look all pretty

Aga-T2 / couple iclear 30-S / protanks / carto tanks will be my first set of offerings

bigbadthor · Jul 15, 2014

Random addresses are fine with me. Is a list going to be included in the box of where it is going next or is the list going to be in the new forum post?

VapingCrazy · Jul 15, 2014

I'm fine with random to! I also agree that starting out we should just ship what it costs, until it does go up to when we need the $5 or $10 flat rate box. Why pay more than you need to?

Scuba-Matt · Jul 15, 2014

Great idea. Put me on the list, I have a bunch of goodies for the box.

Iriesan · Jul 15, 2014

Random sounds good

GargoyleK1 · Jul 15, 2014

Im fine with whatever…

EthelMaltol · Jul 15, 2014

Is it too late to get in? I'm in Mass and I have a ton of stuff I would love to be able to swap around! Great idea! I know they do this elsewhere and the originator gets the box back about every fifth time. They check it out and add more stuff! Thanks for doing this. Since there is so much interest, I would love to see two boxes going around.

Mommay · Jul 15, 2014

I think random is great - let's put a sheet of paper in the box & peeps can sign with their location - easy to see where it's been & might make for some interesting notes

Let's see how box 1 starts off and then a second could work. I'm not against the idea of getting it back. Let's see how it flows. If it gets big fast I can always snag and split it.

However you want to run it is fine with me.

xanadu0324 · Jul 16, 2014

Love this idea! Would much rather throw all my pif stuff into 1 box than to pay shipping on 15 different people wanting my this or that.

VapingJunkie · Jul 16, 2014

What are our thoughts on my tossing in a bunch of bags of pre-boiled Rayon? I bought a 500ft box, and will never use it all, unless I give some away! I can sanitize sections of 5-10ft, then bag those, then put all those bags into one big bag, which still won't take up very much space or weight in our box. I know some people want to try it, but don't want to commit to something they may not like.

That would be a nice way for people to try out rayon for free.

That's an awesome thing to toss in the PIF box!

Stay tuned, box order and launch post is coming in a little bit. Hopefully the box will go out tomorrow!

Pancho_Brown · Jul 16, 2014

Woo. I'm getting excited for this box to come around.

Dhim · Jul 16, 2014

The thread is up! I should have everything boxed up tonight and out in the mail tomorrow. Remember keep that thread clean and lets use this for some chatter.

bgaulding · Jul 16, 2014

This is going to be fun.

flowerpots · Jul 16, 2014

I have a question I should have asked before...

Can we include DIY items for those that DIY, like empty bottles, funnels, flavorings, etc?

Dhim · Jul 16, 2014

Absolutely. In fact empty bottles are awesome to toss in there. People can then take the bottles to take some of the liquid from another bottle or for whatever they want. But yeah all that stuff is perfect.

Schweet! I'll add some in then. And I promise not to add one of my mediocre concoctions!

So when it gets close to my name do I just contact the next person on the list for their address? It makes sense to me but I want to be sure.

Pancho_Brown · Jul 16, 2014

Damn i made it 31st on the list and i thought i had made replied in the 1st 20...

Oh well that means ill get a chance so get it the box after its been steeped for a few months and ripe for the picking

I went with random to give everyone on the thread a shot. Remember there will be a 2nd box if this one starts rolling nicely so you might not be waiting that long

WOOT! I got number 5! That means plenty of people will get to taste my juice!

Mistywjd · Jul 16, 2014

Just a thought but if you do end up starting a second box, maybe we could start at the bottom of this list and work your way back up, kinda like a snake style fantasy football draft Although I'm #26 so either way I'm smack dab in the middle of either end so it wouldn't make much difference… just a random thought. Anyways, I'm stoked to see this get started!!!

GargoyleK1 · Jul 16, 2014

if its going to be random what difference would your number make?

Confused a lil…

The initial numbers were randomized already. It was a one time randomization. Not random after each person. I created the main thread with the order from random.org.

I'm down there with you! Hopefully you or someone after can use something I have. I'd hate to see things make a "round trip".
Which brings up the question, what happens when we get to 45, if no one new wants to join? Back to the top?

OBDave · Jul 17, 2014

Been meaning to post "Awesome idea, guy!" for a while now, but for some reason tapatalk won't let me log in and I've only been checking the forum from my phone. Too late to get in? I've got a mech or two, some RBAs, and plenty of juice I'd be down to toss in...

That means you have access to the best selection of juices!

Well I'm still waiting to hear back from #1 on the list. So if #2 sees this, PM me (on mobile so not sure who that is). I have to get it out tomorrow or I won't be able to until Monday. So maybe swap 1 and 2 around if needed. However prior to bagging and wrapping here's a little sneak of the PIF box contents. There some more 3d printed stuff finishing up that will go in there, but you get the idea. I hope you guys really enjoy this little experiment. Thanks again Apocalypse Juice for tossing those 2 big bottles in there.

This is not the actual box. The actual shipped box will be a bit deeper to account for larger / more items. I'm also going to be stuffing it to the top with bubble wrap, so if you guys have mods or attys that you don't want to get clunked around use it. It weighs nothing, so yeah.
