SPOILER ALERT!!!
This post contains heavy sarcasm.  If you don't know the definition of that word, please Google it.  If you still don't understand the definition after that, please don't read this post...... you won't like it.   Sensayuma required from this point on.  You have been warned!!!

I think Stevie really nailed it here (as always mate!).   Uh-oh... better not read the rest of this post Stevie.... I'm going to....  *gasp*.... agree with you! Shocked  (be afraid mate, be very afraid,  Huh lol. Roll Eyes).  An-ye-way.  You don't like the yo-yo, then don't bother with it.  Just jump in, throw what you want in the basket, checkout, and be done with it and be gone with your bad self.  And whatever and whenever you buy, you'll be saving money  (BOY!  Now that I think about it, that does suck doesn't it! Roll Eyes).  In past yo-yos I'll admit I lost a lot of time (hours... um, days maybe?) waiting for "just the right price" before I checked out (and having a spot of fun in the bargain).  With the new automated system, I got the major items I was looking to buy at 40-59% off, and a few bits and bobs that I threw in the cart at the last minute at 15-48% off.  And I didn't spend that much time doing it.  Yes, it's a bit buggy, and I hope they work on that before the next one.... but even with that, I had some fun and saved huge!  Sorry, but I think if you don't like the yo-yo, and you don't even want to just jump in and buy without paying any attention to the savings (and still bag some nice discounts) then I think you should plan ahead when you know one's comming... buy enough kit at full price to hold you over during the yo-yo, and when it's over you can restock at full price again..... and whatever you do, don't check face book or twitter for the daily discount codes there, because you'll hate that too (and this comment was NOT directed at anyone in particular.... but even so, I look forward to your nasty replies). Tongue

I've read posts where people said they would prefer a flat discount (and if you ordered in December, you received a card with discount code, and you now have all of January to use it to get a flat discount).  Not me, I'd never have bought half the stuff I did at 20% or 25%.... things like attys or nic base, or flavors that I didn't really need (and thus would not have bought at a lesser discount).  I've also read posts from people saying that Jason should just lower prices across the board (which he has done a bit of) instead of running the yo-yo sales.  Well, again, I'd not have bought as much, and not have saved as much.  I see the yo-yo sales as a means for Jason to get rid of some of the slower moving stock, or clear out and make room for new merchandise that he knows is on the way.... and a chance for us to save big and stock up on the items we know we're eventually going to need/use.... and maybe to save enough to entice us to try something we might not have otherwise done (that's how I got my Wicked Stick) or get some gifts at a tremendous discount for our loved ones during the Holidays.  Ok, I'm going to step down from this soap-box now and go stand if front of the wall.  I'll take a pass on that "last cigarette" thing, but I wouldn't mind a final vape (PR Rootbeer if you don't mind).  Now...... READY...... AIM........FI  


Well put!!!

I liked the original YoYo better... was more exciting and better discounts if you hung on ..... this years YoYo just put me off. Every time I looked the discounts were only so so in comparison. The timer bit just agitated me..... Reminded me of the Asian market woman yelling in my ear... you buy!!!! you buy now!!!! Why you come here if you no buy?  Roll Eyes

Didn't see any percentages that made me want to hit the checkout button.

Waited for the flat 20% ... To me was a better deal then the YoYo without wasting all my time stalking the site.


Still haven't gotten my Clear"O"s yet ..... Hundreds in stock in the UK site .... still nothing at the US site.   Sad

There was a good one in November, I think it lasted about 3 days.

Then there was the 21 days of December (before Christmas).   The prices on the kits were not near as cheap as you could get them in the November yo-yo.    I've only been vapin since October, so that's all I know.

It's definitely different and interesting and I think it adds a new aspect to sales in general. It adds that fun and "risk-factor" into shopping for things that we are going to buy anyway and if I can save a couple bucks (or a nice chunk of change) I am fine with it. I actually placed an order for e liquid today that was down to $38 (regularly $58) which I would have bought anyway so the $20 bucks saved could be spent else where on the site to further more enhance the vaping experience! Also I think it will let people try things that they normally would not have being that the prices can drop so significantly. It would be cool though if they kept items up for only 3 or so days rather than a week, changing up the deals giving people more options is never a bad thing. Smiley

Keep up the innovation TW!

The "all out" yo-yo sales they have a few times a year are great.   All products are on the yo-yo sale.   During my first purchase, I thought I was going to have a stroke.   Once I found one thing that had a great discount and placed in my basket, I was frantic to try and get the best deal on a couple others before the 30 minutes timed out for me to check out (so as to just pay one shipping charge).   Needless to say, I think I placed 5 orders during the three-day sale!

And I love the people bashing it and expect them to "wait around" but where else has any weekly actually DAILY sales that can hit that low of discounts, and if you're sitting here posting on a forum, you more than likely have time to sit down and watch the yoyo at the same time. Ive seen plenty of deals drop down to 40% off twice within the hour, no need to be so negative about such a cool idea. IMHO.
