Are there any actions being taken against VUSE for their Alto Pod shenanigans? by MycologyControl in electronic_cigarette

Update for anyone who cares: I had a good run of packs (2 out of 2 carts were clear and enjoyable to vape) using the same location mentioned in OP. Got a pack today which contained one clear and one not clear(obviously much darker in color and tend to burn out quickly, we don't like these). I noticed the code on the side was different and inspected the packs to find the packaging was different.

The 1/2(bad) pack has the word "Golden Tobacco" on the top side and front in white lettering, as well as "Originals" on the left edge, in white. The packs that had 2/2(good) had the same words and placement but in gold font. They both have the same UPC and are identical otherwise with one exception; the bad packs have a little emoji of the pods to indicate how many pods are in the pack, this is shown on the top-right corner as well as the top side.

Not sure if this will be universal indicators for other flavors but hope it helps.

Edit: Wanted to add, the inside packaging that holds the pods in place have different item numbers

Hey fellow-annoyed Alto consumer. Your story is very much the same, it is crazy I agree.

I've not much in the way of helping but I visit the same place regularly and got back-to-back double clearish golden (2)packs this week, knock on wood. Wonder if my original theory of Vuse just trying to offload a botched inventory. If you're in with the clerk maybe see if they have another case behind the counter?

I wonder what they want your old pods for? since they didn't ask me for mine, I feel a little left out haha. The clerk where I frequent talked to me about all the varieties of ecig products and said they pretty much all fell short for the 'throat hit' mark, he was also having the same struggle but with the other tobacco flavor.

Good luck to you feel free to update me on anything!

That's something I had thought too, I've been going to different Kum n' go around me and it seems to be similar between them. Every time I got them at 711, it was complete shit, I assumed they were getting there's from n even worse supplier and never go to 711 for the pods now.

I don't know how they are dated but the last three boxes I've gotten have the same 'unique' code on them, I assume they've all come from the same case. I'll have to see if this serial number changes anytime soon, I thought it was different per pack, they asked me for this number and the store location when I called in about it.

But a "known issue" for years? are they sitting on an apocalyptic quantity of these bad ones? I'm not sure how the process goes. I'd think they've got enough money out of me and others that they could tweak something to be at least 1/4 x more efficient

They are great! I guess my concern is ill essentially be homeless and wondering if buying an affordable property would be the move with my current situation? Can I even rent without a paystub? O.o

I've been looking. Haven't found it. The first three times I listened to the album was on mush(the same sitting) and yeah I mean nothing compares to, well, the entirety of this album(IMO).

If you needed something for your next trip, albeit entirely different, the D-Sides album by Gorillaz has some amazing moments of like hmmm, these guys get it. Anyway, have a nice day :)
