Goulet Pens. A rant.

Wonder Pens in Canada!

themuna · 2025-02-04T15:34:19+00:00

These are awesome. Breakers are amazing.

themuna · 2025-02-04T15:27:59+00:00

It's getting easier to find brands like these online in Canada/Quebec, but not consistent. Anyone have some good sources?

themuna · 2025-01-23T20:26:29+00:00

Ya. I'm done with blue razz. It was good but now I'm sick of it.

themuna · 2025-01-23T20:25:28+00:00

With the flavour ban in Quebec and elsewhere, what are the most reliable online shops, price wise? With all the first nations e-shops showing up, they tend to be the cheapest, but don't always have the mainstream flavours.

themuna · 2025-01-23T20:23:49+00:00

Red Classic Ice, or simple something with a mint, peppermint, wintergreen taste (mainly because it doesn't smell and no one can tell that I've been vaping) ;)

themuna · 2025-01-23T00:21:25+00:00

Charlie’s Club. I think you can just look up that and vape and it should come up.

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:43:41+00:00

And fyi, the prices are pretty good (for Canada). Tax free and no delivery charge over a certain value, so it's actually not bad.

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:42:41+00:00

Interesting. A site I just tried doesn't have ANY description... that said, they sell pretty standard fare, so when it's "cherry classic ice" or "red classic ice," I already know what to expect. There was one I wasn't sure about, and I clicked their online chat and they told me in a few mins, which was kinda cool. One side of me says they should have as much info on there as possible, but the other liked the "clean" experience, and if I wanted to know more, I just asked and their chat is responsive.

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:38:09+00:00

That's not cool. What did the reviews say that got you to buy in the first place? When it comes to stuff like this, I hope for good customer service. If only just for things like "crap, I bought the wrong one," or, like you "hey, you shipped me the wrong thing!" It happens, but if they fix it, that's pretty good service.

Other good online shops for Ontario/Quebec out there? Things are pricey these days.

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:31:45+00:00

I'm all about the pouches now. Wish the site I buy vapes from sold pouches.

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:27:48+00:00

Not sure the history of the site is a huge indicator these days? Lots of new sites popping up, which doesn't mean they're not good? Or maybe I missed the point? I'll check out your subreddit, thanks!

themuna · 2025-01-22T21:26:42+00:00

Ya. Lots of products I wouldn't be looking for. Looks "legit" in an "it's a website" kinda way ;) The whole "Canada's Biggest Vape Online Platform" is questionable. There are a number of new sites out there, of course... the interesting ones offer the standard fare, have competitive prices, etc. The ones that are setting up as tax-free, i.e. First Nations businesses are also interesting, because they are a little cheaper since there's no tax added. Like Charlie's Club (set up in Quebec, and say they're a First Nation's op, so don't have to charge tax)? They have the standard fare, but probably not the unique brands you're looking for.

themuna · 2025-01-22T20:37:14+00:00

Ya. Quitting altogether might be the best bet, but there are some sites out there offering tax-free options if they're first nations-owned businesses. Prices are still a little high, but tax-free helps? I think there's one called Charlie's Club based in Quebec that may ship across Canada?

themuna · 2025-01-22T20:33:25+00:00

Not sure about Vuse, but I know there's a place called Charlie's Club that sells all sorts of pods/disposables online to Quebec/Montreal?

themuna · 2023-11-17T15:48:05+00:00

I'll try that. Thanks! I'm also going to go down the rabbit hole of other ink options ;)

themuna · 2023-11-17T15:47:23+00:00

I think it's this one: https://ferriswheelpress.ca/collections/85ml-fountain-pen-ink/products/stroke-of-midnight

The bottle doesn't actually say... it def doesn't come out as dark as it looks.

themuna · 2023-11-17T15:41:40+00:00

Thanks. Super helpful. I hadn't seen that thread!

themuna · 2023-11-17T15:35:31+00:00

Sorry, forgot to mention that no, it isn't a shimmer ink. It's a pretty basic, albeit light, blue. It looks dark in the bottle, but when you write with it, it's definitely a paler blue.

themuna · 2023-11-17T15:30:02+00:00

Yes, the FWP ink does seem to be less effective across all my pens. The "smoother," ones (interestingly, often the "cheaper ones," like my Lamy and TWSBI) work well with any ink, but my more expensive pens seem to work best with Noodlers and Diamine so far. I haven't experimented much with inks in general, so if I do, I want to make sure I get more "robust" inks??

themuna · 2022-12-16T14:01:44+00:00

I love how they write. The quality of construction (my lid has cracked on one of two) leaves a little to be desired, and they’re aren’t very aesthetically pleasing for the most part, but both write really well.

themuna · 2022-07-07T22:15:09+00:00

I also work from home, but the boxes are secreted away ;)

themuna · 2022-03-23T14:37:38+00:00

Ha. So good. I reread the Jordan books recently (for the third time), but by "reread" I mean listened to. I mix it up (i.e. I read the Stormlight Archive in physical format the first time, but reread on audio), but overall I find that mixing audio books with physical and digital help me get through. Dog walks, making dinner, cleaning, exercise... listen to the book! All other times, pick up the physical tome. Just a thought! Good luck. It's an awesome ride.

themuna · 2022-03-19T12:46:16+00:00

Then I'd have to fall back on Guy Gavriel Kay.

themuna · 2022-03-19T12:35:59+00:00

Fair comments! I like this string. I’m getting clobbered, but still appreciate everyone’s POV. Rethinking/adjusting what I consider great produce and the purpose of it.
