About this collection

This page lists only quotations that appear in published coverage. It does not paraphrase his views into new statements or attribute lines he has not said. If a quote about Vincent Ayar appears elsewhere without a source, treat it with caution.

"We source every single piece that goes into our products."

Topic: manufacturing and quality. The statement describes how Ooze approaches its hardware, choosing every component, the batteries included, rather than buying finished goods.

Why it matters: it explains how the company can offer the Ooze Warranty Program on its 510-thread batteries. A brand that knows what is inside its products can stand behind them. Source: The Weed Blog interview, September 13, 2019.

"I'd much rather spend millions down the road than mere thousands today."

Topic: money and growth. The quote refers to keeping Ooze's early profits inside the company to fund expansion, research and development, and marketing rather than taking them out.

Why it matters: it captures a long-horizon mindset. The company that started in 2,000 square feet occupied around 42,000 square feet by September 2019. Source: Vincent Ayar's 2019 press coverage.

"When you think 'ooze,' you think slime."

Topic: naming. Vincent offered this to explain the brand's name, since much of the early product was aimed at people who use concentrates, which are sticky, slime-like extracts.

Why it matters: it shows how intentionally the brand was positioned from the start. Source: Vincent Ayar's 2019 press coverage.

Statements he is described as making

Beyond direct quotation, coverage reports several views without quoting them word for word. Vincent has credited fellow partner Steve Hannawa with bringing e-cigarette technology to Michigan. He has said the company is proud of its hometown while building the brand for a national audience. He has also described the company's expansion as being about creating jobs.

What the three quotes have in common

Read together, the lines map onto three parts of running a brand: what goes into the product, how money is used, and how the company presents itself. None is a slogan; each is a practical explanation of a decision.
