E-juice prices

[levsweld]

Hey all. So Im a steady customer with healthcabin.. always have been from the start, I like the prices, flavors, you name it. I was looking at prices at some certain sites, $8.50 for a 15ml when a 10ml bottle at Healthcabin is $3.50. Does the price vary because of..... quality? I enjoy my healthcabin experience always, but have never ordered anything from anywhere else. Does anyone suggest I try other places for juice? The price and flavor balance out so well, that I do not feel the urge to switch, but I'd like some input from people who have ordered from Healthcabin and other places
Thanks

There are places like madvapes which is near enough chinese prices, but the flavors are really hit or miss you gotta experiment with a few samplers first, they do sell 50ml chinese Dekang juices for about 11 bux aswell.

Mass produced Chinese product vs. US made artisanal juice. Of course, not all juice is the quality I am talking about, but you need to study the liquid reviews and place orders from four places you never tried before and let your tastes tell you what you want in your atty.

Alright, I'll look around. Thanks!

+1 about the mad vapes china juices, they also have top USA which sucks to me. Everyone's palette is different. I quite like some of the cheap dekang juices, but I also like many of the local expensive ones. I also like buying TV doublers and adding my own nic, it cuts the flavor a little but 120ml for $15 then 30ml of 100mg for $5(thank you gourmetvapor 50% off lol) for 150ml for $20 or 30ml for $4. Even buying the 60ml doublers it's only $5 for 30ml. Cutting something like AC or TastyFinger still results in a quite strong mix. Also DIY can be very cheap. I LOVE lorann's apple compared to pre-mixed apples. 30ml apple flavor is $5.50 direct from Lorann's, 30ml of 100mg VG nic juice for $10(what you should pay normally), and $0.65 for 60ml PG($5 for 16oz) and you now have 120ml of fantastic fresh 25mg apple for about $15($1.25 for 10ml). If you get bored with 1 big batch of flavor, I also ordered 36 1 dram Lorann's flavors for $40 shipped from fleabay and I got to pick which flavors I wanted, each bottle is about 4ml(3.7), mixing 25% a bottle will yield 15ml of final juice, but varies depending how strong you want and what flavor it is. 25% cinnamon is SCARY.

I like Health Cabin too. They have a Camel flavor that I love! (Doesn't taste like Camel, but I like it. LOL)

I'm sampling everybody now though. I want to know who has what. That way, I can get something quicker if I want. Also, if something ever happens with a company, I'll know ahead of time who I can switch to. Just added MadVapes and Gourmet Vapor to my sample list this weekend, we'll see what they're like. MadVapes shipped this morning, Gourmet is still out . . . that's to be expected with a huge sale.

I kind of am looking at it like food. I stock up my fridge so I won't go hungry, but sometimes I want take-out.

hmm. I've never even thought about DIY mixes..! seems all so complicated haha, I am all into chemistry and what not, its part of my expertise as I work towards being a pharmacist, so I should be all over DIY's lol

DIY is good and bad, when you make a great juice you can pat yourself on the back, when you make a crap juice you can only blame yourself lol. It's cheap enough to make a mistake here and there though.

This is how I started.

Read this thread and the ratings of lorann's oils and which work http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/74109-guide-diy-flavoring.html

Went to fleabay and picked up 36 1 dram bottles LorAnn Hard Candy Flavoring Oil 36 Ct Assorted Bottles - eBay (item 110537268027 end time Nov-19-10 18:08:27 PST)

bought some VG and PG from here Propylene Glycol USP Glycerin, Vegetable USP

and bought some 100mg juice from a co-op for about $10 for 30ml, but just picked up 500ml from Gourmet Vapor E-Cigarettes and E-Liquids because they had a 50% off coupon, but even the normal price is pretty good. This place has pretty good 100mg and recommended often on this site 100MG/ML Nic Liquid

then picked up some empty bottles and 3ml and 10ml syringes on ebay, then commenced to playing

and ended up with a mess

Or, in my case, you can kick yourself for not writing down the formula!
