Fed up of getting ripped off ? Wanted e juice in bulk !!

[ApOsTle51]

i reckon the generic e-liquid could come down in price by a third at least seeing what it sells for from central trade, and i bet it's all made in the same place much like our 901's.

I support this movement whole heartedly. Yes we are getting rippped off. there is 5 litres of PG on ebay right now for £35. This stuff is not difficult to make. I would like to see the price halving at least, however I fear the worst once the taxman gets hit paws on it.

Guys ...

You have to remember, lots of things go in to determining a price of a commodity.

Just an Idea of what Suppliers think about:
1. Demand
2. How easy is it to get
3. Tax/VAT
4. Shipping and Brokerage Fee's
5. Marketing/Testing fee's, etc...
6. Paypal/Credit Card/Merchant Account Fee's
7. In pillbox's case ... Rebottling/Labeling/boxing/etc...

Its not just as simple as finding a cheap wholesale liquid.

This stuff is not difficult to make.

You're right ... its not entirely difficult to make. DIY juices can be great! BUT, manufacturers deal with liquid nicotine ... something I don't suggest you go and play around lightly with ...

however it works out cash , you surely cannot justify £666 per litre ( $985 ).

It's just ridiculous.

edit : so when are we gonna ballot for a strike !!! bagsy for making the banner

+1 SANJP. Its about time someone said this.

And thats not true. The manufacturers do not have to deal straight with the liquid nicotine. I have spoken to them and they get a much less dangerous tobacco extracted nicotine liq that they work with.

as ml levels goes up, price comes down, it's the same with everything. Has that been taken into account? maybe it has, i haven't read the full thread

[e-pipeman]

Group buy anyone

You arrange it and I'm in.

[freddo]

If my first group order goes sucessflly i'll be up for another

Justification is in the eye of the buyer really If you get zero demand at lets say $985 per litre, than obviously, the supplier will need to drop pricing, plain and simple. That's where demands falls in to place. As long as there are buyers willing to pay that high of a premium for juice, it will continue to be sold as such! Branding also has its place in things ... Think Nike and Payless shoes ... Same applies!

I do hope you guys get what you wish for though. I'd rather have happy vaporers on my hands than unhappy anyday! LOL

Let us know how your group buy goes Freddo!

I agree with Steve. It's really not that simple. I'm glad our suppliers put so much effort into getting the juices available for us in our own countries. Do you remember when the only place we could find the stuff was at ecig.com?

Availability of products in this category is going way faster than people would have thought possible with any other old technology. One of the reasons is because many suppliers are like us, we need our fix.

I think our suppliers (by and large) have done a splendid job of getting this off the ground so quickly. I remember when I joined the forum back in June the only viable options was NJoy for people in the states.

Prices may come down as availability (ease of transit from overseas) or native country manufacture gets off the ground, but as it is, I'm quite fine with paying what the suppliers currently ask.

I'd say I go through a 10mL bottle each week. So that's like $10 from most places.

I was a pack a day smoker and cigarettes in NYC were around $10 when i stopped. So that's a savings to me.
