Fed up of getting ripped off ? Wanted e juice in bulk !! - E-Cigarette Forum

SANJP · 11-20-2008, 04:16 PM

DON'T KNOW IF ITS JUST ME OR ARE WE GETTING RIPPED OFF ON JUICE OR WHAT ?

I mean close to £20 PER 20ML with postage thats nearly as much as my

DSE901 STARTER KIT ITSELF !!

thats like buying a car for £10,000 and it costing you £7,000 to fill up the gas tank !

I cant be the only one thinking about it !
and need your help and views people.

I NEED TO ORDER IT BY THE 100ml or LITRE

AND IM SURE MOST OF YOU REGULAR VAPERS LIKE ME WOULD TOO

HOW ABOUT £25 for 100ml and £100 a LITRE?

NOW THATS WHAT IT SHOULD BE

COME ON SUPPLIERS !

HOW ABOUT IT !

SANJP, what are taxes/etc... like in the UK/EU world? Tobacco tax hasn't hit the USA ecig world yet, so we really just have our local state tax. Here in CA, its 8.25%. I also hear, taxes on getting imports is much much higher there than in the US too.

So, both those factors could come in to play with the pricing of the liquid. Just a thought

I thought I read something that there is a shelf life on e juice? Is there a limit to the amount of time it can sit around?

Rule of Thumb is 12 months

MagusSteele · 11-20-2008, 04:40 PM

Far as I know its shelf life is 1 year +, if stored right (out of direct sun light, cool dry place, so on)
I have seen large quantities available, but from manufactures/suppliers and you need a minimum order of a few hundred dollars.
If i get a $20 30ml it will last almost a month, not sure why you would need a liter of the stuff.

SANJP · 11-20-2008, 04:48 PM

Shelf Life is just a selling technique they have to store it too dont they ?

I cant believe they throw gallons of the stuff away at the end of the year !

and as for 20ml a month no way I only vape a few hours in a day and have gone through 3

20ml bottles in the last 2 weeks so yes I do need a 100ml and $30 Dollars or £20 is a

total rip off for 20ml of the stuff which is in most cases 65% PG

dc2k08 · 11-20-2008, 04:52 PM

the US prices do seem to be cheaper. could be that as the arse fell out of the pound recently this is also a factor.

SANJP · 11-20-2008, 05:59 PM

there not much in it but the main point here is even £15 or $20 for a pathetic 20ml is a Rip Off.

ps: love that Phillip Morris smoking device video from 1997 on ecignews.com lol

yup , e-liquid is FAR to expensive for what it is.

I feel some sellers are feeding of our addiction and some are no better than back street crack dealers or big tobacco in that light. The Factory makes it for pennies so some-one along the line is marking up prices to a ridiculous level , it may not be the people we buy it from but probably their middle-man.

But if you want it , you gotta get it somewhere

Papa Lazarou · 11-20-2008, 06:11 PM

I was looking at the Central Trade site. $92 US, or about £60 for 1.2kg of e-liquid in a plain bottle (what's that going to be, a litre?) seems a good deal. Obviously, thats sat in China and will be substantially more once you've paid for shipping and tax. But at an average £20 for 30ml thats what, £666 per litre? Appreciate that having it in little individual dropper bottles and the R&D adds a lot to the cost. But still, it suggests there will be some room for manoeuvre on price. Group buy anyone
