Any brands that do pre-mixed concentrates?

If the ever-looming regulations ever actually take effect, juice vendors won't have a choice in the matter, and they will be relegated to selling nic free juices and flavorings.

Honestly, if a vendor does NOT sell concentrated flavorings at this point, they are already behind the times. There are enough DIYers who would be happy to buy premade flavorings that are no muss, no fuss. There will always be an eternal supply of vapers who just aren't comfortable or don't have the time to DIY, but the vendors who don't sell DIY flavor concentrates are only hurting themselves by cutting off an ever growing market segment. Considering how infinitely easier it is to mix up a batch of flavoring than it is to mix individual bottles of juice with different nic levels, pg/vg ratios, and even adding flavor shots, it would seem to be a no-brainer, at least to me. Then again, what do I know?

Don't disagree with this, and I hadn't thought about that as a way for these online juice vendors to exists after the hamma drops, assuming we can still get our hands on liquid nicotine. For me personally one of the biggest satisfactions in DIY is taking individual flavors and creating more complicated flavors. I don't even like to buy say strawberries and cream as a flavor, instead I get a bottle of strawberry and bottle of cream. I would be afraid of getting hooked on one of these vendor flavors and then they drop it on me and I am screwed. I have had pretty good luck recreating some of my favorite vendor juices using flavors that 'should' never go away.

Very interesting concept. I've ordered hardware from M&P, but I've stayed away from their concentrates because like their juice, the descriptions aren't very descriptive. Flavors like butter rum are obvious, but for others, it's too enigmatic. Here's the one for D-Lish:

"Just delicious!!!! This is a gotta try. You don't want to know the ingredients because it ruins how great it is! It isn't a tobacco, or too sweet or too sour."

I can't rationalize spending $8 on something that is unexplainable. Don't get me wrong. I'm very curious by the description but not rich enough to gamble. If they ever include a flavor profile, I'd definitely buy, but until then, it's TPA and others for me.

Unless...someone here wants to explain their concentrates in more detail.

I've never run a juice brand before & therefore don't have access to any financials, but I'm guessing many don't currently offer pre-mixed concentrates because it's probably way more profitable for them to hawk "flavored nic base" already-made juice..

It would also put the idea in consumers' heads, "Hey, wait a sec.. flavorings + nic base = juice.. I don't need these guys' products anymore, I can do this myself!"


I'm guessing most places will try to ride out the status quo for as long as possible, as long as it makes financial sense -- until they no longer can & be forced to adjust their biz model

And considering vaping is still fairly early on the "S" adoption curve, with a new crop of vapers coming online every day, I don't see tons of places offering this option anytime soon...


Kudos to the places who currently do, however...
