Are Premium Juice Vendors Taking Advantage of us?

Agree with all that. I can make a couple of really good DIYs, so I will never again *buy* a pre-made strawberry cream or coffee/cappucino vape, because what I make is better -- to me.
However I can't [yet] make a blueberry-pastry anything that even comes close to the yumminess of the Blueberry Muffin I get from sweet-vapes. Eventually I'll probably stumble on something I like just as well if not better than that one, and I won't need to buy it anymore either. Till then... $9.95+shipping a month isn't so bad.

If the vendors keep their con artist prices, if and when high taxes happen, I'll probably be damned back to cigarettes. Because we know these juice companies will not accommodate their massive markups to help ease the pain of the tax hikes. So hopefully vendors like ITC, Vape Wild and Mt Baker stay in business.
And I really don't understand your hostility. Is calling out the lack of industry integrity, somehow hurting you? Because it feels like I just called out Halo on an Xbox board.

My cousins fave:
Blueberry Extra TFA 7%
Vanilla Cup-Cake -FW 2%
cinnamon Danish Swirl 9%
Toasted Marshmellow - TFA 1 drop per 10ml
I liked Halo when I first started vaping but their juices promptly changed flavor on me. Belgian Cocoa starts tasting like a stale Tootsie Roll and Voodoo and Midnight Apple start tasting very chemical. But because of their $20 price, dark blue bottle and fancy graphic, it's precieved as premium.

Funny, do you know how much a pack of cigarettes costs to make?
It costs me less then so called premium juices will and the tobacco is far better then Marlboro.

no point in arguing, nothing will make this guy see someone elses point of view because he is just trying to force his point of view that our DIY liquids are bad.

Even at $12/bag you are getting ripped off. Tobacco is easy to grow...
k, pretty sure it takes time, water, sunlight to grow tobacco as well as other processes to dry and cut it. I can buy flavorings and nicotine on the internet and get it within a few days? and mix it in less than a minute? I dont see the point of you bringing up all these irrelevant comparisons to other thing.
Yep. And since the RYO companies weren't price gouging when they became taxed, they managed to still stay affordable. There are also pipe blends so cheap that you can roll five cartons for under $20.
RYO Tobacco is how I discovered vaping to begin with since my tobacco shop expanded into a vape shop.

Really? My stance is that commercial e-liquid isn't a ripoff and that many fool themselves into thinking what they make is better, because it is cheap...
Not to mention the cost of and the taxes of the giant farms they are grown on. It's kind of like how the vineyard cost is added to a bottle of wine.

So, I left work 45, minutes ago, I came home, ate dimmer, rewrapped one of my droppers, and made 3, 30ml bottles of liquid.
At some point i'll go to the shop and happily spend 22$ on a bottle of premium.
and I see there's an argument still brewing about our terrible free market system.

Yet the opposite is true because it seems to be human nature to base quality on cost.
You seem to have a stance on a lot of things though. If I remember correctly, you along with that guy Sub4me were defending the FDA Regulation which would cripple this industry in that giant thread a couple months back.

.25$ to make, 4.75$ to pack and ship, 1.23$ in taxes.... for a profit margin of 97%
Not really. I can easily tell the difference between a $.50 screwdriver and a $20 Wiha...
Wouldn't that would make you happy, since you are out to defend us poor souls who are getting ripped off?...
