I hardly call that a ripoff. It was a first date and she was impressed...
glad she was impressed but I was talking about someone else....
wuzzup FB ??
Ehh, I'm holding it down, havemt been on eff much over the last few months. Logged on and saw the Same old argument going on.
Only now we have a savior who is here to fight for our rights of equal, fair priced liquid. - was that in mein kampf?
If you can purchase the ingredients and make it for less, you are getting bent over...
I don't DIY so 40 cents per mil doesn't seem prohibitive to me for a gourmet juice. A lot of the gourmet stuff sold locally is 22-25 bucks per 30 mils. That's $0.73-$0.83 per mil for stuff like Suicide Bunny, Cuttwood, 5 Pawns. Yeah it's a bit ridiculous, but a FAR cry from "Feather's" 100 mils for 40 bucks.

I've got almost an entire bottle of Voodoo. The only reason I bought it was because someone was in the shop that day blowing MASSIVE clouds, fogging the entire store, and I couldn't taste ANYTHING -- Voodoo, at least I could taste something, so I bought it. Got it home and tried it and YUCK! That is some nasty ejuice.
Got some of their Turkish when I first started -- it made me nauseous. Still got some Kringle's Curse that I got when I first started and it was one of the few I could actually taste, but it's just not sweet enough. It might make a good addition to my DIY chocolate cream.
I've tried all their tobaccos, back when I thought a tobacco vape was all I would ever want; I taste no tobacco flavor in any of theirs.

A few drops of flavor, a couple drops of nic in some PG and VG and good to go. Better than premium... 1 minute, tops...
Yes and No.
Yes as in that DIY is cheaper of course and other companies are offering juice for cheap in comparison. But what do you get? Sometimes with the cheaper juice companies you actually get decent juice that some even compare to the prem prices. Rare. but it has happened and I have an ADV that belongs in that category.
No because of this

I know many could careless because you don't vape the packaging but the packaging on Prem stuff is often fantastic and some of us not only like good flavor, good clouds, but we like branding and packaging. I am a sucker for it and that is going to cost the company and me and I generally don't mind at $20-22ml for something really delicious and beautiful to look at (Just ask a 5P nut) You can't forget that packaging mark up on well labeled and bottled juice while you vape from "fill in the blank" company's plastic bottle. I like collecting all the neat glass bottles and such that are well designed from all the different vendors.
I read a lot of their company stories and many started, just as many here, doing DIY and then it grew to friends and local shop and now here they are. It was liked and loved and then they put that same love into marketing and packaging and it costs. It wasn't like they cooked it up in their dirty basement while yelling to their mom, "yeah I'll be up in a minute!!!" and then slapped a $22 a ml price tag on it. Not all prem vendors are as good as others but there is no way you can blanket statement that THEY are trying to rip us off.
Just a different perspective I guess.

Sorry dude but if your vaping feather's feavenly you're not vaping a premium e juice..that stuff sucks.
Yet I hope you know a screwdriver doesn't have to cost $20 to be quality. Right? Back when I worked in a tool & die shop, people brought in expensive tools for the same reason teens wear Jordan's.
Seriously though. Your eLiquid is not worth the cost of a vintage Scotch like they are charging for it.

as mentioned before... you need to try to make a NET
2+ weeks minimum
I gotta stokholm shag and a pipe blend stepping...
Some premium e juice is worth the money...alot of them aren't they spend more time on labels and websites than they do on their juice....trial and error
I can name more than that....as far as price is concerned I'd rather pay a high price for something that is great, than pay a moderate price for crap.

Not a big fan of Halo. I have tried at least 5-6 of their juices and literally hated them all. Fortunately I got them from another member here and was not out a lot of money when I threw the bottles in the trash. It leaves me wondering if their flavors were developed for use with ego/tank set-ups as juice can taste radically different on higher powered devices in drippers and RTAs. I was dripping them and...blech...horrible. Maybe they taste better in an evod with an ego battery, but I'll never know.
