Okay, so ironically a pack of Dunhills (or any other brand) in south Korea is only 2 dollars, 20 cents!

So you might think they'd need to keep the e-juice prices low....

1st store where I bought my 1st pv I got a 20ml Janty Oriental which cost the eqvt of 34 USD!!!

A 10ml of menthol at a different store was $12.50!

So today on the bus into town I saw a DEKANG store! Just a 5 minute walk from my apartment!

Imagine my excitement! A fabulous array of flavours to sample and taste! No internet ordering becuase surely DEKANG are cheaper than the stores I quoted above right?

So when I got home I jumped off the buss and eagerly, almost running - lol - made a beeline for the DEKANG store!

for 10ml of any juice they want........

$17!!!!!!!

Holy smokes Batman!

Methinks I will be using the internet! Greenhouse one I ordered 4 10ml bottles for only $14.99 and another $15 for shipping - which still works out at less than half the price per 40ml than just going to the store across the street!

The guy in one of the other stores in town (surprisingly there are about 3 or 4 dedicated e-cig stores just in the little town where I live which isn't even in a major city!) said that e-cigs were not very popular here yet...

Jeez, 10ml for an ave 15,000 won which would last say 5 days VERSUS 5 packs of smokes at a total of 12,500 Won - one can see why that may be! Figure in start-up kit costs and attys every month or 2 plus juice and it COSTS MORE to vape than smoke over here - unless you order off the net....

Damn. Just got a batch of juices in from the net. Decent prices. But need to get my attys replaced under warranty this weekend as flavours just so light now after getting burnt taste 2 times on each unit and washing / drying them twice.

So went back to DEKANG store and was gonna get an atty and just drip the new juices. They wanted 38USD for a regualr atty!!!

Ended up buying a dekang carto of RY4 and an adapter that lets the carto fit on to my ego battery. Total cost = 17USD lol.

Utter shyte. Drag for like 10 secs and barely get any vape and have to draw so hard my salvia drips all over the end lol.

Promptly threw that cr@p e in the bin and am now toking 2nd rate vape with my ego-t carts due to atty probs until the weekend! Oh well, only 2 more days to go.... Plenty of time left on warranty, so should be cool.

Edit - fished the cart out the bin. Found that if I hold the button down on my ego batty for 5 secs until I get a 'crackling' sound and then start drawing after that (lucky 12 sec cut off on ego batty) I can get an 'okay' vape out of it.

Damn, the flavour is actually bloody gorgeous on that Dekang RY4, will be getting some of that from an online vendor for my ego-t for sure.

anyone know where the best RY4 can be found at reasonable prices - around 15USD or less for 30ml....?
