Are the blank cartos posted on the V4L site the new white ones? The picture shows the black ones, but I think i recall Steve or Mark talking about getting in white-labeled blanks.

And I recall them saying we would soon have the option of the colored blank cartos too.
Gah...I know I posted back to this thread, but it doesn't show up. Mark confirmed for me earlier - they are the while-labeled ones. 2nd try is the charm?
nice,
after reading about the blanks a while ago.....
i have since deemed it necassary for me to purchase some (*many!!!*) of them!
if i waited until i needed to order (with a comfortable time frame)...id be in the neighborhood of 1-2 months!!!!!!
but, as we all know....
it will NOT be that long..
im thinkin' bout' a week or two!

The box I received on Saturday was all-white. [Which I really like]
After running some numbers, I'm moving away from blanks. If you're not mixing your own original flavors, blanks are incredibly expensive. Refilling from prefilled is the only cost-effective method as priced. $10 vs $14 - a 40% premium. (The prefilled for $10 comes with approximately 5ml prefilled. The blanks don't, so you have to buy 5ml to equate)

ALynn, what if the the price of the pre-filled cartos goes back up to the non-sale price of $12.50/box...what are we looking at then...
Well, the juice is less expensive than when I last looked at it too, and that makes a big difference.
If the cartos were $12.50/5, that's $2.50/ml
The blanks are 8.95/5 = $1.79 + ($2.95/5) $0.59 = $2.38/ml
So if juice stays on sale and cartos go back up but blanks stay down, then it's nearly parity.
You do a little better (1.79 + .38 = $2.17) if you buy 20ml at current pricing.
At current pricing, though, you have $1.99 vs 8.95 + 0.38 = $2.17 = If you stick with 20ml
So, yeah, right now, prices are near parity at 20ml but higher at 5ml + blanks.
