Give it time. If and when HC gets their head out of their collective rumps and does a 180 on E-juice in Canada, the market will expand dramatically, we'll see a lot more competition, and while we still won't be able to do much about the higher cost of importing supplies here, we will still see lower average prices as demand increases.

If HC ever got their act together, noone would pay 20+ for 30ml of juice. The canadian vendors would have to drop prices drastically or go out of business. If the risk of importing juice went away, I would just order from the US or China. Of course, some Canadian vendors are ok, Jugheads has great juice and prices. Most other sites, are way overpriced, even for cheap stuff(dekang) that they import. Also, it's almost impossible to diy if you order Canadian. All the sites i've seen selling unflavored nic sell it for the same or more than their flavored juices. I know they expect people to take 36 mg nic and double or triple it, but i vape 24 and 36 mg juice, so i'm better off overpaying for the flavored juices.

It depends on how good the juices are. There are a number of high profile US juice companies (Ms. T's Bakery, Pink Spot, for example) that do fine charging $20+ per 30ml bottle because they make damn good juice that people are willing to pay a premium for. Prices will be whatever the market will bear for that vendor's particular products.

Also, I wouldn't count on Dekang being cheap for long. They've already stopped selling their juice in bulk and will only offer it in max. 50ml bottles for roughly twice the price per ml.

lets not forget to add another $10-$13 for shipping ! Thats what gets me.

You can thank Canada Post for that. Shipping in Canada is much more expensive than it is in the US.

Wooooozzaa, I really don't want to bore everyone with your question - but in a nutshell, 510 kit, Joye eGo-T kit, eGo booster, stainless VPX tank, cartos, ce2's, 25 flavours of e-juice & a 3 month supply of my favourite e-Juices - FC peach tobacco & FC grape tobacco. I've tried various carts, cartos etc. I like toys so I am no where close to being satisfied with what I have. $750 may seem a lot to some but it's barely 3 months worth of analogs for me. I will save $$$ from vaping but it was never an issue - just a bonus.

Umm... because USPS charges a lot less. In fact, USPS is (or was?) in financial trouble, whereas Canada Post turned a profit.

What I don't really understand is if, or how the money gets divided up between CP and USPS when paying for an international shipment. Maybe only the place of origin makes money on the transaction? Dunno.

I don't think they split it up at all. I think there is some sort of agreement to just deliver each other's mail. CP probably charges so much to make up for all this great american stuff we keep ordering! :p

JC juice is $22.39 per 30ml. But free shipping with 2 bottles. Expresspost is usually around $12. So it's around $16 for 30ml if I buy 2 bottles.

It's quality juice from a Canadian. A little lower priced would be nice, but I'm not in a tizzy about it.

Same here. I bought a few bottles before the holidays and it's good stuff, and their customer service is quite good too.
