cheap juice is the same as expensive juice....got in this arguement before, all ingredients are the same...flavor is subjective

all ingredients are NOT the same. you have extracts that are made in house. you have vendors who choose different flavor suppliers. vendors who use multiple suppliers versions of the same flavor, differences in bases (vg/pg and nic)

taste certainly is subjective...



the argument could be said that cheap juice can be manufactured at the same price as 'high end' juice. for the most part that is true. but if it was the same juice.. why would anyone spend more (more than once at least)

you are right, all ingredients are not the same, but still cost the same, a cheap vendor could be using 4 flavor companies/manufacturers on one mix but not the other ans the same goes with a expensive mixer... I have a few mixes that I use a single flavor company and some that I use 4 companies at the same time, the second juice isn't more expensive.

I could see the point on the house extracts regarding NETs, Coffees and a few te's but but still.. now I vape mostly complex fruits mixes so the extract thing doesn't apply for me and for a lot of folks.

vg is vg, pg is pg, nicotine is nicotine.....the only difference is flavoring, not worth the extra price....paying for more expensive juice is up the customer but i see it as a waste of money saying it's better "quality" juice, thats simply not true

sigh...

there is a variety of nicotine suppliers out there that have different products. some nic is more peppery.. some less.. some tends to have more/less throat hit. they all are typically labeled as exactly the same. you could follow identical recipes where the ingredients are the same except for the nic supplier and have a juice that was noticably different.


the things besides flavor extracts that are used to sweeten or mellow or add a fuller taste... there is a bit of an art to getting them to work properly.


in the end im not in any way saying that people need to charge more bc their cost to make the juice is more. but im saying that the juices aren't identical. just bc they have vg/pg/nic/ and say peach flavoring doesnt mean all juices that contain these will taste the same.

I think it really depends on what types of flavors you like. I've been getting my liquids from vista vapors who are dirt cheap, like eight bucks for 30 ml. But I vape all menthol flavors, and to me, since menthol is such a strong and pronounced flavor, it's probably the easiest to get right. I've tried menthols from other more expensive companies and vista's have been just as good if not better, plus they have like eight different "basic" menthol flavors, which is like double what most other companies offer. If you like more complex/gourmet types flavors, then I could see how some of the more expensive, high companies would be better. I guess I'm just lucky that I'm into such a cheap, simple flavor.
