I love to cook for family and friends but the air conditioning in my apartment doesn't work so well and it is a pain to keep the place cleaned up enough for company so I make them eliquids instead - for a modest profit, but cheaper than they are likely to get it elsewhere:

50ml $16
30ml $10
10ml $4
5ml $2.25

PLUS POSTAGE

It is labor intensive, especially for 5ml bottles and some of multi-flavor blends (I just started a thread about pre-made juice recipes) but it helps finance my hobby/habit.

i have always maintained that the best way to lose a friend is to loan them money and the best way to find out if a friend is reliable is to loan him five bucks.

Yeah... I used to know someone who when asked if they could Barrow Money from him would say...

"No. But I will Give it to you. And if down the road you decide to give it Back to Me, then I will know you are a Friend"

Well said. This is also a good policy for giving other little things. NEVER SELL DRUGS!!!

I have been known to trade some of my mixes in bottles from Candle Chem for empty glass bottles.

It's the main reason I have a nice selection of old Halo bottles which are my favorite and the one's I'm most generous in regards to trading.

I give away a bunch of juice...I lost count a long time ago at somewhere above 5 liters.

This is about where I would be.

I would give them small 5ml samples before I charged them for a bigger bottle, just to make sure they were happy with what they were going to pay for. Also would give out small sample bottles of new flavors so they can try them, and would only charge enough to cover materials and some of the time involved. Would not do it to get rich, more to help them out and to help cover the costs of the supplies.

I have one time.... only because I was selling an extra twist battery that my wife didn't use. And all he had on him was a 50.... didn't have change and he wanted some juice... so gave him juice that my wife didn't use and some MBV juice that was sitting there doing nothing. It was a good deal for both of us cause he only uses B & M to source his stuff and juice.

Yeah I don't plan on charging a lot. Just enough to cover the supplies, bottles (He is saving his empties for me) and a little of my time - just to make it easier for him (not having to order it / wait / steep it) and to give me a few bucks to help with the cost of the VG / PG / Nic / Flavors. The other guy is just too lazy to go to the B&M (about a half hour to get there) and he's not keen on ordering online.

The 2 people I will be likely "selling" juice to are both new vapers and I set both of them up with kits. One of them has no problem ordering from MBV but he likes the idea of me making him juice instead. Pretty much I just want to make sure I help both of these guys (and anyone else down the line) stick with it, and not run out of juice and go buy a pack. I got them started with batteries and tanks, so I feel some sense of responsibility for their success in vaping. It's definitely not about making $$.

Do you sell your juice to friends?

Used to sell joose to friends and my v-verts (vaping converts) at a very reasonable price.

But after reconsidering liabilities and making a very small profit, not any longer. Just the business aspect could get very expen$ive if caught. If they're a friend, I just mix up some and give it away. Hell, if I can't occasionally give a friend a <$1.30 30 ml bottle of joose, then I don't need friends! Besides, they reward me waaay beyond my joose!!!
