E-Liquid Pricing

[John1952]

As a relative newbie, I'm curious about the pricing for e-liquids.

For example, Ms.T's Bakery gets good reviews. A 30-ml bottle seems to be $20.75.

Then you go to EC Blend, a 30-ml bottle is $8.99.

Both of these suppliers get excellent reviews. So why the huge disparity in pricing? I realize that taste is all pretty much subjective, but is one really worth more than double the cost of the other?

Disclaimer: I have no idea what's involved in making/selling e-liquid. I don't even know if it's manual, or automated. But the price difference is interesting to me.

In my experience, juice is worth exactly what you're willing to pay for it. Some of my faves are crazy expensive. Some of the others are relatively cheap. It's about what the market will bear. I do some DIY but can't even get close to the really great juices. Back to the drawing board...

Price, at least to me, is somewhat irrelevant. There's good tasting cheap juices, and bad tasting expensive ones, and visa versa. Find one that you can vape every day for months on end and you've hit gold.

I know how much it costs to produce juice since I've done some DIY. It works out to around $2 per 30ml bottle for me. So when I buy premixed juices I'm paying for the effort and knowledge the juice master has put into their craft. Some charge outlandish prices and people pay them. Others price their product more reasonably for various reasons. Either way, if you like it, buy it and enjoy.
