The store I go to lets me buys (4) 20 ml bottles for 32 dollars!! I feel like that is a steal but at the same time I know that there is juices out there that cost way more. Is there a huge difference in the prices to quality? The brands I buy are "DRIP E-LIQUIID and LUSH VAPOR"...


Any internet deals that are better than the ones I purchase?

Please let me know...

Does it taste good? Do you enjoy vaping it? The Sgt. is right, if you DIY, those prices are expensive. That said, Lucky 7 Vapes sells 120ml of really good quality juice for about $13. In other words, lots of $$$ doesn't guarantee good juice, just as little $$$ doesn't mean it's junk. Try small sizes first, and if you find something that you enjoy, order larger. Myself, I would quit before I paid a dollar per ml. of juice. YMMV

Prices are coming down in competitive areas. My local B&M has expanded to 3 locations. Their juice is really good and mixed to order. Big selection as well. They charge $10 for 30mls and $15 for 50mls.

There's still plenty of margin with those prices. I DIY most of the time and my cost is maybe .12/ml at most. With shops buying bulk wholesale I would guess they are in the .05-.08 range per ml.

All juice cost roughly the same to manufacture and it's a ridiculously easy process so I would have to say no to this question. It really comes down to supply and demand with a healthy dose of greed that sets the prices with a markup of 500-600%.
 
What I do is I go around to different shops and test their juice, then I watch for when they have sales on their juice or contests or whatever then get the flavors I liked. Right now I going to a shop that has fairly good juice on sale for $6.5 for 30ml. But when nobody has a sale i get juice from my friends/family who DIY juice, the only thing with that is the flavor is less consistent and they are very limited on flavors right now.

When you DIY that price seems steep. You can make your own juice exactly how you like it.I highly recommend doing DIY to everyone!
Alas, I have been there. Still there at times. The problem is I'm a lousy chemist.

I thought I was ok basically vaping for "free" until I tasted a free sample from somewhere that I forgot about. It's my #1 all day e-juice right now. Have no idea what's in it. No idea how to replicate it. But at $35 per 120ml it's quite doable.

The first place I bought juice, I just checked, is now selling 120mls for $30, 33mls for $14, and you get a discount if you buy 4 or more. I loved every one of the many juices I bought from them - and so did my hubby and others who tried them. I converted a few people with that site. I stopped using them because they started to only offer 80/20 pg/vg, and I wanted a higher vg. So I tried other brands. Blech. Not to mention pricey. That's why I started making my own. Mine is probably not all that great, but the ones that come out good are way better than anything else I can buy. Go figure.

The ecig industry is in the boom stage.
Eliquid is priced to match what the average smoker spends monthly.

Basically it could cost 10 times less.

I buy 24mg 100%PG liquid and add glycerin from the pharmacy to slash the cost.


eliquid consists mainly of VG and PG, both of which are cheap.

Once you find you vape legs, you got to do some kind of diy mixing yourself if you want to keep the monthly costs down.

The halfpack a day or less former smokers who might vape 10ml or less per week can get by on current prices.
