I was fortunate to win a free 30ml bottle of Gambit a while ago. Personally, I don't think they should be charging as much as they are, but it really is damn good.
EDIT: oh dear, I've started another flame war.

Yeah prices seem kind of steep. Of course most people agree you get what you pay for in most cases.
I have some Gambit loaded up right now. I really like it. I like it so much that my ADV's for the last 3 years aren't cutting it anymore. As for the price, I have been to several brick and mortars and flea markets where they are charging the same price or more for terrible Chinese crap. Plus the free priority shipping on EVERY order saves you $5 bucks or so.
didn't order it, friend who owns a vape shop had gambit/grandmaster. so i cleaned out my rda and dripped both for a while.... very light in flavor.
id like to know what causes their prices to be so high. are they using some sort of flavoring thats extremely rare? nothing that ive ever heard of that goes into ejuice has ever been expensive. im not trying to bash, im just genuinely interested in what could possibly make their ejuice cost so much more.
Hope you like it. Seems like the majority of people who try it do. I can't seem to get the "apple pie" flavor from it but I do like the taste that I'm getting. My wife, on the other hand, identified it as Apple Pie in a blind taste test so they must have gotten the flavor spot on.
My favorite of the bunch is Bowden's Mate. It's the only one from the sample pack that I ordered in a 30ml bottle. Queenside was very good too. I might end up getting a larger bottle of that too in the future.
Overhead. He started as a brick and mortar and after his product was established in several stores started selling online. He has a contract with all the vape shops he sells in to all sell at the same price and sells online for the same price to not undercut the stores. Its still cheaper than smoking....
I got some Gambit last month. For me, it didn't live up to the hype at all. Not getting pie, just sweet.
I tried them all at a local b&m. I ended up buying a bottle of grandmaster. I got tired of it within an hour of dripping it. I've tried it a couple times over the last month and I just can't vape it for very long. Wish I had my 30 bucks back. 
I purchased a bottle of Gambit to reward myself for 30 days without an analog this past weekend, and I'm absolutely loving it.
Like SnowDog, I don't get an apple pie taste, but whatever it is, it's very good.
It won't become my ADV, as too much of it seems to make me OD on the taste (plus, of course, the cost), but I'm pretty happy with what I received for the price.
As for *why* it costs so much, as mentioned up above, lots of overhead in this one. The packaging, the displays at your local vape shop, R&D... it all adds up, and gets passed along to the consumer.
Price be damned, once I hit month number 2, I'll be picking up Queenside.

With mod, juice vessel, replacement parts and the like it's gonna be close for those vaping 6ml or more a day. Just sayin'.
People should buy what they want IMO, but almost $1 a ml is really, really steep.
I have tried gambit in a Nova, a Lava, Artemis, and ProTank 2.
I love it in the protank, but not with a metal drip tip
I also like the taste when I can use my evic to increase the wattage over a 4 second draw

When I got my Gambit, I didn't know it was supposed to be apple pie. If I had, I probably wouldn't of bought it. Never been a big fan of apple pie. I just knew that it was a very distinctive, very different flavor than I had ever tasted, And I liked it. No way is it a "light" flavor. I would definitely call it a strong flavor.
I don't question or dwell on why some juices are priced higher than others. That's their call. If I like it, I buy it. If I don't I don't. I've wasted so much money on homemade crap from B&M stores, that now I mainly order online juices that forum members are raving about. Gambit is one of those. And it's worth every penny. IMO.

p.s., IMO, Castle Long is NOT worth it. To me, although it is smooth, and pleasant, it is too light, and the coconut overpowers the other flavors.

Totally agree with you about Gambit, one of the most flavorful juices I have tried so far. However, totally disagree on CLR, it's as good as Gambit imo. Tastes like an Almond Joy
I'm really happy you like CLR (no joke I really do). Perhaps I should try it in a dripper or RBA. I do want to love it. After all, I did pay $37.50 for it. lol. Also, I think my taste buds may be a little messed up right now. I seem to go through so many changes since I started vaping about four months ago. At first I only wanted tobacco juices. Didn't have any interest in fruits, or dessert type juices. Now I only want sweet dessert juices. Weird! Hasn't slowed down my device acquisitions however. Or my ever growing tank collections.Totally agree with you about Gambit, one of the most flavorful juices I have tried so far. However, totally disagree on CLR, it's as good as Gambit imo.
