Flafors From the Source

[mmudder]

I've noticed that quite a few people here buy their flavors from various vendors instead of from the source of said flavor. For example, RTS sells some TFA flavors, etc. I bought my first batch of DIY flavors from RTS without realizing that I could just go directly to the source to buy them. The second time I bought some flavor, I bought directly from TPA. It looks like buying from the source would "cut out the middle man", which could possibly lower the price (I haven't done much price comparison).

I'm curious why some of you don't buy from the sources of flavors.

If you're going for tiny amounts, then often times the reseller actually has better prices.

The source is, with exception of some sales, the best place to go if you need larger amounts.

Smaller bottles, that vapor vendors offer, are generally cheaper at most every place. The only time it's frugal to go to the source is when you need a large bottle, and that's not always cheaper either due to sales, so always look around when buying large flavoring bottles.

Here's a good thread to check them all before your about to order

^^^This. Plus some of the vendors carry more than one brand. Just a quick comparison, I checked capellas site for Amaretto, 13g. The price is the same as ECX but if you want more than one companies flavorings, you have to pay separate shipping on them buying from the source.

Here is an example:
The Flavor/perfume Apprentice (source) Banana cream 4ml $1.40
Wizard Labs carries The Flavor Apprentice Banana Cream 8ml $1.49

Actually, in RL I'm fairly famous for sneaking up on people. I have an unusually light step. Just not known for my phone text speed.

But hey, you can mix like a pro so that's all that matter. Texting is dangerous for our health anyway, but I guess not as bad as wearing Google glasses or directly connecting to the net via Neo style, all of which I'm sure will be coming along to a brain near us all very soon. Glasses are already about to launch, so I'm sure direct connect wont be too far off, and then comes brain viruses followed by SkyNet.
