Sorry Superman, couldn't resist....:);)

LOL - no need to be sorry.

To be fair, there are lots of expenses that most people don't understand or consider. Comparing DIY costs to commercial production of eliquid is really apples and oranges. I know what my margins are - it's a far cry from raping and pillaging. Even the most expensive companies *cough Chess* are somewhat fairly priced considering the kind of time they put into R&D and quality production. The most expensive (and time consuming) part is supporting the product and the community... at the end of the day, half of every dollar we spend is on the labor required to ensure the wheels don't fall off the bus. Add rent, insurance, utilities, and other incidentals (Just bought some fire extinguishers, just in case)... and you get the idea. Doing it right isn't cheap.

Couldn't figure out reading the posts of you have access to the white labels or not. For me if your going to get wokonda then the next 3 for me would be.

Absolute creme brûlée
Doodle
Raz cup

I'm a white label guy. Matter of fact I like radio more than wokonda. But you will like wokonda for sure.

If it's black labels only I would go

Creme brûlée
Grandma cinnamon Danish
Betelgeuse

I do understand all of this, and then places like *cough Chess* also do a lot of marketing and even their custom tanks and such cost them a lot, and they take all those costs and pass them on to get a decent margin. Extra fancy labels are /not cheap/

I have never heard of a company called chess. Could we be referring to a company that rhymes with "strive prawns"?

Just to update I have made the order from the Indonesian supplier... I need it with nic to satisfy and remove my stickies craving. They only have got cookie? And Beetlegeuse with 6mg nic... Ordered both for the small bottle first. If I like it, then will reorder the 30 ml bottle. He doesn't have 60 ml but he told me he order from Clark directly.
CLS was available but unfortunately without nic... I asked him to order the one with nic. Would love to try cls

I just ordered three flavors early this morning. I always keep at least 60ml of Custards Last Stand, and Wakonda on hand. I just ordered Betelguise for the first time, for my husband.
1. Wakonda
2. Custards Last Stand
3. Absolute Creme Brulee
4. Grandma's Cinnamon Danish
I reckon those are my favorites.

Yeah, ACB is limited in my place. The thing is I can't order from the website because liquids won't get through my country unless I have a connection with the custom. I think it's because the nicotine thing.

In that case...and since you have the Wakonda earmarked already...

Creme Brulee
Betelguese

I wonder why GCD is so good. Since I have SB's Derailed - banana cinnamon (all I taste is cinnamon bakery type on that juice, but it's okay), I'm afraid that GCD is the same, all pure cinnamon. Anyone would love to describe the flavor?

There is not only the cinnamon but a bun flavor as well and a lovely vanilla icing that goes on top of it. I personally need about a two week steep for the cinnamon to mellow out but after that, it's game on!
