Just ordered the Virginia super high .

Hope it's as nice as the france pipe..;)

lets us know what you think to the virginia..i still think pillbox is overpricing his wiked range though... which is a shame you dont get much juice for the price.. if he dropped his price's a bit he would get more orders im sure.

ye i too think it's a little overpriced, which is one reason for ordering the 36mg cause i can cut it with VG and still get the throat and nic hit , but you do lessen the flavour. I end up with 30ml of still strong juice but less flavour.

still , when his totally wicked website is up and running hopefully he'll bring the price down in line with other liquid.especially when he starts 50ml bottles.

I think the £14.99 is not too bad on its own but then you gotta add £2.99 postage which is bloody expensive and that total price brings it in line with 30ml of any other e-liquid.

I should get the Virginia 2morrow so i'll give you my feedback.
Got my blings and charger today so just about to try those out :thumb:

i disagree apostle i think £18 is ripp of britain at its best..e.cig do 50ml bottles for £19:98 https://e-cig.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=18&cat=E-Liquid the sooner they come back online the better but until then we have to pay through the nose!

Let me know how you get on with your bling in the bling thread m8 :)

pillbox i think your products are excellent and fairly priced and you give excellent service i signed your guest book just this morning..but the wiked range is over priced £14:99 + £2:99 = £17:98 its alot for 20ml.. i miss typed the price for the e-cigs juice its actually £11:98 (50ml) bottle P&P
i understand you have other costs to lay out... but so do the other suppliers take smokesters he seems to manage it 15ml £9:49 FREE P&P.

Kit, then that is your opinion, i can get juice for $3 for 30ml.


Not the wicked juice i pay well over 3 times this for it.

Add on, re packaging, shipping from china, import vat, sales vat, over heads...You might then see its not overpriced at all.

If this was bog standard juice you have a point, in my opinion it isnt..

I am in competition with no other company, i run what i believe to be a fair operation, most of my customers return again and again..For this i am grateful, i am also grateful for your business..

My point is everything has a right price, Totally Wickeds is £14.99 for 20Ml..

im torn between the two view points to be honest .

On one hand at face value and compared to other liquid it's overpriced. Even Johnson creek for 30ml is £17.99 delivered. Once they sort out their filtering problems Pillbox may have some competition with them.

But

Pillbox has done a service by testing the liquid he sells. That's initially what made me order from him. i gotta support a guy that spends time and money on proving the safety of his product, I'm sure thats won him plenty of orders.
He is also the only uk supplier that stocks 36mg liquid at the moment so he has a niche market there for the time being.

A supplier has the right to charge what s/he wishes. If it's overpriced then people wont buy it and no sales = no buisness , I'm positive pillbox knows that but obviously people are still buying wicked at the price he's charging so why should he make it cheaper, even if he could !!

I myself have purchased 2 bottles now, but will i use it on a regular basis ? Because of price i probably wont. A once a month treat more than likely . i gotta admit its great stuff, but used sparingly

if you pay 3 times for the wiked juice thats $9 = £ 4:94 to buy a bottle of wiked.. so your saying the £13:04 is your overheads seems a lot thats all.

Kit ...Add on shipping....then add on import vat. Then add on overheads. Listing fees, paypal fees, website costs, wages, designers fees, fees to the lab, envelopes, recorded delivery fees, postal fees, ..

Electric, my wage, returns, damages, fuel. etc etc etc

And finally remember £2.40 of the £14.99 go,s to the vat man..(Minus what was paid on import).

So my actual selling price is more like £13.....From that i have to cover all the above....Oh and then add on £2500 to build a new website.....takes a lot of bottle sales to get that back..

Kit, its not all profit, i wish it was..

yeah i will still buy of pillbox i have from the very start..i like his products and i like his juice..at the moment i have no real choice no one as of yet sells 36mg in the uk..but this will change and i think it will be are friend smokesters thats comes up with a fair price for 36mg

dont forget weve been here before.. last year pillbox was the only real seller of the 901's kits e.t.c in the uk.. they use to be about £35..then smokesters came along with a fairer price .. which made pillbox drop his prices..the same will happen with the juice its only a matter of time..but as it stands at the moment we have no choice!

Kit...I look maybe once in a blue moon at Smokesters site..Market forces control price, As more sellers enter the market competition hots up.

Totally Wicked will place its self in a decent position, it will be good quality, high strength, fully tested, branded and i believe will have a loyal and growing customer base..Will i need to re-align my prices? probably not, i will slim the postage fees down on the website and focus on quality variety and customer service...

Will other sellers get 36mg, maybe, will they be able to get it from my supplier...No as i have sole distribution rights for it.

Are other liquids as good? maybe...But not many..

As kate pointed out quality, comes at a premium.. has Smokester tested his fluid??? Not to my knowledge, i am sure it is fine, but with mine at least you know exactly whats in it..


That my friend adds value, Kit i dont understand you... You blow hot and cold, it appears weird to me...singing the fluids praises then virtually slagging it off...

And as an aside, i have never on ebay sold a mini kit for £35.

£2.99 with 10 carts, £39.99 with 50

get your facts right please...
