I am not blowing hot or cold...I never judged the liquid in a bad light only good comments about your products...but the price is a joke.... and I did pay £29.99 x 2 + £8.00 pp which equates to nearly £35.00 for my first order which I do think is a bit steep.. given the current prices available on the net...and your e-liquid will eventually go the same way and i think you know this..but as it stands if we want 36mg we have to pay through the nose for it!

I,ve got one complaint about the 20ml bottles.....
That damned label.......completly wrapped around the bottle so i cant see how much i got left in it.
I had to ( skillfully i may add ) cut off a strip of the length of the label so i could see what i had left.
made me panic a little , realised it was half empty ( or half full ) so had to order another bottle
I then realised the other half was in my little dropper bottles....erk.....

Pillbox, can you please tell me how should i buy two bottles and having them sent to me in the same package on your ebay store? Your store allows buying only if you pay immediatly, how can i place two orders and then ask you for a shipping costs-fixed total?
I'm asking you because a wanted some Malborough, and i though to try some licorice too, for fun, but now i'm stuck with licorice for our communication problems.

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
How much does a 20ml bottle last to you guys?
i,ve used about 5ml in 5 or 6 days , but i have been using my ruyan bling occassionally.
All depends on the user really
I seem to have used about 10/12ml over ten days. So like you about 1ml a day. I am not smoking or vaping anything else.
So well under £1 a day which is less than I was spending on tobacco/OCB papers etc.
I'm fine with the price, but the postage costs have to come down (for multiple orders). Maybe a special offer on 3 bottle deals?
I like the way you're going with the quality control. It has to be the future if e-smoking is going to be accepted by the mainstream.
OK Im interested In the totally wicked Virginia , tobacco, 555, Hilton. Anyone tried them, what do you think of them?
Denni>>>>website postage will be £1.99 uk regardless if you buy 1 or 100 bottles, ebays a different animal, their fees are a joke.....
Pillbox...Did you find a US retailer for the awesome juice I keep hearing about?
Your only complaning about the price of juice because you are forgetting that the whole point you all started e-smoking was to cut back or stop smoking real cigs .... Now as it would appear some of you are getting hooked on e-cigs insted of the real ones .... And the result will ALWAYS BE THE SAME .... If you have an addiction ....IT WILL COST YOU .... And i say that as somone who is trying the e-cig to help me cut down, and then stop smoking real cigs ........... Some one will come out of this if its all above board with a lot of money spent.... Some one involved with e-cigs and "e smoking" will be the next " Benson & Hedges Or Silk Cut"...... Just remember ... If ..and i hope this wont happen .... But lets just say you been e-smoking for 4 month .... and then you tried a super strong nicotine cart ... AND YOU LOVED IT .... What would you do if the goverment banned e-cigs ?..... You wouldnt be able to carry on your habbit, because normall cigs dont even have that much nicotien in them!!!!!..... Where would you go to get that much nicotine ..... My guess is that you would go back to smoking real cigs and prob smoke more to get the higer nic fix ..... Hmmmmmm ...... Good move ... ( Not For Me )
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 !!

Just to be clear, not everyone started with the e-cig to quit smoking. I didn't. I was looking for a healthier alternative to smoking. The actual not smoking any real cigs came as a huge surprise and was quite accidental.
If the cost of smoking the e-cig even breaks even cost wise, it would still be worth it (to me) because of the health benefits of it. And, if I stopped buying every new thing (out of curiosity), e-cigs for me will work out to be MUCH cheaper.
And you are right, I'm trading one addiction for another, but...how do you value YOUR health. Because for me, I think I'm coming out WAY ahead.

Well I look at it this way, this is lab tested 36mg strength nicotine eliquid I can get for £18 per 20ml delivered ... that's 90p per ml. That is not cheap BUT it's double the strength of most other high strength eliquid and it has the reassurance of lab testing.
I will be diluting mine in diy juice because I like a low nic juice to vape constantly over the day. I'll use about a quarter of the Wicked in my mix to make it 9mg nic. The other ingredients I use in my diy mix are not expensive. To make 10ml of low nic 9mg diy juice with Wicked, glycerine, distilled water and LorAnn candy flavour would cost £2.60. That's 26p per ml, that's what ecig.com eliquid costs in 50ml bottles before adding postage costs. If I only diluted the Wicked by half to make a high 18mg nic juice then the cost per ml of diy juice would be 48p. That's still cheaper than Janty @ 63p plus postage.
So for my purposes it works out good value for money as well as providing peace of mind regarding quality control.
Eeek! I think I had another geeky moment there, working all that maths out.

The problem is we can agree and disagree regarding prices on E. smoking and real smoking but as long it is related in any way we will always pay a higher premium I don't think this will ever change so we will be screwed either way.
But least we can control how much we spend more easily on using E. smoking

Kate, I have gone over your math and have come to a conclusion. I SUCK at math 
The only reason that e-cigs for me aren't cheaper than the real things is because of my addiction to trying out everything. Also, I finally have a setup and the consistency to live with what I have. 19-days Analog Free - WOOO HOOO

Lol, I suck at maths Tex but I make myself do it because I hate making uninformed consumer decisions. I don't like spending money unwisely.
Ecigs will work out cheaper for me than cigs in the long run too, like you I just have to stop buying new gadgets. It's a great hobby though and I think I can justify the spending to myself.
It's great that you've been off the cigs for 19 days, congrats, that's something to be proud of. I wasn't expecting to quit with esmoking but it was just so easy, I've gone 2 months and 4 days now without a cig, it's amazing.

Tex, I agree
