Mamba you hit the nail right on the head there, it's not the amount of money I'm spending that bugs me, it's the failure rate that's really starting to get my dander up.
Sure I send the bust bit back and get a new one to use until it fails, but that process is begining to wear a bit thin now.
I want what was told to us all by manufacturers right from the get go ... atomizers that last 3-6 months. I'd be happy with that, very happy with it actually.
We all know we are ripped something shocking on the price of carts. These bloody things cost cents NOT dollars to make. Have you noticed that juice sellers are picking up on the giant profits to be made from those of us that refill and drip or top-up ?
If you work it out, we are paying close to $1000.00 a litre for this stuff, that's got to make juice just about the most valuable liquid in the world.
What do I say to that ... BOLLOCKS !!!
Some people are getting seriously wealthy from us dumb fool addicts paying whatever they ask for their products.
It gets even worse if you work out what uber rip-off njoy want for their carts ... $5.00 each and there is ... lets be generous and say there is 1.5ml in each cart, frankly there is probably nearer to 1.0ml, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and go with 1.5ml.
Maths time...
$5.00 divided by 1.5 to give you the cost per millilitre = $3.33...
$3.33 multiplied by 1000 to give you the cost per litre = $3,333.33
If there is only 1.0ml in their carts, it gets even worse, that = $5,000.00 per litre.
OK we are paying $1000.00 per litre buying juice in bottles, I'll bet my life njoy arent paying anywhere near that per litre ... so where is all the money going then ? It's not in the tiny bits of plastic that make up the cartridge, it's not in the packaging, it's certainly not in the shipping costs, unless they are flying individual 1 litre bottles strapped into its own first class seat on a 747 !
Nope the money is going straight into the pockets of the njoy owners ... and great big huge wodges of it too ...
Things that make you go hmm !
THIS IS A DIRECT CHALLANGE TO NJOY, MARION ARE YOU READING THIS TO PASS IT ON ?
NJOY COME ON HERE AND JUSTIFY TO US HOW THE BLOODY HELL YOU CAN CHARGE THE MASSIVE RIP OFF PRICE OF $5.00 PER CARTRIDGE.

I agree, everything is very overpriced, but not to support any supplier, cost from replacement parts has to come from somewhere.
I suspect or at least hope that once parts get more reliable or even simply disposable, the price on many of the supplies should get more reasonable.
In the late 70's I bought a TI 57 Scientific Notation pocket calculator (one of the first on the market I think) for about $80.00 (a lot of money then), now you can get the same thing and even better for about $10.00.
Time will tell.

just like wat devilfish said, in singapore, cigs are relatively expensive as compared to the standard of living... 1 pack of marlboro costs approx 8.3USD... i tink in relation to the standard of living as compared to US or UK or even Aussie, cigarettes are really ex.... darn the government...
Amen, Brother Michael on everything you wrote.
And nJoy can explain how LoongTotem can sell 50 cartridges AND atomizers together for $90, while an nJoy cartridge ONLY is $5 each. We are talking simply huge profits on all of this dumbed-down hardware we use, ready-to-fail atomizers and El Cheapo cartridges with unregulated ingredients.
Makes me mad enough to want to order a box of Ruyan Vegas cigars.

if we compared manufacturing and retail costs--and i mean for absolutely ANYTHING e-smoking related on the market today,we'd all be outraged,even allowing for a good profit for the manufacturer and retailer,and shipping.
these things clearly cost a pittance to produce in China.
