I buy juice from one vendor for a particular flavor that I love. It's $8.99 for 10ml and they throw in a free 3ml sample with each bottle, raising it to 13ml for that price. I can buy Dekang at $10.99 for 50ml and it's good juice. The first guy charges $5 shipping and the Dekang guy charges a couple of bucks for shipping 200ml of juice and some hardware.

Go figure. We have to shop with our virtual feet in online purchases. It's a shame that Amazon doesn't sell ecig supplies. I get free 2 day shipping with my Amazon Prime membership.

    Its all about profit margin. If a company charges 250% of their production cost for a liquid, and doesn't charge shipping, it's of little significance in comparison to a company that charges 150% of their production cost for a liquid and does charge shipping.

    I'd recommend not caring about shipping as much as the 'total' after shipping (or lackthereof). Example - 20$ for 30mls of liquid (no shipping cost) vs 27$ for 90mls liquid (plus shipping). I'd rather pay shipping.

    Yea at the end of the day that's how I chalk it up. I try to be more forgiving in this than I am with electronics.
