Loll... no, more like a coupon off of a clearance item... :) the rewards program is not ran by that shop, so the shop probably got reimbursed for it. I work in retail, so I expect the prices to be naturally high compared to mail order. Where I work, if someone wants to buy something that we normally don't sell, we take the price WE pay for it, and mark it up %250. That's just how retail works.

I know B&M prices will almost always be more than online but there have been times that I seen some that were just outrageous and the bad part was people paying without blinking - and that's for vape gear and other things.

I know people who buy exclusively from B&M's and never order online. They've got to be paying way more to vape than they ever did to smoke...there's no way I could afford vaping that way.

There is only one shop near me who doesn't have crazy markups, he likes to randomly close though. The others around me have insane makeups among other bad things about them.

I DIY my own juice but I've tried a couple clone recipes of that juice and learned my lesson about an extra lemon-y extract that every recipe calls for in a high percentage. I make my version now with 1/3 of that lemon-y extract...it's way too much for me. If the clone recipes are close to the real thing than I would assume that it's supposed to be very lemon-y. I was disappointed too.
I see, thx for d info.. Could it be tfa fruit circles? I do diy too, just that havent tried making cereal vapes

Last time I was in the States (over a year ago) I went into a B&M to check it out. Mods prices were about what I expected - reasonable considering the overhead. Other stuff way too high - coils for the PT were going for over $3 each - triple my online costs and folks were there buying them and thinking it was a good price. Wanted to say something but didn't want to upset the folks running the place.

I've tried to tell people I know that they can get the same stuff online way cheaper but folks are set in their ways...these are the same folks that have no idea about the FDA deeming b/c they don't frequent the forums at all, of course my big mouth lets them know but I think of the people I don't know who are doing the same...what a wake up call when you can't buy online or at a B&M and haven't stocked up :yawn:
