The kits they have in town here are one small batt (maybe 650 or 750) a little tank and you might get a 10ml bottle of 0 nic juice with it all for that $50.

I try to send new vapers online but now it's so overwhelming with all the options. We do have one b&m that doesn't hose people badly. The owners work 7 days a week there, no other employees, they deserve the markup in my mind.

I bought my subox kit, locally, for $68. A little higher than online, but not that bad. Some stores are cheaper than others, my favorite local B&M seems to have no employees, so that's a ton of overhead skipped. He's cheaper on his juice than any other B&M I have been in as well.

At the closest store that sells a subox mini is around $110. They only sell the nasty juice you get at a convenience store. I don't trust that place very much and have never bought anything from there.

asking 120$ around these parts.
Guy I talked to paid 170 for his sub box kit. When he told me that I was like good lord u got screwed. Even the guy who worked at the shop I was in was shocked, He was like we sell them for 70. They guy was a bit ......, he got it from another shop. i asked if he got anything with it and he said no just the kit.

For sure. The first b&m I bought my ego kit at sold me generic China juice. It made me sooooo sick, they blamed it on the pg/vg ratio. Bad yelp review left and I still warn everyone off that place.

In the UK the subox costs around £50.

We are lucky here, not sure why, with a couple of good vape shops. Friendly, helpful people that use and understand the products they are selling. And aren't out to screw anyone. I send new people to them, rather than online, because a good vape shop can save a fortune in the long run. If I had found these guys 2 years ago I would never have gone through half a dozen ego kits and more, or wasted anywhere near as much on juice before going DIY. A little more up front when combined with good, solid information and a chance to sample the juice is great in the long term.

Wow!! that that sucks, so many B&M's are screwing people over, went a few months back to pick up my wife a replacement tank for her ego, CE4 tanks were 11$ for a single... I was like WTH? for 11$ I can get 10x online for that price, anyways I've haven't been back to that store since, it's not right to take advantage of people just because they are new to something, I made it pretty clear on their facebook page they neglect..[

I paid $50 for all my sobox kits. I just got my Mother one for a Christmas present, well it's the nano, it was $49... that's the whole kit too. You can find these on sale most of the time. :)

There's a few guys around work that keep buying gear out in town here and paying 2 to 3 times the online cost. The funny part is they know they can get it cheaper. They don't like that they would have to wait a week or so for it to get here so they'll spend the money - not just an extra $10 or so - some have dumped up to $80 or more extra just to have it right now.

I've done that a time or two, but not that much! If I really, really wanted something I'd pick it up at the vape shop and pay $20 more for it or so... but that's not smart when you can get it way cheaper online. Most things you can wait on, ya know?
