I love Grimm! As is weird this season lol
Yeah, at first glance it looks like they're ripping us a new one. However, if you think about it from a business stand point, they have overhead. They have to rent a store front, hire employees, pay electric etc... An online business usually doesn't have all those bills to contend with. Some even drop-ship, which means they don't ever hold the product they are selling. A vape shop has to make a little profit too... it's the juice that we really are getting ripped on. And that's not just in vape shops... every where. You can make a gourmet juice yourself, with the finest and most expensive ingredients for practically nothing.
That is insane. I can get one at the local convenience store for $20, which is still too much.
I know shops charge more as they have to cover the overheads BUT if they charge too much they will end up losing customers, people use the internet and shop around to get the best price.

I can see your point for sure, but my local gas station sells an MVP 2.0 for $60. Still insane, but I would do that before handing over $75 for a twist kit. And yeah, we are definitely getting ripped off on juices for sure.
I can get ego kits for under $10 a set... cheaper if I buy more than 3. I can get authentic Kangertech kits for under $20.
If they are selling then they are also buying in bulk and saving quite a bit... so their mark-up is actually a lot more than you think. They are making a killing. Even the online businesses are making a killing. Especially on juice.
Not really. The prices in vape shops and some online stores are marked up way too much. You have to look around online and usually you can find really good deals, especially during holiday sales.
Most mods, tanks, and kits come from China. If you buy directly from China you can get them at cost. Vape shops and other online shops order straight from China in bulk.
other shops in town are much cheaper than that shop in particular, some of them are just ripping ppl off...Yeah, at first glance it looks like they're ripping us a new one.

Yup, they drive everyone away. I know many people that live around me who refuse to go to the shops for that reason.
About once a month I make my rounds at our local vape shops... some are reasonable and I try to throw a little business at them. The owner at one shop is really nice. He will stand and talk to you for an hour. I will buy things from him and don't feel bad about anything. His prices aren't that bad compared to the others. One shop on the other side of town is crazy. Their prices are twice as much as online.
So yeah, some are way too high. And I would hope most people in my town are giving the nice owner who has reasonable prices their business.
