Hi you guys, I've been making juice for myself and some friends and I think I'm figuring this right. I made 3,250 ml at a total cost of 370 dollars. I'm thinking it's 8.7 so like 9 cents per ml. to make....is that right?

That's a tad over 11¢/ml.
My cost is just under 5¢/ml. But I volume and $ale$ $hop.
Regardless, you're still making out like a bandit!

Closer to 11.4 cents per mil you spent, given those figures
I use ONLY glass bottles, the best nic I can procure, usually Flavour Arts or Capella flavors, sometimes TFA or FW, I spend less then 11 cents per mil
Buying flavorings you know you like in bulk will cut your expenses substantially

I think I'm at 7 cents a ml last I checked. That's with wizard nic.

My totals fluctuate, a lot depends on flavorings used in particular juices.
Probably between 8 and 9 cents is a fair estimate.

I guess I was dividing backwards. I took the ml. and divided by the cost. Still that's not bad at all. I feel a little guilty charging them 50 cents a ml....snicker snicker 
I only use Capella's bulk buy plus all that other stuff. I honestly thought is was costing me more than that to do this, good to know! Time to drop the price
Thanks guys

Good advice on the flavorings.. What would be a middle amount of pg/vg to buy? I dont think i could possibly go threw a gallon in a year.
Hi Complexed, not sure what you mean by middle amount? I use only VG as PG does not agree with me. I mix flavoring into VG at a pretty high percentage...about 25 to 28 percent...or 30 lol
I bought a gallon each of pg and vg for $65 (shipped) from ecigexpress. I figured if I have any left at the end of the year it will be cheap enough to throw away. At the time it was the best price I could find.
Where do you guys get your bulk flavoring?? I can't find flavors for less than about .15/ml..... Very interested in buying bulk at those prices considering you have to include your nic and pg/vg
Edit - went to capellas website, as someone said they buy only from them, even with their 20% discount on bulk it comes out to be about .13/ml. And thats JUST for flavor - am I missing something??

Prices that were discussed are for completed eliquid (containing nic, pg, vg and flavorings)
FLAVOR WEST sells an 8 oz (240 mil) bottle of flavoring concentrate for $13
CAPELLA sells a 4 oz(120 mil) bottle of flavoring for $20
TFA is pretty cheap too, haven't bought there stuff in awhile I think 4 oz (120 mil) bottle is about $7
Ahh see I was just looking at capella because I don't have access to see the bulk bottles from TFA and I don't have much experience with FW. Looks like capella is quite a bit more pricey, but I can see how you could get those numbers with TFA and FW. Thank you red bird, once again.
NP. I just had a "falling out" with Capella the last few days. They sent me a 4 oz (120 mil) bottle of SWEET STRAWBERRY that I had purchased in 13 mil sizes a few times before. This larger bottle was horrid.
They promised to replace it and here I sit 17 days later with no replacement. Their word is GARBAGE.
I'll be using Flavour Arts, Flavor West and TFA mostly from here on out.

Don't forget to add shipping charges, add labor is value added also.
I have a calulator that I got on here, I think it's in the sticky section that will figure your price per ml if you enter you base prices. It's a large excel shreadsheet one
I always include shipping costs (if there is any) in my $/ml calcs. As for da labor, what labor? There is no labor when ya luv what ya do!!!
Ya seagull that price of between 11 and 12 cents per ml. includes everything plus shipping. All flavors from Capellas bulk buy. I'm actually bringing that cost down a bit as I type. It's too strong not only with flavoring but nic. I'm getting head rushes after a few vapes.
I am a perfect example of why measuring is important. Last time I did this it was kinda fun, this time it's getting frustrating.
I hate hearing this bird. Been my go to flavor for over two years. They have geared the site in this last year towards ecigs a little more so I would think seeing something like this on the largest ecig forum would perk em up a bit. I'm going to send the thread to Tom at Capella's to make him aware of it. You might shoot him an email to let him know that is "YOU" speaking in the thread.
Hopefully your not beyond that point yet cause god knows I am with a couple vendors.
