Nicoticket is by far the best juice company I have gotten from. I also got some stuff from 2 other places at my local that was really damn Good. But the prices were just not that good. So I'll be looking to find elsewhere cuz my b and m over charges on everything
If you need some I think I have some to spare...I would do it, but I have only received 2 Zotz that were in one piece. The bribe would have to be a bit more.
Juice is the big money making item for BMs, most especially the ones that just mix it to order right on the spot. Even if they are just stocking FT gear/clones, the juice is where the money is. That's my wager, anyhow. It gets insulting when you realize how much it costs to make and to watch these guys take people for a ride for a buck an mL or better for just sub par "instant / ready made stuff". I'm not saying all BMs are like that but most are in my neck of the woods, I walk in to every one we see and just give 'em a quick scout. I don't give 'em a hard time, I just keep quiet and look around. More often than not, walk in the door, check out the nice selection (looks like FT gear everywhere) with a bunch of awesome CE4/Stardusts and maybe some clone mechs (if you are lucky) and hear the clerk advising a new client about how 15 mL of juice is the equivalent of 10 cartons of smokes yadda yadda...
As an anarchist/free market guy, I don't begrudge these folks I mean they gotta pay their bills but I don't have to shop there either. I just walk out and smile or shake my head. Some rare occasions I'll buy a 30 mL bottle of their insta-juice if they ask me about my Reo or are generally interested in providing quality product. But for the most part, if I am going to buy a juice I'll take it from a craftsman thank you very much...
My local B&M actually charges reasonable for juice. They charge $17 for a 30 ml of Good life vapor and alice in vapeland. Which for GLV is only a markup of $2 but if you factor in shipping and sales tax is cheaper to just buy it at the b&m if you're only making a small order (in Georgia).
Well, see, that sounds like my kind of shop. We have one or two of those around here and I will drop some cash with them *on occasion*. I'm baggin' on, and I know you understand, the shops that just take some MFS nic, mix it with TPA peach and (god, I hope) some USP PG and VG and get you for a buck a mil or better. We do have a few shops here with brand name juice and they are concerned about diacetyl and such and that's awesome. I'm talking about the majority of BMs here (in my experience) that just get over on folks with junk juice.
Craft juice, you know, where there has clearly been a lot of blood, sweat and tears crafting a recipe or even developing proprietary components; yeah, I'll pay for that and it's well deserved. Watching somebody ask for strawberry and seeing the employee go back and just dump ingredients together (well, usually, they do it in a back room) not so much. Not for a buck a mil. I'm sure the juice is serviceable, yeah, to quit the stink sticks but jesus, you could be getting NT or some botique stuff for the price they're charging for rot gut.
I should get off my high horse, I'm ranting and I apologize. Pet peeve.
You know, a ranting Cthulhu is a terrifying thing....
DO NOT ANGER THE ELDER GOD!!!!!

Yeah, it just gets me worked up. At the end of the day, whatever keeps you from smoking is the best kit in the world. But still, rot gut insta-mix peach that costs twice as much as that sweet, sweet Betelgeuse (Kent, (or is it Clark I'm confused?!?), don't think for a second I'm not trying to clone that for personal use!) well that's just hogwash.

What's really sad is those poor folks could DIY the same thing for pennies a ml....
And it's Kent but his nickname from when he was a wee superman is Clark. I was SO confused in the beginning as well. I chatted with Clark on the NT site then was answered by Kent on here. For a long while I thought Clark and Kent were the two individuals who owned Nicoticket

It is sad I mean, seriously, if you can't craft a flavor then rock unflavored PG/VG plus NIC and you can do it for pennies. No graduated cylinders, flasks or whatever required. Heck just add a few drops of flavor here and there and *make notes* and you can come up with something more than serviceable. Well, okay, to be honest most folks would rather work with graduated cylinders and flasks versus blunt tip lab syringes because of the stigma but whatever. I don't cry for them, though, I mean it is what it is there. Just the way of the world. Most folks just want to buy something and use it, yeah? I like guns, I buy empty brass, powder, bullets and priming charges and assemble my own cartridges (sorry if that's a political no-no around here), I change my family's oil. I make my own juice. Wifey grows veggies and so on and so forth. Some people just want to buy something as a commodity and roll with it. That's fine. Sad, like we talked about they could be getting NT at twice the volume per dollar spent but whatever.
I talked to 7 different vapors on my recent stay in Orlando. All of them get their joose from local B&M's. None of them had heard of Nicoticket or ECF. 
5 of them left with Nicoticket cards

That is absolutely epic. I am fresh out of ECF cards but I used to carry a bunch. Joker still makes them if I recall correctly.I talked to 7 different vapors on my recent stay in Orlando. All of them get their joose from local B&M's. None of them had heard of Nicoticket or ECF.

Each and every life we touch, well that's pretty nice.
I'm in no way bashing your hard work by the way! Maybe somebody could do a nice spread sheet with Price per ml of each manufacturer for ever size
I'm an excel wizard...
I'll do it but mah life sux for time, so it will be a while.
I need volunteers to send me legitimate, real time prices or links to the actual vendors website directly to the juice in question and I'll put out a spreadsheet with graphs...I'll take a bribe, if offered, once I'm done.
You can pm me with your offer for links and then we can go to email if that's cool.
I think this might be an awesome exercise for a vendor comparison and there is a forum or sub forum that I can get it posted in...
Bring it!
Also there is another B&M near me that makes their own juice and its like $23.99 for 60 ml and its buy 2 get 1 free. So if you buy 2 60 ml bottles you get 1 free. They do have some awesome flavors too and excellent pricing. Only problem I have is the fact that most of the employees seem to be "authentic elitists." Which I don't like because I hate being told "authentics are the only thing you should buy."
