Question about different brands

[Soulfly54]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but after searching the forum I didn't find what I was looking for.

What is the difference in general between the flavor brands (Capella, TFA, etc.)? I realize one flavor from company A may taste a lot different from the same flavor that company B offers. What I am wondering is why do some brands cost quite a bit more? Is it because the concentration of flavoring is higher and therefore goes further?

For example: At RTS 10 ml of TFA's Cheesecake is $2.75 & 10 ml of Capella's Cheesecake is $4.80. I have used Capella flavorings almost exclusively since I started making my own. I was thinking of giving TFA a shot since I read good things about them on the forum, and because of the obvious price difference. Can anyone who has used both chime in on this? Thanks!

Two things here: 1. Every mfg has their own pricing structure, based on whatever they choose to base it on (why is Coca Cola more than RC cola?)

2. Those are the reseller prices only that RTS charges. 8 ml TFA at Wizard Labs is only 1.49 and 13ml Capella is 3.29 at ECX and Capella website

I understand how capitalism works. What I was wondering is if there is a difference concentration wise that warrants one to cost more than the other. Have you yourself actually used both Squee?

And unfortunately your examples don't help. One is 8 ml and one is 13 ml. Obviously 13 ml would cost more than 8 ml, as you are getting more product. And when it comes to the Coke & RC example, Coke doesn't cost almost twice as much as RC.
