What's the most $$$ you can justify spending on a premade 30ml of Juice?

[BreSha6869]

Just curious as I have seen premade juices available for $3.00 to over $30.00per 30ml.

I have physically seen $25 juices come off the same bottling line as $9.99 juices bottled and labelled for small B&Ms, which to me makes it even harder to spend big bucks on "ultra premium" juices. Beyond good marketing, a cool label and often a really creative juice blend, more similarities than differences IME.

In any case, I personally refuse to spend over $15 per 30ml. Most of the juices I have bought so far have worked out to be in the $10USD/30ml and that includes stuff like One Hit Wonder Milk Man and Rocket Man. I don't see the need to spend more and I am vaping great juice.

What say you?

P.s. If you can DIY a 30ml for $0.01, that's cool and your opinion matters, biut i am more interested in thoughts around store bougt premade juices.

I'm new to DIY. I haven't felt the cost savings yet. I usually will spend a maximum of $20 for a 30ml that I love. Nora's Dream (Aisle 7) by Diamond Vapor is the first one that came to mind.

I have spent more though on a juice with a phenomenal reputation though ($22 for Looper, $23 for Trickz, $20 for The Milkman). I have a hard time finding a juice that I can use daily and not get sick of, so I will spend the extra cash ONLY as a treat. Otherwise, I use various juices from Ohm's Vapes where $18 can get me 100ml and sometimes taste better than those costing more.

I try and support my local B&M stores through buying juice, as their tanks and mods are just extremely way over priced. However I've come to realize that paying $23 for a 30ml bottle every two weeks was getting old and if I wanted multiple flavors to rotate, it would cost me more than I'm willing to spend for juice. I now order six 50ml bottles of different flavors online every two weeks for less than $30.
I'm satisfied with how they taste and will stick to them. Vaping for me is a alternative to cigarettes and not a hobby like most folks.

Ahlusion, Halo and Mr E-Liquid are the ones I think of as treats to complement my DIY, so about $15-20 for a 30ml is my max. I haven't tasted a more costly liquid that suited me, fortunately. As I vape about 8-10ml/day, I would keep looking for less expensive liquid if I couldn't make it and needed to buy liquid regularly.

About $22 is my absolute limit, but only for a very select few juices that I love. I tend to only drip those and do so sparingly because most of the time I can't afford to spend that much. I like to not spend over about $15.

I don't use as much each day as a lot of people (I'm guessing I go through a max of 6ml each day), and I rotate several flavors throughout the day, so sometimes a 30ml bottle of any flavor will last me around a month.

I won't pay more than $10 for a 30 anymore. And I even wait for the cheaper stuff to go on sale and then I load up.

It's silly to pay more. It's PG, VG, some nic and a few drops of flavoring. You gonna tell me that the few MLs of flavoring that a "premium" company adds to a bottle really justifies a $15+ price hike? C'mon, man.

I don't like spending more than $22 for a 30ml from local shops. If i'm buying online I don't wanna spend more than $15 for a 30ml.

I'm currently trying to cut back my spending on E-cig stuff. I stopped buying mods and RDA's months ago. And I'm really trying to find juices I love and buy them cheaper in bulk. And once or twice a month I'll buy a few small bottles of new juices to see if I like them.

I have not had good luck with some of the "Cheap Premium Juice" companies out there. I tried ITCVapes based on recommendations from this forum and everything I got had really strange chemical tastes and I hated them. And that was after at least a month of steeping. I was thinking about trying VapeWild but I don't think I'll like their juices based on some of the complaints I've read.

That was my self-imposed limit when I started ($0.50/mL @ the 30mL size), and I considered it my "treat" level. Most juices I routinely bought cost less than half that. Now I'm in DIY. I just MIGHT make an occasional buy of Dr. Crimmy's from Viral Vapes, to support a local maker and a local shop; probably no more than 4 x 30mL bottles a year at $11.99 each (I think that was the house price).

First, there's no need to "justify" anything. A juice is worth exactly what people are willing to pay for it, just like anything else - a "premium" line of clothing, an expensive car or a watch.
If I like something enough to pay for it, then that's good enough a reason for me. In the case of juice, it is not only PG, VG, some nic and a drop of flavoring. There are NETs, there are layered tastes and there is also a certain cleanliness and "crispness" that some of the more expensive juices have, that make it worth for me to pay the premium price.

Not really answering the posted question.

The fact that I wear Boss and Zegna suits and wear an Omega watch has nothing to do with how much I "justify" paying for a 30ml of juice.

Simple question was asked.

 

[fogmust]

With Boss and Zegna suits, you need to step up your watch game.Omega doesn't quite cut it. Look into Pams.
Does this answer your question? If not, the answer is 30/30. Simple enough?

Simple enough.

Panerai is out of my league. Beautiful stuff though. I went thru the whole watch thing 15-20 years ago. My James Bond-wannabe Omega has served me well for years. That and an Ironman are all I need.

I don't buy from B&Ms anymore, I can't afford their prices. Lately I've been ordering from Blue Dot Vapors - $16.99 for 100ml. I received their sample pack from a 4th of July giveaway on here, it tasted better than stuff I was paying over $20 for 30ml for.

 

[Robino1]

The vendor I buy from sell 30ml for $13.

I buy now in 100ml sizes for $40.

The only juice I am willing to pay more for is Nicoticket and $32 for 60mls isn't that bad . They just had a sale and I picked up 300 mls .

I'm on my last bottle of Nicoticket from the big BOGO sale. #sadpanda

 

[3mg Meniere]

I wouldn't pay any more for a premade than what it costs me to DIY. So-- I haven't bought for two years.

Mark June 11th on your calendar , that's when you get BOGO again .

I haven't purchased from Nicoticket since the increase of prices a while back. $32/60ml is too steep for me now.

I have been buying 120mls for $27 and occasionally $22/30mls.

I jumped in to DIY last month and do not think I will go back to pre made.

They also run a weekly sale on 2 or 3 flavors at 30 or 40% off , so 60 mls ends up being $19.20 .
