I've been DIY Hangsen tobacco juices for almost a year now and have many commercial juices I use to vape and like but can't tolerate the over sweetness of the juices, I have PIF most of them away. The biggest benefit other than saving money from making my own juice is that I'm not parched anymore and only drink a fraction of the water I use to when vaping commercial juices. IMO most of the drymouth experienced by vapers is from the high sweet content of the juices they vape.
 
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.

Just getting in to DIY...buying "all the things." DIY cannot start soon enough for me. I live in Chicago.

The other day in Chicago, I bought my last B&M premade in Chicago. As of Jan 1, 2016, there is to be applied a $1+ per ml tax on all juice sold. I paid less than the going rate b/c I know the store owner, and had a discount coming, but had I not, the price would have been over $24 for a 30ml bottle. All the juice will be well over $40 for 30ml within two weeks....unless they get the juice for FREE from their vendors.

Northern NJ native , Coastal NC now.
A lot of people are getting very good juice for $12.00 and under for 120ml , there are sales going on constantly and the competition is fierce .


I have not bought juice in years though as DIY is ridiculously cheap and many of the recipes that are available online now for the most popular retail juices really hit the mark .

A lot of unknown recipes as well though.

I am pretty fond of a couple of medium priced vendors and even then I buy large amounts when I can get a good deal..I usually only buy the more expensive stuff when there is a sale, a few that I consider high priced ($18-20 for 30mls) and I will try them once in awhile but would not be slave to them. maybe like a present to myself. I do not think I would even be able to enjoy a bottle of juice that I paid over $20 for a 30ml. Just no reason for that (to cheap to make) and the fact that I would feel ripped off would interfere with me being able to enjoy it

I keep spending money on crap online, so I'm starting to stay with the local B&Ms. If I can't taste it, I won't buy it. For the most part, I'll spend up to $18 for a 30ml but there is one juice I pay way too much for. That one is $10 for 10ml. I simply can't find a similar tasting juice anywhere. And I've spend hundreds sampling juices that just don't live up to their hype. I've gotten to where I'll blend it with one of the lower priced juices I buy to get the flavor but at a lower cost.
