Where do most stores get their e-liquid from?

[EddieK]

From your experience, where do local vapor stores purchase their e-liquid from?

Are there particular wholesalers with really cheap rates on large quantities?

Welcome , but not a lot of the stores will even tell you where the juice comes from , unless their selling , say Pink Spot juices or something similar . Some places like diy Flavor shack ( here in Vegas ) as well as Pink Spot ( also here in Vegas ) make all their own juices , to your specifcations . Most wholesalers are not going to sell you anything , unless your a dealer of sorts . You can get cheap juice from China , but no one knows what all is in it . The cheapest juice to be had is DIY ( do it yourself ) You buy the PG/VG and nicotine , if you use it . and some flavorings , and make your own . I have been doing the DIY thing for awhile now , and as I don't use any nicotine , my juice is very cheap to make . Something less than a dollar for 30ml. Try beating that price from any store . There are several places on the internet to get your supplies . Wizard Labs is one . DIY Flavorshack , is another good luck

Retail and wholesale. 20% off sale for retail and 10% off for wholesale.

5 orders for me, always in a box and all the flavors come in glass bottles - important if you go overboard

If you can make it for $1 per 30ml, why don't you sell it to stores? Wouldn't stores make a killing by buying it at these low prices and then reselling at $1/ml?

Ejuice comes from China...Mostly

That's $1 for the juice itself. Add in bottles, labels, facilities and most importantly labor involved with producing large quantities and it would be quite a bit more.

Are there any store owners on this site? If so, is anyone willing to say what they pay wholesale for the e-liquid that they sell in store?

Good luck with that...

If you were a store owner, would YOU make that information public? I wouldn't.

Why would they do that?

My local B&M gets liquids from Mister E-Liquid, Roar, Halo and Dekang. They also make their own brand (which is pretty good).

I don't care what it cost them to make or buy the liquid. If I think the price is reasonable and I like the product, I'll buy it.

 

[Hoofhearted62]

I DIY most of my juices, but there are a few that I havent duplicated yet that I just gotta buy. Mister-E Napalm is awesome. but dont try it in plastic tanks unless you want to throw it away. its a tank melter for sure...

One company located in NC is used for outsourcing when the small online juice makers outgrow their initial business. I cannot go into much more detail. :/

We make our own. A lot of shops order from China, a lot order from other local shops. It varies wildly.

No, but it's a little known fact they pay about a buck a bottle. Lots of mark up there. Most store owners and juice makers don't even vape, they sit around and smoke Cuban cigars, laughing their butts off in Corinthian leather chairs at 20X mark up we pay while sipping Single Malt Scotch. Shhhhh......they are always wacthing...I've said too much.

One of my local B&M's (they're both GREAT, BTW) flat out told me that he loses money on equipment but makes it back and then some on his liquids.

He has at least six employees at two locations. There's always several people in there before me and I don't mind waiting for my turn.

If it keeps the guy in business and keeps people employed, I really don't care what he pays per ml to make or buy the stuff he sells.

I'm pretty much 100% DIY on liquids now, but I still stop in to pick up a few genuine Kanger coils. Their price is $3.50/per. I get to hang out with other vapers, get a few pieces of decent equipment and I'm supporting a business who seems to be growing every month.
