Okay. You are classy, and you vape only the best. I am also a low class person for vaping on budget and I cannot spell. Any other insults? Go ahead get it out of your system and move on trolling elsewhere.
I don't believe the member who this is most likely aimed at is specifically meaning to insult you, though you did insinuate that the conversation we were having, between us, was suspect, as if we had anything to gain from the discussion. If anything, the posts I submitted to this thread are here to give you an idea of realistic costs beyond just manufacturing, but also running a business too.
You may find a company that will sell lower than ECBlends or MBV, but unless they're managing to reduce their bottle costs well below the $0.15-$0.19 norm for bulk buys (which normally equates to 1,000-5,000 bottles at a time) and costs from flavors down to pennies, they're operating on thin margins and just trying to compete on price instead of quality which is never a good idea when it comes to something you're going to inhale or ingest.
You're asking for a bottle of e-liquid at a price point of, at the most, $3.75 per 15 ml (and $7.50 / 30ml or $12.50 / 50ml). Unfortunately, MBV, ECBlends and KillerJuice don't meet those pricing requirements and if you tack on shipping, the cost goes up $2-$6 more per order, depending on the method of shipping.
With an operating cost of of nearly $1.00 for a 15ml bottle based on my own pricing, which is bulk (though not to the tune of 1-5k bottles), an extra $2.75 isn't going to really do much for a business. Factor in adding a label to the bottle (another $0.10-$0.15), time spent mixing it properly (time = money) and any costs that are incurred to package your order, wages etc.
I'm not arguing the fact that you want to pay less, rather, that you need to be more realistic or DIY and find out pricing for yourself.
if the OP wants to vape "cheap" juice, let him. who cares. plenty of people like cheap vendors.
OP: i'm not sure if you'll find exactly what fits your criteria, but i hope you do, and enjoy your vape
Nope, nothing wrong with cheaper brands. I vape some myself on occasion. I wish the OP all the best and the best of luck, I just wish people would be more realistic in their pricing and factor in *everything* a business goes through instead of making a blanket statement on costs.
