Why are some e-liquids so expensive?

Presumably, if you knew the recipe for your favorite e-liquid then it would be very easy to recreate? So the only thing you can be paying for is the specific recipe, right?

I have an idea for a website :

Imagine a website called "Open Source E-juice". The purpose of the website would be for people to put their own e-juice recipes on it and have them rated by the community. Over time the site should produce some truly brilliant flavours. The neat thing is that theecipes would be improved by the users and eventually the site should host some amazing e-juice flavours and they should all be rated accordingly, and there wouldn't be any need to spend silly amounts of money on the top e-juice flavours as anyone could easily create them on their own.

Whaddya think??

It's not so much a business idea as a way to create great recipes for the community to use. Obviously you could monetize it, but that's a different conversation and not my primary concern here.

I think it would be great to have a "one stop" shopping website. With the thousands of recipes on the links I provided it would be a massive undertaking. The DIY section of this forum needs some cleaning up for sure as it has the info pretty scattered and/or incomplete. There are great recipes to be found in the links I gave, I've perused a lot of them. Because there is no one place to look I keep the list on a notepad on my pc, and I am always looking for more.

Google e liquid recipes. The first link that comes up. Thats pretty much your idea there. People put down their recipes, they're rated and commented on and some guys will even try to improve upon others
