Why is eliquid so expensive, sometimes reaching $10 per bottle when cost to produce is often less than $1?

probably because someone mixed it (the flavors and/or pg/vg amount) for you. you are paying for their "time and effort" + product markup. you are also paying for "popularity". it's called business. you don't like it? then go buy your own diy supplies and do it yourself. 
Ingredients
Skills/Expertise
Packaging
Shipping
Labor
Overhead
insurance
Advertising

When you consider these factors, prices don't strike me as being overly high. And indeed, when compared to smoking, truly quite a bargain. Just my $.02.
Enjoy!

What I have simply gathered is that vaping is not to save money but just an alternate hobby/addiction to stay away from smoking analogue's.
And ofcourse businesses today want to become millionaires/rich over night.
Racoon: Relax! Nobody bashing you business I know we all need to make a living...just wondering that's all. Wanted to make sure its all mark up and not some other hidden costs.
I know we all need to make a living...just wondering that's all. Wanted to make sure its all mark up and not some other hidden costs.Since e liquid is (currently) pretty much unregulated, the price is set by supply and demand, and profit motive (and no, that's not a bad word).
If I'm in business and can sell you $1 worth of liquid for $15, I'll do it. Keep in mind though that even the online businesses do have some overhead, and the B&M shops have a lot more.

So you will have no problem paying me 50% commission if I am to bring you clients.
It's not just nicotine you are buying, it's the bottle, the PG/VG, the flavorings, the person mixing it for you, etc. Everyone has to make a living, they are also selling you their time.
I cut out the middle man and buy concentrated nic and cut it with Welcome to Tasty Vapor.

no business here, just an honest answer... although, not a bad idea, hmmm
Easier means less control and more costly. I can refine/choose the PG/VG %, nic level, and flavor. I can also store large quantities of concentrated nic in my freezer.
mostly because people will still pay. some sellers have signature juice that are popular, so they charge more because people love it. like bobas bounty
Exactly the response I was going to give. Supply and demand, basic economics. Cover your expenses (materials, r&d, labor, overhead, advertising, etc...) then charge what people will pay above the expense it took to create the product.
The prices are higher than they should be, because they know you would have spent that much on Cigarettes in a week. Stop getting peeled and make your own.
Better to just get into diy if your into that sort of thing or would like to save money.
Now just remember it might get a little costly buying all sorts of different flavors some might taste like crud to you.
I got disappointed for a little while till I learned about the calculators and found the ejuiceme up calculator. That and learning to let them sit in the drawer and forget them for a little while or ultra sonic them.
Some flavors from different juice flavoring company's might taste better than others.
If you get into diy I would buy the smaller bottles "8ml" to test with. Then I would cut out the flavoring middle man and go buy direct from
the maker. Buying in bulk also helps. I have family covered for at lest 5 years If nothing goes bad lol
