Why is juice so expensive?

[zoiDman]

Sounds like what you're saying is that juice that isn't made in "a clean room environment with filtration and proper equipment" presents no risk to 99.5% of the population, yet you want you all juice made in such an environment so that the 0.5% of the population with special needs like yours doesn't have to worry?

If I told you what I really thought of this, I'd get sent to the Sin Bin.

If you Change your mind, and Decide to tell it Like It Is, here is some Reading Material while you are in the Sin Bin.

Ah, not everyone is going to like the same stuff.

I wrote a blog about this a long time ago: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-juices-have-same-name-different-vendors.html

In case you don't want to go searching for it:

An analogy if you will:

I will use meatloaf for this one.

The common ingredient is hamburger. Now there are different grades of hamburger (as there are different grades of flavoring)
Then you have those that grind up their own beef (vendors that extract their own flavors)

What makes my meatloaf great to me is all the other things I add to it. But no matter what other things I add, it is still meatloaf.
Most meatloafs get an egg added (we'll pretend that is the VG)
Most get breadcrumbs (PG if you don't mind)
Now the master mixer comes to play. Let's get some salt and pepper in there (nic)
Now how can I make this special and stand out from everyone else's?
Let's add a little of this (a drop of flavor x)
Add a little of that (two drops of flavor y)

Whoa, I make the best meatloaf I have ever tasted! I think I could sell this. What should I call it? Well Duh! It's meatloaf!

Let's see if I can take this a little further:

I go to a restaurant and order.......yep, you guessed it.....meatloaf. It is the most disgusting meatloaf I've ever had. But wait! Shouldn't it taste the same? It uses the same basic ingredients, right? Yes it does. But what are the ratios they are using? Two eggs can change meatloaf's texture if you only use a pound of beef. Too much salt...well we all know what that does.

People who mix flavors, whether they make their own or whether they buy premade flavors, are still mixing their Own recepies to come up with what they think is great....to them, first, and hope that others will think it's great to them too. Some do, some don't.

That restaurant that I thought the meatloaf was gross? Well turns out that it was voted best dinner in Philly. Maybe if I didn't love mine as much as I do, I might've liked theirs too. (just had to throw in a bit of DIY )

I thought of this analogy while I was making.....wait for it.......

Meatloaf

I can cook, I do not want to be mixing my own liquids. I probably could but I am willing to pay to have someone else do it. I have simple tastes when it comes to e-liquid, have been vaping the same one for about a year now. I found something I actually like and have no desire to flavor chase. I am probably a vendors worse nightmare since I don't have a bazillion different flavors laying around, and I don't keep trying different liquids.

It took me a while to find a vendor that I actually got along with their base flavoring, whether it was the PG, the VG, flavoring or the Nic that they used. Couldn't tell ya. Some of those were high end, some were low end. Most ended up somewhere else.

I love the people that say anyone can do it....maybe not so much. Not everyone can cook. My mom can't Burned was typical. The ones that can DIY think it is easy because to THEM it is. Not everyone is built that way. Just as not everyone is built for rebuilding their devices of choice.

I think it would just be Easier if Everyone walked around in one of those Air Filtering Suits. Like the one the Worker is using in Post #53 while preparing Girl Scout Cookies.

But the suits should come in Different Colors. That's a Must.
