Why is vaping so expensive ? ( ....ty US businesmen wanna-bes )

[miro011]

Yes, they do charge shipping for US orders, but they have free domestic shipping for orders over $50 (sorry). They also have a coupon code "ECF" that will get you 10% off your order that I hope you were aware of.

Another bargain site that a lot of folks like is Yaeliq. Their "Steal of a Deal" e-liquids are $10 USD for 100 ml, their normal prices are $18 USD for 100 ml. They ship from Israel, but AFAIK you don't get ripped on shipping.

where do iget that code ?

If you don't mind ordering from the UK (which tend to have more fair international shipping that USPS), you could give pre-mixed concentrates a go.

Flavour Concentrates

The ones from Mom&Pop (also available in the US) and T-juice are concentrates of their range of liquids. "Just add water PG/VG and nic". If you prefer your flavors weaker than the average store bought liquids - you can save a bunch of money and still get away with very easy DIY-ing for great flavors.

I'll be looking into DIY juices soon as well.

In the shopping cart, bottom left, there is a field to enter any coupon code.

You will save a tremendous amount of money making your juice yourself. It's easy, convent and good with a little practice! I make my own and sometimes I purchase juice as well. DIY is a lot easier than you may think!!

+1 for Mt Baker if you live in Canuckastan especially if you go the 236ml route you are essentially getting 8 30ml's for what we pay for 2-3. Personally love there extreme soda and there Lemonade's. Currently have an order in transit with a cpl 236 ml and a few 15 ml of stuff I want to try like thug juice, ectoplasm and hawk sauce.

Another way you can save some more money without going the full DIY method is to add the extra flavour shots and increase the amount of Nic in your order and then mix your own PG/VG base to thin it to your personal taste.

What I'm talking about is some middle ground between DIY and store-bought. You just buy it and add nic and your desired pg/vg ratio and let it steep for a week or so.

+1 for DIY. It can be a little costly to buy the supplies especially Nic here in Canada. Once your set up the cost of juice goes down Big Time
DIY Ejuice is a great Canadian site for flavours & supplies. PG & VG can be bought at Shoppers Drugmart.
Nic can be a problem, You can find Canadian sites who do sell nic base but it's expensive. You can take a chance on the boarder and buy nic out of the US
I have bin DIY'ing for all most a year I spent a substantial initial investment But now I'm set for life
With the help from online calculators I make perfect juice every time, just as good or better than store bought

Long story short , Ive been vaping for a year , initially I was buying original things then I said ... it and started shopping from sites such as fasttech . From my PoV if something is a copy of the original but it performs the same , there is no difference even if it has the number one million written on it . So using fasttech , the equipment is really cheap and thats good , but the biggest problem remains , the eliquid . On fast tech most e-liquids are 80PG/20VG tastes are overpowering , also have water vapor aftertaste , basically their nasty . The good thing about them is the price and some of them are good for mouth hits but non of them are good for dripping . If I buy it from US or a local store , they charge 20$ ffing dollars for 30ml but they have what I want which is 80VG / 20PG and 3mg nicotine .I consume as much as 3 , 4.5ml tanks a day with the 3mg which is basically 10$ a day , WAY WAY WAY more expensive than cigarettes .

Should I start making my own juice or should i wait for something on fasttech to appear that is actually good , there is no way in hell im spending 10$ every day for some stupid vapor as much as I like it .

I know how to make my own juice but the only problem is the flavors , where do I get them ? do I make them myself ? And I dont want some expensive bs US site where they charge 10 dollars for 10ml bottle of flavor .

mtbakervapor.com has good e juice for a low price. very customizable as well i love it!

Agreed I love there Hawk sauce I make my own with there flavouring
Everytime any nic cross's the boarder there is a chance it will not make it
From here in Canada you have to minimize the opportunity for Customs to grab your stuff.
Last flavouring order I made from MBV was inspected by Customs,(Yellow Tape) lucky it was only flavouring or I would have lost it!

Compared to buying a carton of smokes every paycheck at around $75.00 - and then buying four more packs! at $7.00 each (because I needed 14 packs to get me through two weeks), vaping is cheap as dirt lol

Once I found some vaping gear I was happy with and a few juice vendors I liked that charge less than $10.00 for a 30 ml, I vape away every month for less than half than what I spent on cigarettes.

Then there's the fact that my smoker's hack is completely gone, I can climb several flights of stairs without getting out of breath, I haven't had pneumonia or pleurisy ONCE in the past three years (and I used to get one or the other a few times every year!) my home smells nice!, my car, my clothes and me, ditto! and I'm pretty much over the fact that I spend around $50-$70 a month on my vapes.

I admit it, spending even that much is me going "ooooooo- shineeeee!!" and having a lot of fun lol...I look forward to the mailman getting here the way I did when I was a kid. It's important to cater to your inner kid on occasion...I know mine keeps me sane!

If I needed to, I could spend around $20-$30 and be just fine! Could never do that with cigarettes. And COPD medication commercials don't put the fear of God into me anymore...

Money well spent, IMHO. Absolutely no complaints.
