Poundland liquid experiment (Wait what)

[Timwis]

I agree with you about the most highly priced liquids, I've only ever bought them in sales. I think the difference @eyeball kid is talking about is between different sized operations. A big pharma company with very deep pockets, hundreds (if not thousands) of employees, and vast facilities is working in a very different way to a small company with 4-10 staff, for example. They're world's apart.

i agree but his response was to me and i said £10 and above and i answered that question with the baking trade those sort of mark ups are obscured.

Course you are buddy and I'm not getting into all that nonsense. I've said before I've worked in factories before with items being priced up different for each shop. It's the way it is. I'm happy with the price of liquid I buy. And the more vendors that flourish the better the competitive prices for import juice.
Point is I like juice that costs a pound a bottle and juice that costs fifteen quid a bottle. As long as you like it don't let anyone tell you you shouldn't.

Course you have

I like the blueberry myself. But, yes in the actual shops seems to be only in 11mg and 16mg, and it sells.

Maybe if someone else could tap distribution channels like that, some nicer juice could be cheaper? No doubt will ultimately depend on the legal/political environment for vaping going forward ?

The 3mg 88vape stuff is great value at £3.99 for 30ml they have now switched to 3x 10ml to comply with the TPD personally I found their Key lime cookie and Toffee sauce to be a great vape and just as good as some of the more expensive juices out there ive often used their 18mg and 16mg 99p liquids as a nicotine base for my own blends in the past its so diluted I could never taste the original flavour after a short steep.

When I first started out I used to mix 1 bottle of 99p 18mg with a 99p bottle of 38ml Asda glycerine then added 8ml of Asda lemon food flavouring to make 56ml of 70/30 3mg juice, steeped for a week, it was a cracking morning vape for £2 per nearly 60ml!

I think that any juice costing more than £6 per 30ml is too much.

I make my own now but before i've tried premium liquids and been in vape shops where they let you try them and quickly came to the conclusion they are a rip off for example i have tried many tobacco flavours all different price ranges and what a bonus the 2 that stood out was 99p from home bargains and one of them is the 88vape rolling leaf tobacco but when ever i bring up the fact these £10 and above juices are just manufacturers being greedy i get ganged up on and rubbished all those costs wages equipment tax etc as if i don't understand that. I guess 88vape must have staff that work for free and get free electric and steal all there equipment.

There's cheap and expensive in everything, food , clothes , electronics , juice , everything .
There's no point in keep moaning about the expensive versions being a rip off . Everyone has a price they are willing to pay for any particular item. It's no different me moaning that a ralph Lauren t shirt costs 70 quid when I can get a primark one for three quid . They both cover my man boobs just the same so why can't I buy a ralph Lauren for the same price as primark ? Or Aston martins are a rip off they only take me to the same places that my second hand Vauxhall does.
You buy everything at a price point your happy with , if your happy with 99p liquid then great , if your happy to pay 20 quid for 30ml that's also great.

If you think it's too expensive just don't buy it don't moan about it

Completely agree and no point heading down this rabbit hole again. The fact is there are some great one pound liquids. Liquid' s cloud no3 is very tasty bit equally there turkish delight high vg goes down as one of my worst vaping experiences ever.

I am not moaning about it just expressing my view and just like expensive juice I wouldn't be stupid enough to buy those other things as well but other people can buy or pay what they want

I may be odd but I don't have any problem paying for higher priced liquids if I like them, but I wouldn't pay the high price of some hardware. I'd rather have a juice I really liked in the cheapest of cheap hardware, a cheap 'old tech' tank with a naturevape coil on a cheap 20w mod is going to give me (and most MTLvapers) an excellent vape which is pretty hard to beat. I often question myself when I look at all the hardware I have but I never do that with liquids..... probably because 90% of liquids I've tried I didn't like, so that 10% I really love are kind of important.

And you are more than entitled to buy those liquids if that makes you happy and you like them when I have tried some premium liquids I just can't taste that extra cost a lot of them I don't like but everyone's taste Is different.

I think we've all been there, like I said 90% of what I've had I've hated and plenty of those were in the more expensive ranges. I've never had any American made liquid that I like.

My point is really that when you find so little that you like, you are prepared to pay whatever the asking price is for one you do like..... that could be a cheap one or if you are unlucky an expensive one. But price isn't the deciding factor, it's whether you can vape it on a daily basis. Make no mistake I'm only vaping to stay off the fags but if I can't stand the taste then that's not going to work.
