I really don't how I survived the 2.5 years of vaping before I came here, and it has everything to do with bullying because I felt it here and said so, or am I a liar?
Just because you felt it doesn't make you a liar. Doesn't make you right either with regards to it being bullying, and sorry you felt that way from others. I found most of the riposte's to your firmly held beliefs to be from another viewpoint, the polar opposite of yours - shock, people in disagreeing shocker.
Leading liquid manufacturers have come on this very thread to explain just how much following their passion actually costs them in day to day business use, it's not all bitches, ho's and speedboats you know (except for
@ZT ) Fuck I could knock out 15 x 10ml bottles from buying 30ml concentrates for £2.50 a whip in my kitchen and make some money, probably double my outlay, but my costs are covered in the household bills and don't take in to account my own time. No rent, insurance, bills, wages, just me on my dan selling someone else's hard work for next to fuck all as to make very little difference to my livelihood. A manufacturer has all that on top whilst selling enough liquid to maintain a business never mind a profit!
Move away from liquid for a minute, how do you feel about a UK atty maker, making all parts in the UK, bringing their atty to market for a fairly expensive sum because of research and design, using the finest quality materials at the best machining shop available, only for the Chinese to nick the design and sell it for 10% of the UK cost as a 'clone'? Why should they lose all their hard work to produce an innovative item only for it to be stolen away from them?
They shouldn't, and neither should artisan eliquid suppliers be subject to fault because they can't produce at £1 eliquids price point. Economies of scale anyone.
