What's going on with the ELiquid Market?

[Phil M]

No idea mate. Wasn't on this thread last night and tried reading it today but was too long and didn't interest me enough so read every 5th page or so. None of it matters mate. Like it, buy it. Don't like it, don't buy it. If people think its too expensive, fair play. People think its cheap, fair play. In the grand scheme it doesn't matter. As I said its just idle chitchat. Nothing to argue about. I must've missed the Nick part as I jumped thru the thread. What was the problem? I can't be arsed to read thru the whole thread.

To be honest I’ve lost interest in the whole think, how you getting on with the thunder / finder?

 

[Mr Ripple]

I do make my own, with some advice from some good guys and girls on here, found 3 or 4 I really like, I don’t even buy pre made anymore, just thought I’d express my opinion same as you that 5 quid is, in my eyes, expensive

It absolutely is expensive and im surd once the markeg settles it will come down but there are reasons its expensive as has been said.
If you take these reasons and add them all up youll understand why the price is that high for now.
Vapers could help by not changing flavours every two minutes, flavour of the month and all that.
If the market were to settle a particular £4 juice could be scaled up and sold in enough quantities to enable the producers costs to become lower and then be able to pass those savings onto the end consumer.

Is there really any point In me answering? Just so you can pull it to bits with, research this, development that. We aren’t going to agree are we, it’s not like you’re suddenly going to say yes! I think you’re right! 3 quid, there you go, I’m getting dirty looks now, I’m sat on the lat pull down typing this

Well the point is, I'm confused why you think it's expensive. I know it's only your opinion but there has to be a reason you think that. Maybe you have thought of something I haven't, maybe you know more about manufacturing and retail than I do (which wouldn't be hard)

...but you're right I'm not going to tell you I think £3 is a fair price though...

Lets pretend you are the manufacturer ..... if I owned a shop how much of that £3 am I getting, what would the trade prices be?

Coolio. I'm not interested enough to look.

Yeah, love it mate. Like the Drag it sets the resistance when you put the atty on. Love it! Highly recommend it.

I’m coming at it from a purely personal point of view, 20 ml a day at 5 quid a pop, that’s more than smoking

It was basically a witch hunt for poor old nick last night, the only reason I made a comment

But wait, Nick was the only one that was getting angry, no?

Not without good reason, contradicted and undermined at every turn and if your honest I think you’ll admit that, anyway I’m over it now, I’m leaving the gym to go home and watch a documentary about a proposed cat cull

Remember the guy on here, bout a month ago, was going to start up his own shop, he was currently working in a vape shop....I think if I remember right.....he stated that his boss (owner) was making juice at 5p per 10mls....selling to a distro for 21p and retailing it at £3.99 in his shop, and was selling bout 300 bottles a week.....this is from memory and may not be exact...but he saw the £££ signs and was off to start up himself....if he was telling the truth, there's a bob or too in it...can't find the thread

But it’s a discussion. Of course people with different opinions will contradict each other. That’s how this sort of debate works.

I’m really sorry to hear about your irrational hatred of cats. Have you had a bad cat experience before? Or maybe you’re a pigeon fancier?

But it’s not a discussion is it? No respect from a certain section of members towards anyone who hasn’t been on this forum for years, I don’t like pigeons either, rats with wings. I’ve still not seen a shop with massive signs up by the way
