What are you paying for your favorite juice?

 But I also clean and re-use/recycle my glass bottles for other purposes (such as mixing paints for airbrushing), so ultimately that extra fee is worth it to me.

I reuse my 30ml glass bottles for DYI juice and essential oils I make. Once they're scrubbed really well and sterilized there's no way for the nicotine to transfer to other things. I found it a great way to help the wallet. I clean the 30ml plastic bottles to share juices I've made with the couple people I know who vape too and just tell them to toss them when they're done For smaller (5 &10ml) plastic bottles I just buy new at the local B&M because they're only a few pennies or he just tosses them in if I only need a couple.

I had been going to my local b&m and was paying 39.99 for 120ml. I was apprehensive about buying online. Prices were average with my local b&m until I ran across Vape Wild and they offer really good flavors. They charge 19.99 per 120ml of the same flavor or 6.99 per 30ml. I also use Vista Vapors, They charge 17.99 per 102ml of the same flavor or 4.99 per 17ml. Their flavors are very good also.

Well, we are kind of doing a sort of cheat on how much we pay for juice.  The shop we buy these particular juices at sell not just the juices, but flavoring bottles - they'll sell you a bottle of the 618 flavoring, or the inferno flavoring, or whatever juice they make - you pay the same price for say 30 ml as you would for 30 ml of juice, or 22 ml, or whatever.  Then we go home and mix it with nic and pg and vg.  I think per 100 mls of finished juice, we use 8 mil of flavoring?  I don't know if they are going to be able to do that once the PMTA rules hit, and I can't imagine they would get PMTAs for that, especially since you can tailor it to your own flavor - less peppermint, more cinnamon, etc.

But, when I was getting juice from juice mafia, it was around $25 - 30 for 100 ml I think - 2 50 ml bottles.

I should say, because I forgot, the juice that we just buy the flavoring from is a B&M.  They were originally online only, but about a week after we started vaping, they opened their B&M store, lol.  And you can get the flavoring in any size bottle that they sell juice in.  So we get 120 ml of 618 flavoring, but only 30 ml of Inferno flavoring at a time because while they put the Inferno juice in glass bottles, they don't put the flavoring in glass bottles.  But if we were to buy the JUICE from them, I think it's $8.99 for 22 ml, $12 for 31 ml, and I can't remember the rest of the size bottles, up to 250 ml.

Juice Mafia was online - juicemafia.com.

At one point in time I was getting juice from vaporbeast.com, but in the end, they were too expensive.  They only carried 15 ml bottles, and I think it was 8.99 for 15 ml.  Considering now I go through 50 + ml per month, the juice mafia prices were much better suited to my needs.  I'm sorry, Christopher, I really liked the pineapple from the VT store, my budget just couldn't take it, considering how much juice I go through in a month (okay, I go through even more than 50 ml in a month now, I need to stop that).

That's great but I don't have the time or space for mixing...It's about convenience for me and money is not a problem...just sayin

When we buy actual juice from Better Vapes, we get the punch card, too, but when the regulations hit, instead of a free 22 ml bottle, it will be half off a 22 ml bottle, because it can't be free anymore.  Stupid FDA.  Freaking drug sales reps are allowed to give free samples of drugs to docs, who then pass them on to their patients, but we can't get a free bottle of juice - even reviewers.

Don't know why it's making me quote you except I started a reply quoting you and cancelled it.  This is about what Cany said.  When my husband mixes up juice, it takes him about 10 minutes to get both the Inferno and the 618 mixed up.  That's doing the PG/VG and Nic one after the other.  BUT, he's using a pre-mixed flavor (which also means we only have to store the 2 bottles of flavoring, the big bottle of Nic - that's in the freezer - and the big bottles of PG/VG).   Luckily, we have room for them right now, but if we were mixing up juice flavors and we had to buy the flavor ingredients?  That would take considerable more space, I would think.

Cany, what are you going to do when you can't make your own anymore?

* I might add this email I just got from VVV..What used to be a "free" 100ml bottle they're now charging $1, still one of the best deals I've found yet...[emoji4]

@cany, ah, so you won't be so affected by all of this crap.  PG and VG are used for other things, so they aren't being taken off the market.  You'll just sort of ride the wave.

@smacksy, I wish that's what Better Vapes decided to do.  Maybe they felt they were pushing the line enough by charging $1.00 for unlimited taste testing, but I don't see how charging $1 for what used to be free would be a problem, like the shop you mentioned there.

I've been ordering juice from VVV for awhile now...prices are always fantastic, especially with their promo offers..and the flavors are awesome, (DL)...Excellent customer service when I call to ask about a order, (or anything else)
I live near the beach in San Diego
and I get my orders in 2-3 days coming out of Phoenix, AZ..
Minor adjustments since 8/8, and it looks good for the immediate future[emoji4]

I get local shop juice, one source I get 50ml bottles for ~15 or 120ml for ~30.

Just recently started getting some from another shop because of one particular flavor, and I always go in on the buy one get one days, so I end up getting 60ml for ~10 (so ~10 for 30ml)
