price variations on eliquid

[stanton]

i made the price on eliquid change a bit according to concentrations of nicotine and flavouring. i didn't factor in costs accurately, just some relative variation. is it fair? is it just annoying?

any thoughts, anyone?

It could be a bit confusing to a new vaper as to why there are the price variations Stanton . . . to my eye it looks a bit muddly, if you don't mind me saying.

Although it wouldn't put me off buying from you, but personally I'd prefer a cleaner/clearer look . . . with maybe 2/3 price bands instead?

I certainly don't think it's unfair since your prices are still excellent for custom juices.

I am not sure how logical the price variations are though... especially with there being no difference in variation between a 10ml and 30ml bottle ???.

@perpy: hmm.....you mean on the nic strength?
i'll bear that in mind.

@tak:
yeah...that's a limitation of the hosting package. i just sort of averaged. it does make the 10ml less value, but i wanted to get away from value 10ml's, anyway. and the 30ml's, btw, are much more on postage.

Yes, on the nic strength Stanton . . . I didn't quite follow the logic on that as Tak says, it also looked a bit ' busy ' to me.

Maybe charge a little more on the extra flavouring option, to offset prices on your nic strengths . . . an extra 30p is nothing really, even if you went to 50p they'd still be excellent value.

Well the thing with 10mls is they are essential for people wanting to test out lots of flavours so you really can't get away from them. Personally, I am not going to buy 30ml of something I haven't tried before... I have had far too many flavours that I can't stand or don't like enough to want 30ml (not from you, I mean in general).

Having said that though, the price variations don't put me off buying 10ml bottles from you with extra flavour, I think it's still a good price... but obviously bigger bottles are better value which is how it should be.

BTW I have tried several times, but I can't get your system to recognise my email to create an account, I have ordered from you a couple of times and it would be very handy to be able to see what the % mix of custom flavours was before reordering.

sorry tak.
i discovered that just wont work on my shop unless i force account creation on every sale, which is a no go.
i've taken the account thingy off now. sorry to waste your time. i can email order details upon request.

Stanton, I personally sell my liquids at one price for each bottle size, irrespective of nic strength and flavourings. Some flavourings cost me a lot more than others and some liquids have up to 8 flavourings to achieve the right taste. I just suck up the extra cost because its much simpler for the customers to know that they will be paying the same amount. I have never had a customer complain about paying the same for a 0mg nic content liquid but again they have probably been working down to that over a number of months and just want consistency of taste throughout.

We are currently working with a website developer who although slow, has come up with lots of ideas for custom mix pages. I don't know if we will launch with this but it all sounds exciting.

Good luck with your website I am sure you will get there

thanks ev.
i think i might just put small extra charge on 24mg and extra flavour. just keep it tidier. then the base price probably goes up a tad. sorry 0mg'ers.
