My bulk purchase from PA in the USA

[upgrader]

Missed out on a mini group buy so I decided the savings were more than justified to go it alone

Dulce de Leche Flavour-4oz (118ml) 1 $8.00 (£4.86)

French Vanilla Deluxe Flavour-4oz (118ml) 1 $8.00 (£4.86)

Vanilla Custard Flavour-16oz (473ml) 1 $22.00 (£13.37)

Waffle (Belgian) Flavour-4oz (118ml) 1 $6.50 (£3.95)

Carriage $31.55 (£19.25)

So cost breakdown works out like this:

Total buy in ML = 827ml
Total buy in £ = £46.19
Price per ML = £0.05

Price per 10ml bottle = £0.55

Best previous price paid for VC 10ml in bulk from a UK supplier was £1.95

So a cost saving of virtually 75% was achieved

Perfumers Apprentice US were fantastic to deal with and from ordering to me receiving the goods took just 7 days!

I was a bit wary of getting stung by customs for import duty and tax even tho HMRC website has 0% duty on food flavourings, VAT is waived on purchases below £50 minus carriage.

So wishing everyone a custardy new year from me

Ooh that does work out cheap, you have got me tempted to do something similar

Well and truly bookmarked upgrader I love my PVC I've been vaping it for 6 months and never get bored of it, a bulk buy would save me a fortune! Thanks for the heads up. Are the bottles plastic or glass mate?

So you didn't get a customs hit on this ???

I got a customs charged on less value from the states (Flavours) and £8 Royal mail charge as well

But well done on the cost savings

plastic. ..must say the packaging was exceptional. Each bottle was bubble wrapped and in a heavy duty poly bag and the whole lot was then in a cardboard box with polystyrene chips.

Look how tiny a 10ml bottle is

[Greigster]

How does PA vanilla custard compare to Capella VC flavour wise, is there any discernable difference?

[poochops]

25ml flavour @ .05 = £1.25
18ml nic @ .07 = £1.26
40ml vg @ .006 = £0.26
17ml pg @ .01 = £0.17

£2.94 for 100ml of 10mg VC! Only thing is even if I Vaped nowt else whatsoever, it'd make enough to last me 3 1/2 years

I like it just as much tbh Greigster, it's a bit more ' custardy ' if anything for me.

It's been a bit of a lottery in the past ordering flavouring from the US I've found, sometimes I've been clobbered, others not.

So I guess it's best to be prepared, just incase and be delighted if it doesn't happen.

Thanks Perps for that.

PVC has to be my 99% all day and all night vape, but as I only use about 2ml. per day........
Perhaps someone will do another group buy.
