I think that they are franchises. The guys on the one in Warrington were all using mods, one had a Vamo, another a Tesla and the 3rd a lava tube. Customer service wise they were fab, really knew what they were talking about etc. It sounds like pricing is a bit hit and miss though because the one in Warrington wasn't that unreasonable and I can pop in whenever i'm out buying yarn. I think their individual juice bottles were £4.50 for 10ml but you can get 6 bottles for £20.

I think the guy who owns it (Chris, possibly) is from Warrington I believe.. not sure about the franchising thing but Feri (royalvapor on here, shop in Wrexham) now has some kind of hook-up with them, and I also believe stig1978 may work in one of the shops... might be worth asking these two members about CCV ?
edit - the website has brief details and an enquiry form for the franchising, but I couldn't find any contact details re: distance selling regs...

I bought some juice from crystal clear from there shop in Shotton, last year, and as others have said, there is a terrible taste to it. I find there is a chemical taste, pretty rancid and lacking flavour. If you go into royalvapor in Wrexham, be sure to ask for Feri and ask to try his liquid. I can recommend his Coffee, RY4 special and especially his Royalberry Menthol. Remember, try before you buy.

ey up snapper, you must get around a bit, ayrshire to Gogledd Cymru ..all part of the Celtic Bretheren, eh ?? on a back-on-topic note, it looks like CCV may have changed their labelling, or Feri's now stocking liquid from somewhere else as well...got a blackcurrant in Jan labelled as CCV, now labeled just as E-Liquid ???

The one local to me have upped their juice prices. £8.50 for 20ml. The starter kit has one 650mah ego battery in, one clearo, charger and case and is £47.50. But the vamo kit is prices on line with VE etc.

I am planning to visit Royal Vapor and even googled the journey today. Mrs DJS does have a point when she suggests leaving it a few months, until I'm down to 800ml or something. (That's like a year for me... ??? )

ey up snapper, you must get around a bit, ayrshire to Gogledd Cymru ..all part of the Celtic Bretheren, eh ?? I'm down in Wrexham quite often, have friends that live in Acton. Should be back down some time in July for about a month. on a back-on-topic note, it looks like CCV may have changed their labelling, or Feri's now stocking liquid from somewhere else as well...got a blackcurrant in Jan labelled as CCV, now labeled just as E-Liquid ??? I've got some blackcurrant here too, came in an orange box, bottle is clear plastic with a green top. That came from crystal clear in Shotton. Rancid stuff.

The stuff I have from CCV they were just unpacking from a delivery and it was CCV branded. I bought mine about 6-8 weeks ago.
Been doing a bit on noseying about, it seems the guy from Warrington owns the shops and franchises them out. Maybe the franchises are charging more than the original shop, i'd guess as a franchise they have to buy their stuff from CCV? so maybe it's to make a bit more on it.

snapper were you down a few weeks ago and called into feri's? I was Neil from Valley Vapes, for about a month. Popped into Feri's twice. First time, I thought I was in the wrong shop when I noticed all the orange boxes full of juice, and my friends wife noticed a poster with ccv on it. Just turned around and walked straight out. Checked the address again on the internet and went back a couple of weeks later and bought some royalvapor juice.
