A (probably very silly) question about e-juice

[pancser]

The most expensive juice I bought the manabush collection. I had the full range and I had 35% off so all together wasn't too bad.
I ordered some pre-made base and concentrates front the e-cig shop on Sunday and arrived yesterday plus I have got 10ml ready to vape juice as well as a bonus. So I am ready to make my own juice as I like it
You can try them ghostrider1971 it doesn't cost much.
£10 for 250ml premade base and £4 for concentrate

The main thing to note about the 'premium' e-liquids is that they are nearly all American made. Sadly this means that they have to be imported thus adding shipping and import duties to the cost. Also they are invariably in glass bottles which adds to the cost as well. But we also have our own quality juices from the likes of Drip-drop, Re-juiced and Nom-Nomz who can make just as good flavours and cost much less, and come in 30ml plastic bottles keeping the costs down. But when the TPD comes into force who knows what will happen?

I have bought premuim juices, mostly in the early days as I hadnt a clue what flavour profiles would appeal. I generally bought part used bottles from the classifieds here (because I'm tight) and they really hlped me hone down on what I enjoyed vaping, some flavour choices were a huge surprise to me.

Now I DIY mix, mainly following tried and tested recipes and I'm the first to rush in to buy one shot ready blends, which can be slightly more expensive that buying all ingredients separately but I notice a drop in prices for ready made concentrates and when 30ml of blended concentrate can make at least 150ml .... for maybe a £10 spend, its a total bargain!

Obviously making up a recipe from bulk flavouring is cheaper again (100ml of concentrate cab be had for £10) DIY is the way to go, even if you have zero skills (as I do) in designing complex mixes, I just follow and copy the members/vapers who I know are skilled and I'm loving 80% and the ones i'm not so sure of I tweak to suit my tastes so am learning as I go along.

DIY mixing is only like baking, get the percentages and measurements right and you shouldnt go wrong. I urge everyone to try it - just stick to one shots with listed percentage. Its all getting much easier since many premium brands now produce ready made concentrates of their well saught after eliquids

I often buy and use "premium" e-liquids. My all day is "Churrios" from Milkman. I regularily pay 20 Euros for 30ml of liquid.

BUT

I never vape them as they are, I just use them to flavour pure base. The Churrios gets 0.5ml of liquid in 50ml of base - so my 30ml Churrios bottle will hold a couple of months.
