Would you like to see Digbys do concentrates?

[Deleted]

I think it would be commercial suicide for any small ready-made juice company to sell premixed concentrates of their juices .... Concentrates of the individual ingredients certainly but one-shot concentrates definitely not.

[striker42]

I've never tried Digby's along with a few others, simply because, IMO the price is a piss take. If these companies started to sell reasonably priced concentrates, then I would buy a few and give them a try. With so called "premium" ejuice, the only thing premium is the price. It's a thing that always puzzled me and maybe some of the more informed members here can educate me. Who or what determines an ejuice has the word premium in it's title ?

I've voted yes . . . . not that I've tried any of their offerings either, nor would at those prices versus DIY. But I would have thought with the full implementation of the TPD on the horizon that it's an option that might make business sense for some companies?

Just to add as far as Digby's themselves are concerned, they've never completed the Vendor application process on the forum and didn't returned to me when I pointed out that their site wasn't complaint with Customer Contract Regulations in that there is a complete absence of any Terms & Conditions/Returns policy . . . . which might not be an issue for some, but it is legal obligation for online selling and a standard we insist on from all our registered Forum Vendors.

So perhaps you could have a word with them about that also Bish.

Fancy packaging, fancy marketing, fancy price.

Will that do by way of explanation

Dinner Lady's Lemon Tart is expensive if you don't get it with a discount, BUT it's absolutely the best flavour I've ever tasted. I wouldn't know where to begin to replicate it from concentrates. So some of the PREMIUM juices prices are justified in amazing flavour but I agree some are a huge ripoff. The worst are the ones who start up a wee shop in the main street/shopping mall, buy in a load of concentrates from Dekang etc. from China and then sell it as original recipes at £5.99 a 10ml bottle.

Nah, not really. But it looks like the best offer of an explanation. Hope you had fancy wrapping on the concentrates you sent to taz96, looking forward to trying some "premium" concentrates next month

Of course, I used a recycled cardboard box and stuffed it with the finest luxury used newspapers to keep all the bottles 2 degrees off vertical. It's small details like this that make all the difference

As much as I would love this to happen I just cannot see it. Similar to what's happened with TJUICE, the unscrupulous would be selling it off left right and centre.

It is rather tasty, isn't it? I wish I'd bought more than one £10 bottle at VF. I can't let myself vape it too often, though. Things would get expensive very quickly!

Evolution Vaping have it with a 25% discount. Dissie code CRAZY. Fill your boots.

I expect to see a large number of e-liquid companies enter/ attempt to get established in the concentrate market very soon* as for many selling concentrates is the only way of remaining in business




*Key Dates
November 2016 last ever production date for a vast number of Nicotine containing e-liquids.
May 2017 The last date to remove all non TPD Nicotine containing liquids from shelves/websites.

My thoughts exactly cigeliquid. I'm waiting eagerly on an announcement from Manabush and hope they consider this path also, otherwise my final premium treat juice will end once the TPD kicks in.

Wow Perpetua how did I miss this!!! Thank you so much 

And I see from the concentrate notes that they have left the sweetner out for the mixer to add to their own taste. Oh my, perfect
