Relative cost of flavours

[beedee]

Would generally use what I like rather than what is cheapest, but because I was curious I did a bit of a calculation to see which of the flavours I use are the best value, here is  the table:

Make                            Price       Cost per bottle     Cost (per ml)

Cupcake World              2.20         28.5ml @ 12%           0.009

Flavour Arts                  2.83         10ml @ 4%                0.011

ClassicKool                   2.99          25ml @ 12%              0.014

Perfumers Apprentice     1.79         10ml @ 12%              0.021

Capella                         2.29         10ml @ 10%              0.023

DV                               3.40         10ml @ 10%              2.29


The second column also has what I generally mix them at, of course the % are generalisations, for instance with FA I use their Walnut at 8% and am still not getting that much taste out of it, and 12% is way too high for me for the CW aniseed, but it gives a sense.


For the pricing I used some of their deals (eg FA's Super 6 and CWs batch of 5).

I use FA a lot and this makes it feel like a bargain!

The 100ml bottles of concentrate are value for money too from Flavour Art beedee. Brilliant customer service as well.

I only vape there cola and was buying 10ml bottles from the cheapest sources, ordered 100ml from FA and got it next day.
Ive only got 6 litres of cola to vape before I can reorder lol.

True, striker42 , I tend to get really into flavours then get really into others, I bought large amounts of a couple when I first started mixing and kind of regretted it, so now I tend to go for 10mls - except for FA Soho, H2OMG and Oba Oba- I seem to be going though 100ml of these pretty quickly even at 4%!

Sometimes FA has sales of 100 and 50mls, these can be exceptional value, there's a few 50mls for £5 on there now.

I get through loads of TFA strawberry, i just like strawberry liquids but i tend to use it as a base but even then it's 20% so not surprised to see TFA at the expensive end in terms of volume/price.

Inawera flavours are strong 2% of some give a decent flavour 3-4% is strong.

Thanks Perpetua love their Joy flavour and its half the price here!

I've been using a fair few of the solubarome concentrates, pretty much gone through most of them now.
Compared to inawera they are weak but for their price they are pretty good.
Gambyt is one of my favourite flavours they make .
Also master Fred @14% mixed with master Fred evolution 5% and kiss cool @2% is divine.
Kiss cool is nice but is full of blue colour.

Mint tea is good buy.
Breakfast v1 and v2 are good
Grass druid and Mystic cloud are both nom nom
Snake v1 is a very good conc
Reactor pluid very good

[beedee]

Mint tea sounds nice...

This is still my best deal, yes that is 1000ml (1 litre), my theory is that if nothing else it will make a good base for a recipe.

I'd buy 100ml of practically everything if I could afford to

Good for you jtc.


Even though I've only myself ( and pup ) to please, my little house doesn't have the space for such a room - but it would be so very nice to reclaim my kitchen cupboards/fridge.

And to have everything all properly organised . . . . . rather than being rammed in here and there!

[jtc]

Yup
Under stairs, two large kitchen cupboards,half a built in display cupboard,3 drawer bedside set, top half of wardrobe and a dedicated freezer.
I definitely need a vape garage or something
