(Another) little B&M rant :)

[ghostrider1971]

I went in to my local B&M today - haven't bought anything for a while (Mainly because the owner jumps on people as soon as they walk in the door and always says "What do you want to buy"?)

Had a peruse of their ridiculously overpriced juices - overheard Owner say loudly to employee "Oh. He's just looking again..."

Well, when you are selling unbranded juice for 7 quid for 10ml and "premium juice" for 15-25 quid for 15ml, I am certainly am "just looking"

Happened to notice the, empty, shop is also overflowing with big tanks and "big" bottles (30ml +) of juice...

Whilst I feel incredibly sorry for the honest B&M and the B&M shops who will be hit by the TPD but really help new & experienced vapers, I will be gleefully standing outside this one when the TPD apocalypse hits and will gladly buy up their greatly reduced (realistically priced?) juices then.....

Just re-read this - probably makes me sound really horrible...I just hate opportunistic, grasping rip-off artists.....vape related or otherwise....

Sounds like he's trying to make the big buck before the big bang ghostrider1971

I agree and there are too many greedy bstrds in the game but plenty of good ones as well.
Used boldvapes again today. Although I know they are b&m they are also great to deal with online and I find always reasonably priced

I wouldn't have had a 2nd visit unless it was the very last resort, I would however consider patrolling outside the shop with a sandwich board or leaflets showing some fairer UK vendors prices for the same kit, if I didn't have too many other thing to do.

No rest for the wicked.

Not true, I'm off to bed soon.

My local B&M charge £20 for 50ml of their own brand ejuice. Glad I don't have to shop there.

I charge myself about £6.00 for 100ml of my own brand juice.

£6.00 vs £40.00

Not difficult to work that one out.

Certainly gives a feeling of achievement djs when extracting a fresh 100ml bottle from the steep cupboard. Managing to achieve a £34 saving on the bottle is awesome.

You were stitched up Dave, I charge myself less then £3 for 100 ml.

Looks like VapingBad has just started a homebrew price war.

I know, but I pay House Elves above the minimum wage to mix my stuff while I get a Thai massage.

lol I got down to 2.5p per mill with a 50% discount on flavouring a while back and buy nic etc in bulk, but normally (I bought a years worth) I have to settle for the outrageous expense of 3.8 p per mill.  (5 mg btw)

As the other face of the same coin, I recently visited my local go-to vape shop (one of four, spaced out around the county, all great shops and carrying a good stock of realistically priced vape gear and juice), and had a peek in their bargain bin. Plumped for 2 x 30ml bottles of 0mg juice, their own recipe, and bought for a tenner. Sure they are trying to get shot of the larger bottle sizes before the TPD strikes, but I thought this was a bargain.
The juices with nic in, from 3mg to 18mg, were all the same price, BTW!

Dunno about homebrew price war, recon im around 20-30p per 10ml too..but what are these 100ml bottles of which you speak?? I usually mix a 300 ml bottle at a time )
