A few people have emailed me in regards to the price of eJuice available in the world compared to the price of buying your eJuice in Australia.

Along the lines of "I can get if from X place in the US, their prices are better and I get it with nicotine".

There are a few things that you should probably take into consideration before being lead up the garden path by the people that think this way.

Rather than think about the prices of things and comparing their price, you need to start thinking of the overall cost.

In Australia we do things a little differently. We are forced into this course of action through Federal Government Policy and existing Legislation.

There is no changing this! To play this game you need to play the cards that are dealt.

Comparison

Australia = Nicotine is illegal to sell or supply

US = eJuice able to be purchased legally with nicotine

UK = eJuice able to be purchased legally with nicotine

China = Still cheaper to smoke cigarettes

______________________________________________________________

So you get the idea that our situation is not like that of the US or the UK.

We do things a little differently here, whether or not that is evolution or simple adaptation to the guidelines given. There is no "simple" comparison with either the US or the UK in regards to Price or Cost.

price, noun, verb, priced, pric-ing

The sum or amount of money or its equivalent for which anything is bought, sold or offered for sale

Here are our "comparison" eJuice suppliers and I went with some of the big guns, lets look at the prices here....

Pink Spot Vapors -$15.95USD/20ml or $0.80c/1ml vapeable eJuice

Alien Visions eJuice - $6.97USD/12ml or $0.58c/1ml vapeable eJuice

Gourmet Vapors - $10.35USD/15ml or $0.69c/1ml Vapeable eJuice

IKV RY4 - $9.99USD/20ml or $0.50c/1ml Vapeable eJuice

Backwoods Brew - $6.50USD/10ml or $0.65/1ml Vapeable eJuice

Cauldron-eJuice - $9.50AUD/20ml or $0.47c/1ml Vapeable eJuice

______________________________________________________________

I am going to run some very basic calculations below so that you can see how I work this out

______________________________________________________________

Cauldron-eJuice Doubler - $7.00AUD/10ml 100% eJuice Doubler or $0.70c/ml of eJuice Doubler

Suppose a 50%PG-50%VG Blended vapeable eJuice at 18mg is required to mix

US supplied nicotine 120ml of 36mgVG Nicotine delivered is $29.68USD or $0.25c/1ml

Add 10ml of Cauldron-eJuice Doubler to 10ml of 36mgVG Nicotine for am 18mg eJuice.

Here it comes....

$0.70/2 x 20 + $0.25 x 10 = $9.50AUD/20ml or $0.475c/ml of vapeable Cauldron-eJuice

______________________________________________________________

I know I can be confusing at times, but it is as easy as adding 10ml of Doubler to 10ml of Nicotine to get the price of an Australian made, 20ml of eJuice.

______________________________________________________________

Now that we know the price, let's look at the cost....

cost, cost-ed, cost-ing. noun, verb

The price paid to acquire, produce, accomplish, or maintain anything. A sacrifice, loss or penalty.

______________________________________________________________

I am going to keep this one relative short

The cost needs to take into consideration, some things you can put a price on and others you can not.

International Shipping Charges

Running the Customs gauntlet

The timeframe for International Shipping

The ability to tailor the strength of Nicotine

The ability to tailor the strength of Flavour

The ability to tailor the ratio/content of PG or VG

As I said, there are some things that you can not put a price on

So add up the costs (in definition, I refer specifically to the word "sacrifice") listed above and add that to the prices that we have already worked out.

We were ahead to start with, once you add the costs we will be even further ahead.

Support Cauldron-eJuice. The cost of not having local eJuice suppliers far outweighs the "perceived" and now unproven cost differentials on a per bottle basis of buying your eJuice outside the country.
