Nice. What are you getting per bottle if you don't mind me asking?

$10/15mL

$15/30mL

My excel calculator isn't exact quite yet (due to different flavors costing a little less/more), but Strawberry Yum Yum costs me ~$1.93/30mL and Blueberry Yum Yum costs me ~$1.86/30mL to make.

Therefore I'm making about $13.10 per 30mL bottle.

Nice. I sell mine wholesale and only get $3.40/15mL :(

Wow, I guess I'm really nice to my friends. I just charge $5/30ml and don't offer smaller sizes.

I do charge my friend less. He told his own buddies about my juice and that's the price I sell them at. I believe it to be reasonable. Actually based off of Scott at DBLiquids pricing.

Use the comprehensive calculator in the side bar. I think it's the third one. If you take the time to set it up, it can track absolutely everything. Ingredients cost, supply, vendor, weight, etc.

It is so damn useful but takes a while to set up. But it literally does everything for you. Including telling you exactly what your recipe will cost you.

I think I looked at that once, but since I run a Mac, I couldn't use it without running a virtual machine. That's why I came up with my own, and you're right, it takes forever to set up in excel.

You need labels. Those things look like bootleg flea market juice. Unprofessional...

Good thing I'm not a professional.

I'm not actively marketing my juice. If someone says "hey I like that, can I buy some?" I'll make it. If I had a full on business I'd get a labeler. This was quicker for now.

Ahh I see. When you said fullfilled orderes I thought u meant selling professionally. I apologize if I sounded like a dick.

Sorry if my post came across as such. I originally had the word "order" in quotes, because I am not a vendor or even want to be at this point. My buddy and his friends just liked these two flavors and wanted to have some more.

I laughed at bootleg flea market juice though, because you are right. I was going to print out some nice looking labels but I ran out of time, and don't have a printer at home.

What recipes did you use on the juice? They sound yummy

My recipes are here: http://dot1ml.com/recipes/user/markmiller30

Nothing special. They like it, so I make it...

Thanks to everyone who posts here and got me into DIY. I lurk around a bit, and experiment with recipes. I've made a Blueberries and Cream that my buddy loved and made a strawberry one to go with it. He asked to order more for him and his friends, and I was happy to oblige.

That being said, there is quite a profit margin on eJuice. I price mine below local B&M's and I still get nice profits. I created an excel document that tell's me exactly how much margin I'm getting per recipe.

Makes me want to tinker more and more to create a business/webiste, but I'm not sure I want to get in that deep.

Where did you get the large flavors?

Directly from TFA's website. Sign up for a wholesale account and the 4oz. sizes are around $6-$9.
