Is it really that easy?

So iv been doing a lot of research on this topic because I figure at one point it will be better to brew my own because I'll know exactly what it is and it will not be under doses or bunk, unless I get schemed on the raws.

But is it really as easy as I think it is

Mix BA and raws, and BB if needed. Then add carrier oil. And maybe use a little heat to help dissolve. And filter....

I'm paying 900% mark up for that process? Really?
 
Really is that easy. a little bit to buy like scales and beakers syringes sterile vials and filters but it's fun
 
Seems like it's 3-5 for the raws and vials. And I'm paying 30-40 for a vial depending on source at the moment

This is great news. I thought it was gonna be way more complicated. I did this shit in school basically. I'm stoked.
Been looking at raw prices and it's crazy how cheap they are compared to pre made
 
900% mark up from a $5 vial would be $4,500.00, lol.


I know you weren't being literal. I'm just playing around.

Markup percentage = gross profit margin / unit cost * 100

where gross profit margin = sales price - unit cost

So if it costs $5 to make and a UGL sells it for $40 then the gross profit margin = 40 - 5 = $35

Markup percentage = $35 / $5 * 100 = 700%
 
Markup percentage = gross profit margin / unit cost * 100

where gross profit margin = sales price - unit cost

So if it costs $5 to make and a UGL sells it for $40 then the gross profit margin = 40 - 5 = $35

Markup percentage = $35 / $5 * 100 = 700%
That's exactly my point.


Lol.
 
I was just pulling numbers out of the air but it's cool to know my subconscious is kinda smart lol

Once I do more research and get a line on quality raws I'm definitely gonna invest in the set up. It just seems so worth it. I'm in the middle of a move still but maybe instead of buying my next cycle I'll get the good ol kitchen lab going lmao

A 900% markup On a 5$ vial would be 50$ vial. I don't know how you came up with the $4500 number except for multiplying $5 X 900% which isn't correct.
 
Brewing was a bit of a process for me but I didn't mind all that much. I can see how corners will be cut for profit, putting the consumer at risk for infection, underdosed gear, etc. It's worth it. Distillation gives me the same feeling as brewing aas. I loved science growing up and doing little things like aas brewing, distillation, making a flame thrower or a gatling potato gun have kept me loving it well into my adult life.
