I don’t think there’s any difference in quality. Prices of commodities varies from country to country based on many factors... we need an economist here as I am no expert in the field.

The DiY VG, PG, Nicotine etc we can only buy in UK is the exact same quality as juice manufacturers use. Looking on that site, how unbelievably cheap all the e-liquid ingredients are yet your manufactured juice is so expensive compared to the UK i would be suspicious they are not the same quality. Either that's the case or your juice manufacturers are disgustingly greedy and taking the p**s, it's one or the other!
Heavy prep underway, have a Potjie competition starting at 12. We are 5 households having a virtual comp, each with a theme, team and Potjie name.
SWAMBO and I got Domestic Violence as a themethese random generators are screwy. But no problem. Team Ike and Tina, and our Potjie is a Moer-By-Pot named: 'I don't want to fight'
Time to light the fire!

This was lush, need to get DIY head on and come up with some similar e-liquid, not a coolant fan though so maybe something along the lines of a Banana Custard with Bavarian Cream and Honey! Any ideas?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas... 
Stew and dumplings can't be beat, love adding a good splash of Tabasco on a Winters night!
We got 2nd place in the Potjie comp, winning team did Mad Max theme.
Disturbing news - The Citizen /Rapport 05/04
In the projections of a US consultancy firm, it reports that South Africa’s Covid-19 cases may only peak by June, making it feasible that lockdown would end in August.
While South Africa approaches the middle of its 21-day lockdown, it has emerged that lockdown may have to be extended by between two and four months.
According to Rapport, these projections were made by US business consultancy firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
In BCG’s projections, it reports that South Africa’s Covid-19 cases may only peak by June, making it feasible that lockdown would end in August.

An SA Police Service member attached to the visible policing division in Pretoria has tested positive for the coronavirus.
AfriForum said in a statement on Thursday that the Gauteng provincial police department had refused to accept hand sanitiser from minority rights body AfriForum.
This while a major police officer had to be evacuated and sanitised after a police employee in a Pretoria SAPS office tested positive for Covid-19.
The Office of the Divisional Commissioner in Arcadia, Pretoria, has now been shut down until 7 April.

Informative. I'm not too trusting of foreign financial 'superpowers' at the moment though.
Look at how the US has forced the companies producing stuff to divert and hold stock within the US. An example is the covid test kit- the only other supplier is Switzerland. The US labs have been given quotas to meet for internal consumption, meaning they pretty much cant export. Same with masks, shipments have been diverted to the US.
This virus is turning into a numbers game. I forsee two major powers emerging. Everybody else will be collateral damage.
Fines:
“For example, failure to confine oneself to his or her place of residence, a fine of R1 500 is applicable for a first-time offender, and a fine of R5 000 for any gathering of more than 50 people. No admission of guilt for second and repeat offenders,” Louw-Mjonondwane said.The Citizen

What is VG used for, other than vape juice?
I don't understand how they can even allow a gathering of 50 people! I know that it's for funerals, but do they think that if the gathering is limited to an arbitrary number of 50, there will magically be no chance of the virus spreading if just one person has it??
Vegetable glycerin is widely used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
For instance, it is often added to foods to help oil and water-based ingredients mix, sweetening or moistening the final product.
It can be also used to prevent ice crystals from forming in frozen foods, such as low-fat frozen yogurt, ice cream and other desserts.
Glycerin is a common ingredient in pharmaceutical drugs, including heart medication, suppositories, cough remedies and anesthetics.
Additionally, you can find vegetable glycerin in toothpaste, as it helps prevent the toothpaste from drying out or hardening in the tube.
What’s more, it’s commonly added to soaps, candles, lotions, deodorants and makeup.

So with a most likely extension of this lockdown (3 months according to Rapport but not confirmed) we might have another problem.
