They don't let you fill it like crazy. Ask someone that bought it and got the refill.

The product only costs them a minute fraction of what they are charging.

I really doubt they are losing a dime. With what they charge you to refill it probably covers what it actually cost to make it and I would bet the majority of people never finish the first 22ozs.

I think Calgary once mentioned that you could refill it as many times as you want.

To the consumer it is the same, because it costs $100 ish in shipping. But I will wait for Calgary to chime in.

if I'd buy (not that I would even if i could) a 2k wax, I wouldn't care at all for a mere 150$ for s/h for a refill.

Plus insurance for 2k is not cheap either. Plus it's not a small item too
