I just got 6 x 10ml bottles of Vapemate VG flavoured liquid to try. I got 1.2mg nicotine and double strength flavour.

The bottles are dark blue glass and come with a small syringe for each bottle.
There's a screw cap that reveals a plastic drip type plug (no nozzle), but the syringe doesn't fit into the hole in the plug, so I'm assuming it's necessary to remove the plastic plug in order to draw the liquid into the syringe, and I couldn't get the liquid to drip properly through the plug either.
Taking that plastic plug out is a bit messy and does of course waste a little of the liquid that's accumulated on it's underside. Drawing some liquid into a syringe and transferring it to clearomisers is easy enough, but again, the syringe needs to be wiped after use, thus wasting a little more liquid.
Just seems a messy business to me after the other brands I've tried have little nozzles on plastic bottles. I'm wondering if I missed something with the use of these glass bottles.
To be honest, to keep it less messy I removed a plastic plug and gently poured the liquid into the clearomisers with no problem.

As for the flavours, I've only tried three so far: The Chocolate Custard Pie and Bavarian Cream are really nice, and have given me no breathing problems and no sore eyes or sore mouth. (Yesterday I had a sore mouth/gums after using Liberty-Flights XO tobacco Vanilla).
My search for a good coffee flavour led me to try two of the Vapemate, and so far, I've tried the Caramel Cappuccino: it smells and tastes awful to me ..a sort of cloying, dirty, burnt coffee taste. I've left the bottle open all day and will close it and put it in a cupboard for a while to see if it improves.
I have Espresso yet to try, and it does smell cleaner, and more like coffee so I'll try it soon.
The other two I got are Custard and Cherry Brandy - both smell nice, so again, I'll see how they are when I try them.
I've also ordered two of their Menthol types and the VM tobacco.

I don't use them, no. They also don't get any exposure on the UK forums I participate on. (NEVER a good sign....)

The prices are not great and they seem to be one of those companies that invents names for stuff

Flare, Deluxe, Aurora... oh dear. Far more expensive than necessary as well.

Why pay £4.99 for liquid when companies offer UK made liquid with proven ingredients from £2.40?

I replied to this earlier ...or thought I had! must have got distracted and closed without posting!

Anyway, good points re that company.
I ended up binning the bottle of Caramel Cappuccino and the clearomiser I'd tried it in - terrible!
Still, the Chocolate Custard Pie & Bavarian Cream seem nice and have given me no problems so far.

I saw another thread somewhere about Hangseng/Dekang liquid at £1.50 per sample bottle, and as Dekang is only 20% PG, thought it worth a try for occasional use or perhaps diluted a bit with a bland VG one (Eco Pure Regular), so got 4 to try. Postage costs pretty good too.
While on the site I saw deal of the day: Evod starter kit for £18.99. (Mister-Ecig).

There's more to all this stuff than meets the eye! :blink:

Pictor, did you get around to trying the Vapemate Cherry Brandy fluid?
I got some a couple of weeks ago while noodling around trying to find decent booze flavoured juices and I'd be interested to hear what you thought of that specific one.
Been looking to see if I can find it ...think I may have thrown it out. They were in a stronger nicotine than I use now, and that one didn't smell right straight away so I set it aside to steep. Now I can't find it! :laugh:
Sorry! ...what did you think of it?
 
I tried the cherry brandy when I first got it, and again after a week in a drawer just to be fair, and on both occasions the strongest identifiable flavour in there, and I don't think I'm being unkind here, was bile.
That's right, bile.
It was so odd. If they'd actually set out to simulate that particular flavour, they'd done a cracking job.
So, I wouldn't go looking any further for it if I were you :)
Shame really, I liked the idea of it. Not entirely sure how it could have gone so drastically wrong.

Thanks! It wasn't just me then :) If something smells awful, I find it hard to go back to it - I suspect it's either in a box under my desk, or went into the big green wheeled receptacle outside! :laugh:

If you really fancy the idea of cherry brandy then Vapist also do one...

Cherry Brandy 'On Ice'

I havent tried it myself, but everything else i have had from Vapist has been really good quality. I think it's sold out at the moment, but when it comes back on sale could be worth a try. If you wanted a higher/lower nic content or higher/lower PG/VG mix then you can go to the 'custom' section and choose your own levels for any of the available liquids.
