No, that is just the sweet cream trisha. As you already know i love it mixed with their coffee, and most recently found out that it also marries very well with the lemon bar, so to me that says it will go with most anything, thats the reason i want to stock up. :)
Same reason I get 100ml bottles of ABC and confusion! :) They do mix with anything, but a cream one would add an extra dimension for me too!
I'll probably get some of that and the lemon and blue moo once I get this work out of the way. Few weeks! :)

I have found Rons juice supply and he has got a half full 30ml bottle of grants vanilla custard but it is black so it must be well steeped I have sniffed it and it smells great

It really is good tom, sure he won`t mind if you try a few ml :)

And don`t forget the coffee :laugh:

If it really is the best juice I had better leave it alone then as he wont be to happy if I vape it while he is in a coma I have found a few other custards though
Bazilla

electronic cigarette depot
Chefs ABC
now what should I try

Apart from the GVC, the only other custard i have tried is chefs ABC, and that gets a big thumbs up tom.

I've only had the ABC from that list, and it's a milder custard than the Grants.
Steamgunk and Nicoticket have good custards, and I have both. Never done a direct comparison with the Grants though.

Terry's right, Ron wouldn't begrudge a few ml! :)

And don`t forget the coffee :laugh:
Ah, yes! the coffee. No worries, I'll probably check I've got the right ones before placing an order! :laugh:

I agree with that!
The Chefs, NT and SG are all slightly different, and all decent. ...as is Grants.

Some people say one of the others is as good as or better than Grants ..all depends on how we taste these things and likely what equipment we use too.

I agree with Terry, I'm sure Ron won't mind too much, and he will have plenty to laugh about reading through his messages when he gets better.

I don't 'do' pink either, I have a purple, red, orange, black, blue ones in colours - shame they don't 'do' a turquoise which has always been my 'fav', probably down to me being a November baby :lol:
taken the plunge and put my name down for the Pre-Order, but with China on holiday 1-7 Oct don't suppose I'll see that or my small FT order much before the end of next month.

Didn't see anything about an 'in stock' estimate as it is Pre-Order, which usually means they will order a few more than how many are Pre-Ordered

I just found these in stock: Eleaf iStick Express Kit With Ego Adapter

For those of you interested (I know Trish was interested in Black Mamba) I've reached conclusions on those concentrates I got from Chefs Vapour.

Pink Spot Black Mamba - Had to go up to 17.5% but think I'll stop there. Really nice and realistic fruit (not too sweet), mainly blackcurrant with some cranberry and maybe other berries.
Mom and Pops Krunchberry - Love this. Never had the actual cereal but really delicious vape. Milky biscuity sweet berries. Probably my favourite of this lot of concentrates.
Mom and Pops Apple Pie - Pretty good. Was described as having a hint of cinnamon but I found it strongly cinnamony. Not unpleasant just having trouble getting a really appley taste out of it. The cinnamon also makes my mouth a bit dry and tingly so I suspect I might make this one weaker next time.

CV Twisted and Fluffy Nuts I already loved and the concentrates work fine. Twisted has been my all day vape in my kayfun at work all this week and been very nice.
CV Lew's Brew - Good, I like this but it's not exactly what I expected, I guess it's difficult to make a really realistic coffee flavour, or it's just me as I like my coffee very strong. Not one for every day but I still like it.
CV Jungle Juice - Really nice, mostly banana with other fruits in the background. Can't vape it all day (tried it in the kayfun) as it gets a bit samey or too bananay but really nice all the same.

Also have finally gotten the inawera RY4 strong enough to taste and it's quite good. I don't often feel like a tobacco vape these days and never liked strong ashy tobaccos anyway so this will do nicely for those times I feel the need, especially with a coffee on a warm day (although I think we've seen the last of those warm days up here in Scotland for a while now).

Have conceded that LT Heritage (raspberry) isn't going to cut it for me, tastes like I imagine eating a raspberry bush might, kinda leafy but not fruity enough. Sooo I've ordered some inawera raspberry to try (along with some other inawera flavours, direct from inawera as they were cheaper than buying them from LT). Might keep adding Ethyl Maltol to the heritage until it's just a generic sweet vape, or try it with other fruits added.

One of my FT orders has landed in heathrow so should be here early next week. I haven't found China Post to be quicker than Singapore Post (my other china post FT package hasn't reached heathrow yet). Also the tracking is in Chinese until it reaches the UK and when translated doesn't really help that much either.

Not sure about the Mamba - for me it could possibly be better with a cream
Krunchberry does sound good (Nicoticket had a similar short run: Bedrock and it was popular - it's now here Bedrock - Big Red Vapor )
Recently found apple to be a troublesome fruit for me, and anything more than a small hint of cinnamon definitely gives me problems: can make my gums bleed!

CV Twisted and Fluffy Nuts I already loved and the concentrates work fine. Twisted has been my all day vape in my kayfun at work all this week and been very nice.
CV Lew's Brew - Good, I like this but it's not exactly what I expected, I guess it's difficult to make a really realistic coffee flavour, or it's just me as I like my coffee very strong. Not one for every day but I still like it.
CV Jungle Juice - Really nice, mostly banana with other fruits in the background. Can't vape it all day (tried it in the kayfun) as it gets a bit samey or too bananay but really nice all the same.
Fluffy Nuts had little flavour for me - not something I'd use again
Twisted is lovely ..especially with a little Koolada in it! Just like having the real thing. Can't use it all day - lime is another irritant for me, but not too bad.
I like Lews Brew, but usually mix it with their Caramel Cappuccino. I can also add it to something like Long Shift to give it an alternative taste.
Jungle Juice - again, some fruit that doesn't agree, and banana always sounds good until I use it! I love a real banana cream pie, but in a liquid, it's a bit cloying!

Also have finally gotten the inawera RY4 strong enough to taste and it's quite good. I don't often feel like a tobacco vape these days and never liked strong ashy tobaccos anyway so this will do nicely for those times I feel the need, especially with a coffee on a warm day (although I think we've seen the last of those warm days up here in Scotland for a while now).

I like the CV RY, and the Steamgunk RY.
When I asked Lew at CV which raspberry was the most natural, he said Capella and also Inawera for it's economical use.

:laugh: Yep and i will putting another order in @ chefs later on. I have just been looking at the reviews for the long shift ! I never knew you once lived near a brewery trish. :lol:
Plenty of people live near, or not far from breweries ....more so in the era I'm thinking back a long way to! Never forgot the smell of warm malt & hops though! :)
Never forgot the smell of the wool mill I passed by when visiting an aunt with my Dad either - that was a terrible smell! :(

I think people take different things from a lot of liquids depending on personal taste and equipment used, particularly something like Long Shift which I suspect is a fairly complex mix.
Oddly enough though, one of our sons was here last week, and remarked that there was an unusual smell compared to what I usually use ...when asked to describe it he was puzzled until I mentioned malt & hops ...he agreed right away.
My Dad often brewed a beer at home too, so we were all used to that rich smell.
I'd actually been using it with some Lews Brew & ABC in it too.

Yes they do give off a lovely smell trish, i agree with that. I can imagine that the wool mill smelt pretty awful as well, i can`t remember what it is they use to treat it, but it could be something like amonia which as you know has got a terrible stink. I remember brewing some beer years ago when i still lived with my parents, and after bottling it put it in the loft to ferment.

A few days later all we could hear was bang pop pop bang :laugh: The corks were all blowing out, smelt lovely up there for months. :p

I think it was a place that prepared raw wool and perhaps even had a dyeing mill attached somewhere. The smell was the stuff they used (possibly ammonia) to boil & clean all the dirt and fat off the wool .....it stank! Definitely a nasty smell, and the one part of visiting my aunt & uncle that I hated.
I think this may be the mill, as we would walk up a narrow winding road, past the mill (over a bridge if I recall properly, and up onto the moor to their cottage.

:laugh: Dad became quite good at it ..I seem to remember it being quite a sharp tasting beer though. He did some rather good red wine too - not to be consumed by the bottle as it was fairly powerful stuff!

Not too bad meself trish, i made some barley wine once, again when still with my parents, and when i was courting the missus. After spending the evening with my family and girlfriend, i decided to get some of the barley wine out for a night cap.

mum wasn`t too interested, dad and me bird had a couple of small glasses, and i had a couple of pints :laugh: What a mistake that was :ohmy: I walked her home across a local golf club, in the pitch black, so far so good, but coming back home, again on the golf course it kicked in. I was all over the show :laugh: what started off as a white pair of jeans ( I know ! it was the 80`s ) :p Well they were darn near black when i finally got back home.

Dad said i had been gone about 90 minutes, when normally it would only take 30. :facepalm: Needless to say, i treated that barley wine with the respect it deserved after that.

Just ordered 10 ml of the long shift trish, after reading your fantastic review :D And i thought i may as well get another 50 ml of the SD&C while i was there @ 12 mg. At a rough guestimate I will have around 465 ml of liquid when all my orders come in, should keep me going for a while that lot. :)

Oh what a night! ...again, you made me remember the night before I was married! Ugghh! the hangover was horrendous! :laugh: Never touched it since! It's :evil:!

Your Long Shift will be ready steeped, so you'll be able to use it - took restraint not trying mine for 3 weeks! But, I did keep tasting a tiny drop and that lovely toasted flavour was always there :) Got a 30ml steeping nicely now!
I got 50ml of ABC on 19th and it's half gone already! I use it with 20% of NT's Got Cookie! - got through 2 Evod tanks of it today :) (yes, a bit wheezy now!)
I do have some NT on the way - Strawnilla (dilute that with Strawberry Vapetto) - more Got Cookie, and 15ml bottles of Wakonda and Frenilla.
If I add a little bit of Lews Brew & custard to the Long Shift, it's a fair bit like the Wakonda but with less PG!

I think you'd like the H1N1 from NT too! (Spiritus have it and the bottle I got was well steeped from there!) It's very nice!
