Tried some of my juices yesterday, that have been sitting in the wardrobe, some I really liked and others not so good from Alchemists Cupboard, Chefs Vapour & Trip Hammer

The ones I liked were: from AC Coffee w/cream & sugar, from CV SpottedDick&Custard, Banoffee Cookie Dough & Jamaican Ginger and TH Cream Egg, Tiger Stripe & Treacle Sponge.

The ones I was not keen on were AC Ginger Snaps, Gran's Treacle Tart & Pina Colada and CV Orange Custard Creams

Oh and received small parcel from Focalecig yesterday which included a FAKE Kanger PT3, everything about looked really kosher, the box, the cards inside but when i checked out the serial with Kanger it had 1282 hits on that one, and an Atomo mod ruined one of my batteries, some of the metal from the threading process was still inside the tube, so won't be doing business with them anymore.

Speaking of customs charges, my last order from Zeus juice, when it came through, it had the sticker on it to say duty and handling fee payable. Just over a quid on duty and 8 quid handling fee :ohmy: I was at work when it arrived, the Wife didn't pay the fees and neither did my Step Son. Result, RM had forgotten to charge me the fees :laugh: I'm wondering if I should let them know they've missed out on payment :evil:

Never been charged on juice, thought it was classed as foodstuffs so zero rated for VAT, at least until they decide to regulate it and re-classify it, then we might have to pay Duty and VAT.

Anyway, the woofers would come looking for the cheese & hot dogs! They were bad enough with the Jamaican ginger ..they thought I had some cake or biscuits

I was vaping away on Banoffee Cookie Dough last night and the Cat got up and moved further away :laugh: obviously didn't like Bananas.

What annoys me is that RM won't deliver the parcel until you have paid for it, don't know about UPS
Probably their way of trying to justify charging us £8 for the privilege!
I can't remember how UPS took payment, but I seem to think I wrote a cheque when they arrived with it. Long time ago now.

That's interesting. Two of my favourite (so far) CV ones in your favourites - plus I've got the Banoffee one coming hopefully Tuesday.
I'm not sure about the Orange Custard Creams one either ...something about the 'orange' but it's still uncannily like a custard cream!

With T.H and AC, they have PG in them, so I'm unlikely to try any more of those but the Coffee one sounds rather nice! ...Treacle Sponge too!

I got some Evod clearomisers a few weeks ago for £2 each, but I've tried 2 and they give off a horrible taste even after I soaked them overnight & washed them!
I've had a couple of unbranded ones that are perfectly fine, but not these so far!

Ah! I hadn't thought about that ...just ordered 2 VirginVapor sample packs last night and was thankful to see the £ conversion just under £15! Shipping only $7, so happy with that to enable me to try them.

Looks like cats don't like bananas then ..can't say the same for our woofs! :)

It's a very nice way to eat lamb. I first had it at a restaurant in Wimbledon owned by a lovely Greek/Cypriot couple. He was out at the meat and vegetable markets at the crack of dawn every day, and then started the slow cooking of the Kleftico!

I tried VV because they do have an option for 100% VG. Have you had any of them?

I have three Vapology but it has PG in it. The Black Forest didn't have a lot of taste after a week, but I do like the Cappuccino. I've still got the Very Berry Cool to try some time soon too.

LT and CV have been the best so far :) Have a couple of nice Johnsons Creek Red Oak (VG) too.

I got the kit from Myepack £19.99 - good price. Got a spare tank too. Mini Protank 2 Kit SS

Can`t say i have tried any from vv Trish ! How are you getting on with your protank ?

Treacle Sponge too!

I have been vaping that one too, and i am not overly impressed by it. It doesn`t come any where near the SD&C from chefs. Only my opinion of course, but i think it is bordering on the bland side.

I was expecting a biscuit aftertaste, but could only taste the Orange and nothing else

PG doesn't really bother me and of course is the flavour carrier, but given the option I tend to veer towards 50/50, have you tried CVs Caramel Cappuccino, deffo my ADV of choice.

Hope you like them, I didn't, sent off for Butter Cream Mint, Kona Velvet Milkshake and Root Beer Float and out of 10 I gave them 4, 3 & 2, and I don't know how many mls were in the sample bottles but they were small slim glass bottles, and his site deals in US fl.oz which means a little bit of conversion to work out if they are worth it

I must be getting too old now, I was dragged up in the pre decimal period, but most of my life has been in the decimal period, and I just have problems now dealing with the old imperial measures, and of course the Americans always have to be different to the rest of the world, with their measures.

Cats are very fussy, whereas Dogs will eat anything and everything :rolleyes:

Seems fine for now! :) Be interesting to see how the coil in it copes with the Jamaican Ginger though ...the small clearomiser I tried it in soon gunked up. I like it so much, I don't much mind for the time being.

What's that ...Treacle sponge? I hate it when they sound and smell great and are a let down on taste.
CV seem to be pretty good at getting good flavour.

Be interesting to try those VV ones - Drunken Pirate! (dark plum/fruit pudding), Black Cherry Marshmallow, Kona Velvet Milkshake, Maple French Toast, Vanilla Blackberry and Double Espresso. Can choose any three per sample pack.
All sound rather tasty, but remains to be seen. Should be not far of ready to use by the time they get here! :)

Yep the one from trip hammer, i just had another sniff at the bottle and there isn`t even much smell there.:( It will soon be sent on to ian, with two others, with my pleasure. I won`t be giving THEM any more of my cash.:(

I taste Orange buttercream and biscuit, but not sure I like the orange buttercream taste. It's sort of OK.

PG doesn't really bother me and of course is the flavour carrier, but given the option I tend to veer towards 50/50, have you tried CVs Caramel Cappuccino, deffo my ADV of choice.
PG in flavouring doesn't seem to bother me, but any more certainly does after a few days.
I love the CV Caramel Cappuccino, and I like the Lews Brew too - plus they also mix together nicely! I got 30mls in both of those.

Hope you like them, I didn't, sent off for Butter Cream Mint, Kona Velvet Milkshake and Root Beer Float and out of 10 I gave them 4, 3 & 2, and I don't know how many mls were in the sample bottles but they were small slim glass bottles, and his site deals in US fl.oz which means a little bit of conversion to work out if they are worth it
Well I ordered the Kona Velvet Milkshake, but as you'll see in my reply to Terry, got some other different ones. I'd only wonder if I didn't try them. I was mostly the Kona one, Drunken Pirate, Maple French Toast & Marshmallow ones that caught my eye. The others do sound nice though ...we'll just have to see!
Imagine: Maple French Toast in one hand, Double Espresso in the other! ;) Breakfast!

Those little bottles are 1.8oz or 4.3ml - not cheap, but I was keen to try them. I'm not fond of glass bottles though!

I must be getting too old now, I was dragged up in the pre decimal period, but most of my life has been in the decimal period, and I just have problems now dealing with the old imperial measures, and of course the Americans always have to be different to the rest of the world, with their measures.
I was brought up pre-decimal too. Seeing my work deals with both types of measurement, I'm pretty much ok with inches/cm etc., not too bad with kilos/lbs. but not that clued up on liquid conversion.
The currency rates change that often, I'm glad of the online conversion sites!
I do have friends and colleagues in the US too, so quite used to them discussing things in imperial measurements - as long as it's not liquid ..can't get my head around quarts!

Cats are very fussy, whereas Dogs will eat anything and everything :rolleyes:
I always think of cats as being fickle & discerning :) Our two dogs are very different: one not at all motivated by food mostly, the other adores bread and salad and will steal both given the chance. She loves fruit too and eats two pears every night!

Shame they aren't as good as they were, but as they say: nuttin stays the same! :(
Can you not add some flavouring or a bit of another liquid to it such as caramel?

I don`t have anything that would mix with it trish, but ian will have so it will be more use to him. I could save it and try mixing it with the SD&C, but i reckon it would just spoil a really tasty liquid.

well off for my lamb now, chat later.:) The mutt is enjoying her bone. :D

Quite agree with that - Spottedick far too nice and not for mixing! :)
I have a couple of nice but fairly simple tobacco ones that aren't strongly flavoured, so find them really good for adding to: orange, cherry, caramel etc. Using Gold ducat with Black Cherry at the moment, and rather nice.

Apart from that tobacco mix, I'm using the Strawberry Vapetto today, and also some Jamaican at times, and the Vapetto isn't troubling me so far! Toes crossed!

In a way, I'm not looking forward to trying the Spottedick though in case it turns out to be one giving me the problems!

I had a small 5ml bottle of the LT Caramel Deluxe - to me, a really nice but strong caramel! I may use the rest with something else to just tone it down a bit ...sort of catches the back of my throat :)

Can almost smell that lamb!
We're having a cheese and beef pasta bake today, with some Belgian chocolate torte & cream to follow! That part is a bit of a treat.
Funny I've never found a good and authentic tasting chocolate liquid yet! Something like those Belgian chocolate cherry liqueurs would be nice!

And very nice it was Trish :D Speaking of authenticity, i am the same with tobacco liquids, and i have tried quite a few. The gold ducat was okay along with fortuna strike, I have also got the moors and hardly touched it. Most of the tobacco`s are just a bit to rich in the flavour if you know what i mean, Too complex and deep for me to REALLY enjoy.

I am vaping the juicy fruity right now, and as i said it is the best of a bad bunch IMHO but i think i will keep hold of this one.:)

well i just placed another order at LT. I got 4 x 10 ml of...Lemonade 18mg, tiramisu 20mg, orange 20mg, and caramel 20mg. I got the caramel to mix with my tobacco liquids, including the trip y4 which is already supposed to have caramel in it. NOPE, well i can`t taste it anyway.:confused:

EDIT: damn, i forgot to add the discount code :( Which is UKV10

I don't go for the more intense ones, but do like the warm, fruity/caramel/honey type ones.
My favourites from LT are 7 Leaves, Dark Fire, Kent, Nangka. Of the menthol or 'cool' tobaccos, I like Cool Don Hilary, Cool Moors & Cool Cuban. I'm tempted to The Moors standard one at some point perhaps, but got quite enough to be sifting through for now :)
Even a little Amaretto or almond, citrus or red fruits can be nice with tobaccos. I like the Gold Ducat, but like it better with some Black Cherry in it!
I haven't tried my Cherry Cigar yet!

I try to remember to look on LT's home page each week because if he's made some new ones, there's the 5ml samples mentioned there in a small central paragraph.

Another you could perhaps make a little more flavoursome by adding a bit of something you don't mind using.

I have those (the caramel is the 'ultra' in a 5ml sample size). Just got the Tiramisu and it's good but needs to sit a while, as does the Black Magic and Pinacolada.
Hope you like the Lemonade and the Orange too. I like a little bit of the Orange with some tobaccos or even a coffee one sometimes ..goes a long way too as it's quite a good flavoured one.
Can add a few drops of a cream or vanilla flavouring to it too. (I got a few of the TPA cream &vanilla ones that have no known irritant additives).
I'll likely be using that Caramel Ultra up with tobaccos or even plain coffee ones.

EDIT: damn, i forgot to add the discount code Which is UKV10
Easily done! LT10 works too.

Sorry i messed up a bit with the quotes there :p I think a bit of ian`s blackcurrant or berry mix would do the trick with these fruity ones, but if i am honest i will just let ian have them, because he is very good at sending me nice juices to try out.:D

I have that one on the order due to arrive soon, and looking forward to trying it! :)

I've been using Strawberry Vapetto today and had a few mildly tight feeling spells by this evening with a little breathlessness ..not a lot, but enough to notice.
I'm leaning towards the strawberry flavour being the problem with this because the Johnsons Creek Red Oak Merango (strawberry) makes me noticeably short of breath too!
Not sure what the 'Vapetto' part consists of but it doesn't seem to be strongly custard vanilla flavours.

I really like the Strawberry Vapetto, but think I may get away with using it occasionally rather than regularly.

I'll be using the Spottedick tomorrow and I'm so hoping that one doesn't have a similar effect on me!

I do hate that I get this irritation, but hopefully I'll be able to identify which to avoid eventually.

Is the vapetto 100 % vg trish ?
