Depends on what it is - With the Para Mour for instance, I need to get the VG content up, so I use a little vape Kitchen Juicy Pear & Avant Garde Vanilla or Custard ..both 100%VG
I have a fairly large stash of Nicoticket ones that are 50/50 or 65/35VG, and the ones I have are strongly flavoured enough to stand the 20% plus addition of something suitable - so I now have a good assortment of 100% VG ready made ones, and also the means to make some myself with flavouring & base!
If I just want to add a little something or a boost to flavour, if I have it, I add a few drops of neat flavouring to the tank, and if it works, I add some to the bottle! A poor flavour or weak one can be easily perked up that way.
If I'm sensitive to a particular flavour, I add some ready made or some I make myself - often something compatible or even just custard or vanilla. NT's Band Camp apple pie is lovely, but the apple makes me wheeze ....add a decent percentage of custard and it's still great but doesn't bother me
I know I mentioned Infamous juices from Giant Vapes when I ordered it, but I have just tested all 5 that i got, the only ones I didn't get were the Apple (Original Sin) and Banana (O.G) ones, the rest are fabulous and okay for you as well Trisha as they are Heavy VG and appear to be pre-steeped so good to use immediately:
Bad Santa - Blueberry, Candy Cane, Mint - wasn't sure on this one when I ordered it but 10/10
East Coast VC - Vanilla Custard, Cream 10/10
Tough Cookie - Sugar Cookie, Lemon 10//10
Trill - Blackberry, Strawberry, Custard 10/10
West Coast Chino - Vanilla Custard, Cream, Blueberry 10/10
10% off first order if I remember right using this link (delete the underscores as ecf doesn't like the link) I get 500 points as well:
http://r._sloyalty._com/r/uaoUGy9jOaY0
Shipping for 5 x 30ml + 2 x 30ml Quacks was $22.99 both by USPS and FedEx, I chose the latter as they deliver then ask for the VAT not like RM (I assume I will get asked for it)
I have asked Infamous if they have any European distributors, and Vape Club if they will stock it, so might get some action there.

It all depends on what you like - I love Got Cookie, Strawnilla, Virus (especially fresh), Mah Peeps is new just for Easter & really nice in a delicate
sweetly 'vanilla/marshmallow/creamy' sort of way (will mix with many things too!) I'll order more while the offer is on.
*Wakonda is lovely: a sort of coffee NET/creamy vanilla - read the description on the website, it's pretty good. Like Virus, it can taste slightly different at times, but always good! Neither taste like tobacco. I've just used a bit of neat Wakonda ..lovely! Bit like a creamy latte. (Mine is well steeped from late November)
ACB is very popular and very good, (I got mine when it was made in Max VG-alas no more)
Radioactive is very popular too but I haven't tried it.
Sure Bert is powerful but rather good ...I have to add custard to it or the lime makes me wheeze as it's another fruit that gives me trouble. makes it go further though!)
Raz Cup - some people get the raspberry some don't. It wasn't very strong for me.
Remember, apart from Mah Peeps, I have to mix these with crème brule or custard, and they work well for me that way.
I think I'll try some Betelgeuse this time, and may try the Atlanta if I think I can add to it without spoiling it,
I don't care for cinnamon and it doesn't like me either so GCD and Doodle are out for me.
*That Wakonda I've just been trying ..no wonder I'm feeling like a bright spark ...it's 12mg! (I usually mix it with a zero mg max VG)
Unless there's low stock showing on something you want, take your time - I was chatting to Clark earlier and he said there's plenty of time, and it's not going away just yet!
OK
Both are good, and if you like NET's there's a couple more amongst those.Looking at Flightradar ...our youngest son and his wife are just passing overhead somewhere near you in a 777 bound for JFK NY.
So funny! ...sorry Vince
You'd make a good critic of bad food
I'm guessing you likely won't be placing another order!
I was just about to ask if it was Trip - Was it the Jelly Babies you liked? I know I tried one and liked it, tried a bunch more and found very little to like. Found them lurking in my 'unloved' box when clearing out a few weeks ago ...into the bin!
funny how one will be excellent and the rest either so-so or terrible. The Artist Collection (the four I have) is a 50% OK result for me - Dragonscape terrific.
Para Mour really very good - I need to top it up with a pear/custard mix in VG though, but it doesn't spoil it really.
Samba Sun is mostly clementine's & cream and nice, but I wont buy it again (I add a VG vanilla to it).
Sacre Coeur is disappointing ...should be brilliant by the sound of it, but it's got a very mild flavour ....I can 'fix' it with something though
The fifth one is melon, and not something I like much.
I think the best makers will reign supreme in the coming months - I have a number of good ones from various brands, but for overall quality and exceptionally good flavours, Chefs & NT are reliable and consistent.
I can`t remember which one was just ok Trish, but whatever it was is was nothing to shout about. They all went to Ian, barring that one
I tried another 2 of the coffee vapes you sent me earlier...Crucible, and is it mephisto ? Again, sorry to say, both lacking any real flavour
I am surprised at the coffee fresh concentrate from chefs, i had a little taste and it is wonderful, smells really nice as well. But i would expect it to be a dark colour - Not so, Tis as clear as day.
OK

Most BA flights to JFK fly over South Wales like BA113

I waved but it's cloudy, they probably missed me.;-)
What's the max you can import Trish,value wise, before VAT and Royal fail tax?
$30 seems to ring a bell.
Just that i was thinking,if i ordered a 60ml bottle of one juice and received the other free,it may be below the threshold, if Nicoticket only mark the customs ticket as what i've paid rather than the value.
see: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
on the Customs duty I believe it is 1.8%
RM charge £8 on top and it has to be paid before they deliver it.

Thanks, I'm thinking that instead of slinging these crap juices I'll try a bit of mixology with either some mandarin, stevia or menthol see if I can come up with something vapable

£15,don't miss a trick,do they. .
I can live with the VAT,it's that bloody £8 Royal fail snatch for collecting it.Read your comment before Bob,i seem to remember the courier companies charge about £20 collection fee.
You can also use this, I estimated the shipping @ $15 : Import duty & taxes calculation result
VAT is 20% and can't remember the name, not UPS, not FedEx but the other US one, charges about £11 but they deliver the item and send you an invoice for payment, RM hold you to ransom and that annoys me, I believe they don't actually collect it for HMRC, I think they are charged the money on a monthly basis for everything chargeable that goes through RM and all they are doing is reclaiming it and adding on their lump for administration charges.
Meant this is the threshold before tax is added Bob,according to the link you posted.Some interesting reading on those Thanks.
George, some have got their juices without having to pay the VAT, it's the luck of the draw really, think the first lot I had from MBV got through the net, so keep your fingers crossed
A couple of those sound rather good! Also, there's a huge choice on that site too!
They aren't brilliant are they! Crucible wasn't too bad when I mixed it with some vanilla custard, but I wouldn't use it again.I can`t remember which one was just ok Trish, but whatever it was is was nothing to shout about. They all went to Ian, barring that one

I'm hoping Ian can find a 'fix' for them at some point rather than just bin them.
Looking forward to you trying your new Chefs creation! Funny how some that you expect to be dark aren't and vice versa
I notice my Posset is really deeply coloured now, whereas the Doughnut and LCCC are just golden. I just picked the Posset one up this afternoon ...lovely to go back to! Most BA flights to JFK fly over South Wales like BA113
...the eldest went to NY twice last year, Manchester to Newark, and I think it flew the same route up to Alaska, and then down through Novia Scotia to NY.Oh, you never know!
Where it counts, I assume $22 to be safe, but I had $30 worth last week and had no problem. Think it's the actual content that they need to declare accurately.
Worth a try! Best if you use something you know has a good flavour and try a drop or two in it first
It's the extra charges that I object to also - seems a liberty. Plus, it always seems to take an extra week!
I remember UPS once charging us £11 on top of the customs charge.
I'd have thought encouraging international trade would be a good thing! They seem to have it stitched up every which way!
I've fired an email off and offered to send the remaining juice back. I cant believe the juice was supposed to taste like that , it must have got contaminated or something
Terry did it turn out to be your cold or do you think the Charlies was losing it's taste?
I must say upto now i think it's the nicest cuzzy i've had.But don't want to order in quantity if you feel it deteriorates.
