Is it pretty close in taste to the Hangsen ?

I tried the CV one but it was nothing like

Custard doesn't appeal to me mate

i haven`t had hangsen for months and months vin, it literally turned my guts. I used to vape it when i first started, but soon realised that it was making me retch my guts up in the morning, so i knocked it on the head and i`ve not had a problem since I do find the SG one a bit tastier than the ry ..... !

 

[terry w]

Such a shame! I'm sad for you and for them ...something isn't going well. I do hope for everyone's sake things get back to normal there soon.
I once sent an email through the site and it didn't get answered, but when I found an old one from Karl and used that to send an email, it worked. Let me know if you want an alternative email address.

Tis a travesty trish I`m sure once they pull their finger out we will get it sorted out though, i am just so frustrated with them right now !

You can't Terry - Chefs took over the liquid side of it.

Yes i did notice that after i had posted, and that is a shame

By the way - the RY one from Heathers is good: Heathers Heavenly tobacco it's called (It's an RY though). They also do Heavenly Army: It's a NET and I haven't tried mine yet as it's been steeping. I'll try it soon, but I'd definitely buy the Heavenly Tobacco again.

I've got a few NET's to try that have been steeping from both Indigo and Heathers. They're all the caramel/vanilla, sweeter types. I'll let you know what they're like when I try them.

I tried some Kingslayer today again - it's not as rich as some I've had, so wouldn't be my favourite.

I've also tried the MBV Admiral Berry Crunch - more of the Crunch than Berry, so not balanced enough for me. I could add something like Squid ink or another berry one to it though.

And, Avant Garde French Vanilla - it's a very nice Vanilla Cream type. Good on it's own and will be good mixed with other things such as fruits or tobacco ones.

Well with the king slayer, and the digby`s, both recommeded by george, i don`t think i will be listening to him again Can you please give me the link to heathers trish, i will bookmark it and have a good look tomorrow

I like the hangsen but it spoils your wick after a couple of mls

and you can only get it in 80/20 or so

In all honesty vince, i wouldn`t go any where near it now, after vaping the premium juices.

I'm the other way, I'd never pay over the odds for what amounts

to the same 4 or 5 ingredients. I know from my bait making days that

the naturals and extracts are a bit more expensive, but a lot of the

flavour houses I read about in vaping terms are the same ones I used

and I could buy 125ml for £7.25

Going on their past performance and service, I'm thinking it's a phase and things will get better ...at least I hope so!

E-Liquid Flavors : Heather

This is the Heavenly: Heavenly Tobacco - $6.00 : Heather

Good despatch/delivery.
I still have a few to try from my first order,

.....plus still to try the Indigo RY that I got! (Cloudhouse site is back up after the holidays).

 

[Bobw1951]

Bet you buy one 'tho.;-)

Nope not interested, quite happy with the Lemos, KFLs and the Atlantis

 

[Bobw1951]

I've got one of the guys from work coming round tomorrow. He's bought a Vulcan dripper and some sort of mech mod to power it. He's asked me to give him a build tutorial - no problem there. But when I asked what batteries he had, he said Duracell AA's - looks like I've got a bit of a job to do after all

You're gonna have to give us some feedback on that

Yes but with hangsen we are talking chinese ingredients mate, and that could be anything ! And i mean anything Don`t get me wrong vinnie, i am not a vaping snob, just Tend to trust uk or american liquids over the chinese ones

 

[Bobw1951]

Hey vinnie It`s steamgunks bought from chefs, I reckon in the future i will be buying direct from SG though Their captain custard is awesome as well mate, miles better than the digby`s custard, Ahem.

Didn't think SG were back in business, Chefs were making them to the SG recipe after they stopped due to their mixer going down ill

I know hangsen dont have a very good rep, I just like the flavour profile

of their ry. It's just my opinion but I dont think that there would be as

many diy ers if it were that difficult to make a decent juice

They aren`t bob, not for liquids anyway ! The site is still up for hardware though, not that we would be interested

 

[Pictor]

Thanks Yes i have just been looking at cloudhouse ! i will just take a peek at heathers before i hit the sack.

I already have a few on my list for Cloudhouse! Gremlin Custard is one and Indigo OMG Peach another, plus something I can't think of at the moment! I'm thinking of adding the peach to a tobacco NET one!

I had a few of the ready to use ones way back in the early days for me, and I kept having a sniff over some weeks, but couldn't bring myself to try them! But, they've been around a good while and plenty of places sell it, so it's all down to different preferences!

...and completely off on a tangent - I got us a Dolce Gusto Jovia dark red coffee maker for £29 in Tesco's sale last week (less than half price!) ..it's very good! So far, we like the Grande (full mug of rich coffee), the Latte Macciato unsweetened, and the Espresso Barista. Got the Americano, Decaf and Hot chocolate to try yet! There's others too.
We've used Senseo Morning Americano double pods and Mocca Gourmet for years, so this Dolce Gusto makes a nice change.
They sold out of the red Jovia ones but still had black at £39 last time I looked.

I've always thought that an expensive way to make coffee, prefer to use a proper espresso machine and use beans to make my own, the machines might cost more but the coffee works out a lot cheaper surely, I got a Russell Hobbs one when they were on special offer on Amazon, has it's own water tank

Ah well!We can't all be the same.

At least you get what you order 'tho mate

I'm a big coffee fan and while I'd love a nice bean to cup machine I find you can't go wrong with one of these:



I use it most days.

I suppose it depends on how much coffee you drink. We have a 14.5oz mug every afternoon around 4, and I sometimes have a mug of decaf or chocolate around 1 or 2 am if there's no pot of tea made.
It's £3.68 for a box of 16 pods. It gets expensive if the added milk ones such as chocolate are used because they use two pods, but for coffee I get the Café Maid coffee cream pots from Makro anyway and use those. If I want a latté I have a separate machine that heats and froths milk or I can heat milk in the microwave.

We have a Gaggia put away somewhere - no-one bothered with it really. Most times, the pod machine got used before the Gaggia.
There are three bean to cup machines in the family, one a built-in machine installed with a new kitchen, but I do know that two of those households have a Senseo machine and the other a cafetiere for when the odd single cup is wanted.

Mine isn't a bean to cup machine, but I have an electronic grinder, and some lovely beans provided free from Costa
