Hey Tel,don't shoot the messenger.

:laugh: I`m not George, just my reaction to the video mate !

I only visited the once and bought a bottle.It ain't great in my book mate.Wouldn't bother again.
My Charlies is changing colour nicely.Give it a try soon.

Yes it`s lovely mate, better than both Grants and Quacks IMO, wicks miles better than the latter as well :)

I've only tried the quacks 'thru an Atlantis.And i was quite surprised i got thru' 30ml on one coil,with it being 100%vg i thought it may clog it up.
Very mild flavour,but i think it's nice in it's own right.I've got another 45ml here.So i'm going to put that thru' the subtank mini see how it compares to the Atlantis for flavour.It's bloody smooth in 6mg mate,makes for a nice change sometimes.

Yes i quite like the Goose myself george, but found it wicked pretty slowly in a KF4. Maybe a bit less rayon and it would be fine. Nice flavour though as you say.

Don't like the sound of this one little bit.
I don't like the sound of it either, and it's one of the reasons I got down to a mix of 6 and 3mg as quickly as I could. I also have a fair bit of zero liquid too. I'm thinking I should start seriously cutting back to all 3mg if I can. I'd hate to start smoking again!

One thing that struck me in that video is, considering what I said to Ian regarding the government and the tobacco companies being in cahoots and planning any which way they can to claw back the cash they're losing, he's actually threatening to do exactly what they'll want him and everyone like him to do: start buying cigarettes again!

I'd think that whatever legislation and bans they may (or may not) wish to impose, it'll take some time to actually do it.
I wonder if the B&M's will have a case for compensation regarding their livelihood being swiped from under their feet if it really did get that bad.

It's the first I've heard about the potential ban of refillable tanks and VV/VW mods, but I don't discount the possibility. There's a reason I have a dozen tanks sat in their boxes alongside half a dozen 20W iSticks. The liquid is another matter - I know I can freeze VG, not sure about nicotine or flavouring. Still, plenty of time to explore that if necessary.

Did you see the email I copied here that I got from Vaperev last night? Customs had been confiscating or returning liquids as not allowed! Something I hadn't heard of before, but when looking for retailers of two particular brands last night, I noticed that they all made a point of stating that they will not adjust value or content description to avoid customs.
It had been the first time I'd registered with a US company and got to the shipping method only to be told they would not ship to the UK!
Vaperev told me they're hoping to have a distributor in Paris by the end of the year.

As a result, I placed an order for a few 30ml bottles from Justbottles.fr today! Not the POET brand that I'd been wanting though!
Seeing these sellers of US brands within the EU makes me think they perhaps may know something definite about the shipping problems that may arise in the near future.
I've seen a number of businesses recently, particularly in France, and did wonder what the reasoning was - it couldn't be purely for customs duty reasons.
We've also seen more and more UK retailers selling US brands lately.
Nicoticket has begun getting B&M distributors world-wide as there is talk of online sales being curtailed, plus they've gone over to automated bottling in glass bottles with safety caps, and I believe they have said they will no longer label packages with lesser value or different content. I haven't placed an order with them since the new bottles etc. were introduced, so have no first hand experience.

No-one really knows exactly what will be imposed on us, but a lot of the more responsible brands seem to be trying to cover as many angles as they can.

It seems that the word of eminent scientists and medical professionals is not enough to deter governments from trying to hoodwink us into believing it's for our own good, when they really only want their taxes back and the giant tobacco companies appeased.
They did however believe them and embark on decades of bullying us when they found that tobacco smoking was bad for us! Hypocrites!

I'll be honest - I don't mind a bit of tax ..and I do mean a bit - as long as they don't start imposing ridiculous bans on certain equipment & liquid.
The tobacco companies should have jumped on the bandwagon and done the same as the best liquid and equipment suppliers have done - they'd still have their profits and have no need to whisper in governments ears (& pockets), and all we'd need worry about would be government taxes.

I do very much hope that none of what was said in that video comes to pass, but it is unsettling, and cannot be totally disregarded.
I don't think that thousands of protests would deter them from carrying out whatever plans they do have - after all, the protests didn't stop the smoking bans in any way.

I' d hate to be the spin merchant who has to explain why any bans are placed on vaping consumables, without a credible unfavourable scientific study, whilst still selling cigarettes which have been proven to kill millions and cost billions to treat the effects worldwide
If anything I can see this as a sort of double bluff where the government threatens to ban vaping to make vapers more affable to taxation as an alternative
The electronic cigarette industry must look like a big fat cash cow to HM Customs and Revenue, and fits the demographic of smokers, drinkers and motorists who are the traditionally exploited

True! We used to be far easier to fool with velvet words than we are now ...we've learned to see through what they say and read between the lines!
I hope your theory of a bluff is correct - better than a ban. No way will they sit back and do without the revenue from tobacco!

I know I should like your post Terry, but I haven't found a custard I like yet.:unsure:
Look what I found: Zapp/Electronic Cigarettes Cardiff/E-Liquids/Vaping
The CV Welsh Custard is the first one shown - no saying you'll like it, but I do (actually using some that's well steeped now at the moment) - they have it in 3mg and 6mg.

Chefs don't yet have it on their site though.

Another really nice one that I've now got a bigger bottle of of is Interstate Certified 365 - it's described as custard/vanilla/butterscotch, but the butterscotch part tastes more like a caramel - very nice! From Vanilla Vapes. (very good to buy from)

Did a nickle build in a Lemo today ! 10 wraps @ 3mm, and it is reading .27 ohms. I dunno why it has come in higher than my last build, which was exactly the same and read .16 ??

It is vaping really well though, with no TP kicking in, which i had a lot of when using my dripper, maybe it`s because the wicks are permanently saturated in the Lemo !
Anyhoo, when i looked inside my trident, i noticed the posts were all discoloured, like the plating had come off, so that has now gone in the bin :laugh: `Didn`t use it much anyway` so no loss there :)

They have quite a few of the chefs don`t they :) I`ve got enough custard to last me a fair bit now, so i will pass this time. Noticed they only do it in 3 and 6 mg as well :confused:
But the bryces custard, which is also supposed to be very good, you can get in 12mg.

This custard (if I remember correctly), is in glass 15ml bottles. Not sure if they'll do it in higher nicotine versions ...when they get it on their own site! Apparently first lot they did, it all sold out at their two distributors (the other one is in Holland) so it didn't get on their site, and they steep it for weeks before they bottle it.

I don't think Bryce's comes in high VG (so I won't be able to try it), and I also see they now do the Carpe Diem! Their Slevin is something you may like! (another brand I can't have! :()

Yes - I do wish I could use the Carpe Diem! Even the apple & ice cream one sounds good to me, and I rarely touch apple ..makes me wheeze usually - but I'd try that one!

I must try my NT Band Camp with some custard & cream! :)

Don't know when they'll get more, but if I see it, I'll let you know! I saw a couple of the others don't have all the strengths still available, so perhaps they'll get some soon! It's definitely not something that would be easy to copy DIY!

I'm really taken with it and love how sometimes I taste tea with a creamy aftertaste and then other times it's coffee & vanilla or a little hint of Belgian chocolate ...really unusual and very clean on the palate if that makes sense.
If I use the Doughnut one right after using it, the taste of the custard and doughnut is sort of amplified!

Edit* By the way - not sure what they have in the other varieties of Artists collection, but there's a couple that I'd love to have but they're 50/50! :( (Paramour & Sacre Coeur).

No, I set the Aerovape ones aside and haven't checked them since - you've got me curious now! I only got the small bottle of that one.
