Have Strix changed their recipes slightly lately?

They've changed a lot of them about a few months back, now also in glass bottles, new flavours, haven't looked to see if any of the old flavours are still there, but just before they changed them I got a 100ml bottle of Lychee Delight Max VG and it's meh okay, but tastes different from the old 50/50 version which was nice.

I see a few of your old favourites there, plus some Max VG in a separate section, and also the Beta ones and a bespoke service too where you can choose a number of base ratios.

All the hundreds of choices around, and between us all, we've tried a huge number of them! Yet ever since we were trying all those little bottles from Chefs, most of us keep bouncing back - I've ignored a lot of chocolate ones this past 14 months because I just knew nothing would equal MCV ..now I'm hunting for ready to use ones, and it's not proving easy. Found a few OK ones, but nothing comes close :facepalm:
Wakonda is one I use on occasion, and only when very well steeped (a few months).

:laugh: Yes, deservedly so - I don't think anyone has such a huge range of flavouring/concentrates for a start! I'm hoping they make one or two great new ready to use ones ..including a chocolate one! :unsure:

I just wish i could help you with the choccy ones Trish, but i have never ever even tried any, so bit of a chocolate teapot i`m afraid. :lol:

As much good as a chocolate fireguard! :lol: ...seriously though, I know you don't like chocolate ones. I don't care for milk chocolate ones myself - that's why I like the MCV: it has a Belgian chocolate taste and I really like that ...not too heavy on the mint either, and the same with the waffle cone ...a sort of enhanced chocolate one!

Never mind, I'll get around it! ;) ...I have 400ml of it that I mixed up, so that'll last a few months or more, and I also have 60ml of 12mg that needs reducing to 4mg!
Being able to get the right flavouring concentrates that will ensure fairly long term availability will depend on the diketone levels in what's available now and in the near future.

You got nibbled toes yet?

Out of those old favourites I think I only have about 3 left in stock

Same here - I haven't found a choccy one I like except MCV, even though I sometimes get a peppery taste and it makes me sneeze

Dived into a Tesco express this morning for some milk.
I'm sure the person in front of me paid £9.24 for twenty Lambert and Butler.
She said,"and give me a fivers worth of scratch cards" and the bill was £14.24.
£9.24 :shock: Is that right? L&B where always a cheaper pack of fags.

Vapemail: Snow Wolf just arrived :)
Me Too Bob, my Zero. Unfortunately, I have had to request some help from FT support. The battery sleeve just won`t budge, i`ve even had my marigolds on it, but nope, can`t even get a bleedin battery in it to try it out.
I don`t think anyone on this thread has got a Zero, but any help would be appreciated.

£8.24 according to their site: Search (Lambert & Butler) - Groceries - Tesco Groceries

EDIT: Sterling SK are I think the cheapest at about £6.80, that's what I used to and the wife still smokes
