Same as the milkshake powder tin Nesquik I think (very long time since we had any in the house) - so good that you get to try them before you consider buying any!
That's the nice thing about having a vape cafe, try before you buy, the juice was £33.99 and the K4 kit £34.99 - I got them for £30 each so a bargain as well :laugh:

Ah, Nesquik - a yummy pink milky sugar bomb. Amazing how us kids who lived through the '60's have any teeth left. :)
Think it must have been the 'right' kind of sugar ;)
I do think anything we ate or drank back then was less complicated!

:) I'm getting to be quite a regular, they make good coffee, smoothies & milkshakes, I've even had a lemon & ginger tea (and I don't normally drink tea) served in a glass teapot, I've given them some pointers on things to sell, think they see me as some sort of vape guru, I even gave one of their staff a quick tutorial in how easy it is to build simple coils today. They are not fully up to speed on some things, but at least they are willing to listen & learn.

Sounds better than many high street shops are - be nice if they can show people how to build coils too!
The wire etc. would be more stuff that they could sell too!

We used to live in town, and a 10 minute walk could have me sat having coffee and watching the world go by, and be back to my work within the hour.
Don't have anywhere like that at the moment ...closest thing is in the supermarket! Anything better involves a short drive.

They are already talking about having a build night, and next week they are supposedly getting some Aspire Shisha pipes in

Sounds like a good idea - not so sure about shisha though!
I suppose there'll need to be a few changes once the TPD starts to take effect. :(
Still, perhaps it won't stop new people trying to give up smoking - when I first began, it was little cig-size batteries & cartridges, and then 1.8ml tanks on Evod batteries!

It's us who will notice such changes the most (if our stash's ever run out!)

Hope the café can adapt and be hugely successful in time to come.

I saw that Avant Garde have a café at Wells St W1.

Might have a look tomorrow, we have our Vape Meet on the corner of Foley Street, in the King & Queen Pub, just up the road from there.
If you do and try any, the Chocolate Doughnut is one I like, as are the Strawberries & Cream, Berry Crush, Fortress of Solitude/Heart of Heaven (Superhero) - and they do a bespoke service too with more flavours.
They used to have a wider range, and I still have some, but think they kept the most popular ones after a testing period of time. There's also the Vaping Outlaws range, but not sure if they actually sell it themselves. I have Four Horsemen and Moonshine.
Be nice if you get there to hear what you think of them :) ...sounds like good weather tomorrow too.

@Pictor managed to pop into Avant Garde, it;s just a lounge where you can test their products and buy stuff from, not a cafe, I did end up getting a couple from them, Heavenly Vanilla Custard & F2, the latter is a new one which is a mixture of their Banana Split and something else that I cannot remember - but it was nice both 100% VG but the F2 was only in 6mg not the 3mg I normally get.

I did wonder about the actual function of the place so hope you got a nice coffee elsewhere ....Their Vanilla Custard has always had good comments - I like it, and once when Karl sent me some samples, I sent him a few samples in return, including that one which he'd asked about.
The F2 sounds rather good. I haven't seen a banana split for sale on their site.

I had some very helpful emails from Yousuf at Avant Garde (He mixes them) and he said that with the Cloud chaser range, even with the flavouring, there's very little PG in them ...perhaps 3-4%, but the base is 100%VG.

I've been waiting for the 5th Vaping Outlaws one to be released for months - it's in black bottles, and the 5th one is to be called Voodoo Tea!

I have the AG ones in a box, and the smell when I lift the lid is really nice: chocolate, vanilla & berries! :)
(I daresay I could mix a lot of them together). I do have some that aren't for sale now too, and some are really good.

Correction: I see not only Banana Split, but a lot of the ones not listed that I mentioned in amongst the bespoke choices!

Idly looking through some smallish bottles lurking in the corner of my desk last night, I discarded two, and decided to try a third that seemed promising:
Bord02-Jean Cloud (3mg/80VG) Crème Anglaise ...I really like it ...a very pleasant rich cream/vanilla flavour with body - not overly sweet. If it came in a bigger bottle, I'd buy it. (French site shows that only the 50/50 range comes in 100mls)

I do have a few more in that range, so will try them. Vapeclub to have expanded the Jean Cloud range since I last bought any:VapeClub
Electrictobacconist has a decent range too but it's £1 more.

I just tried another BORD02Jean Cloud that I have: La Belle Époque - Lemon Cheesecake, Pancakes, Vanilla & Cocoa ...now, I'm not sure about the cocoa being prominent at my wattage (7 with this) but the rest of it is really nice!
I put it in the same tank that had the Crème Anglaise, and can say the two mix together fine, gradually developing into just the La Belle Époque after a few minutes use.
The lemon is definitely with cheesecake, and not at all a sickly lemon, but has a creamy edge alongside the cheesecake. I get the pancake and vanilla too - have used 1.8ml in no time!

....I've got another three lurking in a corner somewhere, and after trying the first two, now wonder why I waited so long to try them! Perhaps the L'Ange Gardien next, then Vap Sparrow and finally Prohibition Blend.

I made the mistake of mooching around on the Vapeclub site - big mistake! Here I am, trying to weed out these bottles of liquid I have, and I see some there that seem pretty irresistible. One such is Dinner Lady - must try a couple of those!
I also saw another (new to me) one that sounds rather good: SergeantVapour by Halcyon (70VG). There's also a couple more BORD02 I'd like to try :facepalm:

Haven't tried them myself but have heard that DL are fairly good.

The reviews on the Vapeclub site are good, and that's what made me look twice at them. Makes it even better that you've heard good things.

Was it you (or perhaps it was George) who tried a couple of the BORD02? - I certainly like two of the three I've tried so far - the third: The L'Ange Gardien is true to the flavour profile, but not perhaps something I'll buy again - I don't always play nice with just fruit ones, and think the blackberries in it may have made me wheeze ....I may add some custard to it to use it up.
Vap Sparrow next.

I found some reviews by Vic, and seeing he doesn't waffle, I watched them - saw the second one first:

Then this one with 4 more reviews:

He seems to get accurate flavours from what I've already tried. There's a few videos for this range, and the others are listed to the side of them at YT.

The referendum debate is getting very ugly now. Mr Guru-Murthy had a right old go at Mr Farage on C4 News - well beyond the bounds of fair debate imho. When will this ever end? Oh, that's right. Thursday. Good!
I didn't see that one - think I have brain freeze with it all now.
If only the 'out' people had retained dignity and not copied the scare mongering and fabrications, they could have sat back and let the 'remain' ones hang themselves out to dry!

I'm actually finding myself feeling quite anxious when seeing the close polls ...but don't usually take a lot of notice of them.

We'll be very glad when it's all over!
