Amazing how the flavour has faded from that - I have a coconut custard from them, and that too has lost a lot of flavour. Only got them a few months ago.
At least Chefs flavours have been pretty consistent.
I see there's still some of their 60ml ones available (RY etc.) - all high in VG too and they just re-stocked with Nice Custard Cream 70/30 but may be too low in nicotine for both of you: .3mg

I keep meaning to make a small bottle of Kreeds Kustard to see what that's like - they did the concentrate in larger bottles recently, so sounds like it may be good.
Yeah, as you mentioned earlier, the GOOD thing about DIY is that you can always tinker with it to get it just right :)
I`ve no intention at all now of buying any more ready made`s Trish, i reckon my home made is just as good, if not better than a few i have had over the years. :laugh:

I'll get a drop more if they do.
Mixshop where doing 500ml of 72nic for 19.99,but it went out fast.Less than a day.
I see some at BigJuice PG and VG Nicotine Base 7.2% / 72mg - £4.99 : Bigjuice UK Ltd, Home of UK E-Liquid

Chefs still have limited quantities of nicotine and also ready to use bases - I just got some in higher nicotine than I use and can just dilute it with plain VG when I need it.
You need to search for 'nicotine' on the original Chefsvapour site.

I had some Rejuiced in a tank this avvy,i'd been wading my way down the bottle for a few days.
Binned it and others.Cleaned it out and refilled with homebrew,much better.:laugh:

Yes, you're most likely right Terry - we've had a fair number of disappointments with some brands of ready made.
We do seem to be meeting this change with a more positive attitude than we had this time last year! ;)
Still not looking forward to having to add the nicotine to the base myself - I just hate working with it, but I suppose that's down the line and it'll be OK when we have to.

Surprising isn`t it, the money we could`ve saved over the years :laugh: I just refilled another one of rejuiced `Busta Lime` it`s held it`s flavour this one, like the custard, but if i`m honest i`ll be glad when i`ve finished them all now. I just gave my 700 ml of homebrews a good shake and they smell wonderful. Can`t wait to try the Key Lime Pie :)

Sounds like the way to go - bin it! I'm being quite ruthless with anything under par because I just know we can get or make better now.

Who knows, we may be exchanging recipe tweaks before too long. I really like all the ready mixed types of concentrates that we can get, and no doubt more to come from all manner of Sources in the coming months.

I'd love to see some of the better US companies diversifying into a concentrate range.

10ml bottles of nicotine would be nice - no doubt too much to hope for.

It would have been better on our terms though Trisha, i absolutely hate being dictated to, and i reckon we all feel the same way about that. As mentioned though, we plod on & save some pennies to boot :) Where`s Bob at these days ?

Seems plenty of choice out there already.I don't think we'll have much of a problem, with getting what we need.
Only thing maybe is nic and it sounds like we are all alright for a couple of years:)

Must admit i wasn't really interested in mixing,but my hand has been forced.So be it.
The ....***S won't win.:laugh:

I've still got some good ones, and will use them before they 'go off' - some good Stash ones, some Avant Garde and Bord02 Cloud, etc. ..plus of course Chefs. I'll be good for ready made for a while, but still use the MCV every day, so am used to making that up into concentrate now.
Got plenty of bottles etc. to make some of my own, and really must make some of the more interesting ones to try them!

Absolutely right - I've always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to anyone telling me what to do! (Hence my intense dislike of the EUP!)
...plus, this TPD thing has been ridiculous! I do recognise a need for regulation ...of the actual stuff and where/how it's made, but not of us! When will they get it into their heads that we're grown-ups with the right to make our own choices.

Bob? Don't know - I did see him 'pop in' earlier, but he had nothing to say this time.

Yes, I think so - I was also thinking that seeing there'll be 10ml bottles of high (for us) nicotine strength, if it's something we'd mix/buy the concentrate of, we could always get a 10ml of high nicotine ready to use, and dump it in a bottle of our own ready to use DIY with no nicotine!
I wonder of Chefs will do 10ml bottles again of their liquids.....

Nor me, but as you come round to actually dabbling with it as we've done, it becomes a little less of a pain - especially if it turns out to be every bit as good, if not better ..and cheaper.
Too right!, Illegitimi non carborundum! ;)

Could be that it's where they're located ...I couldn't tell you where any of ours are - but in London, they're probably quite good in higher populated/busy areas.

Perhaps if you called in yours, they'd liven up :laugh:

Eeh! but it's been a funny year one way or another, and not a whole lot of it good - plenty of it frustrating for a start!
...perhaps if I got a cauldron and a pointy 'at, I could cast real spells :sneaky: :D
