I've never tried any of their ones, but have ordered the bundle - due to arrive tomorrow, the Banana one is the only one that I may not enjoy but we'll see....
Mine are on the way from isleofcustard flavours along with some ethyl maltol (why don't they just put it in with the flavour I wonder ....do some people prefer them without I wonder). I don't like things too sweet to be honest.

I would like a good natural tasting banana 'thick cream' one ...I did wonder about the ready to use Brewell Mylk in the banana version. The strawberry one is good and very creamy. (not too much strawberry to make me wheeze either!)

Hang fire Trish,if you haven't already ordered.

Drat! Never mind, it was only £18 something with delivery. I suppose the TPD rule on discounts doesn't apply to non-nicotine items?
Thanks for the code though - mine should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday, so if any smell particularly good, I may get some more. I had three of their ready to use custards a good while back, and they were very nice.

I got mail today: 6x120mls of .3mg & .6mg base liquid - can save the .6 until last and dilute it with plain.
I should be fine with base liquid for easily a good year now with what I already have!

I wouldn`t worry about it Trisha, it`ll work it`s way out with plenty to chew on :)
Despite it being rock solid this past day, she was pawing at it tonight, and out it came! Not so much a tooth as a small tusk! No wonder it was firmly embedded.

I can cancel the vets appointment for Wednesday now :) Let's hope it's opposite number comes out a bit easier!

along with some ethyl maltol
I bought a 10 ml bottle of that from Chefs ages ago and hardly had to use it, only needed really if you want to sweeten things a little more :)

Well that`s a nice relief at least Trish, who needs vets bills at this time of year ? Or anytime of year come to think of it :laugh:

Ah well - at least I'll have it in case it's needed :rolleyes:

It is a relief - It's almost 1" long! can't believe how much bigger it is than the lower ones (we found one of those too when it came out).
Good point about vet bills - not sure if this sort of dental problem is covered by the insurance!
I can claim back for the vet treatments and tests done when her tum was upset frequently though.

from what i can see IOC are not bothering with premade juice, just concentrates etc that don't come under TPD regs, whereas Bosun's Juice are only doing a small amount of juices, but whether they will be able to continue knowing how much it costs to get MHRA compliance certification (£150 per flavour & nic level then £60pa per flavour & nic level) so for 7 flavours at 3,6 & 12 that equates to 21 x 150 =£3150 and £1260pa afterwards along with any costs involved with having a proper clean room/distribution area if they don't already have one set up.

Bosuns did have this:
http://bosunsjuices.com/epages/9500..._Bosuns_Log/Doom_gloom_and_shipwreck#MainText

Also, the cached page had this:

Doom, gloom and shipwreck
Now some doom and gloom….
We are getting increasing numbers of message asking how The Isle Of Custard is going to cope with all the additional costs and jumping through hoops, demanded by the EU's Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) which has now been signed into UK law. Unless there is a dramatic change of circumstances, the answer is - we're not!

The truth is we are too small an enterprise to afford the cost of testing and registering all of our products and at the same time we cannot risk breaking the law. The TPD, although widely criticised by vapers, medical professionals and even the politicians for being grossly unfair to small producers while favouring the big pharmaceutical and tobacco companies, is now a part of British law - and we are stuck with it. Even Brexit hasn't changed that!

We are not allowed to produce any juices after November, and although we can continue to sell those we have in stock until May 2017, we doubt our stocks will last until the New Year.

If and when we have a definite closing date or if anything changes in the meantime, you will, of course, be notified. Until then we will continue to sell the best custard e-juice across the Seven Seas.
Thanks for coming this far with us, loyal and trusted friends!

Looks like they planned to close - but the top link appears to say they've got compliance....who knows.

BTW who is this Kreed dude?:D
I've seen him on AAEC,is he something to do with Chefs?
Indirectly - but he's part of the Vaping Home Mixers ...or Brewers as they were called. They're a group of people that have come up with some good recipes ...that's where the PDF recipe books came from that I posted about a while back.

I haven't.
I wouldn't usually choose an orange custard.But the O.C has a v.good reputation.
I did like the sound of that one!

...we had an orange custard with plain sponge pudding at school ....was very nice! (There was a pink one with the chocolate pudding, and white with the ginger pudding!)

Think the flavours are a bit muted, although they are not too bad, the Banana one I could just taste the banana over the custard, so not as bad as I had expected, the biscuit cream custard (back to front ?) wasn't much difference to the banana one, the caramel custard again seems muted - but maybe it's me, that's as far as I have got so far.
