Sorted it. Managed to get the dripper top off and added the flavour to the base/nic and shook. That must be why its called Shake and vape. :D
I'm still thinking this is odd - retailers are allowed to sell ready to use e liquid in 10ml bottles up to 20mg ..can't understand why he's selling it in two bottles :unsure:

The pot shots are an interesting idea to get around tpd regs. Unfortunately it's not a good solution for we who desire higher than 3mg. Chefs is easy to mix. And given the price increase for the pot shots. Well doesn't make sense for me. But I appreciate the option.
Thankfully, I do use 3mg, so not so bad. The price for those Pot Shots isn't too different from what we've been paying in recent times for ready to use, and easy for lazy ones like me who only mixes when I feel like it! :laugh:

I wonder if chefs rebranding to just flavoring will keep them out of the limelight. I'm surprised there aren't more companies doing this Dunn recipe concentrate. It certainly isn't a thing here in the USA.
Flavouring is universal though - no telling how long we'll be able to get 10ml shots of nicotine, but there are other places to buy it because it's used for other things.
Chefs are just complying with the new rules.

Its 10ml base and nic and the instructions to make 18mg are just to add the flavour so I think I now have Strawberry Milkshake 18mg 12ml in total. I suspect the caplet is about 2ml. The base is called Diamon Crystal Base.
That's a relief! I was concerned in case it was nicotine and flavouring that you had to add to a plain base liquid!

It is so he doesn't have to get every flavour tested. He only gets the base tested and registered and is free to sell the flavour as he likes. Same as JC is doing with his Cabin Kits.
I see - seems there's a number ways retailers are dealing with this!

OK i see the sizes,how very odd,why not just sell you 10ml of ready mixed juice.

Re read all the posts,i get it now.
The guy wants to sell juice without paying for the testing.I'm sure they'll close that loophole.
Why should he get away with that, when other makers have had to spend a small fortune to stay within the law.

It is an odd way of doing it until you see the reason! First time I've seen that.

JC has been posting his email conversations with Trading Standards on Facebook so he must know what he is doing. Of course it is different to the US its a British legal instrument derived from the EU Directive.
Of course I know that, but I'd only spoken to a US company about concentrates, so didn't know the quirks of the stupid EU ones. There are quite diverse differences between US and EU tobacco laws now.
I haven't read much at all on FB, let alone Flemming's conversations with TS.
He does know his stuff, but it's definitely a different way of doing things to what we've seen so far.
I'd be the first to say the new rules are a bag of s**t.
But traders who have gone the legit route must be hopping mad at the moment.
They are, and yes, they must be! ;)

As far as we know they are doing it legitimately, I know JC is checking with TS on a regular basis as he posts updates on Facebook and has told me how to make 18mg out of his kits. I think they are just saving money because flavours don't need testing but the base/nic does.

Makes sense as the flavours will have been pre tested by the manufacturer.
