Some interesting CCW flavours on the way

[MarkS]

Should be receiving some new CCW flavours today and wondered if anyone here had used them before and at what percentages?

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00H7CFUAE/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_2

Flavours are Lychee, Lemongrass, Guava, kaffir lime & Rambutan.


Also ordered the Halloween pack

I know the ginger isn't supposed to be safe to vape but like the sound of Treacle, Pumpkin & Golden syrup.

[MarkS]

They have arrived.

Silly, but I always get excited when I receive new flavours, albeit mostly ending up disappointed by the end result

Just had a sniff of the pumpkin and I hope it tastes better than it smells

I think sometimes CCW put that caution on, if a concentrate contains Ethanol/Alcohol, which their Ginger does MarkS.

I'd use it very happily and do, with any concentrate that lists Ethanol as an ingredient.

Have fun.

@marks - Out of yours, the only one I have is Lemongrass. Very authentic tasting, but not as a standalone for me. Maybe with coconut or citrus fruit? Maybe even with some cucumber anyway, would recommend starting around 3% as part of a recipe... could be quite overpowering if you're not careful

I've only tried the lemongrass out of that lot, it is very good but should be used with caution and as a background flavour at around 1-2% IMHO. Plays well with citrus and other fruits IIRC

I must admit I already do use flavours with ethanol in them too. Good to know it's ok. Thank you.

thank you lairey & Jen good to know it's another CCW flavour where only a small amount is required. I was thinking a lemongrass and lychee mix. For no other reason than it rolls off the tongue nicely.

Just tried a taster of the Rambutan flavour out of the Eastern Magic Pack and it's a very appealing flavour which I can't quite put my finger on.
It tastes like a mix of Mango, Rhubarb and Pineapple.
Only mixed it at 10% and although the flavour is there I think next time I will mix it a little stronger, but doubt it will need more the 15%

The thing is I just went to look for some more information on it on Cupcake Worlds site and it doesn't appear to be a flavour they stock.

Strange.


Edit to add the only one of the 9 flavours I bought listed on CCW's site is Lemongrass. Have emailed them to see if they are discontinued.
Hope not because if the treacle tastes as delicious as it smells then it will be a shame.

Maybe Alison has limited stocks, or some reason other than being discontinued MarkS. She does a very nice Digestive Biscuit flavour that until recently wasn't on the Home site - thanks to Kev ( The Alchemists Cupboard ) it is now.

Be interested to hear the response, in the meantime think I best buy some on Amazon if you think it's going to be that yummy.

I saw that Digestive Biscuit Concentrate and it's going in the basket for my next order. I'll have a tea vape in one atty and a digestive in another

Contacted Alison and she has put most of them on the site now. I thought they may have been discontinued so would have ordered some more from Amazon before they disappeared. That's not the case though and she has added the Lychee and Rambutan now.

Had a little drip of the treacle as it just smells to good to resist. It has a lot of promise, but will need a higher percentage next mix. Mixed at 10% this time, but think it will need around 20% and some sweetener. I think it will also be a good addition to some toffee & coffee type vapes.

[Perpetua]

I panic bought some Treacle and Rambutan on Amazon MarkS.

Along with the Orchard Fruits Pack

But it's all good as I signed up/cancelled the months free trial on postage doodah.

[MarkS]

I think you'll like the Treacle Perpetua but I found the drip a little dry, definitely needs sweetener with it. Saying that it's only been steeping for 4 days so will try it again next week.

Not sure if everyone will like the Rambutan though it's fruity but not quite like any other fruit I've tried.

Would love to know your thoughts on it if you try it as it reminds me of something I have tasted before but for the life of me cannot pinpoint what it is.

Ah..... I think I can inform you (& those going to Vapefest), that after initiating talks with Alison from CCW and Rik from Vapefest, CCW will be in attendance as a Vendor.

[Perpetua]

I'll make some of them both up when I get them MarkS - I'm on a real CCW roll at the mo, their fruity flavours have been my staple vapes in this hot weather.

On the Cider tonight, 25% nothing else added and it's slipping down nicely.


Fabulous news Kev Frogster (The Alchemist).

[prowler]

I think I'll probably just stalk MarkS around the board in future.
I seem to get all my purchasing ideas from him. lol

Just ordered.
