I saw you mention the Cider in another post so ordered a bottle of it today. Looking forward to trying it and maybe adding it to some tobacco mixes.

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. Always happy to help people spend their money prowler, although I'm not as good at it as robby. I have CCW Walnut & Peanut and if I'm honest I'm not a fan of those two as they are not very nutty to my palate, but I think I may need to mix them at a high level. I'd suggest 20%+ Not tried their coffee or cappuccino, so please let me know what they are like as I'm still searching for that perfect coffee concentrate.

I'll know in months not days. Currently vaping t-juice cubana I mixed on 10th March. Reckon it's about right now.

Got my Amazon CCW order delivered yesterday MarkS. I'll mix some of the Treacle ( adding sweetener ) and Rambutan up today - had a taste of that one, interesting flavour which also reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. An old fashioned sweet of some sort? Though according to Google it's from the Lychee family.

When I lived in Singapore we had a Rambutan Tree in the garden, always a good crop for about 4 months of the year... I love the fruit.... We still buy them from the Asian Supermarket here (but at about 200 x the price). In fact we have some in the fruit bowl as I type.... You can also buy tinned versions, but they are always very sweet as tinned in a syrup.

It looks like a little hairy strawberry on the outside Kev Frogster (The Alchemist). Mixed my samples up this morning, added some Sweetener and Vanillin to the Treacle - which smells/tastes very authentic. Thinking it will be rather nice with a Toffee flavour of some sort as well. Looking forward to trying them in a week or so's time.

Cannot for the life of me think of what it reminds me of. I have CCW's Lychee concentrate but not tried it yet, it does smell similar to the Rambutan but slightly different. Unique and interesting flavour though and I quite like it. Have you had a sniff of the treacle yet? I think it smells lovely. I also received my CCW cider today and will mix a bottle up at the 25% you suggested.

I have indeed Mark . . . and a taste of the neat concentrate, I've high hopes for this one as it tastes really lush. Though I'm glad I added the sweetener as you suggested, as I think it would have been a bit flat/dry as you said without it.

I thought it smells more like Golden Syrup than treacle. I have CCW Golden Syrup and that smells & tastes literally of nothing, think it will need a high percentage to get anything from it. Quick question do you add sweetener to the Cider concentrate?

No, no sweetener MarkS - just 25% flavour with nothing else added. I've been deliberating on the Golden Syrup, think I'll pass on that if that's what you find about it.

Thank you Perpetua, bottle is more or less mixed and ready then, all I need to add now then is the PG. I have a 20% mix of Golden Syrup steeping so let you know if it is as weak as I think in a few more days.

Perpetua ... Indeed it does look a bit like it in the photos, however it is more like a conker outside, with a soft sweet fruit inside (and a big pithy stone inside that).
You eat by taking in both hands and twisting the outside to "crack / split" the skin, you then suck the fruit off the stone... trying not to get too much pith from the stone.
Delicious, you must try them.
