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. :D 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've just mixed up the Butterscotch, Sticky Toffee, Caramel Toffee, Cappuccino and Coffee @ 25%. The coffee is looking promising, after an early test, but time will tell. Remind me to come back to this in a week or two.

Remind me to come back to this in a week or two. Have you tried the coffee & cappuccino yet prowler? I'll do a proper review of this collection sometime in the future but, for now, here's what I think... The real success appears to be the butterscotch at this stage, but you want to know about these two... Cappuccino. The first thing I get from it is sweetness and I don't really like sweet. Underneath that there is good coffee taste trying to get out but much too little at the moment. Maybe with more time? There is some creaminess on the exhale and an interesting nutty aftertaste. The sweetness kills this for me at the moment, so I'm putting it back for another few weeks. Coffee. Now this is completely different to the above.The initial taste is of commercial coffee machines used here [egberts ?] in cafes. There is little sugar and no milk in this coffee. It needs either more time or a higher %. My feeling is this should steep for months. There's some promise here but it will take time to bring out. My impression is these concentrates are not for the impatient.

Your description sounds a bit like the LT Cappuccino concentrate although for me that one isn't overly sweet.

As Perpetua already pointed out many mixers add alcohol to their VG so I guess it's all down to personal choice. I have mixed some up to try, but haven't got around to vaping it yet.

They're both still quite clear. In fact there is very little colour change in any of the tests. This could be because they are mixed at a very low nic content and that could be the reason for the extra time needed for steeping. I may not be the best person for testing flavours as I vape at anything from 1mg to 10mg depending on circumstances. I'm usually months behind in my vaping, my current ADV was mixed in March [when I started mixing].

I don't mind sweet vapes. Your description sounds a bit like the LT Cappuccino concentrate although for me that one isn't overly sweet. I just dropped back to let you know how it goes on. The cappuccino is getting there and losing the sharp sweetness I disliked so I think a bit more time is all that's needed. 25% appears just right, a quite decent vape. The coffee isn't coming on as quickly. Though the flavour is quite good, I think the mix is too weak and I will make a 33% mix. I think it'll take at least that to be usable, for me anyway.
