Nicer than TPA's do you think Esme? I havent tried the TPA French Vanilla yet Perps.........but I can say the Capella one is very creamy tasting, shall have to buy some TPA just to compare We can always rely on you for some Market Research Esme.

I've just had some of TPA's VC shipped over , it's very nice ...definitely on par with Capella's maybe just edging it but I've got to let my VC/ Bavarian Cream mix steep a few more days before I can be certain

Hello majnu, to the forum. :)People are referring to ultrasonic cleaners. Wikipedias definition is below in case you aren't familiar with them. People say that if you put ejuice in them it speeds up the steeping process. An ultrasonic cleaner is a cleaning device that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–400 kHz) and an appropriate cleaning solvent (sometimes ordinary tap water) to clean delicate items. The ultrasound can be used with just water, but use of a solvent appropriate for the item to be cleaned and the soiling enhances the effect. Cleaning normally lasts between three and six minutes.[1] Ultrasonic cleaners are used to clean many different types of objects, including jewellery, lenses and other optical parts, watches, dental and surgical instruments, tools, coins, fountain pens, golf clubs, window blinds, firearms, industrial parts and electronic equipment. They are used in many jewellery workshops, watchmakers' establishments, and electronic repair workshops.[2]

Well suppose ill have to put another sneaky order in next week lol It's one of the ' Mixers ' 10 Commandments Foreverblue, to place at least one order a week for some flavourings.

I made up 30ml of Perp's VC recipe 10 days ago, and had a sneaky bit after 3 days - divine! So nice that I promptly made up another 60ml (although half of that is for the mate of mine who went halves on the ingredients!). Now can hardly wait, so am vaping some of my first batches of VC which TBH aren't a patch on the new stuff. I reckon the difference is Capella VC (at the right percentage - 15%), not too much French Vanilla (5%), a bit of DdL and a couple of drops of Stevia sweetener. Will definitely be making more of this! We got a load of other flavours too, but this is so vapeable that we don't want to use the base for anything else!! Andy

All sounds good Andy, take it you & your friend dont like the vanilla custard then I mixed a few single flavours up from LT ecigs today aswell & I think they only take a few days to steep so looking forward to trying loads of new 1s this week as my 1st batch hit the U bend lol. Just need to try & pick up 1 or 2 off these beaway 306's as they look to be the easiest way to test all the new stuff Sorry for being a noob, but what is the Ddl you are mixing in? Dont think ive heard off it yet

Mmm, my 2.5 week old PVC is just lush, rivalling the GVC to be sure

I would recommend it foreverblue its part of my "storecupboard essentials" for mixing. Try Liberty Flights, thats where I got mine from, if they are out of stock........there are other vendors that have it.......sorry I cant remember off hand who they are, but sure that someone can point you in the right direction

Got my Dulce de leche from Leisure Liquids - www.leisureliquids.com/dulcedeleche.html - about 8 drops per 30ml is all you need, I reckon. Makes a big difference though, will never be without it again! I have even added it retrospectively to my own VC mixes which are nearly ready to vape - hope this doesn't mean MORE steeping!! Andy

my 1st batch hit the U bend lol. Don't ever chuck juice away until it has had a good steep (2-3 weeks) as it can evolve into something really good with the passage of time. We mixed up some Blackberry and Rum, tasted rough as rats after 3 days, but already, 10 days in, it's beginning to mature and develop some really nice flavour. Be patient, and buy enough spare bottles to hang on to your mixes until they ahve had chance to prove themselves! Andy
