Hoping my Kent flavour turns up tomorrow!
I hope it is like BC, that's my favourite evening vape and I can get through a fair bit using DCCs!

It's here so I've made 10mls with around 3% of Kent and 3 little tiny drops of Licorice F5 (cause it smelled lovely) So, how long do I need to wait before I try it?

Well done Karma. I'd leave it 3/4 days before you try it, Tobacco blends don't take so long as a rule to mature. You're on a roll now!

It's gone a lot darker already! Smelling great! Just to trick my brain, I mixed it in a 'BC bottle' but the bottle was well washed out with Bicarb of Soda rinsed, dried etc, no smell left! I'm really hoping this works, it smells just right, but I've been deceived by my sense of smell before So excited

I've just sampled a mix of Kent I've had steeping for over 3 weeks. When I first mixed it, I did it at 2%, tasted it next day and it seemed weaker than the premix I'd bought so I increased it to 5% and left it for over a week. On this test it wasn't like the caramelly toffee of the premixed, it had a liquorice twang to it so I diluted it down to approx2.5% and left it 'till tonight. It's now a smooth toffee taste. I've mixed it at 32mg 50/50. The description does state "It has a caramel, toffee twist in the taste" and start at 1%. The premix is exactly that taste so the liquorice seems to appear in higher % of flavour mixes.

Well, not bad, not bad at all! It's not an exact copy of BC, but I didn't really expect that and I'll not bother with any extra drops of licorice in the next mix! It certainly is similar but something is missing. I may try mixing some small batches of Kent and try adding some different things! I'm also a bit of a VR fan. I've ordered some of this as the review says it's 'biscuity' so thought it may be similar. Anyone tried it? www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_78&product_id=187

Ok, latest Kent update! 1.5% 50/50 pg/vg around 17% ish nic.. It is similar to BC but perhaps a bit more aniseed going on there? This has only steeped for 48 hours, so could change with longer steeping! I probably should try with only the 1% that is recommended, but that just seems such a tiny amount I've diluted my original mix down a bit today, a wee bit nic and some wee bits of pg/vg as it was getting stronger with steeping! TBH, I doubt that anyone can totally re-create BC but if you like BC then it really is worth having a try with the 'Kent' concentrate.... ... I would like to hear of other's experiments with this

Hi All. "Black Cat" substitute juice. Well mixed `Kent` flavouring at 1% with 70/30 mix at 18% nic. Most acceptable, not as per `BC` but close enough for me. Will let it steep for next 5-7 days, if OK will make up 50mls. Thanks Karma and others who gave suggestions, "Much Appreciated". jeffc
