Thanks sleepyduck.. Let us know how you find red hot pear because member on UKV had some and done a tank full and it was unsteeped said he couldn't put it down... But I would say let it steep 1st

I'm looking forward to trying that one However, I'm trying them in order of age, so I probably won't get round to it for a week or so...

I just popped my 2-day old Strawberry Vapetto in my brand new Protank and despite being unsteeped, it's pretty damn good Can see this becoming as close to an ADV as I get! Awesome work, guys

Glad you like it Jen.. One of the hardest things is leaving them steep but if you love it now why not, it will only get better while your vaping it

Karl, what an understatement hard is not the word, I'm finding it almost impossible to resist the spotted dick, the bottle is out and in of my vaping drawer like a yo-yo at the moment. The only reason I haven't actually filled up a tank is I know custard does really need steeping time. Ah well off to get the dripper out, give it a clean and rewick and give it a go. As they say resistance is futile.

Just received Lews Brew, Strawberry Vapetto and Spotted Dick with Custard.
Very impressed!

[Magsvape]

Ok I'm back. Not fair to judge a liquid after 2 days steeping when 2 weeks is recommended but......  the flavour is already good and I just know that after 2 weeks (if I have any left by then) it will be superb. These guys know what they are doing.  

Karl and Lew I'm on my way for dinner, what time please?

lol dawoodster...I literally just spat tea all over the place.

I started this thread by writing some nonsense about some samples I had won in a competition run by the lads at Chefs Vapour shortly before they opened for business. Initial impressions were favourable, so as soon as they were properly up and running, I put in an order for some of their produce, paid for by my own money. Well, paid for by PayPal, which isn't real money, is it?

The bottles helpfully say when the juice was mixed, so I have been trying them out in date order to give them, as far as possible, some time for steeping.

I wish I had known about that word, and the ideas behind it, when I was a student. Steeping. Anyone who knew me between the ages of 18-23 would have thought of me as a lazy good for nothing wee shite. Not so. I wasn't being a lazy good for nothing wee shite. I was steeping.

First up is Lew's Brew.

This is a coffee-based juice. The "joke" ever since I was a lazy good for nothing wee shite student has been that I like my coffee the way I like my men: strong and black. Well, Lew's Brew is not a coffee the way I like my coffee. It's a subtle one. Not a yappy espresso, more like a languid mountain blend. Nothing wrong with that, it just happens to be a coffee vape which doesn't taste like the coffee which I habitually drink.

Therein lies the problem. " The coffee which I habitually drink." I drink a lot of coffee. First thing in the morning and all through the day at work. I switch to tea in the evening and at weekends, which brings another problem. If I'm drinking coffee, I don't want to be vaping coffee: that's just too much coffeeness. And if I'm drinking tea, I don't want to be vaping coffee: that's just wrong.

Back to the juice. I've already said it's a subtle one, haven't I? Well, I'll say it again. No, on second thoughts, I won't. I'll say that it's smooth, maybe a tiny hint of chocolate, a touch of sweetness to take the edge off, but not too sweet. It's a quality juice and I'm sitting here, vaping it and enjoying it. If not for the fact that I get my daily coffee requirements from coffee and my othertime beverage requirements from tea, I could imagine this as my all day vape.

So if it isn't great for when I'm drinking coffee and isn't great for when I'm drinking tea, when might I vape it? Well, I can imagine that, after an afternoon of energetic houghmagandie with Nicole Kidman, I might just reach for a carto of Lew's Brew.

On the whole - good work, guys.

Right. Enough of that. Must dash. I think I hear Nicole calling...

Nice review sleepyduck thank you for taking the time to do it! We've had very mixed reviews on Lews Brew and i don't think my description on the site has helped tbh, so i may re-write that.

Thanks again for your honest opinion we really do appreciate you for taking time out of your day to do it!


EDIT- forgot to say.... you're right, PayPal isn't real money.
