Just on the sniff/lick test it seems a stronger flavour than FA's Adam78, which although very nice, I do find quite weak. So I've high hopes for this one.

Is there a rough guideline for how long single flavours need? Like custard should be 4 weeks to be on the safe side, but what about fruits, menthols, coffee, sweets as in toffeeish, . Some people seem to be using them pretty quickly.

I vape all my fruit/mint/menthol/aniseed etc straight away .. mix/zap in microwave for 5 seconds/shake like crazy for 1 minute/vape PVC is the only one I let steep but I do like it fresh too. Must admit I'm hesitant to try any of the custardy/buttery vapes from Ebay as the manufacturer is an unknown. Edit: sod it, Black Jack/Horehound/Fruit Salad/Rhubarb & Custard ordered

Anyone who has tried the Black Jack from Ebay, does it have Anise essential oil in it? (does it go cloudy when mixed & shaked?)
Is aniseed flavouring possible without anise oil?

I'm about to try a 5ml test at 20% concentration, 60/40 @18mg. It's so dark I can't tell if it's cloudy but there's no sign of oil separation. I've not mixed anything with so much VG: is it normal for 60/40 juices to take ages to soak in to a 306 bridgeless dripper? Edit: My tastebuds are all but non-existent but at 20% the blackjack is damn strong! Next step is to bung some in a baby Aspire and see how quickly the coils gunk up.

I ordered Turkish delight and vimto , mixed at 20% 60/40 vg/pg and started vapeing straight away and they both taste fantastic . I'm gonna be ordering plenty more from them if they are all as good as these , can't go wrong for the price

Just received my Black Jack/Horehound/Fruit Salad/Rhubarb & Custard Apart from the horehound they all smell good & strong, the horehound is almost completely odourless though. Will be interesting to see how these vape.

Not sure what's happened but I made a 5ml mix of 20% Ebay Black Jack, 5% FA Anise and a couple drops of Vape Wizard. After about 10 toots I got a really grim flavour..tried to vape through it but it just got worse can only describe it as burning caramel or gravy browning or something. checked my coil and sure enough it was all gunked up with what looks like burnt sugar. Is everyone finding the black jack ok..is it just me or...?

After leaving it alone for a few days (total steep time around a week now), this afternoon I've tried it in a Protank Mini (with a two-day old coil) and although the coil is still functioning, I'm getting much less vapour than from other juices. And I can hear the coil continuing to 'fizz' after releasing the power button. Have to say it doesn't taste much like BlackJacks as I remember them.

I tried a little 10ml mix of 20% blackjack too... There's definitely something in the background that's absolutely foul. I don't think I'll be making any more up.

Haven't mixed mine yet must admit, didn't have the time I was planning on . . . maybe after a little steeping time, the flavours will be better blended?
