sent them a message about my experience with the black jack...got this reply

can you please send me the mix you used from start to finish, so we can check how youve mixed it black jack is very very consentrated and as to be mixed at 5% or lower you can see this is a lot thicker than the other this is the liquicewhich makes it a lot thicker. please send me you mix as something not correct if if its sticking to your wick. black jack is one of our top sellers. thank you

Did you send them your mix, Adam78?
I'd be interested to read their response, if you've had one.


I've now tried the Blackjack at
10% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, it smelled fine but tasted weak. Sampled 14 days after mixing and the taste is there but too weak for me.

15% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, it smelled great and tasted okay but with a bitter backbite. Sampled after 10 days, the aftertaste was just nasty.

20% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, an overpowering smell, the taste was so strong that I couldn't vape it for more than a minute. After at least 14 days steeping, the taste was even worse and it gunked my coils after just a few minutes vaping.


I've also tried their Mint Choc Ice Cream concentrate, initially at 10%, then 15%, then 20% and finally at 25% before I got to a vaguely chocolatey taste with no sense of ice cream.


NB. I've only been vaping for 10 weeks and my tastebuds are rather jaded.
Most of these samples were vaped with fairly new and clean-ish 1.8ohm coils on PT Mini 2s and 3s on a Twist (stepping up from 3.5v to 4.5v).

I sent them all back for a refund in the end mate. Didn't trust what was in them after the Black Jack and Horehound...

The day after I got them, the Horehound flavouring had separated into 2 layers (1 about 20ml and the other about 10 ml) the bottom layer looked kind of curdled and weird.

I messaged them on Ebay about the Horehound / Black Jack and that I didn't feel like wasting my time sending them my mix (not sure what good that would have done) and that I'd like to return them for a refund.

Received this reply..

we do always accept returns, but we also like to know how your are mixing as i have never ever had a complaint about mixing this is far more stronger than capels flavours these are super consentrated which you will need to shake very very well before using if you are not willing to send you mix, how can we help. you must be doing something wrong look at our feed back an then you will see its your fault on the mixing side, as all other customers manage to mix all the time and also are repeat customers we even sell to the vapour traders and do sell it in 1ltr bottles also all these flavours are being sold in our own e liquids ??

Anyway..I think I'll be sticking to buying my flavourings from Chef's Vapour in future

[Debbie13]

??? very sorry that these dont seem to be great, maybe they had a shite batch??? No idea but wont be buying anymore from them incase. Although Vapemunki premixed is where all ours come from mainly, think hubby has packed in mixing his own now........

[Adam78]

No need to apologize Debbie always good to try new sources.

[ceedee]

I didn't mean to even suggest it was in anyway your fault, Debbie13.

Thanks for posting their garbled response, Adam.
I won't bother chasing for a refund, just tip it down the loo.


Unless somebody else wants a try with 25ml of 'blow your head off' BlackJack (with a nasty backbite) or 26ml of Mint Choc Ice Cream (without the taste)?

[teethcv]

mine have all been traded across they fourm only one i have left is strawberry they was both shit lol dont beat about the buss and say it out it is lol SHIT

[Debbie13]

Well I tried one and it was good, didnt expect them to be so bad on many others, taste buds again I suppose with many of us, what one likes another may hate etc.....just shows how we all differ

[rednutt]

I got the mint choc ice cream and the chocolate mint both bogging. . Told them it was nasty on the feedback too

[OliverB]

I got Blackjack, Tutti Fruitti, Orange Tictacs and Cinnamon. The first three smelled promising when mixed, but after a couple of weeks steeping had an unpleasantly manky aftertaste. The cinnamon was putrid from the start. Tasted like old cardboard. Binned 'em all. Bolleaux.

[masteedman]

Oh dear I bought the orange flav I'll give it a whirl.I'll make a 5ml to be on safe side lol

[baggieboy999]

I'm suprised there concentrate is getting so many bad reviews on here. I tried Rhubarb and custard , Spearmint , Honey , Lemon , and Earl grey tea. Mixed them at 20% in a 60 vg 40 pg mix and they was all bang on. Even mixing the honey and lemon with a bit of menthol gave a nice lockett taste.

I've now ordered Strawberrys and cream , Grape , Fruit Salad , Cinnamon , and coconut and rum to try. I did put 5 drops of sweatner in all the mixes maybe that made a difference , but overall i was really pleased with the first lot .

[syycoe]

i have the sherbet lemon and cannot fault it tastes as it should, have just mixed up strawberry and some vanilla custard but the custard has to be good to stop me using odpvc which is one days and pvc having a party in the same bottle,so we shall see on that one.

[Perpetua]

I've had a similar experience to the others with the Blackjack flavouring must admit baggieboy999, it's extremely thick ( could be a high VG flavoring ) and very sweet. Which is probably why it's gunking coils so quickly, too much sweetener is known to do that. I sinked it.

However, their Fruit Salad and Rhubarb are I think very pleasant . . . the Fruit Salad especially is just how I remember the sweets.


2 out of 3 successful flavours is fine enough for me.

[dagl]

I mixed up some of the cherry with menthol (10%/10%) at 18mg as a taster.. been vaping it all night and only wish I'd mixed more..
might even "Help me breathe more easily" too
