Ask me again in 2 weeks I am sure I read somewhere that the regular was a clone/rebottle of something. Trouble is I can't find it now I suppose I was hoping that the triple concentrate was the same and not some thing. Ahh well another lesson learned. Dont be too clicky with the mouse ???

I have a feeling it could be a re-bottle of the Capella. Perpetua might know, or lairey. Come on girls, share your knowledge with us mere mortals!

I think it's TPA's, well at least the normal strength one. Although I am taking Perps word for it... she was 99% certain. As for the triple strength, I have no idea I'm afraid

One of the earlier bottles had a code on it that started CAP. Perps compared it (lick test as well) and in her opinion was the same as capella. If it not its very close. I have 2 lots of CLC, 1 with cap one with ukf, both smell the same so far

I have 2 lots of CLC, 1 with cap one with ukf, both smell the same so far Sorry, but it was definitely TPA. Capella and TPA Vanilla Custards are almost identical and either can be used in CLC. But 100% certain that the original product code began with TPA not CAP

Definitely TPA's the regular strength . . . I'm 99.999999999999% positive of it! Side by side TPA's . . . . in RL the colour is the same, clear/opaque bottles distort it a bit. I've ordered and received a bottle of the triple strength, for research purposes as you do. . . . tastes exactly the same as the regular, just a bit more intense. Not entirely certain it's triple for my taste buds - maybe more like double for me.

Mmm, Lemon Custard, could be a go-er, that! Perpetua, if you were used to using say 20% of a regular concentrate, how much would you use of the Triple Strength? 10%, or err on the side of lush, and go for 12%-ish? I have some Custard steeping which used their regular strength, but I will be ordering some triple once I have used all of this up.

I've been pondering that myself Andy chykensa . . . It certainly doesn't taste intense enough to only use a third of what we normally do ( to me anyway ) maybe split the difference and try 11%?
