Five pawns eliquid

[Deleted]

Hi all,

I was given 5mls of gambit by a bloke at work , it was very nice . I wouldn't say it was head and shoulders above some of the best I've tried to date but on par with them.

The one flavour profile that I thought was damn good was the cream base.

Anyone else tried them?

Ta me p

Misread that as "prawns"!!! Was nearly sick

I tried a couple of them yesterday at Vapefest Ireland, Cigatec had the whole range. My personal favourite was Castle Long, think it may well be the best e-liquid I've ever tasted. I couldn't justify spending €28 for 30ml though, so just went to the stand now and again for another little taste. Fantastic stuff!!

I've noticed there's a couple of clone recipes knocking about, for those 5pawns flavors - definitely seen a good gambit so it might be worth doing a diy version if they are outrageously expensive!

I've taken to buying a few classifieds juices of late to give me an idea what I might like to mix... rather than just stumbling about in the dark and I'm going to copy a few recipes and hopefully recreate a couple of space jam juices I'm liking.

Found a Castle Long clone recipe last night, apparently it's really close to the real thing. I'll be giving it a go soon, if it is close to the real thing I'll have a new ADV.

Was it this recipe iLardyboy?  I made a bottle last week, think it will need another week or two steeping though...

aha! marvelous, our lairey is already on the case

I know taste is subjective.... but that looks a truly hideous combination of ingredients ??? just goes to show eh

This is the one I found lairey:

All TPA concentrates

2.5% Kentucky Bourbon
1.5% Coconut Extra
1.5% Acetyl Pyrazine
1.5% Toasted Almond
1% Vanillin
1% Bourbon Vanilla
1% Brown Sugar Extra

It had a lot of really good comments, so hopefully it'll be good.

I can't see a TPA concentrate for vanilla bourbon on Chefs so I may have to substitute for another.

The description and reviews make me think that it'll be really nice...

Ah, it is the same one... I didn't have coconut extra, so doubled up on the coconut to compensate

Have you done a taste test lairey? How was it?

Not yet... will let you know when I do.  I haven't tried the real one though, so won't be able to compare it.

I'm on day 3 of a stomach bug, right now nothing appeals! I've barely eaten as I'm feeling so queasy barely vaped all weekend and that's not like me!

But I've never been fond of coconut...I keep giving it a go but only one that isn't bad is fluffy nuts... but then I don't like gin but love gin addiction, so I try to keep an open mind

OK iLardyboy, I had to give it a go... only 5 days old, in my origen clone with a single 1.9 ohm coil at 16.5 watts.

I'd say it has promise.  The coconut and acetyl pyrazine is there and the bourbon in in the background on the exhale, but it needs more flavour in general

I'm going to mix a second batch within the next few days and up all of the % a bit, but hopefully steeping will improve this one.

If anyone does make some I will buy some of you inc postage costs and review it .
