Best one shots

[Deleted]

Apart from the aforementioned Rhodonite (which is by far the best I've tried to date and sits at the top of my ADV rotation) Apple Pie and Irish Custard Cream (ChefsVapour Concentrates range) is another nice One Shot mix. Whilst I can't really identify the Irish Cream in it at all (I vape at low watts so that might be why), what I do get is quite a strong caramelised and slightly sweet cooked apple and custard desert flavour that is very hard to put down. They have really nailed cooked apple flavour in this one IMO. Reminds me of Digbys and worth a try for sure.

@hondo - does the Apple Pie & Irish Custard Cream have an liqueur/alcoholic flavour or even a hint of? If not, I may give it a try. I've been quite impressed with the Chefs' own blends I've tried so far.

For my tastes, yes it does have a very subtle hint lemental . . . . others may pick up different notes of course!

Thanks Perpetua

This one's off the list for me then.  Can't stand liqueurs or alcohol in food or vapes!!

I can't normally lemental . . . . but it does work very well in this blend, it's a shame in some respects that Chefs no longer do 10ml of their concentrates just to try a flavour out before committing to a larger bottle.

There's a couple I've bought recently that haven't been to my tastes - there it is, win some/lose some.

Thanks Perpetua   Yes, it is a shame you have to commit to 30ml.  I will have to give the Irish Cream a miss though as even a hint of it really does make me gag!!

I'm sure they did 100ml bottles of their own stuff too but they seem to have vanished too, unless I'm getting mixed up with their other range.  Wouldn't mind 100ml of Doughnut King....mmmmmm!!

Got some of Tom's jam doughnut (Thanks Tom ) steeping right now as well as the Bronuts but based on Doughnut King, I can really see what all the doughnut hype is about!

Mmmmm doughnuts

lemental, I actually disagree with Perpetua on this (yikes) and I can't taste any alcohol at all, but I would bow to her experience over mine and also factor in my aging and damaged tastebuds. I also vape low watts, which might explain it. Anyways, best listen to Perpetua on this - better safe than sorry.

The winner in this One Shot for me is the caramelised cooked apple flavour, which is outstanding IMO, so I am going to email Chef's and ask if there is any way that might consider the same apple blend but with a little custard instead of Irish cream. It's worth a try and I'll let you know if I hear back from them at all.

Great stuff, hondo I'd be on it like flies on brown sticky stuff if they replace the Irish cream with custard

Don't ever worry about disagreeing with me @hondo . . . . you won't be the first and you most certainly aren't going to be the last!


Tastes and how we perceive flavours varies so greatly between us all - I sometimes read write ups about concentrates and wonder if I've actually tried the same one.

Darn it Perpetua, why did I never meet a woman like you in the outside world. You are a credit to this community and thank you so much for being here with us!

[Perpetua]

You've made my day, truly @hondo - thank you.

I must be boring. Still on the Red Astaire, but have added Man Flu and Frozen Forrest from Vapours Oven in there too.

Aside from the usual favourites from tjuice and vampvapes, I'm steadily working my way through the nom nomz range, well worth a look to see if anything floats your boat. I've not been disappointed yet

I mixed up some Funfetti from Waynes recipe and it was lovely.

As soon as I saw his concentrates on Chefs i ordered some more.

The only one i havent tried is the RY4.


My ADV at the mo is Chefs own Nice and Custard Cream . This stuff is like Crack

Awesome
