Had the chance to try a couple of these and first impressions are VERY good. Gin & Tonic: An interesting one for me to try having never drank the drink, Gin has never passed my lips, but having tried this I may have to succumb to Mothers ruin Mixed this at the recommended 10% in my usual 50/50 no nic mix, smelled divine, tested after 24 hours and I was amazed at the depth of flavour, I consider myself to be a strong mixer normally, and using 10% was very alien, but as I say after 24 hours it tastes very good, I'll report back once it has had a little steep Will be here when it's back in stock
Forest Fruits:This is more like my usual flavour pattern but like the G&T above it's strength amazed me, again mixed at 10%, 50/50 zero nic and tested after 24 hours, this has to be the most natural forest fruit flavour I have found, you can taste the blackberries as if they were real. This will certainly be on my list to order next time. All this and it is PG free for all you max VG lovers Find it here
Thanks to Chefs Flavours Lew & Chefs Vapour Karl for allowing me to try these

Plymouth Gin would be a very good place to start!

Have succumbed to an order of a couple of them, still trying to find the perfect Mango and Apple so have tried them with the Forest Fruits

Q - Did you find the mixes went very cloudy after shaking? I've just mixed up forest fruits and red gin (using new syringes and needles) - I've also mixed Tom's Bluebena using the same PG/VG mix and that mix is "clear".

This is a picture I have taken after making a second bottle of Flavourmonks Red Gin. Another brand new, rinsed out Chef's bottle. This time no syringe - just poured from the concentrate bottle. I'm a bit worried about this now......should I contact Chef's? The same premix was used for the perfectly clear Bluebena concentrate mix

I've no experience of these concentrates ghostrider1971 . . . . . but you could give them overnight to settle and clear - which some do. Then contact Chefs in the morning if you still have concerns.

Perpetua - Thank you, Perpetua - I appreciate I sound like I'm having another "mixing panic" but Q has already said that his mixes were clear from the off after shaking. Also, the consistency of the Red Gin concentrate in the bottle looks slightly misty to me. Added to the fact that the mix when poured away had blobs that floated on water (possibly oil?) I'm slightly concerned about this...

Added to the fact that the mix when poured away had blobs that floated on water (possibly oil?) I'm slightly concerned about this... If it had oil in it, that would have floated to the top of the concentrate bottle and sat on top of your mix ghostrider1971 . . . . that at least I can tell you. Do you do Facebook? If so and you want further reassurance tonight, then contacting Lewis or Karl on there will be the most immediate point of contact - though I can't guarantee they'll be available tonight, but both are generally pretty good at a quick response if they are able: www.facebook.com/lewis.barnett.581?fref=tswww.facebook.com/karl.a.owen.5?fref=ts
