I could only get the code to take 10% off, fancied some Bastard Custard but not at that price

[Perpetua]

Probably because it's a ' Guest ' concentrate there are limitations on any discounts offered TJ , much like happens with Chefs.

Ahh I did consider that Perpetua but as the email didn't specify I just thought it was all of them, having tried again I can see it only works on the IOC ones and none of the others, cheers.

Can't comment.
Still waiting on the 1st lot I bought to steep.
It's only been a month. 
% wise I mixed mine on the heavy side anyway.
If they are bland at that level I shan't be buying any more.

Yes i mixed mine on heavier side too. Cant remember off the top of my head but mine are nearly 3months old now. The next time i try them and they are bland they are going down the sink.

Mine are still steeping as well, I only went for 10ml bottles, did their recommended % which is unusual for me as I normally mix heavy but wanted to make the concentrates stretch a bit further and didn't add any sweetener to them either, if they are bland then I will just chuck a load of CAP V1 in them to perk them up a bit, hope they're not though.

[thebishman]

..and i have put sweetner in them to aid flavour. Still pants.

Oh dear. Mine could be going the same way. For now I live in hope.

Could just be me. Taste is subjective and all that. I hope you like them

No sweetener in mine either.
I never go by recommended %. Never enough for me whatever I buy.
If a flavour doesn't stand on it's own 2 feet at my mixing levels in my mind it's a weak flavour.
Can't say that for some of my favs though.

[Deleted]

Well i mixed my ones as per recommendations also threw in the E.M as per instructions.
Cutlass
old salty
TBH not a fan at all very unimpressed with them.

[goneforagasper]

A while ago I bought 5 different ones to try and none of them did it for me so I mixed them all together and added Cap VC 1 and I like the result (6 months steeped)
Obviously you shouldn't have to do this but it became vapable

Unusually for me . . . . I find them really flavoursome Bish - I'm in a minority it would seem.


Although I do mix them all at 30% +1% sweetener ( sucralose based ) . . . . . which I find considerably better than the ready made versions of the same flavours.
