I went for four of them in the end.
Initial thoughts before full reviews to follow:
1) Blue Raspberry Slush - Nice but chronically underpowered 2) Banana Milkshake - Good potential - but waiting another week 3) AC-RY4 - Synthetic tobacco is overpowering (very...) 4) Rhubarb crumble and custard - Thinking/hoping this will be the pick of the bunch. Lick test rhubarb is very favourable.

Concentrate - 20% Overall mix - 70/30 Nic - 4mg Kit - Annoying minkin thing with a touch screen I can't work and a Cleito Pro 0.5ohm @ 60w Flavour - Blackcurrant and orange (Surprisingly...) Steep - 7 days
The cheap and cheerful? "Nothing special"
So, I finally cracked and decided to try one of the fabled Zeus juices.
If you like your cliches old, it was a game of two halves, Brian.
When I first tried this is was like 'Super wow - this is amazing' - and it kind of is. It is a very juicy and fruity 'wet mouth' vape which is very favorable. The orange is like a orange squash or cordial. Quite deep and flavorsome. The blackcurrant it slightly more flowery but not prohibitively so. My first thoughts were simple and professional and very nice.
To be honest, I got bored with it very quickly. I found the flavors dulled pretty quickly and the initial sharpness and zing disappeared.
In a nutshell? For me, it's good but it ain't great. I thought I'd found one to add to the regular rotation list but for me it's now an I'm glad I've tried it but won't be rushing back to it.
Certainly nothing wrong with it - a good solid fruity mix - but just nothing special.

I really missed it when I was away working in China - sad to see how much the activity level dropped. Absolutely superb forum with great people Would love it to get back to the glory days

Evening each,
I'm a huge fan of Kernow Black - probably my all time favourite juice - but I keep reading about Zeus Juice Black - is it that good or that much better?
I can't see a concentrate is available for ZJ Black - only 100ml for c.£20.
At the moment, I pretty much mix up 250ml bottleshots for around twelve quid which I think is pretty good value.

Concentrate - 20% Mix - 70/30 (Yes, I finally bought some PG...) Nic - 4mg Steep - 1 week Usual Voopoo brick - Clieto v.1 with 0.5ohm mesh coil @ 60w Flavour profile - Ummmm...donut and strawberry Short and sweet? Jolly nice. Although I buy most of my vape bottle shots from ELFC, apart from Tommy and HZO I've sadly had to give, for my taste, a few of their own creations a bit of a bashing in the reviews. This one, however, I am delighted to say is really rather good. The two flavours, donut and strawberry, are very distinct and follow each other well. Donut first then followed by a lovely strawberry jam. This makes me wonder why, for me, the ELFC Jammy was so bad. This is a spot on strawberry jam - a nice dollop from a Robinson's jar. Sweet, fruity and very authentic in the fruit flavour rather than being chemically or over sugared. The donut does taste like slightly sweetened and fried dough. It really is very good. Not too sweet but nice and light and very well complimented by the lovely jam. This one is cheap and very cheerful (£5.99 for 120ml bottle shot) - the biggest wins are the balance of flavour.....and that lovely jam. www.eliquidflavourconcentrates.co.uk/mmm-donuts--strawberry-dropshot-by-elfc

Brief update on this one - sadly no sign of the cold still but an absolutely superb flavour - don't want to wreck this with my own WS-23 experiments as the mint and ice cream is absolutely spot on.

20% concentrate (bottle shot) 4mg nic Otherwise max VG Usual Voopoo brick and Cleito v.1 with a Cleito Pro Mesh 0.5ohm @ 52.5w Flavour profile - Blackcurrant jam and custard.... Steep - 3 weeks Quick review? "buy this" So, for me, Dripping Deserts are now two for two on the excellent scale. The butterscotch and custard was superb and this blackcurrant jam and custard certainly is too. I tried my first jam (ELFC Jammy) about two weeks ago and it was so bad I couldn't bring myself to write a review of it - "Synthetic over sweetened nastiness" would be a fair summary, so ordering another jam was a minor leap of faith but I know that Just Jam stuff (which I haven't tried) is very popular so I guessed some jams must be OK. Dripping Deserts are pretty fab. The blackcurrant jam is absolutely spot on. Like taking a big spoonful from an expensive jar of real jam and is packed with fruity flavour. The custard seems more like a cream to me rather than a "custard custard" with the vanilla at the moment but it's smooth and silky. It just feels like a very comforting and luxurious vape. It certainly passes the "very good with a pint mug of Douwe Egberts" test (Sorry - don't know about tea - I only drink 5 cups per year rather than 10 cups of coffee a day....which you probably already guessed...). The sweetness is excellently measured here too. As I've mentioned on numerous occasions I am sweet sensitive and that does kill a lot of custards and deserts for me but this one is on the money. The blending of the (custard) cream and jam is a delight. DD also do a rice pudding and jam...but I absolutely pathologically detest real rice pudding...so, not sure that will make the list for me. So, in summary, an absolute winner for me. The vape aroma is also delightful as is the aftertaste.

thebishman - Pinched this from Google - "The lychee fruit has a sweet, aromatic taste to it. Some people say it tastes like a grape with a hint of rose, while others claim it tastes more like a pear or watermelon. The combination of sweet and tart means the lychee pairs well with other tropical flavors." For me - a bit sweet, a bit sour and a bit perfumy - I really like eating real lychee fruits but I would say it is a bit of an acquired taste

20% concentrate (bottle shot) 4mg nic Otherwise max VG Usual Voopoo brick and Cleito v.1 with a Cleito Pro Mesh 0.15ohm @ 60w Flavour profile - Mint chocolate chip ice cream Steep - 3 weeks Short and sweet? Absolutely bang on Ok, so mango and lychee earlier and now ice cream. Even looking at the grey sky in SW London tonight I certainly am trying to believe it is still summer. Being usually a fruit or fruit and menthol kind of guy, I think this is only the second ice cream I've ever tried albeit I've certainly had some very decent stuff from DH before. The thing I really like about this one is that is seems to vary with vape speed (bear with me on this one...) - a very quick inhale gives me nothing but I then get mint, chocolate, wafer and cream on the exhale - and it is superb. A much slower inhale and I get mint and cream and then wafer and chocolate on the exhale. The mint seems stronger on the inhale and then almost as if the cream is added with the chocolate coming later. The only thing, for me, this is missing is the ice cream cold. A good smash of WS-23 (it is supposed to contain Koolada) and we could possibly go from excellent to excellent + 1. This is literally almost as good as going to the freezer and grabbing a tub of green mint and chocolate ice cream and just diving in. But, unfortunately, without the cold. The flavours are spot on and mix together beautifully. I wasn't sure if 3 week steep (noting 6 weeks is suggested) would do this one justice. If it improves more over the next couple of weeks, well - that's just another bonus www.driphacks.com/mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream/?v=79cba1185463

20% concentrate (bottle shot) 4mg nic Otherwise max VG Usual Voopoo brick and Cleito v.1 with a Cleito Pro Mesh 0.15ohm @ 60w Flavour profile - Sweet mango and lychee Steep - 12 days Short and sweet? - Absolute winner I've had a couple of others from the Boss Shots range and was pretty impressed. Being fully affiliated with the Philippines now I must confess I have grown to enjoy a mango vape...and have always liked lychee flavour. Probably Bamski Lychee is my all favorite juice but it is prohibitively expensive here and very hard to find even in the Philippines. Anyway... The top note for the this one is the mango. Juicy and pungent with a little sweetness. Very, very good. Then an ice layer kicks in. It is pretty strong but not prohibitive. Leaves a nice cool on the back of the throat rather than a cryo vocal chord freeze. I then get the lychee as the last thing and it is actually pretty subtle. Smooth, juicy and fruity with a decent punch of ice. The flavours mix well together and it's smooth and flavorful. When I opened the bottle it did smell quite flowery which worried me as I've had this is a number of lychee based juices but the flowery certainly wasn't reflected in the vape and the taste on this one. Very, very good flavour-boss.co.uk/product/super-manchee-boss-shot/
