Hi & Welcome to the forum.
Liking the sound of the triple strength flavourings and good to hear you appreciate the feedback in the reviews.
The only thing with flavourings & ejuice reviews is people really should take them with a pinch of salt as taste is so subjective.
I've read terrible reviews on some concentrates & ejuices that I really like.
I think the important thing people should take from concentrate reviews is an indication of what strength to use, but even then it depends on personal taste.
Anyway good to see @ukflavours on aaec.

Cheers MarkS for the heads up on UK Flavours. Saturday I'm ordering the silver DIY mixing starter kit from thealchemistscupboard but you only get one concentrate with the silver kit which I'll be getting vanilla custard so I've just placed an order from UK Flavours to try out 4 of their sample size bottles. Think that's a great way to start off as I've never mixed before. I've ordered Blueberry Blackberry French Vanilla Sweetener Have you tried any of these yet? The only one I have of those 4 is the French Vanilla. Mixed it up ages ago but still haven't got around to actually vaping it yet. So sorry I'm not much help at the moment.

Here you go MarkS and Perpetua And my vodka concentrate is Kandi Head - don't know if you want to give it a shot Mark, to see how it compares to HC? Happy to put a ml or 2 in the post for you? That's a very generous offer lairey. I'd love to try it and see if its similar to HC's as it means not having to pay through the nose for shipping to get some more. I'll PM you. Thanks for the ROMcard too.

Cheers for the ROMcard laireyI did think that when I was posting it and wondered if anyone would even bother with it due to the amount of ingredients. All I can say is it is worth it as the vape is lovely.

Cheers am still trawling the posts trying to get the hang of things It can all seem a bit too much to take in at first, but the best way to learn is to just jump in and get mixing. You'll learn a lot quicker that way.

You are correct it does come to 24% flavouring. What percentage you use comes down to the strength of the concentrates you use. Some concentrates only require 1-5% whilst others you may need to add as high as 30%. It also comes down to personal preference for strength of flavour. Some like a full on flavour whilst others like just a hint of flavour. Its all part of the learning curve with mixing.

Try it without the vodka/gin altogether. As I said the vodka doesn't really add flavour it just enhances the flavours that are already there in my opinion. CCW Gin does have a taste of its own, but then again try it. It might turn out even better.

I've not tried any other Vodka concentrates other than Health Cabins.
It doesn't really taste like vodka to me so don't think normal vodka would be the same.
It goes really well with fruits and seems to enhance their flavour rather than add any flavour of its own.

I purchased several concentrates from Vapable.com a month or so ago. Lemonade, Rhubarb & Custard, Strawberry Shortcake, Fennel, Cherry, Cola & Blackcurrant.They have all been steeping for several weeks now so I will add the review of each to this post as I try them. All of the concentrates have been mixed at 11mg 60/40 PG/VG. RHUBARB & CUSTARD:Mixed at 20% and left to steep for 6 weeks. This emulates the Rhubarb & Custard sweets to a T. A sweet and sharp rhubarb flavour with just a hint of custard. 20% is absolutely perfect for me although I think some may like to go weaker at around 15%. If you like the sweets then you will love this concentrate as there really is no difference in the taste. They nailed this one. 8/10

Its good to know that these are now available at less than an extortionate amount of money. I'll definitely be interested in a few if you get some more in robby MarkS. I have 5 that I bought of Robby unfortunately they only fit the clone Rose V2. £8.00 for the five of them posted. That's strange because the spare cups that came from the group buy arron did, fit my original Rose V1. Its a factor in me wanting a few more spares at a later date. If these do not fit the V1 then I think I'll leave it, but thanks for the offer.
