This is a long shot I know, but I was wondering if anyone had a bottle of Perfumers Apprentice Tobacco Absolute concentrate that they do not use?

Ethyl Maltol is more than just a sweetener. It is also a flavour enhancer.
It helps give a candy effect for fruit flavours and helps add a little body to tobacco and dessert juices.
I mix my crystals at around 15%, but I've seen people recommend anything from 5% to 50%. So I guess its all down to individual taste.
If its just plain sweetness you're after then I'd just get a Sucralose based sweetener like TPA's sweetener.
Although in my opinion the mix you have done will be fine for adding a little sweetness. Like many juice mixes it will develop with a little steeping.

Received some more of the vapable.com concentrates today so have mixed up some 5ml testers of them to gauge strength and flavour.

I received mine too and I'm impressed with the vape from the two kayfuns I've wicked with it so far.
The wick definitely beds in faster than rayon.
I received a free small spool of kanthal in with my cotton, but I've always received a free small spool of kanthal with every order I've made from them.

hi guys can someone direct me on how to make cappela vanilla custard concentrate, as im loving the custardy child mix and going through bottles of it and cappellas concentrate is becoming tad expensive . You have me thinking. This video if for a simple homemade coffee extract, but I'm wondering what the results would be like using powdered custard. Probably horrible, but I might give it a go. EDIT: To say, hold that thought. It would probably work out more expensive than just buying ready made concentrate.

Just reading around the net and it seems some say the SVD pin is solid and others say it is spring loaded. Mine is definitely not springy at all.
Can only think that older models were not spring loaded.
Sorry to have upset you, but I'm sure the SVD I sold JMW wasn't spring loaded either so the advice was given in good faith. If it was a spring loaded model then maybe the advice was daft after all.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a spring loaded one though.

MarkS omg I'm sorry, I really did not mean to offend you or anyone for that matter. You must have seen my posts and know that's not the sort of person I am. I had no idea that the pin was already " stuck down". When the OP had said it would not make contact with the Atty I didn't know it was because the pin was actually stuck / recessed down and obviously I see that attempting to lift it would help. Had the pin not been stuck, I couldn't see being able to ( lift it further up) due to the nature of it being a spring loaded pin in the first place. I am aware of the " lifting the pin" trick on other mods and ego batteries for example when quite often screwing an Atty down too hard will make them stick down. However the svd being a floating pin, I actually thought it might be the pin on the Atty not being long enough. I truly am sorry to have offended you. Maybe I'll just keep my advise to myself from now on. Toby You had no idea it was me or of the correspondence that proceeded the advice to try and prise the pin up so I apologise for getting irked more than I should have at your response. I'm a tad irritable at the moment and probably took your post as a little more to heart than I should have. The SVD is not a floating pin? I've always thought a floating pin can be adjusted from the inside to make contact with an atomiser or battery? I also do not see it as being spring loaded either? It's pretty much the same as the connection on standard ego battery as far as I am aware and from what I can tell from the SVD I am holding in my hand right now. I've never taken one apart so I may be wrong on that and confused on the definition of a 'floating pin'. It is common advice to try and gently tease the centre pin in devices up a touch if they are no longer making contact with any clearos or atomisers, and in most cases it works a treat.

Its not this thread I take exception too.
Its saying the advice given was "daft" when in fact its common advice that works for more people than it fails.

Followed advice from where I bought it and broke it. That is all What a shame, what a daft thing to tell you to do. the pin is spring loaded and i doubt could be encouraged to come out any further. I wasn't implying "you" had done anything silly btw. Paws I take exception to that ruffdog Daft thing to tell him to do? Raising the centre pin gently is advice that is dished out commonly. Its not difficult to gently raise the centre pin and its a common problem on many batteries and devices like the SVD caused usually by over tightening atomisers and clearos to the device. Sorry you broke it jmw but it was in perfect working order and you had even said you had been using it for at least 2 weeks. I did offer to you to return it to me and I'd have a look at it for you, but you had already broke it by then. Apologies for this post but I will not stand by and be made to look like I'm the bad guy here. Edit to add the advice given Notice the word gently used twice!

Wish I could help but have not used either of those concentrates.
Do you have any cinnamon red hots? That's another flavour you can always taste no matter how bunged up you are or how muted your taste buds get.

Their is no "best" concentrates out there. The only thing you can do is trial and error and unfortunately that may result in wasting money.
Any concentrates you buy that you do not like can always be traded via the classifieds though.

Hangsen RY6 is the only juice I still buy on a regular basis. Best tobacco juice I've tried by a million miles imo. OMG! I have traveled across galaxies far and wide trying to find another RY6 fan. ...and there is a not-so-secret one already here on AAEC. There are quite a few RY6 fans out there. I vape it when I want something that is as close to a real cigarette as possible. For me no other liquid I've tried even comes close to RY6 for that.

60ml Fire & Ice 40ml Menthol Shock 20ml Orange Chilli & Aniseed These all sound like they have a kick to them Fire n Ice has a bit of a kick I guess. Its a great juice though. Menthol shock has enough menthol to numb your tonsils, but I never mix the chilli in the orange and aniseed juice so its unvapeable. Just enough to give a little heat and nose tingle.

Been there, done that, haha! Be careful with that Cinnamon Red Hots, it is very strong. I used 2% in a Blackcurrant mix and it's way too much, will try again at some point and use .5% as a safety! For the fire n ice I was mixing, I use 10% Red hots & 10% extra strong menthol. First time any has gone up my hooter though, and hopefully the last. A mistake I've definitely learned from.

did it burn Like hell! I know we all use this as an excuse but I really did only just scratch my nostril and it burnt like hell. Smelled really nice though so a bit of a pleasure & pain aspect going on in a non-kinky sense.
