On the other hand some of the packaging played right into the hands of the "think of the children" brigade - I've received some juice in packaging that looks almost identical to the Kellogs varity pack cereals complete with a join the dots seahorse on the back of one, a maze on another and a colouring in picture on a third. Yeah I've got them too and I do know where you're coming from. The brand Shark Gummies has never sat comfortably with me. I'd like to think the Morning Glory packaging is more aimed as a piece of nostalgia rather than directly targeting children. But you are right, there are those out there who'd be all over it like a rash to make a point. |

MarkS - Excellent thread idea  Going to show the taste subjectivity thing now Pocket fuel Candy Cane - Very sweet and a bit wishy-washy - for me another 10% of flavour would be good Twelve Monkeys Kanzi - Fruitylicious and a very soft taste.....but still prefer bestcigliquid clone Morning glory choco pebbles - Absolutely tasteless. Annoying.... Elements Pink Lemonade - One of my top 3 ever - it zings and hit hards. Coil killer but don't care! Miami Drip Club Little Havana - Just tastes of enamel ripping sweet caramel to me - will give it a pop in the RDA and see if that improves Pink Skull Vapours Fudge - Absolutely amazing. Perfect soft buttery fudge flavour. WFFL Lemon curd - Very, very nice. Not quite Chef's tarte au citron (haven't tried DL...) but very impressed The taste subjectivity is my main reason for posting this thread. It interests me that we all get something different from juices and how our preferences and taste buds differ. Shame you didn't like the Little Havana. If you still don't get on with it when you try it in the dripper, let me know and I'll buy it off of you. |

Bomb Squad Fallout - 'juicy mixed fruits and sweet watermelon candy flavored e-liquid' - umm yeah right, more like very very weak slightly sweet nothing, tried pepping it up with some pineapple concentrate but it turned proper nasty so I sinked it I think Bomb Squad, The Collection and Malicious all come from the same Juice maker. I could be wrong on that but if so it's interesting you find this juice sweet and pretty tasteless. Just like I did with the Sapphire. I have some Fallout myself as well others from these ranges, so I'm hoping most of them aren't just sweetener overkill. |

What was really interesting about this last week was how these expensive juices are being marketed, described and packaged, a real eye opener. Some of them are being termed premium quality boutique and all manner of other descriptions you usually associate with perfumes...and some of those prices  I've got a few still to be delivered but the range I've been trying is WFFL, I got all of their flavours in 6mg, for £4 each. They're all 10/10 especially for that price! But up to now these WFFL flavours are awesome, I'd definitely buy more (when they're on sale)  I agree that some of the prices were mind blowing. I could never bring myself to pay that much for e-liquid no matter how good it was. Some of the packaging although unnecessary was stunning though. For example how the Captains Reserve stuff is bottled and boxed does give the impression of a luxury high quality item. Good to hear WFFL getting good comments around the site as I have 60ml of the Lemon Curd. Made me wish I'd bought some more of their range now. |

Flawless Hot Mess - the description reads churro with ice cream, I get hot cross buns lol. not that its a bad thing as it lovely. Mr Meringue - similar to the Dinner Lady but doesn't quite hit the mark. one of my worse purchases too as I assumed it was a 60ml bottle (as shown in image) but turned out to be 10ml. no mention of size in basket or invoice. after complaining I did find the size hidden under the descriptions tab. £10 for 20ml I wont be buying again. The Hot mess sounds delicious. I love hot cross buns. Sneaky of them to show a different bottle size to the one in the description. Bet you wasn't the only one to make that mistake. |

Pearl & Pearana sound delicious snow might have to borrow the recipe from you you found for the pearana. Glad you liked The Little Havana dalealan and wish I'd bought some Lemon eleven now. Creepy Manor Wolfie: Banana, Cereal, Milk I tried this juice today as SMKD still have some in stock at £2.50 30ml. So I thought I'd give the bottle I have a go in case I really liked it and I could buy some more. It's a Malaysian juice and I've seen there has been a bit hype about Malaysian E-Liquids, so was eager to try it. I dug out my Velocity dripper and wicked her up and gave her a good drip of the Wolfie E-liquid. Started at 40w and not getting much flavour. Nothing unpleasant, but just not much there. Went up in increments of 10 all the way to 100w and still not getting much flavour. Had a read of the bottle and noticed its 55% vg 45% pg so decided it would be better off in a tank. A quick rinse & wick change in the Goblin mini and filled her up. Been vaping it all morning but still there isn't much flavour to the juice. There is a very subtle banana, and it's a little milky but no cereal as far as I can tell. I'll happily vape the bottle, but I'm not going back to SMKD to buy the rest of the stock. The packaging is pretty fun though. |

Uwell Rafale and another 120 ml of E-liquid ordered for under £15 delivered. Will it never end?  Nope. Because now I'm on the hunt for RBA's/coils! Which the Rafale has you'll be pleased to know . . . . . . www.fasttech.com/product/4861100We can be proud members of Mark's Norty Club at least TJ .  Thanks for the link Perpetua Bookmarked for a later date. The only thing I really need right now are some 18650's for the mods I have coming. Will probably get them from Next Day Batteries who seemed reasonably priced. |

Just a heads up I got my order from eclearvape today they just threw all the glass bottles in a jiffy bag , no bubble wrap etc Yes you guessed it, I ended up with a damp, sticky lovely smelling delivery That's annoying. I never pulled the trigger on my cart from there, but if I had I'd be disappointed if that was the care that was taken to dispatch my order. Yes it was bargain juice, but that doesn't mean your order should get budget care. |

Thank you for all my birthday wishes everyone. I've had a good day. Been out with a few friends tonight for pizza and drinks and feeling a little sozzled. Once again thank you kindly for the felicitations.  |
