Ethyl Malitol is used in a lot of low carb 'sweeties' - but beware of its laxative properties if used in food - been there, done that, and you really don't want to know about the t-shirt I can see me trying some of my flavourings in coffee (hazelnut, chocolate?), and also in cream (I'm on a low carb diet) to make a kind of faux ice-cream (lemon meringue pie cream, yum!). Hmmm - must try this!

Oo, that's exciting! That makes 4 places I can get vaping stuff from in Brighton - yourselves, TW up Elm Grove, the Vaping Vault in Baker St, and that hippie shop in the Lanes (limited selection). Still waiting for someone to open a shop in Hove though - hoping for George St as there's loads of empty shops down there, and loads of passing trade/smokers. Would look into it myself, but I live in Ireland half the time, so wouldn't make sense! I'll try to pop ion next time I'm in town

Hmmm...I've never had anything but brilliant service from Vaperus, with orders usually arriving the following day (when I'm in Ireland). Angela (if it was she you spoke to) has gone out of her way to help me when I'm confused, and has often popped in a little freebie with my orders, too. I'll alert her to your post (I know they're members here but may not check the forum every day) and see if she can help. Sorry you had a bad experience!

Hiya fistofsouth (can't tag you for some reason!) and welcome. My one and only trip to the US started in Carrolton, Texas, and I was amazed by the heat - first place I'd ever been where it was cooler indoors (thanks to amazing air con) than outdoors. Also the place I smelled my first (and only) skunk! Skunk as in animal, not as in weed I live in Ireland most of the time, though am a Brit, and currently back in the UK for various reasons concerning my Dad and family (funeral, birthday). I found Texas people very friendly, though was alarmed at the distance we had to drive to find somewhere that sold liquor - we were in a 'dry' area! Ireland also had a bit of a heatwave for the past 3 weeks, but it seems to be back to normal now - according to my husband, it's persisting it down right now Jo

I don't get a biscuit taste from it - it's hard to describe - nothing like a stinkie, more of a pipe tobacco flavour with a subtle sweetness to it.

No problem here as yet, but it's been inside in the relative cool throughout the hot spell. I'd be gutted if it went wrong Think you can get a replacement LCD but wouldn't know where to begin fitting it!

Try some home mixing? I just posted three mix recipes in the Mixology section that are tobacco based, and which work well for me as all day vapes - including with a drink. When I'm not drinking, I like coffee flavours, but they don't seem to go so well with booze to me. If you don't want to go the home-mixing route, try some of the Pipe Sauce (Longbottom Leaf, Shire Malt, Oak Barrel Cider etc.) range - they work in the pub for me

I've been working on creating something that falls into the same taste area as LBL (obviously taste is subjective, and mine may differ from yours), and have come up with three mixes that really hit the spot for me. Thought I'd share. All are based on a 10% Decadent Vapours Rich Pipe/5% DK Tobacco mix, which gives a sort of rolling tobacco background. I start by mixing 2 ml of 36% VG with 6 ml of 18% PG, and then add a total of 2 ml flavouring - all a bit hit 'n mix, but I end up with a juice that seems the right strength for me. Anyway, on to the flavouring mixes: ORANGE TEA
10% DV Rich Pipe 5% DK Tobacco 2% LT E-cigs Caramel 5 drops Flavourart Tea (Green) 5 drops Flavourart Orange 2 drops Flavourart Vape Wizard BEE TREE10% DV Rich Pipe 5% DK Tobacco 10 drops Flavourart Honey 5 drops Flavourart Oak (wood) 2 drops Flavourart Vape Wizard BLACKWOOD
10% DV Rich Pipe 5% DK Tobacco 2% LT E-cigs Caramel 5 drops Flavourart Oak (wood) 5 drops Flavourart Liquorice 2 drops Flavourart Vape Wizard If you try any of them, let me know what you think - I left them to steep for about a week, which did make a difference, the orange flavour, for example, was missing totally when first mixed, but has now emerged! I'm not saying these replicate LBL in any way, but they're kind of variations on that theme - and I find all of them good as all day vapes

I might actually make this meet! I'm dogsitting in Burgess Hill during the day, so am 1/4 of the way up to London already - should be free by about 5 pm, so could just get a train up, instead of down (ie back to Brighton). Will keep my eye on this thread re definite venue then

I love the lime zinger too - I mix it at 15% with 5% lychee - very refreshing! At the moment I'm working on Longbottom Leaf style juices - it's what the husband likes - have to admit I'm beginning to like it too (well, my variations on it), though my favourite home mix is still 10% doppio espresso 10% LT E-cigs coffee. I hate menthol with a vengeance!

Not sure I'll be able to make the LSE meet this time (am dog-sitting on Saturday, but dunno whether it's daytime or evening yet), but am organising a tiny meet up in Brighton on Monday 22nd July at The Hobgoblin in London Road, starting around 7.30 pm. Pub is definitely vape-friendly, but they don't do food. Anyone who can make it would be welcome - think there's 3 or 4 of us so far. Let me know if interested!

Funnily enough, someone from my local (to Brighton) FB photographers' group posted this today:
Which is the Cobb, at Lyme Regis, in case anyone was wondering!

I'm vaping a home mix of 15% DV Lime Zinger and 5% Lychee (can't remember the source) - it's very refreshing! Just checked - the Lychee is from Flavourart
