If you placed the Chefs order this afternoon and that's all you need, either drop them an email tonight explaining that you hadn't been able to find it on the website (it's listed under Additives) and they may be able to add it to your order (and send you paypal link to pay the extra) or give them a call first thing in the morning.

They're very friendly and understand that we all make mistakes from time to time.

No, according to wikipedia they've been around since 1990 as a commemorative coin that's also legal tender.

I've been recommending one very similar to dagl's except that for a few extra quid, you can over-ride the auto-off settings so you'll never lost where you are while mixing. 
It's called the On Balance Envy NV-500 and it'll cope with 500g total weight to an accuracy of 0.01g and costs £11.99 +£2.99 shipping from Cream Supplies

If you can manage to concentrate for more than a 2 minutes, I'm sure the cheaper ones will do fine.

Just in case dagl's link stops working, here's another ebay seller of the I-2000 for almost the same price.


If you can't imagine ever wanting to make more than say 50ml of one juice, you could do worse than to chose the excellent Smart Weigh SWS100 (100g max, 0.01g accuracy, 60sec time-out for less than £10) from Amazon.






Just in case anyone can't figure out how to use the settings to over-ride the auto-off settings on the NV-500

1. The default Auto-Off setting is 180 seconds if inactivity[sic].

2. To change the Auto-Off time setting or disable this function, please follow these steps:

a. Turn on the scale by pressing "ON/OFF" key and wait until "0.0" is displayed.

b. Press & hold the "TARE" key for 5 seconds until "180" is displayed.

Press "MODE" key to cycle through your choices of "0 / 60 / 120 / 180" seconds. Turn off the scale, Auto-Off setting is completed.

c. Turn on the scale.

If user chooses "0" seconds in previous step, it means the Auto-Off function is disabled. To keep a longer battery life, please turn the scale off by pressing the "ON/OFF" key after each use.

He - I'm pretty sure it's a he, though I can't immediately find any proof - has a couple of fairly amazing 'discoveries' to his name.

Another one was adding some Acetyl Pyrazine to Chocolate and Cocoa...
Recipe and an interesting discussion continues further down the thread

I'm far too tight to recommend something you have to pay for without moaning about it...

HIC's Notes on FlavourArt Flavourings:




I'd urge everyone who regularly uses FA flavours to get hold of a copy of HIC's invaluable Notes on FlavourArt Flavors by signing up at gumroad.com/l/GwMpo#. You'll receive an email with a download link for a pdf of this ultimate reference work on FA concentrates.

Grab it while you can, read it, read it again, refer to it every single day - I can't recommend it highly enough.

I knew it would be bad but not this bad.

I thought 'they' would find a way to test say the juice without the nicotine as one element, and then just the nicotine, as another.
Rather than have to fork out for 12 bloody tests covering every possible permutation.

And all the testing will done by private labs so there won't even be a penny going to the government.  
Hell, even the MHRA's fees have been calculated only to recoup their costs administering the notification/approval scheme.
