tedster, you have hit the nail on the head old son! I smoked senior service cigarettes exclusively for 40+ years. If I ran out, usually down to people saying, I haven't seen one of those for years! Could I try one? or , my grandad used to smoke them! I would never smoke anything else until I bought a new pack the next day. Now, 11 months since I quit smoking, I still lust after a senior service. I have tried every hyped up juice on the market I think, but apart from a couple of diy juices I could quite easily spark up a senior if offered one(unlikely, as they now cost over a tenner a packet, and people don't offer them around anymore) I have struggled this month due to giving away a bit of juice but am determined not to give up vaping. In answer to your original question No, there is no perfect replacement for me.

Greetings all, killing time and waiting for my Kreeds brews to steep has been hard work this month. Searching daily for some juice to buy that isn't cak has cost me £40+ and leaving me feeling pretty hacked off. In my opinion diy is the only way for me. Searched out a few new recipes and went over to Chefs to order some concentrates and I am greeted with nom nomz juice on sale What's that about then? Just asking.

 Got home from work at 7, opened my parcel too my DNA 200s then had food.. Decided too start soldering at about 8:30 and an hour and half later and after a little test on the beast here's the finished product!!  Lovely bit of wood there, may I ask where you bought the enclosure please? I did have an Italian company bookmarked for wood boxes but seem to have lost it. |

Interesting about the salted caramel being a coil gunker the boy is always complaining about having to burn them off every two days. Incidentally, my wife bought some Tesco own brand salted caramel, has anyone tried it? This one @broadblaster? www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=289599620Although I haven't, wouldn't imagine it being overly strong myself . . . . FW & CCW's are the two that I've used - both very nice, both gunkers. Yes, that's the one Perpetual. Got to admit, it does smell lush though. I will mix a small sample and let him try it. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions. |

Greetings all, I am looking for a caramel custard recipe for my son. I currently mix him an Gvc clone with 7% salted caramel added. He wants more caramel! Shall I just keep upping the percentage ? Anyone got any recipes please?

Well, I took your advice kreed and mixed up 30 ml kustard concentrate. I then mixed 200 ml of juice and you know what? It's a doddle, so much easier with the one shot method, only four ingredients to think about. I mix another couple of juices on a regular basis, I would like to try the one shot with those. How do you work out the percentages please? First time I enjoyed mixing today . Nice one mate.  |

Doh!! I realised it was a stupid question 2 minutes after I posted it! I mix your brew for friends and family and keep running out of mature juice for myself! I haven't been mixing for long and am reluctant to mix more than 100ml at a time in case I mess up. I need to be braver and knock up a big batch !! Everybody I know loves your recipe kreed Thanks for sharing mate.

Cheers for that Kreed, I see you include a handy concentrate mix for your famous kustard. Would the steeping time start when you add the pg/ vg/ nic or from day one so to speak?

Aaaah never thought of that, I do usually leave the top off for a while, but may have been distracted or something. I'll leave it off overnight and see if that improves things. Thanks, and once again all the smart dudes + (dudesses?) on here.

Thanks for the response, I should have been a little more precise. The nic is 4 months old and has been in the freezer for 3 of them. I mix Kreeds at 70% vg 30%pg The nic base is vg. My nic content is 7mg.
I will get some Vape wizard and give that a go. I didn't realise Charlie had released other brews, might be one there for me.(the hardest to please man in the world I'm told!) I'll get decanting.

Greetings all, having waited patiently for my latest 100ml of Kreeds excellent brew to steep, I was chuffed to get started on it yesterday. Unfortunately this mix is a bit harsh on the throat. (7mg UK flavours nic)
I have never had any problems with this nicotine before, but do remember it having a pinkish tinge. This is the first time I have stored it in the freezer. I have since read that decanting into glass bottles may be an
better idea. Is it to late to decant the 500ml bottle now? Can I salvage my juice by adding anything? What with Charlie's custard not being available I am struggling to find something to Vape untill I can get another batch of Kreed's on the go, with new nicotine if necessary. Any thoughts please?
