Richard46 - I do completely agree that delivery/courier drivers are seriously put upon - a set amount per item, crazy schedules etc. I am certainly aiming my wrath at the company rather than the drivers - I'm sure the drivers are treated almost, if not as, badly as their customers. I think worse! Yodel drive me mad, too, once they left 3 'you were out' slips in my mailbox on consecutive weekdays, all with no number to phone to re-arrange the delivery - in the end the damn thing was not delivered. I tried to complain - got the runaround from Yodel and the Vendor so got nowhere very slowly. Never got that package... gave up in the end

Sounds like a goodie tcg69 - I'm looking on their UK website and they have Vanilla Custard (which is their old one) - so are you using the one they call Custard Pi? Their description is: 'I wanted a flavour that tastes and smells good but which also leaves a really nice aftertaste and I am happy that this one does all that. I also wanted to be able to vape it more or less all day without losing the tastebud sensation, it does that too. A rich Custard with some subtle but flavoursome undertones. We hope you will enjoy it..'

Nice to have thoughts on the new FA custard tcg69 - do we have a competitor for the Capella V1?

Based on the recipe that Perpetua drew our attention to from Charlie Noble, this seems to have disappeared off his site, so I can't link. I subbed some ingredients: 6.50% Pear (Perfumers Apprentice) 3.50% Bavarian Cream (Capella - was Flavour West in the original)) 3.50% Vanilla Custard V2 (Capella) 1.50% Vanilla (French Deluxe) (Perfumers Apprentice - was Capella French Vanilla) 1.00% Coconut (Capella) 0.50% Caramel Candy (Flavour West) This is a really nice subtle mix of flavours with very juicy pear to the fore, but not too dominating, it has that wet mouthfeel that is just like a really soft ripe sweet pear. It also introduced me to the joy of FW Caramel Candy - which is a very accurate vanilla fudge flavour, in the background here but was terrific when I made it up as a standalone. The pear is also pretty good by itself.

Nice one, Perpetua, out of the ingredients I only have the 3 TPA creams, so could be an excuse to get more concentrates....

Had my Nebox for over a year now, used to use it a lot with no problems, but leaking started (which I fixed by putting a coil o-ring seal between the coil and chimney - loads of videos on the web on this), thought I'd revive it but I've been getting no firing and an OHM reading of 999.9. What seems to have partially fixed it is whacking the pin at the bottom a few times with a screwdriver as in this video, I say partially because it still reads 999.9 but everything else works (ie can still adjust watts). Anybody got any better fixes for this?

Got mine today yourgurnard . dalealan , lush , phtumshk , VapingBad . A fail for me so not recommended - the lower part of the squonk bottle section is slide on, so is only held by O-rings - the sleeve is not long enough so, when trying to squonk, it pulls the section inward, this is carefully disguised in the video, you probably could use it if you were very careful, but mine has gone straight in the draw!

The Therion, is a goodie, Dave. When I started there were only two types of squonkers, too expensive or too cheap and nasty! I think Kangertech and Eleaf did us all a big favour by popularising Squonking....

Not as if we are short of squonking options now, Dave. Seems like every time I look on the Chinese sites there’s a new squonker on offer, and at every price point, too.

I’ve tried it in several mixes, lush, usually between 1.5 to 2.5%; it’s a nice middling Vanilla, if I want a sweet vanilla I tend to use Flavour Arts Vanilla Tahiti, if I want a less sweet one I use their Vanilla Bourbon, I also like the TFA V Deluxe, but have only recently got it so don’t yet use in any mixes.

Perhaps add a touch more of a straight coffee flavour if you feel that element needs a bit more oomph ghostrider1971 . . . . I like Capella or M&P Cup of Joe as they're quite smooth coffee flavours, or even a teeny, tiny dash of some Tiramisu in a small sample. The above get my vote, too. Flavour Arts do a great Tiramisu, I keep it below 2% in a mix, also their espresso is great (1% or less for me in a mix!), and espresso crème (whish is less full on) even better...

There is this one from L&T, prr. When I tested it I had to go up to 20% to get a strong enough stand alone, and it was a little weak on the rum - if I were wanting a stronger rum I'd start with around 15% of this and 5% of PA's Dark Rum (which is a really nice boozy flavour).
