Dripping With Flavour



As I've mentioned a few times I belong to many Facebook groups, since I've been Squonking I've joined as many groups relating to squonking as possible. On a few groups I kept seeing this one particular juice pictured all the time.  Curiosity got the better of me, all the posts I saw with A.P.C mentioned all seemed really positive. All these people couldn't all be biased or misleading could they?
So a bit of digging around revealed the name of the site where this and other liquids could be found. That site was Dripping With Flavour, I was very pleased to find another well regarded UK made liquid being mentioned a lot, nothing against US liquids,  the ones I've tried so far for the most part have been great. As a Brit though I have to favour UK made, it's just the right thing to do. Anyway back to it, I got some A.P.C through the door, let it steep a bit and gave it a go, here's what I thought.....


A.P.C

As I'm sure the astute amongst you will have guessed from looking at the picture, A.P.C is Apple Pie and Custard.  I really do like my custards and who doesn't like Apple Pie?  Together you get a traditional dessert flavour which doesn't disappoint. This juice is no exception, as I found out about this juice from a Squonking group it seemed only right to sample it on a Squonking setup. So in the Viper it went and if I'm honest, that's the only juice I've been Squonking with since it arrived. I absolutely love this stuff, I'm so glad I got some. On the inhale you get that sweet spiced Apple Pie and on the exhale that combines with a nice creamy custard which is great. This juice is available in 0,3, 6,12 and 18mg nicotine strengths. You get to choose between 60/40 and 30/70 PG/VG. You can choose from two bottle sizes, a 10ml which will set you back £4 and for £5 more you can get a 30ml bottle. This is where my issue lies, much bigger bottles are needed in my opinion, and I don't think I'm the only one that thinks that. There has been mention of whether or not people would like to see bigger bottles on the Dripping with Flavour Facebook page. Hopefully bigger bottles will arrive sooner rather than later. I'll let you in on a little secret, don't tell anyone but, after speaking with Joe from Dripping with Flavour,  he has hinted that it looks like it will happen. Which is great news as far as I'm concerned, this is right up there in my opinion as one of my favourite juices. I'll definitely be wanting more of this when I run out, my only dilemma is do I buy it now so it has chance to steep before my bottle dies or do I wait for my bottle to get low before I order. There really isn't much else I can tell you about this to be fair, other than its great go and get some for yourself, you'll not be disappointed.  I love it I'm sure you will too. So get some A.P.C and squonk away!!!


Bahama Mama

I got this liquid with the A.P.C, it smells great and it tastes great too. I wasn't so bothered about using a squonker with this one so it went in my Origen V2 with some fresh cotton. If any of you are familiar with Tropical Sparkle you'll love this, it's very similar with one slight difference. There's been some coconut added to the mix and it works so well. The tropical flavours hit you first, the mango and pineapple come through brilliantly then the coconut comes along complimenting the tropical flavour. I only wish 10ml lasted longer, I tend to vape this later on at night and it's good. I've been tempted a few times when the A.P.C ran out in my squonk bottle to try this in the squonker but for some reason it's not quite made it, not because of any particular reason other than because I can't be bothered to clean it all out to change the flavour. If I have any Bahama Mama left when I do I'll definitely be giving it a go. This is the same price as the A.P.C and comes in the same nicotine strengths, mix ratio's And bottle sizes. Again I'll definitely be ordering more of this flavour too, it's very good.

There are quite a few flavours available on the site and after trying these two I am very tempted to try some others. So enough reading, head over to Dripping with Flavour and get some A.P.C in your basket, whilst your at it you wouldn't go far wrong by adding some Bahama Mama to the basket too. Here's the site, have at it people!!!!!

Digbys Mum's Custard


I spend a fair bit of time on varying Facebook pages, and there is a constantly asked question. To be honest, for a good long while every time I saw this question asked I wondered why anyone would want to know the answer. The question always seems to be "what's the best custard?". I know there are countless different flavours and variations of ratio's etc but custard? Anyway the more I saw this question asked the more it got me thinking, if so many people are asking about custard flavour liquids then they must be good, but is there a best custard flavour?
   Theres only one way to find out, so I got some from from one of the most mentioned brands and gave it a go. The one I went for was Mum's Custard from Digbys. I got a 50/50 blend in 11mg strength. With a name like Mum's Custard, who wouldnt want to try it? It brings to mind family dinners and Mum's cooking. The question is though, is it any good? Well I'm going to go out on a limb and say I was suitably impresssd, I really didn't expect to like a custard liquid at all. I don't like to eat cold custard and would only usually eat it hot, poured over my dessert. Right let me tell you about this liquid, it arrived really quickly and came well packaged. On it's arrival I had a whiff of the bottle and it was pretty damn good. A lot of custard liquids come with advice from the vendor to let you know about steeping the liquid in order to get the best flavour from it. This varies between days and weeks and you'll notice the colour of the liquid darken as it does. Its normal and is supposed to happen so don't worry if you get a custard and it's light in colour and after a few weeks it's really dark. This custard is different in that it is batch steeped for four weeks before bottling, this means that when you get it and take that first whiff you wont have to put it away, you'll be able to get that sweet smelling liquid straight in your preferred atomiser and have a vape. This for me was great as I really didn't want to wait to try this liquid out, so in my squonker it went with a single 1.3 ohm coil and I vaped away. This liquid is fantastic, you instantly get the vanilla followed by a smooth milky sweet custard thats really hard to put down. I absolutly love this stuff, the 30ml I had tasted great from start to finish. I can really see why so many people rave about custard liquids. It's just a shame I didn't go for a much bigger bottle, in the blink of an eye it was gone. I need to get more of this, I would urge any of you reading this to give it a try if you haven't already. Seriously payday can not come soon enough.
    Is this the best custard out there? Well it's a little to early for me to say, but I can say this, it's going to take some beating. I think I'm going to enjoy finding out which of the custards out there rates for me as being the best, I'll let you know what I think after I've tried some others.
    There are two variants of this liquid, you have a 50/50 blend available in 6, 11 and 18mg strengths with the choice of 10, 30, 50 and 100ml bottles (you can choose glass or plastic bottles). If however 50/50 blends aren't your thing and you prefer a vg heavy option then they have you covered, they have a second version in an 80/20 blend available in 6 and 11mg strength with the choice of 10, 30 and 50ml bottles (again with the option of glass and plastic bottles). This flavour will cost you between £4.99 and £46.99 depending on your bottle type and amount of liquid you choose, I can see a 100ml bottle being ordered in the very near future. It's pricey if you compare this liquid to the plethora of other liquid brands out there but you know what, after trying this liquid I get why it's the price it is and for me it's well worth it. You can pick this liquid up in some shops too, there's a list of authorised sellers on the site here
