But it still won't replace nanas. And tis a sad day today vaping the last of my nanas cream. When I bought it I was like Meh if I like it I'll buy more. Loved it and then thought well if it's this good surely they'll keep on making it.
Alas this wasn't the case. Lesson learned if I like something buy all the stock and sell it later for more cus it's a rare item lol

Right now. All juices are missing. Payday is only a day away...
Also still looking for a coffee vape, almost wanted to ask nespresso if they would consider venturing into the vaping business, maybe one day. As regards coconut, I am really loving Complex Chaos Coconut Comfort, in my daily rotation, very refreshing and not overpowering, in my humble noob opinion, one of the best I have vaped.
This is an old thread... I have found a good coffee Vape. Frappe from Milk Lab.

Subtlety. Originality. The juice world is missing both these key elements to elevate it to connoisseur activity. Well local juices at least.
Where is out Milkman or Moondust?!

I have to make 3 bottles last till Friday and all of them have a third gone already. Whelp... moan... weep...
Ya I must say, trutyfully, Intl. juices were always a hit or miss with me.
I either thought, f*** I paid R250 for this mediocre uninspiring stuff. Or it rocked my world. Its totally understanble when you look at the US distribution system. Look at it in its entirety. Some of the best US juices have never gone "commercial" on the distro front.
Local juice of new has learned from all we were exposed to, so it's generally rocks.

Not sure if these have been mentioned, but I would like some authentic South African flavours like:
Milktart
Malva pudding with custard
Koeksusters
The whole Steri Stumpi range
Brandy and Coke

This.
Besides the Brandy and Coke (no idea what that tastes like).
Sticking with the South African favourites theme, somebody make a Speckled Eggs flavour. Please! Also, butter biscuits. And peppermint pudding!!!
I think what we're missing in SA is just that bit extra in our methodology. American juice makers have the advantages of bigger general budgets and general access to exotic ingredients and ideal environments. If you look at what Five Pawns or Phillip Rocke do to achieve their flavours, it's pedantic to the levels of a top class winery. We certainly have the culture to recreate the same processes (they're not overtly different from making beer, wine or spirits which we do quite well I believe) but the nature of niche movements over here is that the numbers just don't add up in the same astronomical way. In other words, local ejuices are more like microbreweries, working with limited space, budgets, time and ingredients to get to market. And it's not even the mass market.
Maybe what we need is for the juice makers to come together, form a big business, hire a Californian juice consultant and invest in a dedicated laboratory/repackage an old winery, with clean rooms and barrels for all of our okes to experiment in methods and develop gourmet offerings on par with the import lines. If not that, then maybe a group of experts can get together and we can all crowdfund a world class lab for all our juicemakers to work in based on some sort of community exchange.
That being said, I don't believe we are far behind the Western juice makers. If they did a census on the quality of each country's juice, I'm sure we'd figure pretty high up.

I wonder if it's possible to do a good steelworks juice?
Steelworks
1 shot of Rose's Kola Tonic (available at African Hut)
A splash of Angostura Bitters to taste (available at any liquor store)
Top up with ginger BEER (not ALE)
Always add ice at the end-- not before adding ingredients
Variations: You can also use half ginger beer, half soda water. You can also add a shot of Rose's Lime Juice.

Some of our juice makers already have and use all of that, including the barrels.
It's more than just the barrels that I'm talking about. Like pallets, they're probably not that hard to come by.
But I'll take your word for it, and believe it's just a matter of time before we catch up.
Everybody always says 'taste is subjective' but yeah... guess nobody means it.
Taste is subjective. I wasn't tryin to imply its not.
Hi man, Mikes Mega Mixes has an awesome Butter biscuit type flavour. Biscuit dreams is the name.

But where is the spirits portion of this recipe ?? #NotAnAlcoholic
You haven't lived till you try a steelworks bro, available at any self respecting Golf Course. This is one incredibly refreshing drink on a hot day.
Here's another recipe I found. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/472244710903176860/
