How has your e-liquid offering changed over the years? We were one of the first to market with UK-made e-liquids, which was a big deal back in 2010 - now all of our e-liquid is manufactured in the UK. We’ve always had our e-liquid tested at source and in independent labs, so we are pleased that the TPD means that all e-liquid sold must be of the same high standards, this is actually a major plus for the customer as a result of the TPD (I know we all like to slate it, but production standards are a good thing). We have an in-house flavour guru who creates recipes for us and sees through the manufacturing process. We all enjoy testing days. We started with 1 range and we currently sell 6 ranges, consisting of: Standard, Premium, picNIC Easy Mix, Clear Steam Vapourless and 2 x Gourmet liquid ranges: Liquid Zwo (PG/VG 50/50) and, brand new for summer 2017 – Bryn’s Special Sauce (High VG) – this is a really exciting range and the flavours really are something else. In total we have about 80 flavours to offer vapers across our ranges (with 100 more being added to picNIC later this year), whether they prefer high VG, High PG or 50/50. What do you think about the innovation in e-liquids over the past few years? Our industry is amazing for innovation and it’s a really exciting time for new e-liquid flavours, you only have to check out Instagram to see how many interesting new brands are emerging, almost weekly. Obviously there has been a surge in liquids in the 3/6mg High VG area over the past couple of years to support sub-ohm vapers. We think there is a place for crazy flavours as well as more standard flavours – our Standard and Premium ranges really ‘do what they say on the tin’ – the flavour inside is exactly the same as the name on the bottle suggests. No guessing, just straight up great quality flavour delivered as stated. Our Gourmet ranges and picNIC flavours are more complex and come complete with some interesting names; We’ve just added 12 new flavours to our picNIC range and they span from Tropicapple and Cherry Rubus to Tart Fuzz and Heisenbergerest. Liquid Zwo has Snake Kiss and Kitten’s Breath whilst Bryn’s Special Sauce comes in Papricot Custard, Te and Sour Blue Raspberry. Sometimes with new e-liquids on the market the packaging can be more interesting than the actual flavour. At our heart, we really only care about flavour. Smart boxes and bottles are a plus but nothing beats a flavour that stops you in your tracks. Where do you see the progression of e-liquid? I think if we all keep innovating we’ll start to see even more complex flavour combinations and ‘E-liquid mixologist’ will become a job title in its own right. It really is a skill to mix a great tasting e-liquid and should be recognised. Oh, and we’ll continue to keep adding great new flavours to our ranges to ensure we don’t stand still.
