I was trying to find someone in Australia who stocked Real Flavors Strawberry jam on toast for a recipe I want to try. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone who stocked it but did come across Vape train who stock Strawberry,raspberry and blueberry jam concentrates.
As I believe these appear to be their own creations I'm just wondering if anyone has tried any of their concentrates or juice. They certainly seem to have quite an array of choices

In the dark recesses of my muddled mind I do vaguely remember this company being launched but completely forgot about them. Any information I've gleaned from the net seems to be contradictory with some loving and some hating them.
Ive obviously paid particular attention to the jam opinions but couldn't find any with particular praise.

I have a few.....They are hit and miss, just like everyone else....

Love the fizzy sherbet, toffee ice cream, and honeycomb

I haven't tried any of the jams, but I have tried jammit recently. It's a good concentrate, I was just a bit disappointed that it has its own fruity flavour.

Plenty of flavour notes here....but not for the jams!

Thanks for that Laurie as it was an interesting read. A few others in that list had caught my eye but after reading the reviews perhaps I might at least give them a miss.
Jammit was another that I thought could have possibilities and for some strange reason marmalade is also. Strange because I never really liked marmalade!

After all these months I decided to place an order with Vapetrain as they do have some unique concentrates and I thought sod it life is too short to wonder.

I placed about 14 ( I think) concentrates in the cart and proceeded on.

But was stopped short because of the $19.10 standard shipping charge. Not even express. WA from NSW.... A little excessive I summarised.

I thought that being a complete electronic numpty I stuffed up but apparently not. I dare not proceed to PayPal because I felt like I was being ripped off.

I'm not going to continue any further as I have contacted Vapetrain for any sort of explanation and refuse to be violated in the wallet department unnecessarily.
If that is their true costs ( and I have no idea why) they can get stuffed.

Just thought I'd post because if that's what they're charging....well I'll leave that there.

If that cost changes once PayPal is activated I apologise but if it doesn't... I'll leave that there as well.

I'm happy to hear an explanation but until that time..... I'll leave that there.

The concentrates I placed in the cart had been enticing me for a while and decided they were worth a go but I don't 'need them' so...... I'll leave that there.

If I lived in Outer Mongolia I'd understand but I don't. I live about 15 kilometers out of Perth cbd.

I have found it to be cheaper to buy VTA concentrates from the UK......(I'm not kidding).

For example: 30ml - Carrot Cake

Vape Train = $17.95
Chefs = 6 pounds = $10.83

Shipping is cheap too, choose Royal Mail with no tracking and it's only 5 Pounds = $9 and is here in about 10 days!

Chefs have a super large range, you can pick up a lot of other stuff that is hard to get here....

Thanks for the advice Laurie.

That is simply ridiculous and I struggle to understand what Vapetrain are thinking.

I know I'm just being a stubborn tight arse but I can't stand the thought of being ripped off for any amount.

Seems to me Vapetrain don't want any Australian customers.
I've not had a reply yet but look forward to the explanation.

I have also ordered from CF. Great price and postage very reasonable. Great selection of concentrates.

It's been over a week since I emailed Vapetrain but to date I've not received a reply. I believe this should be more than enough time to answer my question.

Therefore I'm not going to place any order with them so perhaps I should be grateful as I was only being indulgent. They do have some unique and interesting flavours but I'll stick with Juicefactory and all that they have to offer,including exemplary customer service.

Thanks for your suggestion of chefs in the UK Laurie and I did visit their site. Dependent on which way I look at it, unfortunately or fortunately they either didn't stock or were out of stock of quite a few that had caught my eye previously.

Not that my decision saved me anything as I'm going to be ordering some tobacco juices from a company in the UK called Manabush instead.

As they say you live and learn but sorry I'm not going to be knowingly overcharged and do appreciate that I'm a stubborn tight arse.
