Ah the noble Vodka essence, Would you like eight kilo's of turbo sugar with that and a packet of turbo carbon?

Okay, well I'm working on something at the moment. I don't want to say too much just yet though in case things don't go to plan, but I think you'll like it.

With the amount of brands & flavours that would be the longest thread in the history of internets, good luck typing the list... see you in a year or so :laughing-rolling:

Please start with vodka essence, it's something I'm interested in :D


What I meant was instead of having the thread 'Store bought flavours' that runs for seven pages and has comments on all types of essences, why not have one thread for Bourbon essences, one for Rums etc. etc.
I'm tempted to start one with the Vodka essences. :teasing-neener:

Having an in depth thread for rum, bourbon and whiskey would take out a lot of the clutter of the store bought flavours thread. I'd be keen to see any recipes or oak and essence combinations

Alright then.

After some moving problems, I finally got access to the net and my computer and managed to get this finished off.

It may not be as in depth as a thread could be, but it may be helpful for those that want a quick look at different essences and what they have been rated, etc.

http://essencesearch.comoj.com/

The layout may change a bit, but for now, it is functional, which is what I wanted.

I have already added in the reviews from the previous essence thread (the ones that contained the needed fields), but if you want to add more, please do so!

That's some very nice work mate, I haven't ever used essences, but if I ever want to I'll be going there.

Thanks blond.chap :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I've been meaning to get off my ass and do something like that, but never got around to it. This thread gave me that little bit of motivation to get it done :lol:.

Hopefully a few users around here can start contributing to the site and filling the database.

That is great. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I am off work at the moment and I was thinking of sorting through all the essence threads to make it easier to find what you want but your website shits all over what I could do. The only suggestion I think I could make is perhaps... never mind, you had already done it. :laughing-rolling:

Nice work mate. :text-thankyoublue:

I've ordered from them, they fucked up one of my orders but after I sent them an email they fixed me right up. You'd have to buy a few to justify the postage price though.
