Drip Hacks UK

submitted over 8 years ago by HerrHutProud Sidebar Reader!

Does anybody have any experience with this shop? I'm especially intrigued by their Flava Hacks.

Flavor names look pretty similar to FlavourArt and the description reads: "created by an industry leader, rebottled and brought to you by Drip Hacks."

If it is FlavourArt it would be ridiculously cheap. https://driphacks.com/product-category/flava-hacks/

I'd bet money on FA

But... Why? How? 100ml are usually around £22. They sell it for £6. I'm speechless.

Maybe the only way to go around their suggested price is to not mention it's theirs. I'm not sure. Maybe they got large supply of older stock? Maybe they diluted them a little?

Yup, Flavorart go pretty hard on enforcing pricing, so they need to be rebranded to be offered at a higher or lower price.

Chefs Flavours and Darkstar both sell FA at a cheaper price than FA in the UK, known as Flavour Creative and Dark Arts respectively.

I've no experience with Drip Hacks but they're cheaper than both Chefs and Darkstar, and they're clearly FA flavours.

Companies like FA, CAP and FW have stipulations on stocking that require companies to maintain branding. If these are FA, then this company is more than likely in violation of multiple contractual obligations. If they're doing shifty business like this with someone they 'should' have an agreement with, I bet they're cutting corners elsewhere.

My money is on them not having a distribution contract with FA, and are instead just selling off their old stock that they didn't sell in the one-shots they're marketing. They probably forecast their business to be bigger than it turned out and need to get some return on the items they bought wholesale from FA.

Either way, I wouldn't buy from them.

Looks like FA. FA is surprisingly cheap when bought in sizes over 5kg. Probably as cheap as CAP

Agreed. I wouldn't buy them thinking they're spot on FA. They may be FA but diluted or adulterated in some way.

Their one shots are popular. I know someone who buys from them exclusively. I'm less keen cos they tend to add koolada or menthol to everything. I've no experience of their Flava Hacks though, sorry. I just know that they are known as a reputable company.

I recently brought some of the one-shots from there.

Ive only mixed one of the flavours so far, but i cannot fault anything about the quality of the one-shots, the service or the website itself
