Un/semi flavoured sherbet concentrates

[Mr Numpty]

Greetings Planeteers
Fizzy Sherbet from Vapetrain Australia is currently unavailable in UK. Does anyone know of a similar concentrate in UK? Looking for something to convert "normal" flavours, especially friuts, to their sherbet equivalent.
Thank you.

Hi Peter. Much like yourself, I have scoured the Internet in search of fizz and been led down the same rabbit holes. None of those avenues led to what I was looking for to any satisfying degree.

The juices that had the fizz I sought seemed to me to achieve it via a sherbet type experience, so I bought some Flavor West Rainbow sherbet. I found it to be fantastic at providing the sherbet type fizz I was after, but it was also flavoured (with rainbows I guess) which meant that it changed the flavour profiles I was trying to achieve. Not dramatically, and I did/do still find it very useful, but annoyingly nevertheless.

I then tried TFA Rainbow sherbet, which suffers the same flavour-altering flaw and is less effective that the FW version in the fizz stakes. Still good though.

However, a non-flavoured sherbet has been my goal since and that led me to Drip Hacks, who have a sherbet with no rainbows attached (to the name at least). Maddeningly, it was out of stock and remained that way for many weeks. Eventually I emailed them to ask if and when they might restock it, which must have spurred them into action as they replied the next day that it was back in stock!

I've placed an order. Perhaps you'd like to join me in discovering if it is the holy fizz grail we have been seeking.

Many thanks Mr N. the planet seldom disappoints.
Will execute an order and continue the quest. Can it be true, can it, can it!!!!?

It's like having a lottery ticket before you've checked it. The potential is there but you have to steel yourself for disappointment. For the moment, though, it's an exciting prospect.

Sorry it's been a while. Vapetrain sherbet is now available again in UK, so I have had some success in producing a nice (Flavour Art Lemon Sicily) lemon sherbet. I mix by eye and nose so percentages are not available, but the Vapetrain sherbet seems to have less added flavour than most so may be worth a try?

Ha, nice one, congratulations. The Drip Hacks "Sherbert" was a great success in that it wasn't flavoured, but unfortunately it is also devoid of any trace of sherbet or fizz, at any percentage. I also tried "Fizz Base" from, I think Rainbow vapes, which was every bit as disappointing as the Drip Hacks version. I see Chefs is out of the Vapetrain sherbet at the moment but I've asked them to let me know when it's back in. Thanks. Is your lemon sherbet just lemon Sicily and sherbet?

Crazy Strawberry concentrate from Mom and Pops is sort of cool and fizzy. I add some to other fruit juices to give it a kick.
