This is problematical , and the Kandi Hed entries on the recipe side of ELR are therefore one heck of a mess.
When I’ve added missing (or seemingly missing) Kandi Hed flavours, I’ve used the following syntax:
Flavour (KH)
Is this right? Seems to be the most commonly used, and has the big advantage of sidestepping the problem of people mis-spelling the brand.
What I haven’t done is attempt to discriminate between KH (PG) and KH(VG) , partly because nobody else has done so! And partly because this would complicate it further. I should explain: the manufacturs offer a choice of VG or PG base for most of their range, but do not present these as distinct ranges.
An interesting variation I’ve spotted is “Kandi Hed Range “ or KHR. When using the Duplicate Checker, I’ve left these alone for reasons which should become clear further down
The same manufacturer / retailer also offer a pure VG/organic range called Angel’s Touch . I’ve entered these as follows:
Flavour (Angel’s touch)
I considered using the abbreviation (AT) instead, which would surely be better, as avoiding mis-spellings (which would be especially rife, given the apostophe) but there were no precedents , and I felt that an unprecedented, unlisted abbreviation would be too opaque. If AT becomes the official designation, I shall happily comply in future! And am happy to have my enties modified accordingly.
I now suspect that others might have entered AT as KHR? In this case, it would not be correct to merge KHR with KH.
This would makes some sense , as they are part of the same manufacturer/retailers range o f own brand products. However the manufacturer /retailer is not known as Kandi Hed , and never have been. They are presently known as “Flavour Hub” (but changed their name from Just Vape 247 quite recently) . Therefore “Kandi Hed Range" is not correct, if these are in fact Angel’s Touch. But I really don’t know.
To complicate things further, I have recently noticed a number of products have vanished from the Angel’s Touch range, and a few , new “Organic” flavours have appeared in the Kandi Hed range, which suggests there might be a migration of products from one to the other?
Oh! And the Kandi Hed “Buttery Butter” appears simply as “Buttery Butter” I thought to enter it as “Buttery Butter (KH) “ but that would have created an unique entry, and cut me off from other people’s flavour notes! The Buttery Butter must be Kandi Hed as nobody else offers a flavour with this name. Perhaps a mod could fix the name?
I’m afraid I haven’t entered more than a fraction of the duplicates into the duplicate checker, as this was such a mess, it was doing my head in. Also there is no search term (that I can devise) which calls up every variation, without calling up a mass of extraneous material besides. And I don’t see how to use the Duplicate Checker on two variants that don’t come up on the same search?
I intend to send a link to this thread to Flavour Hub, as they might wish to comment, and could possibly clear up some of the confusion. They might also wish to become a registered vendor here!
In the meantime, some guidance from @daath re. correct syntax would be much appreciated by myself, as I don’t want to mess up the entries even further.
PS. Am still taking a break from the board (in case anybody wonders) but using the recipe side extensively . Therefore, couldn’t hold fire on posting this question any longer)
Thanks in advance for any help with these questions.
