Usually there's a little advanced warning these days - I can't remember if that wasn't the case back then, or if I just didn't think of how much I liked it (as I bought the imp before it was DC'd)

I'll try LE/DCs if I'm having a meet'n'sniff with people, which sometimes leads me to seeking them out, or if I'm meeting an order minimum on the forum and something looks interesting, but usually I don't go out of my way to try them unless I know I can still snag a full bottle from the lab after.
