The Deception stuff I got was awful. It was like Plasticine. Super sticky but has absolutely no weight to it whatsoever.
That said, the first lot I got which was some years ago now was decent so who knows.

yeah that's the stuff I have
EDIT: actually no it isn't
, that's the stuff I used to have, now have this one and have found it just as good, maybe just the packaging is slightly different but still says 'Made In The UK' on it and is probably the original stuff, remember buying it quick when there was news about 'all change' at Kryston

Not sure about the best but am down to my last 5 mm blob of Kryston old version heavy metal but did invest in their Drop Em putty for when it's gone, it's darker and stiffer than the old heavy metal and does leave a bit of residue on the fingers, I only use putty for a tiny bit on the hook link and some mouse dropping size bits above the lead at around 2 foot intervals.

When I herd that Kryston were going under a few years back I bought 5 packs of the stuff.
I then ordered some of more and got the new version in a tin but it was identical to what the old stuff was.
Still have a load in the shed, best stuff I ever used and the video that did the rounds on youtube about how to use it properly was great

Drop em isnt meant for bobbing on, your supposed to just rub your hooklink through it to sink that, not weigh down popups, hence it's so sticky

That's if your using braid, with mono you use little mouse droppings of it, on their website, I don't use it for weighting pop-ups.

Have a look at the carplife putty, it's the best I have found so far, after running out of the original kryston stuff.

I am assuming that not all these small companies have their own machinery to make putty like Kryston do/did, so a lot of these have to be the same product in different packaging, be interesting to know which ones, probably most of them

Do you know for a fact krysten produced it themselves?

See post 15. Would have been an elaborate ruse if not.
