Best big, cheap custard?

[jhhollier]

Glad to see Steamjuice is already on your list of custards to try. I'm a big supporter of them / their e-juice. Although I would highly recommend you request they add extra flavor in the comments section if / when you go to place your order, as the only knock I've heard against Steam is that some of their flavors are a bit too subtle (mute) for some. I've asked for extra flavor on every e-juice I've ordered and have yet to be disappointed.

Also, and it's been said already, but I would certainly add ITC to the list.

Lastly, and they may not qualify since they don't offer 120ml+ bottles, nor are they typically cheap... but NT's Custard's Last Stand is a must-try -- especially with their current BOGO 50%-off deal.

I couldn't get into the Thick Vanilla Custard from Steam Juice. It was definitely too subtle and not very creamy for me. It wasn't horrible but I wouldn't re-order. Jerry Juice on the other hand... I see a 120ml jug of that in my future.

I agree that Custard's Last Stand is definitely worth trying. I just had to let it sit for a looooong time before the flavor hit its stride. Don't even remember how long I left it on the shelf. I kind of forgot about it and saw the bottle one day and though "Lemme try this again." Very tasty. vaping some of the Absolut Creme Brulee right now. Also very tasty.

Thanks.... it did arrive a day ago, and I'm really loving it! I've heard about Grants Vanilla Custard for a long time, and have wanted to check it out.

Being he only sells it once a month, and you then have to wait about two weeks for it to arrive from the U.K., it's a juice that requires a great deal of patience! Worth the wait!

Glad you finally got to try GVC. I think Daft Spunk may have passed it up as my favorite juice I've tried thus far but it's close. Still have quite a bit left but I'm enjoying working my way through it.

ok I now have two batches of GVC clone mixed up, one batch using Capella's Vanilla Custard v2 and just now I threw together a batch using v1. I want a diacetyl boost on my custard, please

Now the waiting. A month from now I am going to seriously evaluate both of these recipes and see what I think. The TFA Dulce de Leche smells extremely chemical-y fresh and at a week after mixing. If it doesn't transform into a non-chemical-y secret weapon by 30 days I am going to start over, replacing the TFA DdL with some other flavors I have on hand. If I do end up going that route it won't be a GVC Clone any more, which is just fine if it yields the custard I am seeking. I'm still hoping that one of the two batches I've already mixed is magic at 30 days. I have a three week old bottle of Casey Jones Mainline Reserve Gold Rush, and after all this I'd almost swear that TFA DdL is one of his ingredients, because it has the exact same chemical-y smell. I'm letting that one sit too to see what happens to it after a 30 day nap.

Interesting to see ITC recommended as a great custard. For those of you who have tried Custard #3, what would you compare it to?
I've never tried ITC juices, as I've been screwed before with cheap custards.

It's just like a custard eliquid, except it doesn't wick in a tank, Probably the #1 custard out there if you're a tank user and are looking for dry hits.

Fortunately for me I haven't used a tank in ages...aside from the Kayfun, which is seldom reached for now. Does it taste like any of the more popular Custards? I just picked up 60ml of Custards Last Stand, but I'm sure that won't last long. I also have enough DIY supplies to make about 200ml of the "Grants clone" which is great, but nothing phenomenal. I think my expectations for custard juices are too high...
I just noticed that ICTElixir also has a cheap custard...about the same price as ITC's. Debating between the two now...

What ratio did you use in a tank? I'm just curious. I use 50/50 and sometimes 30/70 in tanks and max vg is a drippers blend.

I'll find out how custard number 3 30pg/70vg wicks in a delta 2 and a Kanger subtank mini. If all else, I do like dippers too. Have a couple I could use to drip if all else fails

Can't say that I have. But I will certainly have to give them a shot! I've got 60mls of Nicoticket's CLS coming in, plus some other custards. I'll give White Label a shot, once the funds are available, thanks for the suggestion!

Check em out, nt is heard to beat but at that price is an Brainer'! Enjoy.

I always vape 70VG. The ITC at this ratio is thicker than any juice I've vaped, and doesn't work in a ST Mini with the Mini's tiny juice inlets. No other 70% VG juice is a problem in the same tank. Yes I could add a little PGA or distilled water to thin the juice, but I shouldn't have to. I make my DIY at 74% VG, and the only PG comes from the nic base and flavorings, and I have never had to add anything to thin the juice I make. So yes, I am frustrated with a juice that is inexplicably thick at the ratio I vape, and the flavor doesn't make up for that so my overall impression is bad.

I'm curious. What wicking method/ material are you using? I've used 85vg/15pg in my delta 2, and my bud used the same juice in his ST mini, using the pancake wicking method with japanese cotton, and they wicked perfectly. I'll have to try itc's custard #3 in my tank before I move it to the dripper

 

[Vapenstein]

Rayon, and ITC is the only juice I've ever had not wick in this tank.

 

[Thegodmouse]

That is strange indeed. I'll have to see for myself how it works for me. I'll keep you guys updated on how its going for me in the tanks

first impression of Gremlin: bland

Got some Moon Mountain Cosmo's Custard at the in town BM cause it Was cheap for juice here, $10 for 15.

The custardy vanilla flavor is nice but way, Way, WAY too light.

I can barely tell I'm getting a hit from my EVOD.

Disappointing, and I emailed them to politely tell them so. Of Course, they message me back and politely try and tell me I need more than an
EVOD to get their flavor. THAT'S the wrong damn answer.

I am beginning to smell a constant in e-juicedom, being told, "If the juice doesn't taste like you wanted you need a better setup." and "No, we don't carry that
but (it doesn't matter they are in the Top say 5 in the country) that product sucks."

You want me to NEVER, EVER do business with you again? Float either of those by me.

Why is no one mentioning Bryce's Vanilla Custard? Cause it's not an "economy" juice?

I hadn't heard of Bryce's until you mentioned it. $14.99 for 30ml isn't bad at all IMO. How does that custard compare to the others mentioned in the thread?

 

[OcalaFlGuy]

He is a member here, I've just read a few threads on his juice here.
