Feel free to vape away now, it's been a week now should be good to go, lol.

I'm enjoying some right now!

You're not kidding!

Along with 50ML of Grants Vanilla Custard, I ordered 60ml of Strawberry OD from Dr. Crimmys, and 30ml of Daft Spunk!

A few more bottles, and I figure I can take a custard bubble bath!

Oh, the Dr. Crimmy's SOD is delicious. I'm gonna eventually order some more of the other OD flavors.

I saw this the other day on Giant Vapes and it piqued my interest. Is there any actual smoke flavor or is that just referring to the tobacco? I'm gonna have to give a try, I think. I've become a custard fiend!
Don't really get any smokiness...just refers to the tobacco imo..which is very faint as well...has become my adv....

What's the difference in the V-liquids and Overdoes (OD) liquids on Dr Crimmy's website? Was a extra flavor shot needed? I'm thinking about ordering a 60 ml, 6 nic, 50/50 blend but I wanted to get some facts first. Thanks!

I think the OD line just mixes another flavor or two to OD (which appears to be like the house custard). Strawberry OD is outstanding, I don't think you'd be disappointed in ordering any of the OD juices if they're all that good.

I believe that I read that the OD custard is their original custard. They then made a slightly different custard, in the V Liquid line. I could be wrong about this, but I do think I remember someone who had tried both, and that they were different.

I read a number of the reviews of the Strawberry OD, and several of them said the strawberry, while present, was very faint, and you only tasted it on the exhale.

I figured I'd add a boost of strawberry to it, as I want to taste the strawberry, perhaps not as much as the custard, but I do want it to be very noticable.

I happened to call Dr. Crimmy's and a very nice woman answered the phone. I told her that I had ordered the Strawberry OD, and added a boost of Strawberry, and she said that that's how she like's it, that it makes it a perfect blend of the custard and strawberry flavors. I didn't add a boost of the OD (custard) as people had said in the reviews that the custard was very prominent.

Guess I'll find out! :unsure:

I would agree, the OD is prominent. I ordered extra strawberry and extra OD but I wish I would've only went for extra strawberry like you did. It's still very delicious.

Got Casey Jones Mainline Reserve aging. Ordered CLS and ACB from Nicoticket. Made 200ml of GVC clone today.

Mostly I'm sitting on a bunch that need to sit a while.

FYI if vanilla pudding sounds good to anyone, 10th Planet Vanilla Mousse is pretty good. I've been liking it more the more I vape it, and I'll probably try Bryce's Butterscotch Pudding now too.

It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, can't wait! I'm actually running pretty low on my Dr. Crimmy's V-Liquid Vanilla Custard! It's really a wonderful custard juice!

Just wish my Grants Vanilla Custard would get here! It shows it arrived to Los Angeles April 1, and it still hasn't been delivered...just hope the postal staff aren't having their way with my juice!!!

Has the GVC been delivered yet?

had to sample the GVC clone after 36 hours because curiosity was killing me

smelled very perfume-y and strong
in fact the only juice I've ever smelled that was this perfume-y and strong was the Casey Jones I just got, so I wonder if they're using the GVC recipe as a base for their custards

loaded up just half a tank because I want to let this sit before I vape it in earnest

flavor is not as overwhelming as the aroma

I also did not use EM because I saw that the EM I had on hand was in nic base, so this is just with CVC2 and TFA DdL
the sweetness is fine, it doesn't need the EM

not as vanilla-y as a lot of commercial custards
I also don't get a butter note a lot of custards have
the CVC2 at 15% is definitely not too much for 70+ VG and seems about right

my overall impression is that I shouldn't form any impressions until this one sits for a month, but the forecast is promising
it appears that it is at least going to be as good as the rest of the commercial custards I've been vaping

I do feel that for the second batch of this I make I'm going to use Cappelas VC v1 instead of the v2, and I will probably add a 1% butter note to round it out
but I'll know more in 30 days when this turns into whatever it's heading toward

The Overdose is their "house custard" recipe. Back before they changed the name it was called FVC, for French Vanilla Custard. Hence why it is sweeter than their regular custard.

I vape the grants clone everyday. I use the v2 but last time I ordered I had to try the v1 custard.
I highly prefer the v2 custard. I think the v1 has a more buttery taste to it, it isn't as sweet as the v2 custard.

I make about 500ml of this juice a month and sell about all of it.

I do mine at 7.5% v2 flavoring 3% ddl flavoring and I use sucralose instead of EM for my sweetener.

The 15% is decent right away but gets better with age. I stick to the 7.5% tho because it's half the flavoring so I can yield twice as much.

I make it 500ml a time in a glass mason jar, I then put it in the crock pot on low for 6 hours. I shake it every hour and put it back in the pot. When it's done I shake the hell out of it then Crack the lid and let it sit on the shelf overnight.

I try it out the next evening and it's always amazing. I can't let it sit for a month before I vape it. The crock pot does all the work for you. When I try it out the custard is totally different looking, very dark and smells amazing.

No need to wait if you have glass bottles and a crock pot

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 feel your pain! Few things more nerve-wracking than anxiously awaiting vape mail... Hang in there! :)

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!
