And while y'all are here, a brief derailment:
I'm using the nautilus mini and find I need to change the coil after any custard-y flavor because it lingers through any other new flavor? Has anybody else experienced this?

Thanks

Nope I have a custard tank that I use everyday. Also have a apple pie tank and a bluestraw tank I use everyday. My lesser favorites get put into a iclear 16 tanks.

I'm very partial too drippers when using custards.
Easier to clean and swap juices, the better you get at setting your dripper up the more layers and complexity can be fully tasted in each juice.
This opposite with Mother's Milk for me which tastes better in my kayfun than in my drippers.
But beware drippers use juice faster than if you just poured it down the drain. That gets expensive with some of the high priced juices.

I have three drippers loaded with custards 24/7 now and find it best if I burn my coils and rewick every 2-3 days.
As stated custard is a lite flavor but with many nuances that start fading as the coil darkens, I don't let it even get close too gunked up.
I also keep a great Black and Blueberry cheesecake from ITC on hand to cleanse my palette between switching custards that works great. I've found if two custards are vapes back to back some notes go missing.

Barbchris - please list those bottles in order please, some aren't easy to read. Heck even include notes on each if you have the time.


I just saw this request and I have just a few minutes free, so this will be quick.
On the Left – my #1 favorite (one thing about opinions, everyone has one. These are just my personal opinions) is Revenge by Cape Fear. Baked custard pie. You can really taste the “baked” flavor as well as the graham cracker crust. I posted the link to the only online retailer. They have many retail locations as well.
#2 – Bryce’s Vanilla Custard. I would rank his Vanilla Pudding well ahead of this custard. VERY Creamy. A bit of coil-gunking, but worth the work
(Right here, after Bryce's, I would insert Kiss The Ring by Bombies. Hadn't tried it at the time. I didn’t include the Reddit hero ‘Nana Cream, since it is fruit forward, but as far as creaminess, both Bombies and Bryce’s are hard to beat.)
#3 – Grant’s Vanilla Custard – self-explanatory.
#4- Steam Juice Thick Vanilla Custard – with a good steep, this stuff is amazing. Great prices on the 120s also, especially with a sale.
#5 – NT Frenilla. Not a custard, a good creamy vanilla. I find I have to add Sugar DIY to it sometimes. Probably shouldn’t have included just a vanilla flavor, since that excludes my overall #1 dripping vanilla -- G2 Prime Vazilla.
#6 – Colossus by Cyclops
#7 – Gremlin Juice Vanilla Custard – to be clear, on a dripper, this beats Colossus, in a tank, Colossus is better. I find with Gremlin juice, there’s this steeping bell-curve. It’s not great out of the mail, I let it steep and it is great for a while, then it oversteeps and loses flavor. At the peak of the curve, this stuff is great, but timing seems to be everything with Gremlin. I have many 1/3 – 1/4 filled bottles of Gremlin past their peak. The exception to this rule is their Vanilla Overload. GREAT dripping vanilla, even after many months.
#8 – Something that would be easy to DIY, Capella’s Custard from High Dessert Vapes. I don’t know the percentage of Capella’s, it might be on the site, but this one with extra flavor is very good.
#9- CLS NT. Once again, a steeping bell-curve. Good to a certain point, then goes downhill. I have heard others mention this too, once it is oversteeped, it’s kinda grassy tasting.
#10 – C.R.E.A.M. by Blueprint. This one is much better out of the mail than steeped for long periods. I did get it from a 3rd party vendor, so some steeping is inherent in that process. I liked it out of the mail. Now, a couple months later, it’s kinda nutty and the vanilla fades.
#11 Big Willie’s – I was disappointed. I expected much more from these last 2. I don’t like it dripped or in most of my tanks. It does taste pretty good in my Delta tank (triple coil) though
#12 Quack’s Goose Juice – Virtually no flavor to my palate and I tried it every way I could before I traded it away.
Again, this is just my opinion, we all have different tastes.

Barbchris- yes, thanks a lot to take the time to list and give comments.
I'm not so far into my custard obsession you are at, but I'm heading there.

The Bryces is one I've been researching the beck out of, everything tells me to go with the pudding over the custard.
And seeing your preferences I just may have to.
I have someone in thier custard addiction will to split a 120ml bottle of Bryces so we can get the high VG option without investing so much on a juice we had never tried.
So if it was you would you say the Vanilla pudding?
Also since many custards are high VG BLENDS how did the 50/50 compare in this case?

I'll be reviewing your list more as I do like to try new juices and ones rated high from seasoned tasters.
Btw try Just Vapes- Divinus Custard over at GV it's just amazing imo.
Also was the Big Willie's you tried the 50/50 version or the 22/78 pg/vg version?
I rated that one higher as a more simple juice but bigger on flavor than most, so I'm wondering if the VG could be a reason I liked it more.

I also have Alloy Blends Blonde wich many rave about, but while it's good it's not a reorder for me. They just came out with a high VG version but only in 3mg.
I wonder if I didn't like it as much being a lower 50/50 blend in my drippers.

Btw I'm addicted to custard if you can't tell :)

Yes, I would strongly recommend you go with the pudding. I have plenty of it myself and am on a strict juice ordering moratorium until Black Friday (unless there are Halloween sales...) So I can't order anything right now. I like his base, just as it is, wouldn't want 100% VG. I'm not into cloud chasing.

I got the Big Willie's from Giant Vapes, whatever they have is what I bought. I have heard mixed reviews about Blonde, mixed enough I haven't ordered. Must be good, at least to some people, they sell a ton of it.

    Just to mention about alloy blends..

    Blonde is good. Not epic, not gross. Im a bit of a custard fiend myself, and to me, Blonde is one of the custards I put with a bunch of other custards that I can vape when my main steeze runs out, and while it wont be the epic vape Im craving, it will do the job until that epic liquid comes back into my life.

    BUT.

    Vented. from alloy blends.

    OHHHHHHWEEEEE!

    It says its an RY4 type.. honestly RY4 is more meaningless than "vanilla" these days, so don't get turned off by it if your not a tobacco vaper. I vape some tobaccos, and Vented is NOT a tobacco flavor. It is a caramel cream with hints of brown sugar brittle. If they called the liquid a caramel cream surprise, it would be accurate. Thats the beauty of RY4 liquids today.. more often than not, unless it comes from a company known for epic tobaccos, then its usually going to be a sweet dessert vape. Ive got a box full of RY4s, and not one of them tastes anything like the tobacco liquids Ive got.



    Sorry to derail slightly.. I mentioned it because if you like custards, Vented is in the same vien. The flavor is different, but the feel of the vape is very custardy and rich. Vented is actually one of my mainstays. Its one of the few liquids that I CANNOT run out of.. Like I panic when I get below 100mls.



    Oh and here to keep this on topic..

    Brothers Reserve, Sir Mac. Ive had my bottles of this for about two months now, and I just re tried them the other day. When I first got them, GV had just launched them so I imagine they were brand new. I thought it was alright.. sorta funky aftetaste now and then. Meh.. tossed it aside.

    Tried it again about two months or so later.. WOW.

    Creamy custard, one of the heaviest vanilla bean notes ive ever seen in a custard, and a hint of cookie crumble/bakery crust on the finish, which totally drives home the vapid desire to take drag after drag.


    there is a ton of great custards out there.. and no two are ever the same. try as many as you possibly can.
    -But nothing can beat the original.. the king.. the epicness of epic.. the original custard, Grants. Vanilla. Custard. 110% worth the effort it takes to procure.

    I am afraid to try Vented, since I do not like Ry4s. You make it sound great! However, I wish I had a GV coupon code (anyone know any?) since that Brother's Reserve sounds amazing & the reviews are so strong. I am also ready to order a 120 of G2 Prime Vazilla. I'm through my 4th 30 since I tried it & in my new Big Dripper, nothing is as good. Gonna try that BR, but just can't seem to pay retail. It's a woman thing.

    I've tried Nicoticket's Creme Brulee/CLS, Bryce's Banana Cream Pudding/Vanilla Creme Pudding/Vanilla Custard, Grants Vanilla Custard, and several other less-than-memorable ones. My favorite is Grants, followed by Bryce's Banana Cream Pudding (which is superb). I will try the Nicoticket again but may not reorder. ITCVapes was a pass for me until I tried my 2-week aged Heaven's Bounty. Now I really think they're worth a wider sample.

    Since a tobacco custard was mentioned earlier, I'd like to throw another one out there for anyone interested in a smoky vanilla custard. Ripe Vapes VCT. I didn't like Nick's Smoked Custard much and didn't think I'd like VCT when I received it in a sample box but this stuff is great. Not superb, not amazing, but worth a shot if you like tobacco and custard.

    I've only had it for one week so I'm going to let it age another few weeks before I throw it in a tank again. Vaping it off an Origen V2 with ssmesh wick at the moment and it's very good. More tobacco flavor, but doesn't taste burnt at all like other custards often do on ss mesh. Might be worth throwing in a genny in a few weeks.

    I am @ just over 2 weeks with a bottle of ITC Heaven's Bounty a friend sent me. Set it aside & now, I too think they are worth another look. Steep brought out a ton of flavor.

    Last I spoke with Luke at ITC he has a new from scratch bottom up custard in the works.
    When finished is to replace Milk in the current line-up.

    My sickness continues with these ordered today:
    Bryces Vanilla Custard in max VG
    Bionic vapes Custard Assault 70vg
    Nicoticket CLS 30ML max VG, 15ml 50/50 18mg to blend
    Charlie Noble Custard 22/78

    I reordered Just VAPES: Divinus Custard 2x30ml it was so good the first round.
    Next ordering cycle I want to order some Grants from the UK.

    I am glad that I am not the only one getting the "sour" taste off of Grant's but I heartily agree.

    Add me to this list as well. It's almost like a tangy taste and it's not bad, just different. Personally I prefer the sweeter custards like Nicoticket and Bionic Vapor. Sounds like I need to try the Gremlin Juice custard.
