I have Bryce and Grant's right now. Grant's just came today. So far they are both excellent. The Grant's seems to be a little creamier and a little less eggy than Bryce. Not sure if I am getting any tangy/sour taste. It came steeped 21 days from the time it shipped (last week). Bryce is a little eggy, but not as much as others I have tried, which is good for me. I'll have to vape both more to determine which one I like better. Aside from the taste, Grant's is difficult to get plus I am in the US. Bryce is much more accessible.

I got Charlie Noble's Custard from a Zodist order and it has been my favorite custard to date.

Just curious - how would you rank it with the other custards you have on your list?

Sadly rather low.
For a budget minded vapor it's a good deal.
But when compared too higher cost custards it's lacking in flavors that pop or even much complexity that most expect.
The base seems of good quality as does the nic as it is thick and no off tastes even at high wattages.
But remember this is a rather low priced liquid, and taste is very subjective especially since I drip and tank users may find this much better than I did.

So yeah, it's good. Just not great in my books.
I did like it better than Bionics Custard Assault which some may find hard to believe.
In my big book of custard scores I'd give it a 7 out of 10

If your looking for a low cost custard I'd try the Casey Jones which has a thread here.
I've not tried thier custards, but I love the butterscotch pudding even tho it lacks complexity.

I tried Gremlin Juice for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. I give those who are able to rank them a lot of credit because to me all the ones I've tried are very good (Gremlin Juice, Bionic Vapor, Nicoticket, Bryce's, & Grant's). Next up for me is Big Willie's.


In a dripper each taste completely different which makes getting as many flavors out easier.
But that takes time and work adjusting setups and a minimal tasting process of one week for presteeped juices and 4-5 weeks for Unsteeped.
It's not perfect as it just tells me what I like and not what you may like,but a description none the less.
Expensive and time consuming is another issue of which I do have the time, money slows me down a lot.

Big Willies is good imo,custardy butterscotch that has a big flavor for a lite style of juice.
Not overly complex, but has nicely balanced layers.
Good clean base and held up very well to high watts.

So a more accurate "shootout" would be done with a dripper as opposed to tanks (what I'm using)?

Not exactly, as what people taste using tanks isn't wrong. Just different.
Tasting a juice on your tongue from your finger can tell you a lot that a dripper won't also.
I guess what I'm saying is when reading reviews look at what equipment they are using as you have a better chance of finding something close to same thing that they are describing.
 
I see a lot of good juices named in this post. I myself have tried/purchased somewhere in the 160's range over the past 3 years. There are two things that I have learned to have been cemented into hard cold facts. The first fact is that I learned there will never be a "best custard juice" for sale or to even acquire. I know this is cliché and is vaping commandment number one under the book of juice rules and beliefs and that is that taste is subjective and if we find a brand we love and everyone in the world hated it= it would still be good to us. I know no duh and we all say this but it took me a while to really accept it. My absolute favorite is the most controversial e-juice in this category... Grants Vanilla Custard. The only way to share my true feelings and paint a picture of how this juice consumes me is think of Homer and doughnuts and that is all I will say about that. The second fact is that if we do not let our Custards/creams steep for 60 days minimum we are not truly getting the most amazing flavor we crave in a juice and if it is high VG like I get my juices than it is more like 90 days. I have steeped all of my favorites for different periods of time and as long as you keep them cool and out of the light they will keep for a very long time. I have some Grant's VC going on 14 months and it is thick and tasty and the reason I have it that long is a long and boring story or I would share it here. I am willing to chat with any one any time about our favorite custardy profile of flavor so if there are any questions on what I have tried I would be happy to share my thoughts. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tatsteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dddddddddddddiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyylllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. Goose Juice, Blonde, certified 24/7, Gremmlin Gold, Red Devil from Charlie's Vape shop(UK) , Pear Flake, Northern Lights Vanilla(I know no custard but I prefer vanilla custard and mix in some of the so-so custards I bought so they are not wasted cuz juice iz spensive mang) Bros Reserve, Yeti Hazel, Genuine 8 Pralines and cream ....just some suggestions of brands I find a lot of Vapers agree on being a good vape in our profile. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm prooooooooooofiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiile !

I took a long break from custards, overdosed I guess & I don't like the Grant's I ordered in October. I won't steep right (still a light bright yellow) & not very flavorful. Got frustrated & in the meantime, I got completely hooked on a Sugar Bear.

Yesterday I put some Divinus Custard from Just Vape into a reo & Wow! I love it! Rich thick flavor is now my favorite. Wish I knew that when Giant had their 15% off a few days ago, would have gotten the 100ml.

I know it's not really a custard but it's a very creamy vanilla. This flavor is the reason why I can't get into custards or any other vanilla flavor for that reason. I'm just expecting them to taste like my favorite vanilla juice and they don't. Anyway, it's Drakes Vanilla Trifecta. It's that perfect mix of vanilla beans and candy vanilla. The flavor is in your face yet smooth at the same time.

I actually haven't been able to find a custard I've liked. I love eating custard but it seems like the custard E-Juices have this weird flavor I can't pin point.

If anyone has tried Vanilla Trifecta, please feel free to give your recommendations on what you think compares to it's flavor.

Sleeping Dragon Vapors Daft Spunk is the best custard I have tried yet. It was recommended by a few juice junkies who really know their juice so I decided to give it a try. I was blown away FOOB and it gets better each day I break it out. I know I should be giving it a good steep I just can't seem to let it be. I may grab another bottle just so it will have done a little aging by the time I get to it. To me it tastes just like Nilla' Wafers. I would rank it up there in the top 5 juices I have vaped. Good stuff.

I have tried Vanilla Trifecta. I am highly reluctant to post what I think since I liked it a lot until I was in a vape shop & a guy said "I can only taste the ___" flavor, it overpowers the vanilla. From that point on, I could only taste the ___ & it ruined the juice for me.

LOL.....I think the O sets it off
