Frenilla vs. GVC

[CrunkVA]

Nicoticket Frenilla (2 week steep) & Grant's Vanilla Custard (12 week steep)

Both @ 50/50 6mg
smok DC CartoTank 1.5ohm @ 4v



Oddly, both taste exactly the same to me in a blind taste test.

I know taste is subjective, but is it just me??

I'm thinking that extra french vanilla in Frenilla's egg custard base gives it the same pronounced "egg-ish" taste that GVC has.


Don't get me wrong... both are wonderful juices and I'll happily vape through the bottles I have of each, but I greatly prefer Gremlin juice Vanilla Custard over the both of these. Much smoother taste in my opinion.

Give the Frenilla another 2 weeks. You will be surprised.

What VG/PG ratio was your gremlin juice?

 

[CrunkVA]

Good question... it's 50/50 as well

Why did you not compare Custard's with all three? Frenilla is not NT's version of custard.

Why didn't I? Because I don't like CLS, nor do I like their Creme Brulee.

"Unlike Philadelphia-style vanilla, Frenilla captures the rich, decadent, complex flavors of the a traditional French Vanilla that is produced with an egg custard base." - Direct quote, with typo included.

So yeah, it's a custard flavor.

I believe Frenilla is used in CLS, but Frenilla is more like straight vanilla bean. Vanilla and vanilla custards are some of my favorite flavors. Over time the flavors become smoother. I put some Frenilla away for a long steep.
I tried Gremlin Juice's vanilla custard and thought the flavor was muted, even after steeping.
Another good custard I found is Bryce's Vanilla Creme Custard. I have a bottle that's now reaching 2 months. The flavor has intensified and so very smooth.
Vanillas and vanilla custards are also excellent mixed with coffee flavors.

This.

And I know Clark steeps his stuff before sending it out but my CLS is several weeks old now and it has become incredibly rich and full flavored. . When I first got it, it was good but felt a bit dry for me. All that is gone now and flavor has increased quite a bit. Creme Brulee is also good but it is almost TOO sweet and rich now. A little goes a long way where aged Creme Brulee is concerned.

I got in both last night, the Frenilla did not impress me right off but it was not bad or anything. Kinda reminded me of Good Life Vapor's Deadly Sin but a weaker cousin of it. I will let it steep and hope it develops more character.
