Great thread. I love Vanilla flavors, too. Although I am a person that rarely suffers from allergies there is something in some of the Vanilla liquids from some vendors that actually makes my throat close ---scary as hell. At first, I thought I was dry but I did narrow it down to vanilla - mainly the custards so this thread is great because I can try out some other vanillas. :) :)

Just to let you know there was some kind of a nut allergy warning on the back of the zabba vanilla juice.

Wow, that's a scary situation for those who suffer from nut allergies. Wondering if this should be announced forum wide to make those suffering from this malady a little more aware. Good on you for pointing this out.

Buy some nicotine base and a bunch of 10ml bottles of vanilla flavoring. It’s inexpensive and you will get to try lots of different vanillas. That’s all I got for you. I haven’t vaped any single vanilla flavors.

Is it really that simple? I am looking for vanilla, too. I would jump on that in a heartbeat if it really works.

Yea just get some unflavored nicotine base in the vg/pg% and nic mg of your preference. Buy some vanilla flavorings from different brands ex. TFA, flavorart, Purilum and mix with your base, add sweetener if necessary, and vape.

Thanks. I never had any allergies I know of but....the vanilla is definitely an issue. I think itis some additive that I have not figured out yet. I had ordered a few bottles recently and once was vanilla. I transferred to bottles and labeled where I cannot see it. Sure enough, this morning --throat closed --looked at the label and it is the vanilla one. Really stinks because that is my favorite flavor.

Everything 'dessert' tastes good with a little vanilla. Even tollhouse cookie and deep chocolate fudge recipes call for at least 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

The world's most popular ice cream flavor is... vanilla.

I second @smacuser on Capella's vanilla custard. The V1, not the V2 and it does indeed take many days to reach peak flavor even as a standalone.

If ya just gotta go commercial, eliquid-depot has a vanilla custard that is outstanding.

I vape this while my DIY vanilla nectar is aging in its imported madagascarian wooden buckets at precisely 10 degrees Celsius.

Wow, THANK YOU ALL for your replies! Now I'm wishing I had the budget to try every suggestion in this thread!

This will probably sound dumb, but I've only ever tried a couple juices that said "custard" on them and maybe this is my imagination, but they seem to taste different than the few I've tried that don't mention the word custard. So I'm wondering - is there a sort of general difference between something labeled "vanilla custard" as opposed to something labeled just "vanilla" or "vanilla cream" ?

In the meantime looks like I need to take a look at each of the suggested pre-made ones in this thread. So many choices... and some really do sound amazing.

Thanks everyone, I wasn't expecting such a number of great replies & info because I figured "ah this question has probably been asked so many times in the past I probably won't see more than a couple replies". I was way wrong, and you guys rock!

What I have done in the past is to just make flavored VG and I may try it again. Slice a vanilla bean lengthwise and put it in a clean jar and fill it 3/4 with VG, close it and put it somewhere like a closet. Then shake it every week. When it smells really good - like 6 - 8 weeks, throw out the vanilla bean, run it though cheesecake cloth and thin it out a little bit with distilled water.

It tasted great - I was just unsure of how well it would last without any preservatives so I only made it in small batches.

I have found vanillas that do not both me --and I do not have a nut allergy --- but there is a definite ingredient - undetermined as of yet that I am allergic to.

Hoping for suggestions and opinions here please if you can spare a minute...

I'm a fan of "dessert" flavors with an affinity for vanilla on the sweet side, but I seem to have a hard time finding a fairly straight-forward (not mixed with 5 other flavors) sweet vanilla brand / line.

I've tried a few that come pretty close to what I'm craving, but there always seems to be a catch.

For example - I recently tried "v'nilla" which is kind of a vanilla wafer / cookie cream sort of flavor, and though it's not bad, it seems like the quality is not quite up to par and it burns through coils fast.

I guess I'm asking for too much, but what I'm really seeking is a juice that is vanilla-dominant and a bit on the sweet side. Haven't had much luck in finding a high quality "clean" liquid that is primarily vanilla.

Does anyone here have suggestions / preferences / favorites / recommendations?

Any other Vanilla fans maybe?
Thanks for any feedback!
Killer kustard. Very intense vanilla custard. A bit too much for my taste, so im using their vanilla strawberry. Theres a happy spot there. Its made by vapetasia, btw.

Gotta agree on the Vapetasia Strawberry Killer Kustard. However, it took a long steep for the flavor to develop and for some reason the flavor is way better in a MTL tank than in my BF rda.
