    I tried the FAUK single shot blends for Custard Pi and Vanilla Custard. I mixed both of these at 3.5%. The Vanilla Custard is my favorite of the two. There is something else going on in the background — maybe just a touch of caramel. This is not a replacement for FA Premium Custard nor CAP VC or INW Custard. If I want a lighter custard (not heavy) than I would use this. Custard Pi is more of a custard with pie crust. The pie crust is very light to my taste although there. I would not be surprised if FA Apple Pie was used for the crust since some mixers will use this flavor when wanting a crust. For my taste I would add some Apple Pie depending on how I used this.
    I don't have either of the FAUK custards you mentioned but I do have the 3 others mentioned.

    @dennism — this is not a single flavor lemonade however I do like this. Tends to be more sour for me
    however the sweet weaves in and out when I least expect it. YMMV.

    Bill D Lemonade by Kindground
    2% FE Lemon
    1% FA Lemon Sicily
    2% VT Sour Lemon

    I tried that one and wasn’t crazy about it.

    My nic liters should be here today. I think I’m going to put one in the freezer in the original bottle if it’s glass like they said and break one down into 250ml bottles. I’m curious to see if two days in transit had any affect on the coloring.

    I received the gooey cake and cafe napoleon yesterday from diyfs as well as a voopoo vmate 200 from breezy. It was on clearance for $20. It’s really a pretty sharp mod and I like how the buttons are on top. It’s really comfortable to fire. I figured I’d pick one up cheap to add to my stash box. Of course I’ll try it out for a few days first.

    Yes — just moving slow. I was hoping Chefs would have received their MB flavors and this would have required just one order. As it stands now I will need to place at least two or three orders. If I forego MB Legendary Custard then two orders otherwise three.
    That’s what I ended up doing Chef’s, Nic River & Gremlin. I was going to hold out for buying all in one place but didn’t seem likely anytime soon so I just went ahead.

    I'm up to a whole whopping 30 flavors! lol
    I finally entered in my stash on ELR, which will be quite helpful. It's a pretty nifty resource. Good thing I started now, I'd hate to have to enter in 100+ flavors in one go.
    It's a good start:)

    This is awesome for a few days but when the FA fades it is noticeable. I've been playing with subs for it; HS is pretty good but either it's not just right or the % is off. Going to try LA lemonade next for the sub and already have one stepping using MF lemon subbing the FA.

    I'm at 102 now. I'm probably familiar with 40 of them, with 20 being single flavored tobaccos..

    Apologies — yes, Chefs Flavours in the UK. They recently had a 20% off sale however Thekitchen has been working for 10% off. https://chefsflavours.co.uk

    All these years seeing you on the forum I had no clue you were across the pond.

    As I started my DIY venture with HIC’s recipes, I do have a soft spot for Lemon Sicily and do like it. For Bill D, I mix 10mls only so it is gone before it has faded. For other recipes where I want to mix a larger bottle that uses FA Lemon Sicily, I generally up all the flavors by 1.5. Over the years though we now have a number of different wonderful lemons to choose from .

    I have never tried MF Lemon however remember reading good things about it even before I started DIY. Look forward to your thoughts on MF as a sub for FA.

    I do like VT Lemonade Clear which I used in @PJReid version of Shattered Lemon. VT got even better after the seven day steep however I will not hesitate to start vaping it at seven days and then enjoy the transition as time goes on.

    That is because I live in SoCal. There are several of us that live in the US and order from Chefs because they have flavors that we cannot buy here.
    Hoping you haven't been feeling those earthquakes.

    Well, I've been home this weekend but I haven't amounted to much. I get things moved down to my daughters little by little via my granddaughter. She's been a big help to me. Thankfully my daughter has a big upright freezer in her garage with room for my nic which I haven't moved as yet. There's a lot of stuff I'm not moving till the last minute so to speak. Like my scale, flavors.the rest of my chargers, spare pv's, etc, etc. Gives me a headache thinking about it.
