Vanilla Custard Round-Up
Ever since I started
vaping, I have always been a big fan of Vanilla Custard e-
juice. I still dream about one day coming across another bottle of Grants Vanilla Custard.
In any case, I recently transitioned back from salt nic, after taking a long hiatus from caring about what flavor I vaped on. I had some money to burn so I embarked on a journey to figure out what latest and greatest flavors would appeal to me.
Over the last 12 weeks, I procured 13 different Vanilla Custard Flavors. I want to give a brief review of each one, and then identify my favorite(s) as well as what my rotation is going forward.One Flavor that I also included but not pictured is
Electrum blonde. I am also waiting on an order for Black Unicorn Vanilla Custard and Vapetasia VC, so I might update this review later on. Also, all of these were vaped out of a Smok Nord, which I admit is probably not the best for flavor compared to an RDA or larger tank.
Anyways, to the reviews!
Air Factory Custard Craze: 2/5 - Not very impressed by this. It has a fairly bland vanilla flavor with graham cracker notes, which isn't really my cup of tea. This will not be in my rotation.
Gremlin Custard - 2/5 - An old classic! I have to say, this was probably the most disappointing one. I had very positive fond memories of this juice from years ago. When I first tried this out of the bottle, it was very chemically, so I threw it in the cupboard for a couple of weeks to steep. Low and behold, it held onto this peppery, chemical taste that absolutely ruined the flavor. It is currently in my trash can.
Coil Vapes Dis Won Reserve - 5/5 - Hands down my favorite Vanilla Custard flavor to date. This vape absolutely blew me away, as I was very pleasantly surprised. The flavor profile is extremely similar to Cosmos Custard, but with a much more magnified and lasting flavor. The best way I can describe this is the perfect blend of creamy, sweet and vanilla, with a great exhale balance of butter and egginess. It's hard to describe, I get a bit of Capellas, Bavarian cream, and other flavors I can't quite pin down, but it just all comes together so well. This will be my #1 juice in my rotation.
I cannot recommend this flavor enough.
Cali Bear Gang Sacramento - 3.5/5 - Very simple and good flavor, Straight up salt Vanilla Custard. Tastes like Capellas that was steeped well, but not much else in the way of complexity. A nice simple vanilla custard for those of you that don't want any bells or whistles in your VC.
Vape Wild On Cloud Custard - 4/5 - Very Very good simplistic custard. A little more complex than Cali, but still very simple and the flavor is mellow and not overpowering. Has a nice eggy exhale, I get notes of Capellas. This is a great ADV becauase it is very mellow, and is definitely going in my rotation.
That 1 Vape Very Vanilla Custard - 3.5/5 - Interesting flavor, similar to On Cloud Custard but with a little more vanilla tartness to it. Definitely heavily capellas based, with something else in there. I liked it, but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to keep it around.
Big Willies Custard - 4/5 - Oldie but a goodie! I forgot how awesome this flavor is! Its not my traditional type of custard, but I really like how nicely this custard steeps. Less of a Capellas type of VC, and it has a really nice brown sugar/maple flavor on the exhale. This will be a nice way to reset my taste, and will definitely be an occasional buy and vape in my rotation.
The Beard #51 - 2.5/5 - Couldn't quite get behind this. It's too much graham cracker/brown sugar. This was actually really good mixed with Superb as they have concentrations of different complementing flavors to a VC, but alone I'm not a fan.
Superb Vanilla Custard - 2.5/5 - Couldn't get behind this either. It had way to powerful of a flavor that is supposed to complement the VC. For this juice, its the buttery flavor. Imagine working in a popcorn factory. Which based on certain safety concerns might not be the best bet. Important note: I heat steeped this in a slow cooker, and I let the temperature get away from me, which cause the bottle to expand. That may have tainted the experience, so I might try and get my hands on another bottle some other time. Again, makes for a great vape when mixed with The Beard #51.
Cyclops Collossus - 3.5/5 - Interesting Vape, and I think I'll keep it around. It is VERY SWEET. That's its thing, it tastes like a sugar cookie with TPA Vanilla Custard. Its good and a nice change of pace, but not quite what I would look for in a vanilla custard.
Moon Mountain Cosmos Custard - 4.9/5 - Amazing flavor. Originally going to be my number 1, but Dis Won Reserve barely snatched it away. It's basically the same flavor, but Cosmos is not quite as potent flavor wise. That may be what you're looking for. It's also got the best artwork/graphic of them all in my opinion. I love this juice, and I will continue to buy it! Definitely going in my rotation!
Electrum Blonde - 4.5/5 - Great flavor, very focused on Vanilla and the eggy custard part. Is fairly creamy as well. I would say its like VapeWild On Cloud Custard with a little more of a punch. Definitely staying in my Rotation!
Yami Vapor Naruto - 3/5 - Man I really want to like this custard. Sometimes I will draw on it and I will think its the best flavor ever made. Then other times I will draw on it and will want to vomit. Its a VERY STRONG flavor. Almost too strong. Also, it tastes like bubble gum when you first pop it open, so let it steep for a while. I may keep it around and throw some in the tank from time to time, but definitely not an ADV.
Final Rotation: Dis Won Reserve, Cosmos Custard, Electrum Blonde, On Cloud Custard, Big Willies Custard.
Let me know your thoughts!
