I can vouch for both nicoticket custards last stand & bryces vanilla creme custard.. Both are awesome juices and both have amazingly awesome owners/customer service with lightning fast processing/shipping.. Both are priced well too, with prices $.50 a ml or less depending on bottle size... u won't be dissapointed!!

Can't even compare anything to it. I tried cyclops vanilla cream custard flavor and holy hell nothing will ever taste the same again.

Comes in 35ml for about $22 I think the price is great I'd pay double that after tasting it once.

Ordered a bottle. It tasted like the butter pecan rum ice cream flavor from Kick Bass Vapor, not vanilla custard. After a day I payed it forward to a friend. They charged $6 for shipping, making it more expensive than five pawns, and put it in an bubble mailer with a dollars worth of stamps on it. Additionally, they put it in a regular glass bottle with no dripper or tip on it so it's a pain trying to pour it into my mod.
 
So far, the best custard flavor for me is goodlife vapor Kustard (yes, with a K). It is in the Nebbia line (which is 100% vg). It had amazing flavor (especially for all vg) with no extra addition of flavor, incredible vapor and no wicking issues.

I vaped on a smok sid with an aspire bdc at varying volts and watts. Never any problems with burnt tastes (even at 15w or 6v).

At it's base level, it is very smooth and creamy with an interesting and complex vanilla flavor. At lower settings, the creamy taste was more prevalent with subtle vanilla and was reversed at higher levels of power (either v or w)

It was nicely sweet without being overly so and not cloyingly sweet or perfumey (as some custard or vanilla juice can be).

The only issue (which I figured out is a website issue) that I had was trying to get in touch with Jeremy (the owner). I finally did but good contact info was absent on the site. In the package though, was a card with good contact info.

This is going to be my adv. I ordered 30ml but plan to order 120ml.

Overall, you can count on GLV to taste and smell quite true to description (IMO).

Great company, great juice.

After the 120ml (EDIT: the bottle is actually 100ml from GLV) bottle got here we took it in to one of our local shops (we are trying to get some GLV local) and I tried it along with everyone else in the shop.

I can't compare as I have not tried others yet, however my review may or may not be worth something in the end :)

While vaping this I adjusted the wattage on her vamo+nautilus between 4.5w and 9.5w. (edited line)

6.5w had a much nicer smell, and an initial taste which reminded me of the days spent making custard and or flan for cooking school.

7.5w had a nicer finish, but I lost some of that memory smell and was left with more the smell from the next day when it was chilled and ready to be served.

Above 7.5w I thought it was almost the taste I would expect from a custard that was over done, but far from burnt. An less pleasant childhood memory as opposed to a pleasant youthful memory.

Below 6.5 it started to get a bit tasteless and the smell was only on exhale.

So at 6.5w it was very creamy, a nice custard smell in the inhale, and a taste which matched, on exhale a creamy, but not quite as custardy or creamy as the higher wattages on exhale.

A tiny bit of DIY may be in order here to get a favorite flan or custard variation into vapable form.

Given the responses of the folks at the shop, I would say this is above average custard flavor. Most/all of them were dripping on custom mods and the most impressed was running 4 coils, he went back several times for more drips.

I'm glad there are a lot of custards available as I do not agree with my vaping compatriots on this issue. With all due respect, the 2 seeming favorites are both "meh" at best to me. Specifically, they are light (even bland) flavors to my taste.

Dillinger (Villian Vapors) and Grants are both stronger, "eggier" flavors (and I prefer that in a custard). That said, I'd like an even stronger, eggier custard if I could find one...

Have to play devils advocate here, taste is so relative, I dont like Nicotickets Creme Brulee, I prefer their Custards Last Stand but still dont "like" it, theyre both similar. Lots do eh, just my taste.
My favourite Custards so far are Grants Vanilla Custard and The Alchemists Cupboard Egg Custard Tart.
I ordered a bunch of custards from Smoke Rainbow to try recently, and the one I like most is Steamgunks Captain Custard, havent been able to try it properly yet as the dripper is funky but its the only one that smells nice and sweet and smooth, I dont want spices in my custard! lol.

Edited to add: if youve bought Custards Last Stand already then dont buy Creme Brulee unstil youve tried the CLS, because if you dont like it then you wont like Creme Brulee. Save you needlessly spending $$.

Couldn't agree more regarding the Nicoticket flavors Nena.

Thanks for the Alchemist reco...I'll have to try the Egg Custard - sounds like something I might like. What's one more custard when I have probably 17 or 18 on hand!

I've tried many of the ones listed. Then started hearing about a "must have" from a Canadian vendor. Its Darside Creations and his custard is called GMoney. Best custard hands down, period. It taste like actual custard from a restaurant. Not too sweet, good amount of eggyness, some subtle spices, a ever so light caramel finish which rounds it off and makes it all come together. It's very flavorful and for me perfect. As close to the real deal as you are ever going to vape IMO.

dsvcreations.com It took about 8 days to get to me in California which is typical Canadian customs. Can range from 8-12 days in my personal experience. Also, if you are into fruit at all, I highly recommend BC Blast and he has several good ones I've tried.

Also, if you are into finding a "cold custard" Albino Storm is basically the same but mimics as if it had sat in the fridge and gives a cooled pudding effect to it. I can't describe it, but it is delicious as well, if you want to try a twist on an already great juice.

I know it's not really considered a custard type flavor but I just got a bottle of Drakes Vanilla Trifecta today and this stuff is amazeballs.

It is vanilla on the inhale however the exhale and after taste reminds me of an Egg Custard Snow Ball.

I've heard this mentioned several times but never tried it when I decided to book-end my quest for the best custard. My 'cust-uest'? You're a real jerk for turning the leaf...

Like when people ask me about custards I get a far-away look in my eyes and it's just Willhelm screams and phantom machine-gun fire ringing in my ears.

Custards are hard or apparently very particular despite how vanilla the flavor is. Is that a double pun?

For me custard is a dessert I make at home all the time- there are sooo many ways to make a custard so it is very hard to get everyone's appreciation of what a good custard is. Many people don't go as heavy on the eggs, some people use a real vanilla bean pod to flavor, others use an extract. Many people do caramel custards(also easy to make) and have adopted that as a normal custard, sometimes using vanilla, sometimes leaving it out all together. That's why I think it can vary so much in custards because I've tasted them made by many different people and they never taste the same. When I make mine I always incorporate the caramel as it adds a complexity that I love. So when I think custard, I automatically assume there should be a caramel finish, even if only very slight to help balance out the e-liquid.

But caramel or vanilla in a real life custard never should drown out the actual eggy/milky taste of a custard- that is where so many of these "popular" e-liquid custards seem to fail. Vanilla and caramel are suppose to add to the flavor and enhance the flavor of the actual custard, not drown it out. Otherwise it is a caramel vape or vanilla vape or caramel vanilla vape- not a custard vape.
