Ultimate Vanilla Custard E Liquid

[Ashley A]

Another Update: Though Technically not a "Vanilla Custard" flavour, I thought I'd add my 2 cents worth for Jimmy the Juice Man's Creme Brule.

The smell emanating from the bottle when you crack the seal is strong and pungent. It has the unmistakable perfume of Banana. I took a small drop of the liquid and rubbed in between my fingers to warm it up and let some of the perfumes out, you can get an instant "caramel" smell... it's delicious.

I was getting excited... I loaded it into my Kayfun and primed her up, took a nice deep pull and waited..... and waited.... and waited.... and nothing. Not an ounce of flavour! I'm honestly going to say that this has to be the most disappointing flavour I have tried in my vaping journey so far. It has a very very faint banana flavour (which is awesome when you get it) and and oh so subtle caramel aftertaste (more of an essence than anything else). I think if the flavour was more pronounced, it would be worth the hype, but I was bitterly disappointed. I'm not the only person who tried some from my Kayfun who had the exact same reaction.

Now before people nail me to the cross, I've tried it on 2 different builds and both have been EXACTLY the same. I'm not building another coil just for this juice again

All in all - it's not worth the R250+ price. Stay away as it's not value for money.

Disclaimer: All opinions here are mine, and mine alone. I am not saying this is a bad flavour, I'm just giving my view (read opinion) on it

Shoo, 1 like and 1 agree. Quite different from the reviews I've seen on Jimmy the Juice Man's Creme Brule when researching which flavours to choose as my prize. Mine arrived today and I haven't opened it yet. This makes me think it needs to steep a while to get the flavour the other reviews were talking about.

On a separate note, I did get Melindas nilla custard after reading this thread and immediately loaded up my Subtank and had the same reaction you had here so I left it for over a week. Then I decided to give it a try again and the flavour is awesome and I think I should have bought more. also thinking about the 70/30 mix for my Subtank too.

Hopefully some steeping will make the Juice Man's Creme Brule just as awesome or better or I'm gonna be as upset as you.

try it....taste is subjective, so it would be good to see other views

btw, I just liked the post because I am interested in the outcome, not because of agreement. Have not tried Jimmy juice yet

My experience with the jimmy juices ias that its very unrefined. I dont feel like the liquid is well rounded, I find them sharp and perfumy. Havent tried any of them steeped yet though. But all the juices ive had were lacking that factor which blends the components together

 

[Tom]

interesting.....looks like it does not live up to the hype

 

[Ashley A]

Well I opened the Creme Brûlée and Caramel Pear to let then steep. The Crebe Brûlée smells kinda good. The Caramel Pear made me check the bottle again to make sure it was the right flavour then I put my finger on it as the key smell is the burnt sugar. Definitely seems like a juice that needs to be steeped and mixed properly to smooth out a bit.

Let's see how long I can let it steep for and I'll post my opinion when I finally try it.

Yeah guys, like I said, it's just my opinion on the Juice. I have also tried the Shurb flavour in a Kayfun, and found that to have A LOT more flavour when compared to the creme brule. I really enjoyed the Shurb Flavour (where the guy I tried it from does not), so as @Tom said, taste is subjective. I am keeping the rest of the 'brule' for when I have a RDA... maybe it's one of those juices that needs to be dripped.

Interesting. I was also thinking about getting the Shurb flavour from the product description but the reviews I read said it had too much flavour so you get sick of it after a while so I didn't choose it. Had that problem with Wacky Wicks where it was nice for a few toots so I bought it after trying but then found it to be a very bad adv. I guess it is personal taste and very subjective.

I am thoroughly enjoying Melinda's 'Nilla Custard, from SkyBlye.
Very nice. Very smooth. Slight hint of buttery flavour in there too... Loving it.

As for ADV? Naw. After about half a tank (~2ml), my tastebuds have gone dull to this.
The only flavours I have tried that don't go dull, is certain fruits, and menthols/mints.

This just shows how taste is subjective. I can ADV Melinda's 'Nilla Custard without losing any flavour, but mints/menthols all start tasting the same to me. Right up to a point where it all just tastes cool with no other taste. (just noticed I REALLY suck at describing tastes. hahaha)

Tip: Melinda's 'Nilla Custard is an ideal mixer to tone down any harsh tobacco e-juice.

i am vaping right now Grants again. I just ordered more of it, as i am currently in the UK. Its the best Vanilla Custard I have tasted so far. I order full VG, and the flavour is not muted at all.

 

[Daniel]

@Tom any chance you might bring back some grants would really love to try it

Ah ok no problem

I have been trying my hand at mixing my own juices and have a GVC clone recipe which is steeping at the moment. I will give my feedback on it when I finally try it (so far it's smelling absolutely delicious!)

Got my melinda nilla custard today. Its amzing and rich flavour. I do get a bit of n burnt after taste. Is this the norm with this e-liquid?

Check your wick & coil - that is the source of your burnt after taste.

Hi Johan. I did try it with 2 different coils but still got the after taste. Will do n new wick and report back.

I didn't get a burn't taste, but I have read that Dessert e-liquids do not handle higher voltages/wattages too well. There could be a few reasons you're getting a burnt taste. Bad wicking, high voltages/wattages or flavour crossover (if you're using a twisp or anything similar where you can't swap out the cotton/nylon between juice flavours).

My mini review on: General Custer'd - The E-Liquid Project

I received my bottle of General Cuter'd from @KieranD from Vape Cartel, and steeped it for an extra week, just to ensure that the custard flavours really were well mixed in and steeped to my liking. I loaded it into my Kayfun on a 1.3 Ohm coil using Organic Cotton and vaped up a veritable cumulonimbus of clouds from there on out! This Vanilla Custard is awesome! Just pure Awesome! I would go so far as to say, it's the best locally made custard flavour I've tried so far.

The flavour is initially a strong, sweet vanilla flavour coupled with a nice nutty taste which I can only assume is Dulch de Leche, which then opens up to a thick creamy custard flavour. The custard is spot on, being eggy and creamy with just the right amount of richness that I have been looking for. The flavour is surprisingly complex, as each pull will leave you tasting slightly different combinations of the above. Sometimes it's a bit more eggy, the next hit might be a bit more nutty etc... It makes a really nice ADV in my opinion.

All in all, it's well worth the R125 price tag. I WILL be ordering more of this in the future, and if you have any hesitation to try this out, don't... You'll thank me later

Great review, thank you. Would you mind pasting your review to this thread as well?

Received my Grant's vanilla custard and so far, I'm quite unimpressed by it.
All the different versions of vanilla custard that I've mixed myself so far have been better.
It's not bad per se, but definitly not living up to the hype surrounding it.
Will I buy it again? Nope, not worth the money.

You're a lucky man! I'd love to get my hands on some of the original, even if it's not too good, I'd love to know what it tastes like!

I'm surprised that you're not enjoying it.... from all the hype that surrounds it, I thought it would be amazing.
