That’s right - you all pay less for juice and flavourings than we pay for a bottle of water here.
And I can’t figure out why outside of that we just keep on paying what we do for everything…
Grr.

Any of the ‘branded’ trendy waters in Woolies will get you in the ballpark of $6+ or more, though admittedly you can buy water cheaper, and also admittedly I would never buy water in a bottle when the shit gushes out every tap and falls from the sky for nothing.
I’ve seen it there though and wondered who on earth would pay for water, let alone that much…
Wankers, I spose.

Which state are you in?

Welcome and glad you joined.
Could start simple with single flavor and branch out from there:

Banana benders - they ALL think their state is best
I’m sure he’s serious, though I’m unsure why they think that when NSW is the premier state and the one that started the country.
Sydney is in NSW: we win - simple as that
The first to be a state - we New South Welshians are much more conceited about our superiority than Queenslanders could even hope to be.
Queensland wishes it was NSW
So sad.

Welcome @Scotty. I love nothing more than a good custard myself for which there are many variations like butterscotch caramel cookies nuts and so on and I personally don’t find them boring in the least.
As already mentioned though they do improve greatly with a good long steep sometimes even for months kept away in a cool dark place but it’s well worth the wait and if you carefully plan your mixing rotation you will always have some ready to vape. There are some great custard recipes that you can follow with Yellow Matter Custard being one of my all time favourites because it has that commercial e liquid taste but better.

The ones I like best are the bland custards: specifically because they are bland, you become less conscious of having to taste an’t flavour at all.
They’re pleasant, without needing to grab your attention is what makes custards so good, I think.

“Understated”, opposed to being the attention whores most flavours are always trying to be.

I understand what you mean buddy, trouble with me is my taste buds aren’t the best so lots of e juice can taste bland to me anyway.

I hear you there @Lucas_James_Holden, a lot of them have no taste, or completely different taste to me.

So everything tastes nice and bland like custard you don’t need to pay attention to 
That’s alright… better than always having your tastebuds tell you there’s a flavour in amongst the dozen or more you can’t quite place 
Can’t be annoyed by ‘off notes’ either if you cannot taste them, though you also can’t get the full impact of any amazing flavours hmm…

Hi robin,
Nice to meet a fellow female mixer!! I am as well. Just wasn’t sure what name to use when signing up for the site. I’ve looked over a lot of the custard recipes and I see this mixture a lot. What is the reasoning to use cotton candy? I’ve seen other people say it works much like ethyl maltol. Is it for flavor or thinning agent? I can’t seem to work out what the point is.

Presumably used because it’s sweet without having much actual flavour if it’s anything like real fairy floss, which usually tastes like nothing but ‘sweet’, though the pink makes us think we’re eating something whith flavour in it.
Though nowadays, there’s all different colours of cotton candy and they might have actual flavour in some.
In a custard mix though it would add sweetness without adding actual sucralose, which isn’t something we like adding because it hunks coils up faster the more you use.

I won’t complain about prices, I promise. I reside in America but have a company in Australia and travel there 6 x’s per year. Well that is until the covid. Haven’t been to Oz since Feb 20. So strange not to travel. But can’t say I miss the long flights. I do miss my fellow Aussies and not quit the same not seeing them in person. What state are you in Guido? Seems like America and Oz are both out in the cold when it comes to vaping. So much for science. This is another reason I’m DIY now. Tired of the threat of some type of ban and then it actually happening. Ridiculous!
