@Chrispdx Whew, I’m glad you said that. I thought I was going crazy when I started test mixing it. You’re absolutely right.

Have you tried FLV vanilla pudding? I enjoy it but find that as it steeps the vanilla aspect tends to get overly “dark”…
I do highly recommend German Flavors Vanilla pudding, the only flavor from my experience that tasted of actual vanilla pudding and can be bent into an authentic custard.
I have been testing FR custard also many claim to taste butric note but i think they used 2 much(1.5-2%) from my tests so far with FR less is more. My SF test of FR custard at 0.75% seems promising. Just noticed they have a FR vanilla custard as well up on NR site! 
Edit% oops i didnt mean to modify your quote lol
Second sentence of quote are my thoughts…

Yes, thanks for the suggestion but I have it in my stash already 
It’s really a very nice flavor but I haven’t found out how to work well with it yet. Something goes off when you try higher flavor % with it. So it works well in a mix as an undertone but I’d like to bring it more to the front and I fail every time trying.

I agree about FLV pudding, and i have the same problem with the plain Custard FLV it gets weird for me above 1%.
If you can track down the German flavors vanilla pudding it could be the holy grail you seek
I got it at Vaperstek

for me TPA vanilla custard has a harsh peppery note ( vape form ) i do not test concentrates on the hand or straight because i always get a nasty bitter taste

I know you love some Strawberry Milkshake SC RF. I don’t have it but most flavors I really love has a pretty good FT. Just curious if you tried an FT on it or will you try in case you haven’t?

One other thing to input is I noticed you didn’t state what percent you used in your mix. It may be you need to let that juice sit and steep for a bit to let the taste settle out some. While I’m sure it won’t hurt you in the long run on getting a couple different creams or custards (you’ll most likely get more at some time anyway)… I would set that new juice to the side for a couple weeks and re-visit it to see if you notice any changes in your perception of it later. Couldn’t hurt (too much).

just for shits and giggles , i tried on finger and i could taste the starwberry very well but the alcohol type taste over powers everything else and makes me shiver lol , i could see this helping some that can get past the bitter taste and i could actually see using this to get glimpse of what to expect but im not sure if its only bc i can taste the strawberry ill have to try with a cream

This is a group of flavors I find very hard to judge from a FT. Beside the RF SC Ice Cream Sandwich, I was never able to gauge this group of flavors by a FT.
