Yeah you GOTTA pig-out on the shit if you haven’t had it a while and suddenly have multiple bottles :nod:

Matter of fact, I would be curious what it would taste like in hot milk before bed… with 0mg/mL certainly.
I’ve been adding custard and honey flavouring to hot milk with just a half teaspoon of sugar and that tastes amazing: instantly turns plain milk into hot, runny custard with honey.
However good these flavours taste in a vaporizer they taste twice as good in real milk instead of glycerine.
Glycerine is also used as an alternative sweetener for people who can’t eat sugar, though I’ve also tried that one day when I ran outta sugar and just couldn’t be arsed going to the shop: it’s sweet and dissolved fine, but it’s not as sweet as sugar.

I’ve got my own custard in my tank at the moment, and though it’s no KC clone it’s still pretty good: the custard flavour I used was good of course, and the vanilla cream, sweet cream and fresh milk have started coming out now it’s been a few days since I mixed it.
The one I mixed the other night should be even better: Honey-oak Pudding I’ve labeled it though it’s custard heavy, with the same dairy but also 1% sweet honey and 0.5% barrel oak just to give it a faint background woody taste.
Since the flavours themselves are all good without off notes, even if it doesn’t turn out how I imagine it’ll still taste good - which is considerably better than unvapablely bad 
That’s only one day old though - there’s not even any point trying it yet

I needed an additional purchase to get to free shipping about two weeks ago and being they had commercial juice on sale (it’s been at least 4 years since I have purchased any), I added 100ml’s of this OG blend to my cart (for $12.00). It’ took a tank or two to get accustomed to (I think it has Cap VC v2 in it / not V1 which I am used to using) - prolly the butyric acid used to recreate the DAAP mouth feel. I find it pleasant but am already mixing it with my own strawberry cream, or blueberry lemonade, or raspberry lemonade. It’s good though, not exceptional. If it was priced at what it costs me to make 100ml’s I would be a bigger fan. I don’t think it has more than custard, vanilla, perhaps some cream and sweetener in it (it’s not terribly complex IMO) - I saw one person trying to clone it with marzipan flavoring included with AP (I’m not getting those notes at all). If they published the recipe, I would definitely keep it in my daily rotation and build on it.

One thing interesting about it, it is dated as being manufactured 1.11.21. It retains a very light golden tint, unlike most custards of about 6ish weeks aged. I don’t think steeping it in the Gorilla bottle they shipped it in is going to deepen the flavor much either. I’ll save at least 30mls of it and try that in another month or so.

Yeah it’s the lack of complexity I like about it: there’s no need to try and analyze the flavours and it’s plain enough that you don’t notice it at all pretty quickly, which is more in line with cigarette smoke for me since I never really had to pay attention to that - I just had my smoke and liked it, without the need to give it any further thought.
Compared to so many other flavours, it’s nice to have a juice that’s so vanilla though the taste of the exhale is nice and hangs in your nose long enough to get a good taste of it afterwards.
Actually there’s more taste in the exhale than the inhale, but yeah I can ADV it easily because if that understated taste.

Well said, it is very pleasant vape. I like it with coffee in the morning (then again I like a lot of e-liquid with my morning coffee :)).

Wish I’d tried the other versions now: I know they’ve got KC Strawberry and Lemon and I think Blueberry, but I never wanted to take the risk on 100mL - wishing everytime I looked at it that I’d just chosen the original instead 
Jam Monster is largely responsible for my not trying KCs other fruit custards though because I remember once, ALL I had left was that bottle of Jam Monster Blueberry so I had to blugh my way through 100mL of the shit… gawd so awful
But yes MOST flavours seem to be designed to coat your tongue with as much flavour as possible with every hit and killer custard stands out for doing the opposite of that, so you can just vape and go about your business without paying attention to your tastebuds being raped by excessive flavouring.

The only real experience I’ve had being somewhat hooked on a commercial blend is Tribeca. When I first started out vaping that really hit the spot. Now that I’ve pretty much moved on from tobacco e-liquids I do like WW’s New Pistachio RY4 and of late I have been vaping Fear’s Cardinal recipe here and there. I did make several attempts to clone Tribeca but somehow they always came up short to the Halo OG, which ruined it for me. All the rest of the commercial hype liquids are too flavored and or too sweet and just make my nose run.

I’ve had Tribeca! That’s a Charlie Noble one.
Yeah I liked it when I first tried it, then got sick of the sweetness - from the figs maybe? - then came back to it when I’d run out of everything else and liked it even more.
I think because it got that extra time to steep/age or something.

Interesting titbit here - I just looked to see how much they are selling Tribeca for now. Not mentioning the site I see they are selling it “On sale” / Buy 2 60ml bottles regularly $39.99 now for $29.99 {15.00 / 60ml bottle}. Here is one of the random recent reviews:

The ejuice and the sale price are fantastic! I was surprised it arrived so soon as it was backordered. Thanks for the great service and will shop here again.
This is what actually got me into DIY - I knew back in 2015 that if I didn’t get into DIY, I would never be able to afford buying liquid for this kind of money. Now again, being a hobbyist
now ain’t cheap, but the money I spend on hardware is money saved from buying commercial liquid. Plus if I make a batch and it sucks, I am not burning $20 dollar bills.

That’s on my want list: to create a recipe for a juice that’s light and nutty - like, some sort of light nut like almond and pistachio and honey with a touch of vanilla maybe.
Or something… I could happily disregard any tobacco flavours in a mix like that because a sweet, nutty taste would be good enough alone and usually that makes the tobacco flavour bearable anyhow.
*edit: and a tiny 0.5% Acetyl Pyrazine course: fuckin LOVE that shit… it’s so warm and vagely nutty without being specifically peanut or almond or any other ONE nut.
*edit-edit: actually cancel that: AC would make a light, sweet nut mix too heavy and too warm.

Many moons ago, I managed and was the primary buyer for a successful chain of high end tobacco shops. We carried premium cigars by the case (sold individually too), pipes, loose blended tobacco, and foreign cigarettes. I was hopelessly hooked on all of them, I had to try everything anyway before purchasing. The trade shows were great. I still like a tobacco vape once in while to reminisce, but thankfully I found vaping, it definitely has saved my health. One thing I have yet to experience with vaping & tobacco’s is nets…there is always some nuance out there in the hobby to try.

I’ve only tried one flavour that was based on a NET, and though the tobacco flavour was very mild and they’d overlapped it with a caramel, it was pretty nice and didn’t have any those unnatural notes that many synthetic tobacco flavours seem full of.
Nice but mild.
That’d be an alright job though: trying good tobacco…
Apart from the random coughing and slightly tight lungs at bedtime

Thing is I’m not going to tinker in extraction, and I don’t think I want to try someone’s unlicensed NET either (I know there are several out there that are semi commercial)…I think Flavorah does a great job with tobacco flavoring, that is probably as close as I’ll get to NETS in the near future.

Yeah they’ll never get that smoke taste properly duplicated, but just creating a tobacco flavour that doesn’t taste offensively artificial would be close enough.
Old Holborn was my tobacco and I used to LOVE peeling open a fresh pouch and smelling the tobacco.
Hell, even days later I’d love the smell of it.

Got me there - never tried it or knew of it (Swiss) - We carried Drum (rolling shag wasn’t really a quick mover in the 80’s) - I have a buddy that has been rolling ciggs forever, he buys it from the Netherlands (he lives in Sri Lanka and part time in Australia and New York) - “Bali Shag”

It’s an English tobacco.
Much stronger than most pouch tobacco but with a rich kinda mm chocolate smell and no harsh cigar-like notes so it’s nice and smooth.
Only tobacco that never made me cough, it ruined all other tobacco for me - everything else I tried just never had the strength and smoothness of Old Holborn.
