After reading some of the thread I got hold of some Melinda's nilla custard to try. I did enjoy it but maybe some of the custard connoisseurs could recommend something sweeter in taste. It has to be available in 0mg please.

On a side note, I know some members have tried the Grant’s Vanilla Custard if you could let us/me know your thoughts.
Every time I go to the website it is sold out with no further info. Do you know the size, pricing plus shipping and if there is a zero mg version?

The sweetest for me was Custard's Last Stand by Nicoticket. See eciggies has 0 mg in stock here. They are rather expensive compared to juicy joes, but the latter does not have 0 mg.

U gotta look on their website every now and then. Grant announces next sale well in advance, its on about once a month. When u know the date make a reminder on your cell for it..... as it sells fast.
Dont know if there is zero nic tho. Bit i do know that its super yum, and quite sweet, as i like it

IMHO better then CLS

I tried that the last time I saw the date but must have been too late.
Do you know the pricing on it perhaps?

Grants sells out within a few hours of sell date. He's a really great guy though, you can email him direct and order some, you may be too late for this month but.

I don't know if this would work, but mail him and say Rajiv from South Africa recommended his custard and you would like to order some with DHL shipping etc etc. Maybe he'll hook you up now OR at least dispatch your juice at an earlier date then what the site says is the sell date, he did this for me before where he sent my juice with DHL a few days before and I received it on the day it went on sale.

It's a brilliant custard and my ADV. I used to like CLS but now I find it meh, I tried malinda's, for a local custard it's really nice. I have just over 400ml left of grants out of 800ml and love it to bits.

So... a friend of mine cracked open his Melinda's Nilla Custard last night, and I just got to try some at work this morning in his Kayfun and all I have to say is WOW! I absolutely LOVE it. It has a really rich, creamy vanilla taste which is not too overpowering but not hidden away like in some other vanilla juices I've tried. I was however a bit surprised by the throat hit I got off of the liquid. I'm not sure if it needs more steeping time, but I thought it would have a lot less throat hit then what I got. Otherwise, I can easily see it becoming a new staple in my pantry

MNC has a nice throat hit throughout it's life (for me at least)..I don't find it too harsh and it's one of the reasons I like it so much

Any vendors around the west and north area stocking Melindas nilla custard

Ok, so here are my final thoughts on Melinda's Nilla Custard:

The initial flavour is a creamy, yet strong vanilla hit... The taste instantly reminds me of those pre-made vanilla creme caramels you get at the shops, just without the burnt sugar caramel sauce It's delicious, there's no other way to describe it.

The aftertaste is a little more complex. I have tried this in several different atty's and builds and I have noticed that the aftertaste almost has a rooibos tea like taste. I'm not sure if it's supposed to taste like this, but damn, I'm loving it. There's not much of a lingering aftertaste to the juice, so it makes it very easy to smoke all day without getting sick of the taste, as I have experienced with some other vanilla flavours.

All in all, it's a great flavour and I know I'm going to be buying more in the future.

I have a question for @Melinda - If I asked nicely, would you be able to make a 70/30 vg/pg mix? I'm finding that the throat hit is just a bit too much for me...

 

[Derick]

I'm not sure if it's supposed to taste like this, but damn, I'm loving it.

If you're loving it then yes, yes it is supposed to taste like that

Melinda will answer you shortly on the custom mix

 

[Melinda]

@UnholyMunk thanks for the kind words, I do custom mixes but it takes a day or 2 to do it, so when you place your order just ask for the VC to be a 70/30 VG/PG mix in the comment box and I will do that for you, if you don't mind the extra waiting period.

I do prefer my custom mixes to be mixed over the weekends give me more time, but if you in a hurry then I can do it at night

I also can't guarantee that it will taste the same since VG mutes flavours, I would love some feedback then please

I ordered some quacks goose Juice on Saturday. I'm told it's supposed to be better then grants. A lot of grants fans say it's a must have and they are pretty much exclusive to these two juices. Can't wait have 240ml coming in

 

[Jakey]

what is the total cost of bringing in a 240ml bottle like that? and how long does it take

Has not shipped yet, so I'm not sure, think it will be coming with USPS Priority international so 8 days or so. Total came to $151 for 240ml. Ive asked a few local retailers to look into bringing some in, but I'm too impatient so I ordered some for myself

 

[Jakey]

hehe good stuff man. keep us posted. theres some juices i really wouldnt mind buying in bulk.

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
