A new frustrated vaper

[bellyman]

I would suspect the nicotine first, not the vanilla.

Thanks for all the great info. What an amazing forum!
I had read about the pitfalls of Smok and do think I need to try a new device at some stage

I do mix all my short fills well and have left them for over a week. Maybe it was a dodgy nic shot! Anyone got any recommendations as to the most reliable nic shot?

The Custard I bought was by “the custard company”. I’m not blaming the actual company as so many reviews have had nothing but good things to say about it. I’m sure it was something I did wrong.

Also, can anyone recommend a really simple but creamy vanilla type ice cream or custard flavour? I like sweet!

ahh the custard company. no its nothing you done wrong.
first box i bought in 10ml bottles were top notch and went into my top 3 list. so then bought the vanilla, mint and strawberry shortfills. now i love custards but these were...well how do i put it, shite comes to mind and went down the sink.they were steeped for 3 months as well and for me to throw custards is a fate worse than death.

nic shots can be found on post 6 of my link i posted above.

custards worth trying and are a must have for me

Then thought I’d get some of the original Milkman, and that had a ridiculous peppery harsh taste. .

maybe, but if it's not .....

here's a recipe of Milkman and low and behold 5% VBIC

so maybe it is something in that flavouring.

Strange. Ive never noticed a peppery taste in VBIC.
Taste is truly subjective.

nah me either ... but I've heard that's all some people taste from it. ... 100% black pepper.

Makes sense bud. Over the years I've most often heard the phrase "peppery" when mentioning custard.

Only certain people get it.

yup, the people that need to taste in a more objective manner.

It’s a similar phenomenon to the mushroom tobacco thing, I think.

Maybe the juice simply needs to steep longer(and/or needs additional breathing or stirring to help it along), it'll be worth keeping the problem liquid and see if it improves with more time, with 10ml bottles the juice is generally pre-steeped and may have had much longer to settle/mix than when you do it yourself, and undergone more rigorous stirring/mix procedures. The whole steeping process does seem a right ball ache compared to just using 10ml liquids tbh, but who knows, come this time next year hopefully we'll have done away with TPD rules (post brexit and in light of the STC report) and get proper sized pre-steeped bottles of juice (wishful thinking i know, but one can hope).
