yea i might do and that custard 9 time out of 10 dont even make it onto the apple pie i eat it lol gonna try custard for sure tho to see what its all about

It's a love or hate thing, try a bottle of pre-made -as I say this one is a proper custard taste to get an idea - vapingking.co.uk/.
Let it sit in a cupboard for 3 weeks then try it. I tried it after 2 and thought what? then by the time it was gone ( 4 weeks ) I wanted more more more.
If you like, go down the mixing route.

Oh I wish, my last mix I left 3 weeks, my new mix at the 26% is out of sight
The funny thing is I never really pay much attention to steeping, but custard for some reason DOES need it.

yeah one of my other faves, Arctic Honey from VE, needs at least 3 weeks steeping, didn't stop me diving straight in when it came through the letterbox the other day though, don't worry though i ordered a few bottles so the rest will be proper lush by the time I get to it.

Added to 24 ml 50/50 PG mixed to whatever nic strength you need to archive your required strength. Steep for 2 weeks then vanish in a cloudy bliss

I mixed colonel custard at 20%, THEN the next batch at 23%.
Nothing else added though, it took a while at first it was perfumery, then it got better, at least 4 weeks for CC

How much do you guys mix at a time to have it sitting around that long OneDay & Perpetua??? I'm amazed if I manage 4 weeks before I tuck into mine!

You have to get into a production line with custard to avoid the steeping agony. That bottle in my pic slipped itself away into hiding, and only re-surfaced recently. I don't have 9 months supply

Me neither . . . I've just been on a mission to use some of the other mixes that have been knocking around for a while, with the thought of a custardy treat to keep me going at the end lairey.
