Goodbye to custard

[Blownupdolly]

Over the last few months I have started having problems with my breathing. I do have COPD, but the specialist told me a year ago I was not in the advanced stages, and the fact I had just started vaping would be a great help.

I am a big custard fan, so much so that for the first 6mths of vaping, I used nothing but GVC. Since I have been making my own eliquid at home, it seemed to me that when I vaped custard my lungs were rattling somewhat, BUT, not when I used my other mixes such as LIme Zinger, Strawberry and pear drops.
In the last three weeks my lungs have become so bad it was frightening. I could not get air into the bottom half of my lungs. It was as if someone had tied a knot in the balloon so to speak, and nothing was getting in. The doc put me on steroids which have worked, although I cannot touch custard at all!! If i do, I immediately get the symptoms back again.

I am so sad to say goodbye to GVC. I even tried making my own via Steve's (oneday) recipe, but no matter how I did it and all the variants I tried, it has had the same results. I just have to face the fact I am allergic to custard

Funnily enough I used to vape Egg custard tart like it was going out of fashion.
But I started to find it was making my chest phlegmy if I vaped it in bed at night and was causing me breathing problems (I have sleep apnea)
Luckily I've gone right off custard flavours now so not a problem but it used to affect me.

Dolly, so sorry to hear of your problems, but if giving up the custard means your breathing improves, then you have to do it. I wonder what it is in that flavour, and not in others, that causes it?

Hope you find another 'favourite' to take it's place, and especially hope your breathing continues to improve.

Sending lots of love and hugs x x x

I don't know what it is Raff, but after all the different ways I have tried vaping it, I am convinced it must be something in the flavouring. I even tried 100% VG and it still made my chest tighten up.

Maybe try a different Vanilla custard or do a process of elimination to see what is the cause, it might solve it so you can still enjoy your custard juice.

I have tried three different custard flavourings Rom. Capella, TPA and 28vapes own brand. Every one has had the same result.

Bad luck Dolly.

I gave up on Custard over 6 months ago....far too "heavy" a juice for me. I loved it, but I don't miss it.

It's a pity about the custard, but its great that you have been able to find out what's causing it. Glad that you are feeling better now.

Depending on the recipe but maybe it is not the custard but the other ingredients? maybe a process of elimination, anything to get your custard craving as i know i love it

Well,ci did try all VG and all PG. I even tried it with no nicotine! All ended up making my lungs rattle like rice crispies!

Sorry to hear about your health probs there dolly. But just think, if you can't get a custard that suits then just think of the 100's of other juices available to fall in love with!!

Too true Charon. I am going to order some new stuff at the weekend and spread my wings a bit more with flavours.cat least I think fruit ones seem to suit me better.

A right pain, Dolly, as you enjoyed it, but at least you know & there are loads of great flavours to tickle those taste buds & fruits are rather good.

I vape fruit flavours all the time now and never had any breathing problems with fruits at all.
