Mrs Lord & Co - Custard Cream

[Sassy]

Hello!

My first review, oooooh, get me!

Firstly, to make things clear this is my personal review of the juice and doesn't represent thoughts or opinions of AAEC. This review will be posted to other forums too.


So, yes, the much talked about Custard Cream!

I paid for this juice, £7 for 15ml and £3 postage. £10 total.

The bottle was packaged exceptionally well, individually wrapped in bubble wrap, in a ziplock bag which was again covered in bubble wrap, good peace of mind for me knowing it was glass. It also comes with a glass pipette dropper which as someone with disabilities like me is perfect, there are other plastic juice bottles I simply can't squeeze, they are way too hard.

I ordered 18mg, and as you can see from my pictures it's 40/40 which would equate to 50/50. You can also see everything that should be on a bottle is. Tactile Warning, and the poison warnings etc. Do bear in mind the dropper that comes with the bottle is NOT child proof, so make sure you follow all your usual safety standards if you keep the dropper cap on.

So, out of the packet I was greeted with a lovely looking bottle which was sealed with a child proof cap. This I *really* struggled with, I nearly gave up and waited for OH to wake up so he could try and open it for me, but me being impatient me gave it a bit of a pry with a little nail tool of mine and got it open. I don't think it was supposed to be this way, wondering if it had been caught on the thread wrong, I've not heard of any other reports of this and ofcourse you have the obvious problem that due to my ME when it comes to strength I'm a big fat woofter.


Stuck my nose right over the bottle and I'm instantly hit with a delicious, rich, yet soft smell. No mistaking what it should be, I could have shoved a proper custard cream biscuit under my nose and I'd have not known the difference.

Filling my Evod was super easy with the dropper, I popped in a brand new 1.8 head and put it on my ego twist at the lowest 3.2 voltage.

Now, bearing in mind I still have a bit of 'vapours tongue' there was still absolutely no doubt in this world it was a custard cream biscuit in my mouth. It wasn't just a normal custard cream though, this was your posh range supermarket type biscuit. Think Tesco Finest or Sainsbury's Taste the Difference.  The biscuit is the stronger flavour of the two but not overbearingly so. You definitely get the creamy vanilla filling taste come through too and I think the ratio is spot on. The biscuit lingers after exhale too, but it's not over powering, just sweet enough to  tap your tongue in your mouth and extend the flavour that bit longer.

Vapour production is great, thick, but not plumes coming out, just right. Obviously on higher voltages this would increase but on most juices I seem to personally prefer the lowest voltage.

Throat hit is spot on for me, it's not a wham, but it's smooth and satisfactory from a bottom coil clearo.

As I've been writing this, my OH has just come in from outside and said 'Cor, you walk in here and all you can smell is custard creams' so even your house will smell nice!

Overall 10/10 for me, not too rich or sickly, but sweet enough to satisfy my huge sweet tooth and for me personally, it could be an ADV I think, but I am a cakey/biscuit person, it may not be an ADV to some.


TL;DR - Buy it, buy it now, for the love of biscuits, buy it now.

Fab review , will probably try this

Biscuit taste is yes. Custard a hint. For me the the flavour was overwhelmingly Egg Nog. In fact identical taste to the Capella Egg Nog that is sitting in my stepping box.

Yep, the biscuit was the stronger of the two

I've never ever had egg nog, in an ejuice or otherwise so can't comment on that one!

Just got my custard cream today - I'm on a premium juice kick for the festive period, trying not to develop an expensive juice habit but failing miserably icon_shoppingm

After a false start where I forgot I needed to click my vamo 5 times to turn it on I filled a tank with a small sample and had a vape.

This juice is a perfect recreation of a custard cream. I was hoping for more of a custard kick, but the smooth vanilla just appears on your tongue after you've exhaled - it's lovely. The biscuit is sweet and not too nutty like some desert flavours.

Overall I'm really impressed, but at this price it will be used sparingly as a treat!

This eliquid has had a lot of positive reviews.
I'm curious ( the cook part of me is) , custard, vanilla, sweetness, these flavours can be translated into an eliquid. But the biscuit intrigues me, can anyone expand further on how this eliquid captures this element of a custard cream.

Many thanks and good review.

Meh, I got some second hand off here, and it does nothing for me personally.

But then I don't really like custard flavours I decided. Or do I?

Thanks to lemental for sending me a taste of his batch of Roms Apple Pie and Custard, I'm beginning to get a taste for it. Not my favourite (that is still Red Astaire), but still nice enough not to just bin like everything else I have tried of the custard variety. I kept it special for NYE, and have been vaping it on and off ever since. I have my own APC steeping just now too, which I will try once I'm finished with what I have in my Custard Aspire, then I may well give the Custard Cream another whirl to see if it's changed.

Good review though, and if I didn't already have it / know I didn't really like custard vaping, it would have certainly aroused my interest.

Thanks.

Haven't tried this particular eliquid @purple1234 . . .  but there are a number of flavourings that can bring a ' biscuity ' element to a mix.

Graham Cracker, made by several Flavour Houses, Flavor West/The Perfumers Apprentice/Capella are a couple. Flavourart also make a Cookie concentrate.

Thanks Perpetua that's cleared the flavouring elements up for me now. I'm going to place an order for this one , the marmalade one they do also has me intrigued so I might as well order that one to.

Ordered some of this to try, its steeping at the moment but it smells exactly like a custard cream... Smells sexy

This is one of those weird ones that, to me, tastes better in a protank at lowish power than in a kayfun on a mech. I think you loose some of the aroma somehow at a higher power, not sure of the science but just my feeling on it!
