Grants Custard Price ?

[danliddle]

Does anyone know the prices to this on Grants Site as they go on sale Friday & wanting to know the price for 30ml or 100ml bottle so I know how much to pay and keep money to one side ?

[wooky]

30ml - £12
50ml - £20
100ml - £39

good luck with f5 battle

Is it a nightmare to get one ? never tried getting one of hes site ?

[wooky]

It can get a bit hectic, but I'd pre-register before the juice goes for sale cos the site used to get very slow due to the amount of traffic when the juice goes on sale, but think that's been resolved now.

The scramble for this liquid is ridiculous, why the need to have such little supply is beyond me when the demand is obviously there, coupled with that the fact that the vendor doesn't understand the need to update the website to cope with the increased bandwidth and you get possibly one of the worse internet buying experiences ever!

TL;DR Was once the daddy, now there are better.

Mainly because the seller has a limited amount of time to produce it and it is a one man show as far as I am aware. I will be buying my 50ml as usual on Friday. I have yet to find a Custard that is better.

Hopefully get one some member sent me a sample didn't like it at first then tryed quite a lot of custard flavours then came back to the sample and loved it thought it was the best I've tried

I agree, the one and only time I got one in the basket the site wouldnt let me check out. My emails etc were ignored for weeks and when they finally answered and sent a new login, it didnt work. That was when I decided that I would do without. Not worth the hassle of such poor customer service.

No i'm aware that he is a sole trader.  That doesn't excuse the website problems though or the poor customer service.  To me this is one of those liquids that has been put on a pedastool and people think that they must like it.  In fact, i see many posts every week on numerous forums asking if it needs steeping or are they missing something because they just can't understand what the fuss is all about.  Now don't get me wrong, it's a very good custard but IMO Accies Ambrosia, Vaper Capers's Custard and Steamgunks Captain Custard are more than a match for it without the additional headaches.

I have been buying GVC for a year and I have never had poor customer service in fact I found the service to be very good.

I bought some second hand. It was quite nice, but really not worth my time fannying about with the system that GVC has going now. Life is too short.

There's a very pleasant GVC ' clone ' recipe if any of you are mixers and fancy giving it a punt.

GVC CLONE

Capella Vanilla Custard 18%
Dulche de Leche 2%
French Vanilla Deluxe 4%
Sweetener 1%

I use this recipe and though I havn't tried GVC I can't imagine it can be that much better!

The last batch I made used Ukflavours Vanilla custard and french vanilla, came out just as good IMHO and the cost was very low, a nice bonus!

It isn't for me archiecat.


A little less sweet maybe, which I prefer anyway . . . but upping the sweetener a smidge, or using Ethyl Maltol at a higher percentage are always options.

Packed with Custardy loveliness as it is though.

archiecat did you use the same % with the UK flavours please? I have all of those concentrates.............Sue
