Thank you guys your a lot of help. I love Isle of custard! In fact I have 100ml of donut custard on its way to me while I sort myself out to start mixing.

Would anyone use the vg that is on eBay? 5lt for £32. Just a bit dubious of the quality Lubrisolve is £16.99 delivered for 5 litres VG and quality is fine

Hiyas kirby chefs have a fantastic range of concentrates and is virtually onestop shopping. Pg vg I use classikool on eBay. Nic base everything liquid or ukflavours. Grab some syringes 2 mil and 20 mil, wide bore blunt needles as well. Bottles amazon,eBay. Something to mix into jug clean jar ,jug ,glass. Find a couple of recs you like and go for it. Custards do need a good steep so grab a couple of fruity numbers that are pretty much shake n vape. BTW did you get a message on Facebook pointing you here?

Don't buy a mixing kit kirby. All you need to do is get some syringes and something to mix in. Shot glasses are ok, but I generally mix in a jar (with a lid). Just work out your amounts on a mixing calc, mix in a jar, shake well, then transfer to bottles to steep. Any bottle will do, but a bottle that takes a nozzle is easiest/best. And

kirby Perpetua is your lady for all things custardy Mixing wise? You need plastic shot glasses from the pound shops. Various syringes (various sizes. I just use 20ml and 1ml ones for mine - doesn't really matter). Base liquid (am a huge fan of @ukflavours so tagging them ) and propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerine (VG) for diluting or a combination of the two. och and a mixing calculator (various ones, PC/Mac/Android/Iphone - just do a search in the store. A lot are free ) and you're good to go Hope that all makes sense. Och and don't forget your flavourings (though not essential) Jane Do you not find me dearie that the longer you've been doing it, mixing that is, that the bigger it gets? The containers that is, I now need 100ml as a minimum 200 is better and 400 ideal, some people, even on here mix ltrs at a time, and a 20 ml syringe just ain't gonna cut it

Totally agree with you Bluefish . Many of my staples get mixed at 200ml minimum (old boots VG bottles) then dispensed into ye olde 30ml bottles. But some mixes actually get worse with aging such as Green Astaire. It is good from day 1 to about 5 weeks later then deteriorates and is rank after a few months. So how big I mix depends on how liquids steep. Some still get the 30ml treatment, some get multiple 200ml bottles at a time. And using 5ml bottles for test mixes now to cut costs since I'm experimenting a lot.
