News just in from ioc...
Normally I would be sending out an email boasting a new flavour soon to be released or a savvy discount code to treat you all with.
But, today I bring news that most of you will not be expecting.
Most of you have probably noticed that there isn't a great deal of stock on site at the moment, for this I can only apologise.
Unfortunately the news isn't great and this is something I have been tryng my best to avoid doing, but sometimes in life some situations are unavoidable.
As of next week, Saturday 3rd February 2018
I will be closing down the website.
This isn't forever, or at least I hope it is not, at the moment it is uncertain but could be for weeks, maybe even months before I am able to open up the website again.
I'm sure there will be lots of questions, some I will be able to answer, others are of a personal nature and will be unanswerable I'm afraid.
I'm sorry to have to do this, and will try and do my best to find a solution to continue to bring you your favorite custards.
I've always referred to 'us' when talking about IOC but in reality it's only ever been me, myself and I holding the fort here, which is why this situation has come to this.
I can no longer give my all and due to certain situations I haven't ever managed to take on staff to train to help in a case like this.
To customers and re sellers in the UK and Europe, and even new clients awaiting to come aboard.
I am truly sorry for this!
Please bare with me at this time.
Pretty much what I have listed online as available is what is left, I might be able to add a few 30ml bottles here and there of a few flavours, but most of the popular one's are almost run dry, so please only email or contact for tracking, shipping and placed order enquiries.
I will be slashing prices of some of the 0mg range as there are a few flavours that are overstocked...
Walk the Plank
Captain's Custard
Clouds Ahoy
Custard Donut
Will be among those in 0mg shortfills on a mega discount.
I would like to thank all customers old and new for your continued support and custom over the years, without you, Isle of Custard would never have been!

Yes, I've just read the email myself solac77 . . . . . sad news, clearly the owner has his personal reasons for doing so. Coping with the business all by himself it must have been massively pressurized. Hopefully a bit of space and time will give an opportunity for him to rest and gather himself.

I wish him all the best and hope he returns soon, in the future. In the mean time, anyone got any ideas as a replacement for walk the plank? I have about 500 mls left made up but panic may set in when I get below 200. Got loads of strawberry sea biscuit fortunately...enough for 1500mls

thx, I had a look around most places and peeps only have the 30ml bottles. I am a tight bugger and prefer the 100 ml bottles, if only for the ease of mixing. I have become lazy and find that generally I just pour the entire contents into my mixing bottles and then fill up with my pg/vg blend lol. I do appreciate your advice though

If you don't want to grab some 30ml bottles while they're still available, I would in your place fisher if it's a fav! www.eliquidflavourconcentrates.co.uk/walk-the-plank-diy-elfc( Or even email to see if those who do have stock left would be prepared to sell a greater volume. ) Have you a plain custard recipe/oneshot that you enjoy as you could always layer in a couple of Raspberry flavours . . . . it might not be an exact replacement/copy, but you never know you might prefer a ' personalised ' take on the flavour.

not really got any other custards on their own, still adjusting to the strawberry seabiscuit , enjoy it , but only in certain tanks atm, once I get on it properly I will probably not even miss walk. I do have plenty of others I vape, so it isn't such a disaster. I tried the odd blends of my own, but never really found one that does it for me, I tend to find concentrates I can use as is , strawberry milks, skittles candy amongst others. At least I know I will never entertain the smellies again lol, 4 yrs + and not one yearning
