Sticky stuff remover sleedale. On my phone so can't link, but I know Bettaware do it and I'm sure plenty of other places so it too  My Mother presented me with a bottle of this many years ago - it actually works amazingly and will last me forever I think! Has worked on everything I've needed to use it on, just let it soak in for 10 seconds or so and the jobs a good 'un. It does need a lot of rinsing/washing with hot soapy water afterwards though. P.s - be careful as even a couple of spilt drops will turn the floor into an ice rink - I learned this lesson in style, much to my humiliation  |

Forgot to say spacey make one with and one without the sweetner, funnily enough such a small amount does make a difference, infact make 3 one without , one with, and one with double the sweetner, I'm thinking the sweetner could be the key. That's what I thought to - and was sure EM was used as it's quite distinctive tasting. I tried adding more EM to mine but that just overpowered everything else and didn't bring through Grants taste. But now....am starting to wonder (and I know this may sound weird) could it be sweetner plus a very tiny bit of koolada?? Or am I now just plucking random ideas out of the custard ether Still, I'm having fun experimenting so am happy to keep trying, while making sure I have a back up bottle of the real thing to savour |

That's interesting to know - maybe AG is the missing component! I shall have to get some and experiment. Already have VG Nic, and will try using sweetner instead of EM... Thank you Pm me your addy and I will send you some very well steeped stuff to try.
It's 50/50 16mg if that is ok.
Thank you loads for the offer but I can't vape anything higher than 5 or 6mg anymore, so 16mg would blow my head off!!! I'll order some AG to use and make some up Vaping on Grants at the mo and I wish I could put my finger on what makes it so unique. Have tried many custards, some really lovely ones, but none taste anything like GVC!! |

oooh I agree Pepperty nicotickets creme brulee is flippin gorgeous!! sammy13 - your recipe is similar to one I found that was sposed to be virtually identical to GVC (except the GVC one had EM in it). On a scale of 1 to Grants, how close to you reckon yours tastes? Just wondering cos I so want to find a diy recipe that's GVCish, and the clone version I made - while really nice - just wasn't it |

rednutt - it's that whole individual subjective thing again isn't it!! With all custards that I've bought freshly mixed from vendors, it's the 3 week mark that the taste seems to go BAM Actually, I have a theory involving a magic custard fairy that sneaks in to my house overnight when any custard juice turns 21 days old... igual Cheers me dear - hope you have a lovely holiday. Get on the butterscotch bliss chykensa - Yep Andy, and thank you! It's like the whole making coils thing over again - as soon as I'd actually tried it for myself I realised I was more than capable

with custard it is always worth waiting for I sent off for 100ml of strawberry custard this week and I don't even like strawberry so I hope I like the custard I don't do anything in small portions me  That's made me chuckle - imagining you trying it every month for the next year to see if the strawberry finally vanishes from the mix and theres just custard lovliness left!!  |

Thank you all for helping me start my mixing career After nearly 3 weeks I have finally allowed myself to sample the Butterscotch Bliss that I made, as suggested by Perpetua Wow - I am amazed at how tasty and creamy and just plain amazing it is!! Now off to make lots more Haven't sampled any of my custards yet - am tempted to on Sunday as they'll be the magic 3 weeks old... Am sure I'll have plenty of mixing disasters along the way, but it's so much fun to do that I don't care!!  |

Just noticed my autocorrected title.....should be custard cream lol If you edit the first post you get ability to edit the title as well, although perhaps Custom Cream is quite apt  Ha ha I thought you meant to say Custom Cream - Q's right...tis very apt |

I got a tad adventurous yesterday  . So far I've stuck to following recipes that other's have posted, but decided to 'have a go' and have concocted a choc, nut, vanilla & cream juice. Have no idea how it'll turn out but loved inventing my first recipe |

My kids are older teenagers (15 & 17) and yes I do vape in the house and in front of them. I read lots of research and studies and believe there is nothing harmful about exhaled vapour. Both sons hated that I smoked (didn't smoke inside) and love the fact I don't any more. They do take the mick out of how geeky & obsessive I've become about vaping though!! I don't vape in shops, cafe's etc - mainly I think that's because I'd become so conditioned to not smoking anywhere, that it just doesn't occur to me! If young kids come to my house (which is very rarely) I'd probably take it on a case by case basis |

lal I use organic cotton wool but I know other people boil ordinairy cotton wool and use it. Personally, I'd only ever use the organic as I'd be worried about bleach etc
