To be honest Bez the ready made Colonel Custard is OK, quite nice, it was the first custard I tried too. I bought the concentrate and mixed it at 15%, 20% and 25% and I felt severely let down by it, even at 25% it is very bland, the taste is there, but only just and is nothing like the ready made! It's a shame realy as all the other T-juice concentrates i've tried so far are great and taste fine. I have held off on buying the Colonel Custard concentrate at the moment. Another kind member on here is sending me a sample of Grants custard and a couple of others that should be a real treat.  |

It doesn't look much better when you zoom in   It's not bad considering it is nearly 1/3 the price of a real vapor shark. Wonder if the DNA clone board is any good? |

bobmcdee smokerainbow sell 1ml tasters at 50p a throw from loads of suppliers, this can give you an idea of what you can get for not much of an outlay if you don't like some. Welcome to the forum. I fully agree with the above. I bought 27 T-Juice samples from Smoke Rainbow for less than £20 with postage. Found 2 really nice flavours now that will get me away from the tobacco juice I have vaped for 8 months. Welcome to AAEC. |

I would try other myself but it up to you - here is Todd going on about some, just skip to 21 mins in - He love his custard and every one he has liked, I have also liked link but like I said taste is subjective, If you really want to try some Grants pm me you addy and I will send you 5ml to try PM Sent. That's really good of you, thank you. I know Todd likes his Custard - I watch quite a lot of his reviews. |

Bez - There are some really great custards out there, no offence to T-juice but theirs is nothing compared to the greats - Grants is a must if you have never had it but it is hard to get hold of link, I always buy 100ml when it for sale, If you want to mix then try our forum, I have mixed Perpetua custard on this page and its yum yum link I also love Dunfords Short Ham which is lush linkGood Luck Maybe best to hold off getting the T-juice concentrate for a while do you think and try some other brands? |

The premixed is tasting very good to me. Didn't think I was going to like it. Though out of my 26 samples of T-Juice only Red Astaire and Colonel Custard I liked. The fact that you like the tester ( mind you 1ml isn't a great guide ) I would suggest making the concentrate at 20%. Do you think I should get a 10ml premix to get a better idea? |

Bez I found that T-Juice custard was week on the taste so I would have thought 25% is about right but like we always say - taste is subjective? what one person finds nice and strong another can find it nasty and week, If you think that the pre-mixed is ok, go for 20%, if you give us an idea of what other custards you have tried we should be able to work out, Have you tried Grants? Digbys or Dunfords? Have you mixed Perpetua custard? or are you new to custard? Edit - If you are new to Custard and like it - oh you are so gonna love others more if you like T-Juice custard This is the first custard I have tried. Surprised me that I liked it so much. Gone through the whole 1ml sample in a couple of hours. :DThe one I was looking really forward to was cherry choc and I found it  . |

Steeping, leave it for 4 weeks at least. Make it, and shake it. Leave it top off for 24 hours. Replace the top and shake shake shake. Pop it in a dark cupboard, regular room temp and leave for 4 weeks, but whenever you can give it a shake. Regarding percentage, well I mixed at 20% and couldn't taste it so upped to 25% , which was okish, just not custard lol. Wow 25% that high! Do other members mix at this level? Thanks for the steeping advice. |

Just tried a 1ml sampler of this juice and I love it. I am about to buy the concentrate and wondered what ratio this should be mixed at to get the same strength of the premade stuff. I will be mixing at 60PG/40VG. How long do you recommend to steep this juice once mixed and the best way to steep?

Check this one out as well. Link. The acrylic is not glass though so watch those tank cracking juices. The acrylic is a deal breaker for me. I seen a frosted glass tank that looked exactly like that acrylic the other day, but it was pretty damn expensive! icon_shoppingm Is there one available for the mini? |

Looks ok that Bez, may get one in the future? I wonder how long it take to fully charge using the small solar panel built into that. |

Those pictured above and only available for the big Aspire at the moment. There is a half acrylic and stainless steel tank that looks really good. I dont own a nautilus mini, I'm running the regular nautilus with the new BVC coils in them. Those acrylic tanks look sick! Been wanting to find a frosted-glass tank for ages though!  Check this one out as well. Link. The acrylic is not glass though so watch those tank cracking juices. |
