This, my first ever public review of a liquid, came to fruition after first, making mention of the fact that I’ve consumed quite a bit of Simon’s One Shot-Custard Slut(it’s really good stuff), and, then, by some humorous form of coercion from a regular, here at VC…someone who’s also become a friend.
So, here I sit, at my keyboard, trying to stitch together enough word’s to convey my thought’s about this worthy concoction.
Buckle up…here we go.
I’ve been filling my lungs with Custard Slut for just over a year now, having made the inital purchase as a relatively new member here, at VC, to help support the site. It was the name of the recipe that caught my eye while browsing the ‘diyflavorchaser.com’ store…well, the custard part of the name, more so than the slut part, but I digress!
One tankful in, and I was liking it…I mean really liking it! The taste was much different than any custard I’d tried, up to that point. The first part of it’s description reads: ‘Custard Slut is a decadent creamy vanilla custard with a nice European eggy feel’. So, without putting further thought into it, the elusive note I was experiencing toward the finish was simply chalked up to being the ‘nice European eggy feel’. I guessed that eggs must just taste different in the land down under.
But seriously, as I mixed, and went through bottle, after bottle of CS, now some 800ml later, and counting, I would sometime’s fixate on just what the hell IS ‘that’ …beyond the mid weight creaminess(this doesn’t strike me as a heavy custard), a smooth vanilla that ride’s along throughout, egginess, and some sort of buttery, caramel-ly note??
And, getting back to that deceptive finish, where, in my Goon 1.5, I’m not picking it up as much, as with the sub-ohm tank and mesh coil. (Yeah, I know RDA/RTA’s are the gold standard of testing flavor, but I’ve never been one to go with the flow ) Soo \sigh…the closest way I can try to describe it, is that there’s a ‘Cola’ note floating around at the end of each hit. Yepp…the part that hit’s the roof of your mouth when you take a swig of the real thing. And , for me, that’s the part that keep’s me wanting more of this mix!
The second half of the profile description is written as follow’s: ‘Those that say custard isn’t meant to be vaped on its own haven’t vaped this’…I concur, but you do whatever float’s your boat! For me, Custard Slut stand’s quite well on it’s own!
Oh, also, I DO add .5% of Sweetness-Flavorah when mixing this, as many mixer’s leave sweetener’s out of their one shot’s(usually noted in description), allowing for the personal taste’s of the individual.
So, there you have it…thank’s for reading…I highly recommend you pick up a bottle next time you find yourself perusing the shelve’s at the Flavor Chaser store.
Derek, aka @SessionDrummer , Thank you for the ‘push’ I needed, to put myself out there.
Though I’m pretty sure I’m not cut out to do review’s.
