When
the TPD first hit
the EU, everyone was a little perturbed at
the fact that eLiquids would
now only be available in 10ml bottles. But, as a community,
us vapers learnt
subtle ways around this. And that's where Short-fills come in...
For
those of you who don't know, a short fill is essentially a bottle of
0mg eLiquid, that
leaves space for you to add your own nicotine shot, thus creating a
3mg or 6mg etc.
Now,
If you know me, you know that I am a sucker for custard
flavoured vapes. Digby's DMC was
my first custard flavour (over 2 years ago) and it is still my
favourite. I have not found a custard juice that even remotely comes
close to DMC. Just for
the record, I have reviewed DMC before,
however, I decided to review it again and compare it to my last one,
to see if there's any
change of opinion.
So,
when Adrian from Digby's sent
me two of their most popular flavours (that have been recently
re-released), I was very much looking forward to
tasting this beautiful, beautiful line
of juices!
The
juices that were sent came in 60ml gorilla-style bottles, filled with
50ml of eliquid (to
leave space for your nic shot).
They are 0mg/ml of nicotine , so I assume there will be an extremely
mild throat hit, if at all.
They
are available online and
at www.digbysjuices.co.uk,
and are hand crafted in small batches to ensure great quality and
optimum flavour.
0mg/ml
80:20 VG:PG
As I
remember, DMC is
the same, delicious, almost nutty
custard that I first tried over 2 years ago. It is smooth, creamy and
well executed. There was absolutely no weird aftertaste, meaning
it is an ideal candidate for an all day vape.
There
are definitive notes of soft vanilla, but at no point was it sickly
nor artificial. I particularly enjoy
the wholesome flavour that is carried throughout the
whole vaping process,
from inhalation all the way to the exhale.
The
main flavour component of custard is very, very realistic and tastes
just like warm vanilla custard that you would have with a pudding.
As I
mentioned previously, this was not at all too sickly nor
overpowering. All of the other custard juices that I have tried,
were OK -
initially... but after a short while, they
became literally un-vapeable,
due to the artificial flavourings and almost bitter after taste. You
do not get this with DMC.
It is hands down the best custard I have ever
tried, and you can tell that it was made carefully with
great precision.
Due
to the fact that this particular eliquid is
80/20 VG/PG, one can expect incredible cloud production, without
scrimping on flavour whatsoever.
I
implore you, whether you are a fan of custard vapes or
not, to try this eLiquid and
see for yourself how fantastic it is.
Mum's
Custard
0mg/ml
60:40 VG:PG
So,
from what I can gather, Mum's Custard is very similar to DMC,
although it has a lower VG percentage (60:40 VG:PG)
I had
never tried Mum's Custard before, but if DMC was
anything to go by, I was sure it was gong to taste incredible.
Mum's
Custard carries essentially the same elements of flavour as DMC,
and I can pick up on an almost milky edge to it, that accentuates the
creaminess found in these two flavours.
Due
to the lower percentage of VG I think (although it
may be purely psychological), that the flavour as a whole is a little
more pronounced in this juice.
I
think the main aspect of these two flavours being very similar in
taste, but also being two different VG/PG ratios, would be that users
of non sub ohm set-ups, could use Mum's Custard whilst still enjoying
the taste of DMC.
Vapour production with this flavour was actually still pretty good,
despite it having less VG than DMC.
Overall,
I'm very glad I was able to try it out, and again, like with DMC,
I would highly recommend it to all vapers,
especially those of you who enjoy sweet,
dessert like vapes.
I would like to thank Adrian from Digby's for kindly providing me with these eLiquids for the purpose of this review!
