Perfumer’s Apprentice Vanilla Custard Concentrate has a beautifully rich and buttery flavour with a creamy vanilla taste. For many users, Capella is the king of custards, but others find that this Perfumer’s Apprentice custard flavouring to be better, with its vanilla notes being a bit more prominent. As with all flavourings, taste is subjective but you will find that this is a lovely mellow and sweet concentrate, which can be used in a multitude of cake or dessert recipes but like all custards, it definitely improves in flavour after a good steeping.
Recommended percentage: 5 – 10%
Recommended steep time: 1 – 4 weeks

Notes
- This is a concentrated flavouring to be mixed in a DIY e-liquid. It is not to be vaped without diluting.
- We suggest mixing most Perfumer’s Apprentice concentrates at approximately 5-10% initially and then adjusting to your personal taste.
- All of the Perfumer’s Apprentice concentrates we stock are PG based.
- There can be noticeable colour differences between different batches of the same flavour. This is a natural result of the flavour manufacturing process.
- The Perfumer’s Apprentice and The Flavour Apprentice are the same company and the products are the same. We only use the Perfumer’s Apprentice name because it is more widely recognised.

Can’t taste any vanilla nor custard. Smells like molten Margarine to me.

Wish I could edit my first review that mentioned capella, it still stands. But for me, the recipe which is my go to and has been for years is 10% pfa van custard, 4% pfa strawberry ripe, 4% pfa banana cream, 4% capella sweet strawberry. Not the cheapest to make but absolutely incredible.
Brian B –
Just fantastic.
I mixed this at 11% [I will go lower next time] in a 60/40 VG/PG Mix, 14mg Nicotine. I left it to steep for 4 weeks. It is outstanding to my pallet. Rich, spicy vanilla, smooth as anything. Very highly recommended.
I bought 30mL of this, based on reviews here, and am pleased I did.
I am so looking forward to mixing this with fruits and bakeries.
10/10

Nah, sorry…as straight up custard it’s not that great. Don’t know where all these 5 stars are coming from. Was willing to give it a chance, but even with a cured in a new coil/wick build, …still nah.
Tried it coz it was a lower percentage mix, but not even close to Capella V1 or 2, if custard is your thing. (Straight up, or even for cream sweetener mixing).
Sorry to say…very disappointing!
John Dyason –
A nice vanilla custard flavour different to capella custard more of a vanilla taste to it and goes nice with any vanilla type of mix add some caramel and some creams and you get a great caramel custard mix good value for money ?✌️Don’t smoke vape
dave –

silentg1971 –
pretty good as far as custards are concerned, always have some in my mixing drawer
Sam –
Good custard goes in a lot of recipes. Needs a good steep of 1 – 2 weeks for the full flavour

This is a nice custard I was hoping for a little more vanilla flavour but hey ho, got a really nice custard. On its own, it needs to be quite a high percentage to get the flavour through, it has a lovely smooth texture in the mouth with a very sweet taste but not sickly at all. It is very good for mixing, it is useful as a sweetener and I found I could keep adding it to increase sweetness with a hint of custard so good if you need a subtle, sweet smoother. I sat it in hot water for while it really did help to intensify the flavour.
Below is a list of vanillas that I have tried so far and commented on

Flavour west Madagascar vanilla.

I really like this one, which surprised me, got it for the wife, she fancied a custard mix, so gave this one a try and ended up loving it myself, also tried the healthier version vanilla swirl, which is nice but true to fashion the one that’s worse for us tastes best! But yeah this is lovely in mixes, you can’t go wrong what you mix it with, lovely! 10 out of 10!
Stephen –
Ok custard flavor long steep needed
Gareth –
Smooth and creamy custard. will need a good 3-4 weeks steep though.

doug –
I can’t stop mixing this with fruit flavours! The amount of coils I’ve gunked up smoking this haha..great!
Karl –
I mixed 12% in a 70/30 vg/pg mix and left for a week. It tastes great. I still have the Capella to try for comparison but I do like this. It’s the best custard one I’ve tried so far.
Brian –
Best custard flavour so far
garygilbert71 –
for me this is the best custard flavour but better after a good steep
Jennifer –
Beautiful for adding some depth, I even throw a couple of drops in my nutella mix for a bit of that thick taste it has. Handy for any dessert flavour.
Andrew –
Is used this in unicorn milk clone and it taste great nearly as good real stuff.
Neil –
Just get it…you`ll wonder how you go along without it afterwards…Perfect standalone for some good custard vaping….personally @ 12% yum!, but taste is subjective
but I find where it really shines is as a mixer for a creamy vanillary (sp) note to the whole recipe…….trust me you NEED this in your toolbox.
danig1 –
I use this with my ever changing DIY vanilla custard, very nice addition to my recipe.
d.sewell3 –
Good creamy custard, mixes well with fruit, only need small percentages if you have the patience to steep it for a couple of weeks.
mark –
not too bad for the price but prefer Capella v1
steven –
Great custard love it needs to steep well
Gail –
Very nice custard I’ve made several different batches all slightly different but it all tastes good just gotta let it steep now
dean_jensen –
just mixed this up, had a little pre-taste and it’s awesome. now if i can just leave it for a few weeks without returning!
dbdl23380 –
truly awesome flavour, its mostly all I use, setting a bench mark at which I rate everything els, I make it at 20% flavour at 70/30 vg/pg 10mg nic. steep for at least 10 days. the longer the better.
Peter –
I’ve tried them all but I just keep coming back for more of this. It’s quite simply the best tasting. And great value too from Vapable.
Daniel –
Good after a long steep
suehall.1510 –
The best custard flavour. I love it on it’s own mixed at 10% and leave to steep for a week or so.
rachel –
Wasn’t to keen on this even after a steep. It was OK, and could see it being used in mixes but not as a stand alone custard. I’ll continue using capella v1
ashley.mg.watts –
Steeping is a must with this custard but essential tool in my box. Great base for custard puddings when mixed with fruits, chocolates and shines when you ramp up its vanillas with vanillan, EM and Vanilla Swirl! Cheeky little number that will have you grabbing for a spoon when mixed with Jack fruit and Ripe Banana from TFA and a little EM!
Paul –
Awesome taste, pewrfect for adding to other flavours
Paul –
I keep coming back for this Custard, tastes awesome
Paul –
Great custard flavor great @ 12% as a stand alone, as good as capella, but cheaper
mojorisin –
Very nice and has become my day to day vape, like the other reviewers it’s better to let it sit for 1- 2 weeks to really improve the flavour.
As always a great speedy service from vapable
good4baker –
very good don’t need a lot and a great mixer
richard –
I just love this flavour
Even better once steeped
zainfx –
Steep for best results, really nice flavour off the bat, but after a week or 2 of steeping its so creamy and satisfying, love it!
Neil –
Really nice custard, not bad at all freshly mixed up but really really benefits from a good steep of 1-2 weeks
mohsinmalikuk –
very little difference between this and capellas. both are rich and custardy. I like to mix at 20% and steep well. doesn’t need sweetener, but I like to add it cause I like it really sweet.
Dominic –
I really like this. Its almost indistinguishable from the Capella v1. Needs slightly less time to sit though.
mark.ml1 –
Not as good as the Cappella V1 but still an alternative and it’s very nice. I normally make a mixture with my custards so a good mixer.
ken –
This is the first time that I have seen Vanilla Custard for sale by P/A . I will order more .
Dominic –
Great custard flavour.
Prefer this over the Capella version 1 and this is considerably cheaper too.
john –
Better than other custards that i have tried.
David –
I enjoyed this, mixed at 15% with 2% dulce de leche and a few drops of ethyl maltol to taste. A well rounded custard.
Joe –
Really unique custard taste, different from any other I have tried, excellent in mixes with pie crust and other baked concentrates.
Connor –
Opened an account after trying this concentrate. smooth creamy taste, up there with the best for flavour and quick service too. Thnx vapable
Elliot –
Love this stuff,
fantastic vanilla custard, a lot stronger than the capella ones, but its a different taste. but its cheaper, and its really nice, I buy this along side the capella one, and pick up which ever one I fancy vaping, there both as good as each other.
allanslatter –
I ordered this and it’s so nice I couldn’t stop puffing on it its just so morish
darren –
creamy custard heaven in a bottle..

Simon –

denys –
Got this in my last order for free (thank you), I prefer the flavour to cappella vanilla custard but it does have a slight soap/perfume taste on first drag, anyone know how to get rid of this?
robert –

Chris –
Smooth and creamy awesomeness!! Buy some now!!
Michael –
