This Gold Ounce
Description
One of my all time favorite commercial e-liquids is Blondie by Centerfold Vape Co. It is described as, "Rich, not too sweet, creamy, and full of flavor. This is a vanilla custard with a light hint of fruit - a custard like none before it." It truly is wonderful. So, I set out to make a custard with just a hint of fruit. I wanted that hint of fruit to be pear . . . FA Pear. I used LB VIC because Blondie reminds me of a crème anglaise or the base of vanilla ice cream before it is frozen. The custard base is made up of FA Custard Premium and FLV Vanilla Pudding. I added FW Tres Leches because I love the creaminess of it . . . also a key ingredient in Botboy141's Just Cust. CAP Cake Batter just adds to the overall richness of the recipe. AP is added for just a bit of that grit . . . to sharpen those smooth edges. Finally, DIYFS Holy Vanilla . . . because Holy Vanilla!
This Gold Ounce is not trying to be a clone of Blondie . . . it is an homage . . . an ode. This is, like, version 100 (a bit hyperbolic but with a grain of truth) of my attempt to find my vanilla custard . . . my custard . . . just one in a vast sea of custards. My quest to rival Ahab's . . . I'm shouting, "Look ye! d'ye see this Spanish ounce of gold? - holding up a broad bright coin to the sun - it is a sixteen dollar piece, men. D'ye see it? Mr. Starbuck, hand me yon top-maul." I'm leaving this here for now and nailing it to the mast.
