Additives to a bland T-Juice mix

[cHooBeyDoo]

I mixed some T-Juice Colonel Custard (10ml 70PG/30VG @ 20%) 3 weeks ago, after 1 week I thought I would give it a try and although the flavour was there and quite bland, it had quite a strong perfume taste and was also slightly peppery, guessed it needed longer to steep so left it.
I decided to give it a try today (3 week mark) as it smells quite nice and has turned a nice dark orange and although the perfume and pepper taste has now gone the flavour is still quite bland compared to their ready mixed juice. I like quite strong flavours and found the ready mixed quite flavoursome so thought 20% would of been enough as they recommend 15% on their website.

I have some TPA Sweetener and TPA Vanillin, so if I added 1-2% of each to the mix would it enhance the flavour?
Or would I need to add more % of concentrate for the better flavour?

As I mixed up a couple of 10ml bottles yesterday (1 @ 20% and 1 @ 25%) I was thinking about adding 1% of each to the mixes, which i will be doing anyway (experimentation and all that), but just thought about asking for an opinion.

Forgot to say, I washed the coil and vaping it on Vision Spinner 2 with Mini Protank 3, turned up voltage to 4.8v (max), have a little more flavour but i'll wait a little longer for coil to bed in again.

Yes, colonel custard is quite bland even at 20%.

Sweetner, Vanillin, any vanilla, dulche de leche, any of those would be fine to add to it, or a mix of a couple of them.
It may also get a little better by next week ( 4 weeks )

Thanks sammy13 good to know.

I'd add another 5% of the Tjuice flavouring and 2% Vanillin to make it more creamy, though I'd leave the sweetener for now cHooBeyDoo, you could always add that at a later stage if you think it needs it in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks Perpetua much appreciated

I mixed some @ 25% two months ago and it's still bland.

Pity, as it's my only real disappointment from T Juice concentrates. [although, now thinking about it, I wasn't happy with "High Voltage" but that's probably just me.]

Have either of you gents got some Capella or TPA's Vanilla Custard?

You could always use some of those to perk the CC up . . . must admit although tempted, I didn't try it.

Capella/TPA's versions are both a hard Custardy act to follow I reckon.

I have both Capella and TPA VC

Loving that idea Perpetua , going to try that for sure

I will wait a little while for these mixes to steep first, I put a little of the vanillin in each of them last night - 0.1ml in the 20% mix and 0.2ml in the 25% mix and have quite a few different bought custards steeping, as well as some others I made myself. My cupboard is now called Custard Corner

BTW The best custard i've tried so far is Captain Custard by SteamGunk........ MMMMMMMMMM. I highly recommend it

It came to me after reading prowler's post cHooBeyDoo - an if all else fails plan.

The only other Custards I've tried have been Grant's ( someone sent me a sample ) and Mrs B's ( won in a raffle ) . . . totally loved up with the Custardy LoveChild recipe, so I've not explored further. Plus I've turned into a right miser now when it comes to buying premium ready made, just can't bring myself to fork out for them.

Has anyone tried Tangerine Dream by T-Juice? Did it smell odd? perfumey? I am hoping once it is steeped the smell will vanish

Got 40 ml of this wonder (yet to be tasted) steeping in custard corner, the first 10 ml bottle I mixed is looking nice and orange and is 3 weeks old atm (as is the 10ml of PVC and various others, mixed at the same time) saving them for my Nautilus and Vamo when it eventually arrives.
I had to whip up the other 30ml of Custardy Lovechild a few days ago as the first one smells so damn good!

Not tried it myself but my Colonel Custard tasted perfumey after 1 week and 2 weeks later the perfume taste has gone, would say yours maybe needs steeping a bit longer.
I have 30ml of vanilla custard I bought over 4 weeks ago from cloudhousevapour, it still smells perfumey. I might just put it away and forget about it for a while.
