Almost ready to mix Custard for the first time

[joojitsoo]

Hi guys,

So my name is Jon and I'm a Custardoholic  icon_shoppingm

I dont care that I am addicted to this creamy custardly liquid of Satan in fact I am fully embracing it by starting to mix my own, i just wanted to make this thread in the hope that you could just run your eyes over what i have bought just to make sure i have bought all i need and that its the right ingredients ........

So i have 

250 ml PG
250 ml VG
Nicotine 72mg/100ml PG (not yet arrived) everythingliquid.co.uk
Cappela Vannila Custard justvape247
French Vannila Deluxe justvape247
Sweetner (super sweet,capella) justvape247 (thinking i shouldnt have got super sweet)
10g bag of Vanillin powder
Assortment of syringes, needles, tubs, gloves ect ect

So does that look about right to make pretty much any custard recipe found here on this site ? 

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Have you got your empty bottles to put it in?

Yep got lots of them

[sleedale]

And a huge stock of bought custard to vape while waiting for ever for your luscious home made variety to steep

It's doing my head in this waiting.........

[joojitsoo]

Yeah that bit is going to really do my head in, I'm really not a patient person .... pretty much guaranteed ill be vaping it before its ready

Looks about right to me &joojitsoo. As sleedale said, any custard juice will need an absolute minimum of 4-6 weeks steeping time, so plenty of patience is essential.

Mr Lairey, who was until last week, an exclusively tobacco vaper, has decided he now likes custard juice, so I'm going to have to step up my mixing as I only have 200ml steeping!

Cheers for taking a look lairey i know you are the custard Queen round these parts :-) will that super sweet sweetner be ok ? 

Its going to be tough holding out for 4 weeks but i will try, need to order some Digbys Mums Custard in to tide me over, wife wont be happy because ive spent about £120 this last 3 days on vaping lol, went into my local vape shop yesterday just to get an emergency 30ml of Colonel Custard (needs must) ended up spending £86, least i have a new SVD and a nautlis mini though 

Do any of the quick steeping methods work do you think ? like microwave or on a radiator .....even heard of strapping a bottle to a car wheel and driving all day, being a trucker i would do it if it worked 

Cheers for all replies

Yes joojitsoo - it's Capella's version of a Sucralose based sweetener:

No.

[tomvaper]

You might want to add a bottle of dulce de leche to your list for added creaminess

Cheers mate, havent spotted that in the recipes ive looked at, checking it out :-)

[lairey]

joojitsoo, I agree with Perpetua, none of the "fast steeping" methods are worth anything. I trialed a milk frother on a mix that I made side by side with a non-frothed mix and it made no difference at all.

As for DDL, I don't use it in any of my Custards, but to be fair, these days I don't tend to mix any custards other than Custardy Lovechild. Vanillin, once you have dissolved some in PG, will add a nice amount of creaminess to a mix.

That being said, DDL has it's place... just start with a low % as too much will end up tasting a bit like sugar infused cardboard

[tomvaper]

Just 2% ddl for me not tried vanillin lairey,might give it a whirl.

[Perpetua]

It's certainly worth a whirl tomvaper, whereas DDL has a flavour as well as being creamy . . . Vanillin just adds an extra creaminess, I don't find it especially sweet.

Difficult to explain, don't know that I've achieved that.


Anyhow, if you wanted to try it, LT have it in ready form:

Or a bag of Vanillin Crystals/Powder that will last forever on Amazon:

Cheers for that Perp
