hello
i am a vaper from germany comming to you guys since this board seems to have the most custard fans ive found packed in one place.
excuse any bad engrish
i have a custardy problem:
my DIY custard tastes BAD. like : groce, not vapeable, yuk.
its a litte hard to discribe. on the inhale it tastes very chemical, almost like licking a rubber glove.
exhale is okish, aftertaste is vanilla if i can taste it after still shaking from the bad inhale taste.
background:
i vape since 1 year, not a single analog smoke since (from 2 packs a day). got VERY sensitive taste buds and also nose, meanwhile both back in action after the analog smoke mute went away. i vape RBAs, preffered all day atomizer is taifun gt2. doing 1.6-1.8ohm microcoils @ 12w.
i do mix my own juice since almost day 1 of vaping. meanwhile pretty seasoned with everything regarding rebuilding and mixing.
custard blends:
1) 8% CA VC, 7% CA French Vanilla, 1% TPA Dulce de Leeche, 1 drop EM per 10ml
2) 18% CA VC, 6% TPA French Vanilla, 2% TPA Dulce de Leeche, 1 drop EM per 10ml
2) 16% CA VC, 10% CA French Vanilla, 2 drops Em per 10ml
all on 50/50 base with 6mg nic. i mix my own base, so its real 50/50 6mg taken the nic-less pg in the flavours into account.
the french vanilla is not the "deluxe" version, i cant seem to be able to get that anywhere in germany.
i got both TPA and CA FV.
steeping:
1&2 have been steeping 6 and 4 weeks now, cap off for 3-4 weeks, violent shake every 12 hours, no direct sunlight. i keep good care of my juices, im a lover
both have that redish amber color we custard fans lub so much. all blends smell awesome. blend 3 is 2 days old now. i made blend 3 to see if its the DDL thats putting me off but i just tried in a dripper, and it also has the rubber glove taste. i know blend 3 is far from beeing rdy yet.
more background:
i have no rubberglove taste when vaping grants VC. i realize i wont be able to clone it 1:1 since i have no clue how he gets that sweet&spicey taste into it (personally i taste no ammount of DDL in grants btw). id be happy with a 80-90% clone to be honest. or a any DIY custard vape at all.
since i vape 12-15ml of 6mg per day, restocking on grants is MUCH to expensive. ive just ordered another 100ml this friday, 48.78pounds with shipping to germany ... thats almost 70 euros nearing analog smoking price level. thats a nono in the long run.
questions:
so whats going on here ? is it the CA VC i have a problem with ? no rubber glove on grants VC, so maybe its a different flavour brand ?
does anyone else have simmilar problems ?
something is very odd here. i cant believe so many vapers DIG CAVC and i can hardly inhale it. maybe the stuff we get here in germany is wrong ?
im thankful for any help i can get, you guys are my last hope.
