Vanilla Custard Recipes

[Perpetua]

I use a VG nic base & VG diluted with vodka Greigster . . . it's really only the flavouring that has any PG content for me.

Personally I like the underlying sweetness VG has over PG and the increased vapour.

A couple of drops of sweetner will be absolutely fine in that mix . . . the main thing is leave it to steep, the flavours really come into their own after a couple of weeks.

Have I made a mistake Alvo?.....I just assumed that 60 drops equalled 3ml

[Perpetua]

That's nearer 2ml . . . just right Greigster.

[Greigster]

Will I need to adjust and add some more VG or will 3ml capella VC be ok?

[Perpetua]

60 drops is nearer 2ml Greigster, then you've your French Vanilla/Sweetner to go in, I'd leave it at that, until it's had a weeks steeping . . . you can always add more VG if you think it needs it.

I don't think you will though . . .

I think he's measured 3ml rather than counted drops perps, unless I'm misunderstanding.

Is that right greigster? Have you measured 3ml of CVC? Or have you dropped 60 drops?

[Perpetua]

Ah right . . . I'm with you Alvo.

If that is the case then Greigster, I'd be inclined to leave that mix as it is, unless you want to muck about adjusting ratio's for your nic base/dilutent.

Too much flavouring and you run the risk of having a ' cheesy ' brew.

It would be better to mix all the concentrates together anyway, so they develop and infuse at the same time.

Yes I did measure out 3ml of flavour, thinking 20 drops = 1ml.
When I looked at the recipe for 10ml, i assumed that the base liquid being 6.5ml., the rest had to add up to 3.5ml.

Perpy, if you think I have too much flavour, I could easily just add 50% more of the other ingredients which should total 15ml of finished PVC and give me the correct favour ratio.
I would rather do that than have a "cheesy brew", which sounds disgusting.

[Perpetua]

That was my fault in all honesty Greigster, for which I apologise, I noted that I worked on 30 drops per ml on the Recipe Collection Thread, but omitted to do so on this thread, in my VC excitement. :-[

I'd leave it as it is for now and see what you think, I sent a sample to Brian of nothing but Capella VC mixed at a higher concentration than in the ' blend ' . . . he thought it was lovely and asked for the recipe!

It would give you a comparison between the two mixes as well.

Damn, by mistake I seem to have ordered TPA Vanilla deluxe from ECigwizard and Capella Vanilla Custard from frogster. Curses!

[Perpetua]

What a bummer Firin.
