I guess once you have settled on a liquid you like, that becomes pretty easy with staggering your mixing. Hard when just starting out! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Might have to get a months supply of something else in for the time being. Really hoping it's something I like vaping so I can just start producing. I love a bit of custard though so fingers crossed lol

I guess once you have settled on a liquid you like, that becomes pretty easy with staggering your mixing. Hard when just starting out! It does, once you get into a mixing routine, particularly for flavours like Custard that are so much nicer given a good steeping. But agreed, easier said than done when you're just getting your mix on. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've tried a few ready made custards recently, just out of curiousity and the 2 I've enjoyed the most have been: Vaping Kings Custard Creams - www.vapingking.co.uk/custard-creamsChefs ABC which I thought was lovely - www.chefsvapour.co.uk/ABC/p1901058_9716057.aspxAlthough I also gave both 4-6weeks before I tried them.

Hey Guys, I'm looking to get into mixing again after having a first failed go at it about a year ago... Ive been around the block and have vaped many many things but never really found anything I enjoyed quite as much as GVC. I have ordered this... www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/gold%20diy%20mixing%20kitwith: CAP vanilla custard CAP french vanilla 10ml Ethyl Maltol I am hoping i can get a half decent VC flavour by going on their 'PVC' recipe: Perpetua’s Vanilla Custard (PVC) To make (aprox) 10ml:- Add 2.0ml of Capella Vanilla Custard, 0.5ml of French Vanilla, 2 drops of sweetener, to 7.5ml of your preferred VG/PG/Nic mix. I am hoping that the result is ok with the stuff I have already ordered... My question is that do you think that those ingredients and that recipe will produce a decent liquid? Or should I just bite the bullet and use some other ingredients and save the nic for a better quality mix? I have about a months supply of ready made ejuice so I'm itching to get a first batch done and get it on the steep! Many Thanks Tom

Hi Tom, you should get an ok Custard with that, but I would look at getting something like Perfumers Apprentice Sweetener instead of Ethyl Maltol. I find EM to be good if you want to get a candy type sweetness, but not really interchangeable with TPAs Someone posted a GVC clone recipe a while ago, can't for the life of me remember who, but I saved the recipe, it is... CAP Vanilla Custard 15% Dulce de Leche 2% French Vanilla Deluxe 2% I've made a bottle, but it's still steeping, so can't comment as yet. Although I've never tried GVC either. If and when you are going to order any more concentrates, I would recommend the Custardy Lovechild recipe, it's beautiful ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)

Thanks lairey, much appreciated. Now ordered vanillin powder from leisureliquids & ordered TPA french vanilla deluxe & TPA sweetener from liberty. May as well start with the CLC. Now to find out how to mix this vanillin powder with some pg - reading forum time! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Edit: I just wanted to add that I emailed Kev last night and he has agreed to swap the CAP french vanilla for a CAP chocolate fudge brownie - you cannot beat getting great service from a tried and trusted vendor! THANKS Frogster (The Alchemist)

I couldn't hold out a minute longer. I've tried just enough to cover the wicks...oh wow. This is going to be gorgeous when properly steeped. I'm off to make shedloads more now.. ![*cheer*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/jr0EmJgDeO7__MAi4uuR.gif)

Has anyone found that the Capella VC is just not the same as it used to be?
I know that we get accustomed to it and lose the " taste" if vaping constantly, but I have always ordered what I considered the "original Capella VC not the V2 and it just does not seem the same.
When I make an effort to put VC to one side for a few days and vape something else, it is lovely when I go back to it, but not as good as I remember it.
IS IT JUST ME?

Can't say I've noticed gillas . . . but I do regularly have a good few weeks break from just a plain VC mix, as it helps to keep the taste ' fresh ' for me anyway. Perhaps there's also an element of the memory playing a small trick? The first VC I ever mixed ( TPA's ) 3+ years ago now, nothing else added - I thought was the most lush thing ever! I doubt I'd think that now no matter how enjoyable, my taste buds have been spoilt by the custardy choices we've got. That's my thinking anyhow. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

No you and me are the same since they have changed to version 2 it ain't the same, they did away with an additive that supposedly causes popcorn lung.

No you and me are the same since they have changed to version 2 it ain't the same, they did away with an additive that supposedly causes popcorn lung. gillas is using the V1 though watsy . . . . still readily available and used by the vast majority of vapers who enjoy a custard and other dessert vapes. V2 was never going to taste like the original flavouring without Acetoin (not a Diketone) & Acetylpropionyl as they give many flavours a creamy taste and it's long term prolonged exposure to Diacetyl that causes Popcorn Lung. So if you want to improve your Custard vape, go back to the original. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl are present in minute quantities in these flavours, diluted to even more miniscule concentrations when mixed, personally I have no issues using them.
