Hi

My name is Mark and I'm a mixaholic.

I knew you'd post a photo that would reassure me completely that I wasn't being remotely excessive in the Steepage Stakes Mark.

About a litre of assorted custards. Some that work at 0.2 ohms, some that burn at 2 ohms.

That's going some b1mble.

Been building it for a while. What I vape is custard. Some of them take longer than others to mature.

Any favourite Custard recipes b1mble?

Still playing around. For a sweetish custardy flavour that needs no steeping try 20% vanilla 5-8% CCW cream. I find it a little on the sweet side. But since it needs no steeping it can be made when you run out. If you let it steep apparently the flavour gets stronger so you can use less flavouring. i mixed up the flavourings (around 25ml) for a pal to make 100ml - he made 200ml instead. At first it was too weak but apparently after 2-3 weeks steeping it was fine. None of mine has ever lasted that long.

Most of what's steeping is variants on the Nessie's Nectar recipe and won't be ready for a while.
Capella VC - 15%
Capella French Vanilla - 5%
The Perfumers Apprentice DDL - 2%
The Perfumers Apprentice Bavarian Cream - 2%
The Perfumers Apprentice Brown Sugar - 2%
This recipe works out at a little over £11 per 100ml to make and the bottle I made at the start of July is just (IMO) ready to vape now. I'm considering whether it needs a tiny amount of sweetening, maybe 5 drops of EM per 100ml. But I think not.


Some of the alternatives involve using 36mg Hangsen VC in VG (You can get this for about £15 delivered from Bargain Vapour in Ireland) as the nicotine base. I can vape this stuff straight though I usually mix at 24mg.

I got 100ml of GVC the other day which IMO is going to take quite a while to steep - at the moment it reminds one of the Nessie's Nectar at 3 weeks old.

Did I hear grape??? Have you tastd it, what is it like, where can I buy and any recommended mixing percentage please

I have just been trying the Grape Ape that you asked about. Its nice, its kind of a refreshing flavour, a mix of grape and banana. I don't really like banana flavour, but I like this, more grape than banana I think.
Can be got from chefs vapour, its in the Mom&Pops range. I mixed it at 20% and its good right there.

as I was curious of the strong flavour on ready made joose juice liquids - I have apple and coconut steeping.

btw I like the new system of jj to have doubled the strength of the concentrates - so tonight I will make some plain menthol, for a friend, which will then steep over the weekend

Thank you hijack, I love grape and had a brief affair with bananas so will give it a shot on my next order, thanks again
