I want to make a custard

[thebishman]

Thanks mandy.

Being the custard nut that i am...i have already tried both of those. Both very nice!!

That recipe looks interesting. God theres so many to choose from!

[chykensa]

My ADV recipe is 15% Capella VC, 4% Capella French vanilla and 1% sweetener - I tend to use TFA Marshmallow as I have loads and it only takes a few drops

No need to steep. Empty contents, gently warm and then enjoy.

You're welcome Neil.

PS did you buy the yoghurt maker I suggested?

[thebishman]

They were out of stock dom. But i bet you knew that

Can recommend the Lovechild, I've been running it over some claptons for the last couple of days.
I also diluted the flavour levels for a friend, she said there was a bit too much flavour for all day, so I added 50% VG to it and brought it up to 65%
Not so keen on GVC if the clone is anything to go by

This was my original recipe SteveF, doesn't seem much like one now with all the flavours we have at our disposal currently . . . . 3years+ ago, it was lol. If I were to make it again with the lighter touch I'd just add 1% Vanillin to the ingredients.

Nice simple mix, why should a good VC be any more complicated?
Its not far off the watered down Lovechild that Holly likes,  I'll definitely mix up 30ml to add to the collection. I do like the higher levels of VC but it does stick to the tongue.
Also I really don't like Dulce de Leche which whilst it does give another depth to the flavour, it also knocks a few of the recipes straight out of contention. Have tried a few tweaks graham cracker, frosted doughnut, churro, horchata, cinnamon danish, brown sugar but none have hit the spot yet. I have some three week old 14%VC with sugar cookie and vanilla bean ice cream steeping so you never know.
Still there is  600ml of kreeds in the drawer, I don't think thats going to be knocked off the ADV spot yet.

I had been using "Perpetua`s Vanilla Custard" as my all day vape for nearly 3 years but for the last year or so, I have moved on to "Custardy Lovechild", both of which are far superior to GVC.
They both only get to their best after 8 weeks steeping, in my opinion.

I was tempted to mix some of "Kreeds Kustard" (only 10ml. to try it) which had been steeping for only one week, so cant wait until the 4 weeks are up. At the 4 week stage, I will try it and if I like it, I will make up a larger batch cos the next day I am off to India for 4 weeks and it will be ready to go when I get back.

Others will disagree, but to me the clone tastes absolutely nothing like gvc (if it did I would have saved an absolute fortune by now !!)

I've come to the conclusion that ddl in a custard mix isn't for me (and if it's actually in real gvc then I honestly can't taste it).

The combinations of custard ingrediants are endless - but Cap VC plus some sort of french vanilla/vanilla swirl/Vanillin plus then try adding in other things you think may help like graham cracker, different creams etc...Or not, there's a lot to be said for keeping it simple

(note to self - TAKE OWN ADVICE and stop obsessing over custard!!)

Best custard tip you will ever receive thebishman and that is to pretend Capella's v2 doesn't even exist. V1 beats it hands down.

Without question jtc.  V2 is like the really poor low fat, low sugar, low taste version, it really is pants in comparison
