Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Well just had dinner, going to watch a couple of vids then have a go at mixing up my first batch of DIY!

Have you a mixing calculator sorted? Or, if you need anything checked just give us a shout

Hello and welcome to AAEC.

[werticle]

Yeah I've had a look at a couple. I'm just doing colonel custard concentrate to start. Pretty easy. Going to mix 150ml total: 12.5ml nic 72mg vg, 107.5ml 50/50 pg/vg n 30ml concentrate, so going 20% of concentrate. By my reckoning this should be 6% nic or thereabouts. Starting out simple with pre-mix concentrate before I consider embarking on alchemy! This sound about right to u? Cheers

werticle for 150 ml at 50 / 50 @6mg with 20% concentrate

nic 12.5 ml (vg)
vg 62.5
pg 45
concentrate 30ml

Yup, that sounds right assuming that you mean 6mg/ml strength not 6% (=60mg/ml!).

Note that custard will require steeping after mixing to fully develop/mature.... i.e. waiting multiple weeks   before it'll be at its best.

It's pre-mixed 50/50 vg/pg. I'm aware this will give me higher vg than pg in the final mix, as the nic is in a vg base, but that'll be ideal as its a custard flavour. Cheers for the confirmation. I'm going to go n get gloved up n started!

Aye I'm prepared for the steep. Have any of you guys tried cabella vanilla custard? Is it better as one of many ingredients, in a more complex mix, or is it ok as a single concentrate mix?

Not true, in this case as your flavour counts towards PG content.
(You'll end up with a ratio around 55.8PG/44.2VG)

For future reference separate plain PG and plain VG are more versatile.

Capella Vanilla Custard is available as version 1 (original) and version 2 and is often used in mixes. kreed or Perpetua, or others may be able to advise what they are like as standalones.

AFAIK:
Version 1 is creamier, although contains some diketones; regarded by some, as undesirable to vape.
Version 2 has the diketones removed.

Capella's Vanilla Custard V1 is probably the most popular flavour concentrate on the planet werticle!

It's ok as a standalone, nothing to get terribly excited about ( although vapeable )  . . . . . it's at it's best combined with other flavours, at least one or two to bring it alive.

Have you seen our Custard recipes here:

Or if those aren't enough then there's always ELR:

That's the first batch made n steeping. I'll let u all know how it is when I try it. I think I'll try a few of the recipes on here too. Variety is the spice of life!

[werticle]

Cracked a bottle of juice as a sample after only 3 day steep n it's great! Very surprised. If it's this good after 3/7, can't wait to try in 2/52! She's very smooth, vapor rich n plenty of custard flavour!
