I am ordering some more Vanilla Custard. I try to stay away from flavors with all the warnings on them. Is there a difference in V1 and V2 that will affect certain recipes? Do you have to alter the percentages if using one or the other?
Thanks!
Iāve only used FW VC but looking at the numbers from this site people are averaging 1% lower with Capella Vanilla Custard V2 than with V1. It does use a different flavor molecule (most likely extremely diluted butyric acid if Iām not mistaken) so the flavor profile is different. Digging thru the ratings, some people prefer it, some people think itās horrible, and some love them both. Thatās probably not very helpful, sorry!

To me the difference with v1 and v2 is quite big. I can immediately taste if v2 was used. It has a certain ā¦qualityā¦ as @quitter1 mentions ;D

Yeah, thereās a huge difference to me. I only used the v2 once, and that was enough. Although, now that Iām a little more experienced, I might revisit it. I tend to shy away from butyric acid (companiesā no-diketone āalternativeā) more than acetoin or acetyl propionyl. I live dangerously though. 
Best way to find out is just to try them both and see which one you prefer.

So JoJo, you donāt bother changing recipes with flavors that contain acetyl or acetoin in them? I read up on it and decided to stay away from them as much as I could. But I do have juices and flavors that āmayā contain these. I just try not to vape them on a daily basis.

That is kind of how I feel about it. I just donāt vape those flavors all the time and try and use alternatives when they donāt just taste bad.

I agree completely! Itās very likely worst than the Diectyl itās trying to replace according to some. If I were in the shoes of those who blend only for themselves, I would be sucking up some Diectyl in Cap VC v1 and loving itā¦

Well thanks guys. I just mixed up a small batch of Unicorn Milk and noticed I ordered V2 by mistake. I didnāt even notice there was a V2 until after I had it mixed up and was putting the bottle back in the rack. Thatās when I saw the V2 on the bottle. So I am hoping it comes out OK.

Iām a bit suspicious of that statement, particularly in the concentrations weāre talking about. The MSDA toxic level for BA is 2000mg/kg. So yeah, itād be bad if you vaped a vial of concentrated butyric acid, but it would be bad to vape the majority of our ejuice additives in near pure concentrations.
As for the vomit comparison, while it is a nasty rancid scent on its own in high concentration, so many other flavor molecules. I wonder if there isnāt some expectation bias there?

If so itās bias from other sources, not my own. Truth be told I do not buy either Cap VC v1 or v2. Not because I fear diectyl or butyric acid but because I blend for a shop. As I said if I blended for myself I would choose v1. Again BA according to some think it is worst than diectyl. Wish I could point to the articles I was reading but months ago now. Could be something to it though. TFA seems to be reformulating and getting rid of BA. My actual decision is based on the fact that I donāt feel as big a need to avoid Diectyl as others do and feel cap original VC v1 is the better tasting. I avoid either chemical in shop juice because of public sentimentā¦

There was some talk about butyric acid being bad if used along with diketonesā¦

Thatās weird, Iād previously heard the opposite, but now all I can find are references to this study.
We need some dang studies for vaping tho, everything out there (including this study) is referring to popcorn manufacture.

If it tastes good Iāll vape it. Iām steering clear of cigarettes dammit, aināt that enough? 
Actually, I quite enjoy all the flavors Iāve been told contain this or that which is bad for you. Over on that other POS forum it had become quite the stinger. You know how when you smoked youād get those looks and jeers in certain situations? Same thing over there with diketones. You canāt even bring up the word butter or custard without someone going into a bitch fit over Diacetyl or some crap. Whatever. Iām vaping what I like until Iām dead or on a breathing machine.
As for Capellaās VC, I canāt remember who but someone told me recently that what CAP is calling Vanilla Custard on the site now is not the original. Can anyone confirm that? I used to have a good amount of it but, well, I vaped it all. If they no longer sell it on their website where can I get it and is it in limited supply now? Questions, questions.

You mean a Vaping Machineā¦lol. Seriously, agreed. Being cigarettes contain Diectyl then I had used diacetyl for over 47 years. Whatās a few more yearsā¦

More than in vapor, by at least one or two orders of magnitude. And there isnāt conclusive evidence the diacetyl in vapor is even something to worry about. The infamous popcorn workers were dealing with concentrated powdered flavorings.
As long as a person knows what theyāre doing and are willing to assume any risks, everyone else can piss right off. Your body, your decision, IMO. The key is to make sure that we donāt play down the potential risk just because it makes us happy. Iād like folks to know as much as possible before they decide. Especially if Iām gonna run around telling everyone how great it would be for them to switch from cigs to vapes.

Geez. You guys rock. Thanks for clearing that up. @ringling I didnāt really think about it that way. Hell yeah, I smoked for 25 years. If smoking didnāt kill me - vaping sure the hell wonāt lol. I was just thinking last night itās probably Phillip Morris stirring up all these discussions anyway about the harmul shit in vape juice.
But back to the V2 - I just vaped some Cream e Clouds Monkey Cream. Based on just reading a shit ton of reviews about flavors, it seems to me it must be made with Lorann Oils Banana Cream and this Vanilla Custard V2. Because it tastes like a Banana Runt and vomit. Seriously. Anybody here tried it?

@SthrnMixer, I was saying ditto to your whole post and kinda poking a bit of fun at the āhorrorsā of Diacetylā¦ There will always be a fresh group of folks that fear the Diacetyl, Diketones and any other D words thought and taught to be bad when associated with vaping.
I told myself at one point, I would never comment on a āDā thread again (tired of reading and hearing about it)ā¦but guess I canāt help myself!
