If you go to the ELR recipe site, search “custard” and sort by high star rating, you should be able to find some well documented and commented upon custard recipes.
But for starters, take the recipe below and cut the Strawberry altogether, bump up the Cap VC V1 to 8% and you’ll have a darn good custard vape.
A touch of eggnog is a good idea for that nutmeg factor. My grannys custard was topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg. My ADV custard doesnt have any eggnog because i will crave eggnog even more than i do now and it is seasonal. I tried in the beginning but i just couldnt handle it.
Both vanillas have been replaced by 2 drops/10ml Vanilla (MF). One month curing time.
May want to drop the custard down or expect to rewick every couple days, when i make this to sell i use 5% VC V1. I have been vaping this daily for almost two years. Now that we are talking about nutmeg ill have to grab some.
Man you guys are awesome. I have so much custard and I haven’t made anything good yet, steeping as always so these will get made tomorrow. Any chance you guys have made them with FA, CAP, and TFA? Trying to get one similar and make it across all 3 and see what one I like better custard wise.???
Cap V1 is the only custard that i use. TFA’s isnt bad, FA is more like a European custard, hints of lemon, whereas CAP is more like a vanilla pudding style custard. I just prefer the nilla pudding type custard.
TFA is def good… Haven’t mixed with others but have had a handful of store bought ‘premium’ custard blends… And I can def see TFA as being a part of the good ones… I do have cap on the way since it was suggested by kustard Ken above! Actually should be here any day but with all the increase of packages for the holidays, imagined I’tll be longer then normal
There’s a lot I want to buy from FLV and MF just don’t know how standout they are. I like my flavors very strong, in e juice. I have’t found a whole lot of flavors I wont live without except INW Shisha Strawberry so far. I do want more variety than the TFA,CAP,TFA, that I currently have. Ned sweet flavors too, my taste is very dull so it has to be POW in your face.
LOL … i recently learned about the flavor stash in the web tools that this site offers and I have been using this site for over a year. (Shhhh … don’t tell anyone though. That is kind of embarrassing) …
Dang and my FLV stuff wont be here for a few days, depending on how long USPS decided to take. Interesting at the amount of FLV vs FA. The shisha is also something I’m interested in as their strawberry is my favorite strawberry by far.
I’m still cornfused. I don’t know the difference. I just have Vanilla. @DarthVapor just made a post about it muting flavors over time. So I will just stick with what I have.
Vanillin isn’t really a “vanilla”. It is used in a lot of foods to add a vanilla flavor but it isn’t a vanilla extract nor does it compare to, say, a french vanilla. It is a synthetic vanilla of sorts, to save $
It’s a fragrant compound that is the essential constituent of vanilla. Vanillin is a vanilla extract alternative made from wood pulp. It is commonly used to reduce production costs. And, unlike real vanilla extract which is produced from real vanilla beans, vanillin is synthetic and may be produced using petrochemicals and byproducts from the paper industry. Unfortunately, because it’s cheap, the stuff is everywhere. Vanilla flavored over-the-counter medicines, beverages, and cookies are all places you’re likely to find vanillin.
I typically use it for the interesting things it does to fruits, specifically pomegranate and orange/citrus. It has a faint vanilla smell but I wouldn’t personally use it in my juice for a substitute for a vanilla.
There has also been a lot of scares in the past decades that it is harmful, much like any “fake” additives the world pumps into our food but I think that has been debunked now…
