Hopefully this is in the right place…
I want to make a full bodied English custard, and I understand alongside a custard concentrate I should use a Bavarian cream, I’m just wondering on percentages to use.
So far I’m thinking something like this:
Custard (not decided which) 5.5%
Bavarian cream 4%
Madagascar vanilla 1%
If anyone has some good advice I would be grateful.
Many thanks in advance.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Hello @Stingray77
Here is my $0.02…
Custard (not decided which) 5.5%
Depending on which custard you choose, this number may work, or should lowered…
Bavarian cream 4%
4%BCTPA seems a bit much for my tastes pallette, but to each their own. I’d run in about 2/2.5% personally.
Madagascar vanilla 1%
1% is a prefect amount for FA Madagascar Vanilla.
Question… What kind of MOD are you running?!
Vanilla Custard Cap 3%
Vanilla Custard TPA 2%
Bavarian cream TPA 2%
Madagascar vanilla 1%
I can tell by looking at it that it is going to vape well 
. Most times just keeping it simple is the answer. Share your flavor stash and we’ll be able to help you make a few bangers. 
Good luck!
Hi there
Cheers for the reply, That sounds good, I should have mentioned I had it on the higher percentage side for MTL.
I run a load of mods usually, prefer MTL now but still use my DTL kit, just clouds and the residue you get on your stuff started to annoy me! 
I’ve been doing this for fifteen odd years but had never really tried to mix up a custard as I tend to buy bakery style bottle shots and just mix up for ease. I make a lot of tobacco styled juices though, that I tend to base on historical events, with flavours of the era and location. I will add some recipes in the coming weeks, been meaning to add them for about five years!
I prefer an english custard too, my goto custard flavours are MB legendary custard, CAP smooth custard, CAP custard cream & FLV vanilla puddin, with those plus a few accent flavours you could make a bangin english custard.
Trying to post a recipe but wouldn’t work, possibly because it’s private.
A good English style custard.
4% (mol) “legendary custard”
3% (cap) “smooth custard”
1% (nomz) “Devon cream”
1.5% (fa) “custard premium”.
@Dj35 if it’s appropriate, you can click the blue wrench, and choose Share URL Privately, and then at the bottom of your recipe their will be a new copy/paste URL …
Thank you. I thought there was a way to do it but wasn’t sure how.
This has been working for me -
Its still undergoing tweaks but its really damn good. (This is if you cant get legendary custard)
If you do have access to legendary custard, you can lower both the smooth + custard creams to 2% & add in 3.5% legendary custard.
If you are wanting that Birds instant custard type taste IMO the closest custard to it is the inawera, it’s an age old mix a good custard & there are a thousand ways to get there, in varying degrees of what kind of a custard you want to create, goodness knows I’ve made enough of them.
I’d likely pair it with the FJ Bavarian cream, FLV vanilla bean is also a really good vanilla alternative & very authentic tasting IMO.
The FLV Vanilla pudding is a good one to use to give more of a solid mouthfeel to your custard.
Good luck I hope you create a monster ADV
Thanks for that, I’ve often wondered about Flavorah Vanilla Pudding… mostly as it seem a really expensive flavour compared to most. Odd, maybe it can be as a stand alone.
The great thing about Flavorah flavors is you only need a little to go a long way!! 1-2% is all you’re going to need. Well worth the purchase. 
I agree with D.Sims Stingray, most of the FLV flaavours are pretty strong, I thought the same about the rich cinnamon & held off buying it for a long time, but so pleased I caved in & bought it as it the best I’ve tried by a long way & so potent I have to make up a 10% dilution, so 10ml will last years, the vanilla pudding is expensive but not half as expensive as the rich cinnamon or a couple of the others, but their pricing on different flavours are a bit all over the place.
Yep, I have a lot of Flavorah in my stash, as someone said their pricing is a bit varied, don’t think I have any of their really pricey ones though. I tend to have a lot of Inawera, FLA, TPA, CAP, Flavor Jungle and some more obscure ones.
Think the custard I have is CAP although I have a few other custards I think, and the Bavarian Cream is FJ from memory. I more often buy 10ml and 30ml in staples, and typically mix up 250ml after I make a few 10ml tests. With mixed results , it really is an art, I admire mixologists that have the knack of creating special mixes. God it’s hard even after years of mixing.
