Grant's Vanilla Custard

[Firestorm]

I'm not a big fan of dulce de leche and I don't taste it in GVC. Nonetheless, I mixed up a batch as described in the OP with dulce de leche, and it doesn't taste like GVC (I taste the dulce de leche which I do not like). I recently mixed up a batch of straight VC and I'm waiting for it to steep.

I use 10%. Cap Vanilla custard
5% Cap French Vanilla
2% EM
let it steep for at least a week.

Not a fan of VC and DDL. Even DDL at a low % isn't great. Right now I'm digging :

15% VC
3% buttercream (diyfs)
5% sweetener
2% bourbon vanilla
2% egg nog (cap)

Strawberry custard:

10% VC
2.5% cap straw and cream
2.5% cap sweet straw
3% bav cream
2% butter
3% sweet
2% smooth

so I mixed up some vc @ 12% EM 1% and cap Simply vanilla 1% 2 drops of cap sweetner.

Its ok. Not my favorite flavor. But its growing on me. esp when I mix it with my wyatt derp diy.

Looks like its getting that grants color...

What's cap simply vanilla? I though I owned every cap flavor?!

I've had pretty good luck with the original recipe from the Op, but I add just a touch of Cap's Sweet Strawberry to it, comes out quite good.

Bryan, I think its new, I also got mango, and sweet tangerine, oh and super sweet which I really like.

Cap snuck one by me... I have have vanilla by every company at this point I think. Best is still cap VC with hanseng a distant second.

I love Capella's stuff ... their VC and Sweet Strawberry are just ... perfect. The only one I've tried so far that I'm not crazy about is their Cherry Cola. I'm still digging the TFA more.

sweet straw is my favorite strawberry.

I do not like the orange creamsicle however.

Now that sounds interesting aging it in an oak barrel please do tell how that turns out. I am always looking for ways to enhance the mixing process.

I pulled my VC out of the oak barrel today I had to strain it through 500 SS mesh to get the barrel char out of it there wasn't a lot but there were some floaties. it's been in there since 11-2 it has a slight hint of oak and the flavor has mellowed. I put another 500 ml of VC in the barrel and I'll try to let it sit longer this time. I think my caramel tobacco would benefit from a oak barrel aging too I'm going buy another one.

nice, kabonk. Did you post a link to those barrels somewhere? I remember seeing it. lol

I wonder if the uncharred oak would be better.

I got it here 1 Liter Oak Barrel with Black Steel Hoops
they have untoasted vinegar barrels but the smallest the have is 2 LT

Put in an RTS order on Black Friday to begin my DIY experience. I focused in on two recipes I wanted to make - this and a Kentucky (Vermillion River) clone. Also ordered a few random flavors I thought would be fun for playing with. Excited to mix up my first batches of juice!

2 drops of acv per 10ml seems to work well with this recipe.
Give it a shot.

Thanks for trying that for us. I may try a bigger batch again. i vape through this so fast it would save on mixing.

That is great, let us know what you think of it.

I mixed my first batch this morning and just loaded it up. I did 12% cap VC and 2% TFA Dulce in a 60/40 mix (I saw a lot of people liking 15 and others liking 7.5%, so I split the difference and rounded up a little). So far I am underwhelmed. I'm not a flavor ....., but this just seems light to my buds. Just not a lot there. From reading this thread, I gather that most people have pretty good immediate results with this. Think I should bump up the VC to 15%, or should I give it a few days and see if anything emerges?

 

[kabonk]

I mix this one high 18% cap VC I think the reason is I had a bottle of grants and 15% cap VC didn't really taste like GVC so I bumped the VC flavor and that seemed to me like it was getting closer and that when I decided to add a little vanilla tahitian it may not be grants but to me it's pretty darn close

I have that recipe tucked away. Haven't tried it yet. Been busy with other recipes. Looks good though.
