    Been hearing a lot about custards. Who makes the best vanilla custard?

    I tasted a fantastic Vanilla custard from a friend last night. It is here. The Dragon's Lair Custom Mixes - Sleeping Dragon Vapor Rather than the vanilla being very dominate, as it is in most VC I've tried, this one actually tastes like custard! I've been DIYing for two years now but this was so...

    PLEASE: Get the Kraken Tank (Non Original)

    If you're talking about the "real" Kraken, it's a great genny but, tanks don't make vapor. The set up makes vapor. Some are easier to set up. Some provide better flavor based on air flow and top cap design. Larger air holes provide more vapor, usually at the expense of flavor. I can only assume...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    I went with 6% on the sweetener just to try it exactly as the recipe states. Got a nice big 50ml bottle of CLS just in case this doesn't work. Damn I love that stuff!

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    All my ingredients arrived today so I've got a 30ml batch steeping. I'll post the results after at least a week of steeping. If this doesn't work I guess I'll just have to buy the ready made stuff!

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    Haven't tried the new stuff yet. I'll let you know. Born on date of the new CLS is 12/8 so I want to let it steep a while longer. The VC I made is definitely tasting better since darkening.

    The Flavor Apprentice flavorings

    New to DIY and using 100mg nic? Not wise my friend. I've been DIYing for two tears and still only buy 48mg nic just for safety's sake. Please be careful and make sure you fully understand the math involved before using it.

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    This is interesting. Here is a new bottle of CLS compared to an old one that was made two months ago. Talk about steeping!

    Hey Tampa Bay Area!! Where's your favorite B&M??

    [Moderated] Great store and a really nice owner. As a side benefit, they actually know what they're talking about.

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    Well, well, weel. After just a couple of days in plastic bottles, my VC is darkening up! Who'd a thunk it! I'll vape some later tonight and see if the flavor improved.

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    I'm close to giving up on making a good Vanilla Custard. I've tried dozens of recipes and steeped them for up to 5 weeks but nothing tastes like the better "store bought" brands I've tried. I just ordered the flavors for this recipe that I was missing so I'll give it one more try! I've got over...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    I'm a bit confused on this. you said you followed the recipe exactly but I see 3.5% of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in yours. Forgive me if I'm mis-quoting you here as my head is still spinning reading all these threads!

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    Well I put some into a plastic bottle to see what happens. Kind of makes you wonder why plastic has this affect, doesn't it?

    Kayfun, getting juice from mouthpiece

    Sounds like the small o-ring that seals the top of the chimney is either damaged or not set in place properly.

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    Thanks for all the advice folks. Below is a picture of the "proper" VC color mixed at 12%. I am unable to duplicate this color. Perhaps it's because I store my juice in amber glass bottles???

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    I've tried it many times. It tastes ok but not nearly as good as say Custards Last Stand or Grants. Those juices are a much darker color yet are supposedly made with essentially the same ingredients as I'm using. I've been told by several people that there should be a definite color change when...

    Vanilla Custard Help please!

    So I'm trying to make a decent vanilla Custard My research led me to use 18% Capella's Vanilla Custard, 1.5% Dulce de Leche and 1.5% EM. Problem is this. I know that Custard e-juices require a long steep time and are supposed to turn from a light yellow color to a deep amber when ready to vape...

    Been hearing a lot about custards. Who makes the best vanilla custard?

    ....... or you could just whip some up yourself. I won't give up the "secret" recipe here but I will tell you this. It must steep for at least three weeks. Most people that try to make a good VC are disappointed because it just doesn't taste right at first. After about 3 weeks it will start to...

    Hey Tampa Bay Area!! Where's your favorite B&M??

    Unfortunately, all these vape stores sell only Chinese hardware. Seems that out west in California and Nevada, stores sell high end devices along with the beginner stuff. While the market for high end stuff is admittedly small, maybe 3-5%, it's still an untapped market in our local B&M's.

    High-End Mechanicals Chat, Tips, and Pics

    Here you go. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dUa4ne97hu31EyyBav84dRWG_lLIvt1n_kL092SHdJE/edit If you're using a mech I'd use 26gx9 wraps on 7'64" bit which will give you about 0.9 - 1.1Ω. If using a VV or VW I'd go with 28g same config for about 1.5-1.7Ω.

    Mech Mod Help

    Look at my signature. You will find an answer there. There are plenty of reasons to spend hundreds on a quality mod. Find a cheap mech that has the innovation of the adjusting button on a Nemesis, or the incredible touch throw of a GP Paps 2.5. Find one that looks as great as a Caravela...
