I heard the same thing & ordered a bottle. Haven't mixed any yet, but it smells like eggy custard!

Isn't HV a mix of several vanillas?
Hipefully it is, i just got in the mail a bunch of flavoring from bull city, flavorahs VC was out of stock so i didnt get that, but u did get a bottle of Inaweras VC, will be mixing this up soon, anyone know the recommended %s for it? I might go and make 10 ml of every custard and every flavor that could attribute to an eggy flavor, FA meringue, egg nog, other odds and ends all at different %s and go from there, a lot of ppl claim Caps VC v1 is eggy, but i have a bottle at 15% almost 3 week steeped, and i taste no egg at all. Maybe more time, or higher or lower %, ?
The only percentage I have seen posted was Inawera VC @ 6%. I should have a bottle today in the mail. I will start at 3% and move up from there. I usually top out on inawera flavors at 5%.
I agree with you on cap VC v1. not much egg from it for me either. But I will concede that maybe I am a little flavor blind? I almost exclusively vape cap vc v1 at 10% with a few other additions.
I have mine sitting on the counter, pretty excited to try it out, yet worried its not what im looking for, so we shall see. Ill make a few small bottles of it, one at say 3%, one at 5%, so on and so forth, maybe up to 12 or 15% just to see what happens. But idk if i would say in flavor blind, maybe lately, idk, ive bought some custards from a vape shop, that had a house blend that was made by a different company on the other side of the state, mind you this was 2 years ago, that was my first experience with a rich eggy custard, i feel in love with it, and from there got into diy as i couldnt afford to go an hr and a half to get the juice from the shop, and it was like $16 for a 30ml, which isnt all bad. Recently i bought that same juice straight from the company that makes it, and theres absolutely no egg in it, nor does it taste like that rich and creamy custard that it did 2 years ago, i asked and they swore the recipe didnt change, but i am doubtful of that, hopefully if i just let it sit for a good month itll be different, cuz who knows, the bottle i originally got from the vape shop could have been on the shelve for 5 months. Will re post after a couple weeks tho to confirm how this INW VC turns out. Fingers crossed
Tbh i dont know, i just got mine in as im gunna try it in a couple of recipes, heard alot of good things about it though
I have been using Caps V2 religiously for the last cpl years, i really like where i got the recipe now, but until recently i have been playing around with V1, when i mix the exact same recipe i use, side by side, one with V1 and the other V2, the one with V1 is really off compared to what my V2 mix is at. Will be trying a number of recipes with V1 though amd letting them steep for a good month or more, ive read 15% VC V1 and 2% TFA DDL is apparently like a 1 to 1 clone of GVC? Thats on my to do list
I have tried that recipe and found that i don't like DDL. One thing about VC V1 that I have seen is that there are variances from batch to batch, or perhaps as it ages even though not mixed yet it improves. I bought 4 bottles of VC V1 from Bull City and they are definitely a bit darker than one i recently got from elsewhere. The bull city batches are ready to vape very quickly. The other is still pretty off even after almost a 3 week steep.
My best mix includes Hangsen Vanilla. great addition to my custard. I am sure it is loaded with bad stuff.
I have also done a side by side comparison of v1 and v2. Just 10% of each steeped for a month and I found the v1 much more pleasing to me. V2 was flat and lacked the fullness for lack of a better term.
Beauty of DIY is that it doesn't matter what is good to me. You can build your own to suit you.
That's what their website says ...
I mixed up a custard, today, with Cap V2, Ina and FA custards -- I heard that each adds a certain something. Hopefully the something is good! If it works out, I'll post the recipe
im going to try mixing some stuff today, ill throw a bottle at 7.5% just to see, assumed 15 would be alright, ive seen alot of people posting their mixes anywhere between 10% and 20%, not so much on here though, usually at 10.
I tested the INW custard at 5 % single flavor in 70/30 VG/PG. It was eggy-great shake and vape. 5 days in and still great, not much difference. I've only used it in one recipe, a "Lemon Tart" at 1.50 % with 9 other flavors. It's only been steeping 5 days, I'm dripping it now and it's fine (though needs more time), though I can't pick out the custard. Not surprised, it wasn't supposed to be a front line flavor in this mix.
I'd say have at it experimenting. Maybe swap it out in recipes using CAP V1/TFA, at half the % you'd use for those. Really though, I think this flavor is more deserving of new creations.

I vape nothing else all day long, CAP Vanilla Custard V2 2.5% mixed with CAP French vanilla V2 2.5 %. Needs at least a month preferably 2 months.I have tried other flavors but have give up now.The perfect vape for me.
I pick up some definite spice notes similar to eggnog but not nearly as strong. And a crusty aftertaste. It seems like it will be a nice addition. Has an eggy nutmeg taste to it.
Mind you I did a very crude, very strong test of the flavor. 1 drop straight in my RDA and 10 drops of my regular custard vape
My first test batch will be:
Cap vc v1 8%
INW custard 2%
Hangsen vanilla 3%
Cap marshmallow 2%
Will probably do a 100mls as I won't be able to put it down.

Well i mixed up 3 10 mls of the INW VC, one at 3%, 6%, and 9%, will give it a day or two and see where its at, im glad to hear it has some eggy flavor to it. Hopefully it will be a go in the right direction, ive been struggling with this whole eggy thing for awhile now, still gets me how these name brand juices can be so rich and eggy, yet out of probably thousands of mixes it seems no one has the key, maybe a combination of the different vendors is it, who knows, one day we will get a leak of one of these recipes and we'll all be set haha
I dont have the hangsen vanilla or cap marshmellow, but im going tk try a variation of this probably with fa marshmallow and either cap french vanilla tfa FVD or diy holy vanilla
Fa marsh & French vanilla will definitely work.
Haven't tried the others but they would probably work as well. Hangsen just makes my favorite vanilla so far.

I can tell already that my custard is going to be too sweet. The dulce de Leche sent it over the edge and down the cliff! Today's experiment will be a straight on custard (FA and Inawera) with no additional sweetener, and, perhaps, a smidge of almond. I think I'm going to mix up 60 mls of the new stuff and add 30 of the 60 mls to the too sweet stuff.
Was reading last night, on diy or die, someone had a recipe on there, it was something like 3% INW creme brulee, 3.5% INW custard, and 2% FW blood orange, in his notes on the two INW flavors he stated that with those two at those %s he gets a rich eggy profile for the mix, so, here is a clue. The creme brulee is one i got along with their custard, i have a bottle of the brulee sitting now at 5%, after work im mixing up a cpl bottles of those two, at varying %s
