I've used capella's vanilla custard a few times now,and it seems like the flavor doesn't really start to get good until about a week,and will get better and better,after 4-5 weeks it is really creamy.
I wanted to give an update and thank everyone for their help.
Its five days into steep and the custard exhale is starting to develop. What a change in only a couple days, its almost like magic but Im positive its science.
Another thing im learning is to be sparing with the flavors. More flavor doesnt always mean better flavor, and that maybe adding sweeteners isnt the best route for flavor.
Im really trying to make a great liquid. It would be such a win to be able to consistently make something I like and will enjoy vaping. Also, my buddy owns a vape shop and sells his home made liquids (which are freakin awesome), and I would love to walk in with something that knocks his socks off.
For my next order im getting TPA bavarian cream, capella butter, and capella graham cracker. Ill already have cap vanilla custard , TPA hazelnut and TPA dulce de leche on hand.
I am debating vanillin, marshmallo, and cotton candy
How in the world can you have the strength to wait that long. If I go 2 weeks I think I am doing good lol.
Yep do it... You might want to get vanilla cupcake and vanilla bean too. I hope you have a note book and are writing what you do down.
Right now I have capella vanilla custard, tfa hazelnut, dulce de leche, vanilla cupcake and carmel candy.
I just ordered TFA graham cracker, cotton candy, butter, and capella cake batter.
I thimk im geared up to make an awesome vanilla custard compilation.
Any tips on how to use all of these to their best effect?
Im basing my new creations with the capellas vanilla custard, and adding lesser percentages of other flavors, just like the recipe above.Taste is subjective. I would leave out the cake batter or switch it with the cupcake to start. Then add one item at maybe 1.5% and see if you notice any difference good or bad. Then maybe add a different flavor to your mix and see how that goes. Now you are getting down to personal taste. Each item you add you might want to drop your vanilla custard a percent? Or what I like to do is go all in and call it my custard kitchen sink lol. How big a batch do you plan to make at a time to start? Do you let it steep?
The one I like the best that I make I have 10 different flavors Most ppl that try it love it.
Its funny you say that, I just started recording my recipes online ten minutes ago. I like it better than paper e-Liquid Calculator
It seems to have a 'public or private option' Hopefully everyone can find my recipes and use them.
Heres the one thats working best. Im on five days steep and counting. It literally gets better every day.
I call it Carmilla Nutty Custard Cake
13% nic
50/50 pgvg
12% capellas vanilla custard
1.5% TFA dulce de leche
1.5% TFA carmel candy
1% TFA hazelnut
1% TFA vanilla cupcake

As for steeping, absolutely. I already have around 60ml steeping in three different batches/combinations. I will vape them all in sequence, unless one batch is horrible, which I cant imagine since the variations are small. With each batch I move on to, it steeps longer than the last, and each seems better than the last.
Right now, im vaping the recipe above. It has been steeping for a week and its great (I cant really taste the cupcake though). It takes me 4 or 5 days to get through 20mg, so I keep gaining steep time.
If you where me, what would you make with my stash?
Your not going to like my answer wait lol You have 3 batches steeping you need to check out. What flavor do you want to be the most dominate? If you can get a 510 atty to use as a dripper. and check it as you go. You said you can't taste cupcake and if that is what you want use equal amounts of that and vanilla custard maybe even a little more cup cake. So cut down on the vc and increase the cup cake. Then fill in the rest with what ever flavor you want. Again this is just my so when will you be delivering it to me lol j/k
