I ordered my first flavor concentrates from Bull City (6 10ml for $11 including shipping) I went ahead and got apple pie. I also got pumpkin spice and graham cracker to go with it (if needed) and I already have some green apple premade juice if needed (even though it's a candy flavor) Also got lemon and mixed berries. All of these will end up going with my Vapetasia Killer Kustard. The only other one I got (that will be made on it's own) is chai tea. All are TFA (the flavor apprentice) I also ordered my first rda so will post a thread about making my own coils (specifically for tasting these) Which forum is best for this?

Just wondering... is chai tea flavor also creamy? I always add cream to my tea (Including chai tea) If it's not, then it will also get mixed with the Killer Kustard. Should get my flavors in two days. I can't believe I've come this far (and learned so much) in 3 months... mostly because of ECF.

That question is an excellent reason to check flavor notes on ELR

I just searched a bunch of recipes and most have extra cream flavor... so in the custard it goes!
Deciding what goes where before a SFT. you sound as eager to mix as I was. Can't wait to see what your very own custard recipie looks like.


ETA: Just because others have added milk, doesn't mean there isn't a hint of it already. Flavor notes are always >> recipes.

Just a reminder... "cheating" on this first attempt at DIY by adding flavors to premade juice (Vapetasia Killer Kustard) Main reason is because I have lots of it and already has nicotine in it. After this, it's all from scratch! Doubt I will ever buy premade again. I'm very nervous about using the pumpkin spice in my apple pie (al a mode) Also, didn't realize everyone seems to use graham cracker CRUST (I just got plain graham cracker) Oh yes, I will use less of the custard for the chai tea.

The crust is most likely a buttery /shortening note.

I'm aware you're using VKK for your custard, but know you'll end up making your own. There is a creme brulee I've tried, from a shop I won't go back to, that was pretty spot on, although my sense was still fubar from smoking.
Btw,
I have a flavoring steeping for single flavor that smells like bourbon balls... Liquid Amber

All my favorite flavors seems to be " coil killers"... until now. I like coffee, brown sugar, ect but with RDA it doesn't matter any anymore... is this similar?
https://..................../recipe/1444525/Golden Bourbon Balls
Yes , the graham cracker "crust" is buttery, but might not matter with VKK, so actually maybe better with the simple graham cracker anyway... I know, one more day, I just need to calm down and wait... 24 hours seems so long... I'll be good. Don't laugh, but I have several empty "mini bar" bottles of vodka (empty) that I will use to mix my flavors, then let them steep a few days. Will start with the simple fruit flavors. but will let the apple pie, graham and spice steep longer (before mixing with the custard) Same with the chai tea... I know, should just wait for weeks, but need a quick preview to adjust recipes. By the way, saw the "Liquid Amber" very interested in that one!

The chai shouldn't need a long steep, but I could very well be wrong. Rich cinnamon by FLV definitely doesn't. Nor clove.
I'll let you know what the Amber tastes like when I taste it. Bottled yesterday, so...

Italics issue fixed (must have held control instead of shift and hit i)
For small batches, up to, say, 80mL, I highly recommend a 100g scale and beaker. Amazon has good scales, with resolution to the 0.01g that run on AA batteries for under 10$.

OK, first test run done: 4 empty containers (empty plastic "mini-bar bottles) each with 2 ml VKK. Mixed berry, lemon and chai tea... 6 drops each. Last bottle apple pie 6 drops, pumpkin spice 3 drops, graham cracker 3 drops. After a few days "steeping" will try just a bit of each on the RDA (fresh cotton for each one) then just for kicks going to mix them all together (I do crazy things like that) Oh, almost forgot... after trying the apple pie combo, going to add some premade green apple juice also.
