My first DIY Vanilla Custard

[Hawaiian Nate]

Waited approximately 13 days of steep time to get this awesome flavor. 15% Capellas V2, 2% TFA Dulce de Leche, 6% MFS VG Nic & 77% MFS VG. Simple recipe I got from a "Grants VC" thread here on ECF. Tasted like crap on the first day but I'm impatient about most things. I was so bummed that it tasted horrible on the first day but I threw it in a dark dry cool place and gave it a shake every couple of days. 13 days later and BOOM goes the dynamite!!! Lol. It'll probably taste better as time goes by, but at least I know that the 13th day is a special day. I took some before and after pics and didn't see too much difference in the color. Thank god this came out good cause I'm starting to spend too much money buying eliquid.

Most excellent Nate! I love me some good vanillas. I need to augment my flavor bases with some more fruits because I love fruits and creams as well

Yep, love a good Custard mix.

I'm on hour 6 in the UC now with 9 bottles of fresh DIY including a Blueberry Custard and a Strawberry Custard.
Last batch only made it a week
Thank goodness for the UC

If you like that custard i would try putting some cotton candy or ethyl maltol It will make it creamier also look up stevos vanilla custard it's really good

I just tossed about half and half of this exact recipe and a 3% Inawera pear I made to try the flavor out together in a tank.

I'll be doing this on purpose in a 30 mL bottle this weekend

Congrats! It is a good and simple recipe. It's a great feeling knowing you really CAN make good ejuice on the cheap. Just watch out..it's also incredibly addictive

(and on a side note, I'm already plotting all the other things I am going to mix with this Grant's clone. This is exactly how it allllll begins!)

I just made an order for some TFA smooth and sweetener. I was gonna get some EM but decided not to (probably get some next time). I will definitely check out stevos VC. Thanks

It works really well with INA Exotic @ 5-9% too!

I've made that same base recipe substituting the DV for Caramel, which made for a nice change. Caramel is really not the best of flavorings to use, but as I had some on hand, I figured I'd give it a shot. Made a small sample size, which was tolerable right from the get go, but improved after a little steeping time.
