Well as long as it's not oil based you should be good.Thanks, Gary. The custard is also ready made and comes from a company that says no diketones. I've mixed a bit of strong-flavor-1 with custard, before. Strong-flavor-1 was still too strong! So, diluting it will be good
ETA, I'm hoping Kenna's love of custards will ultimately point me in a good DIY custard direction. I love custard, but the diketones thing is kinda worrisome!
For each 100 mls?! You are going to experiment with smaller quantities first, right?
Oopsy! For each 10 mls!
I think it will be 3 parts too-strong-flavor, 2 parts VG, and 5 parts vanilla custard. Then, how much, and what kind of sweetener? I'm not worried about reducing the nic level; both juices are 6mg and I usually vape 3 mg, now. If the end result comes out at 4-4.5 mg, it'll be fine.
@AndriaD loves strawberry & had a hard time getting a true, tasty, in your face strawberry. She has a strawberries & cream recipe that uses about three different brands if strawberry to get a good flavor. One of them is Inawera Sisha Strawberry. She's not found a substitute for it, & swears by it for true, good flavor, but it takes all 3 of them to get the right flavor. Also, I've seen many, many posts that talk about it taking about a week for some berry or fruit flavors to show up. Do a search for strawberries & cream on the DIY forum. Her's gets mentioned a lot, so just scroll down & look for Andria. Last time I looked it was on the first page of results. If you don't want the cream, just leave it out. She uses lots of flavor because she has tastebuds issues also, & doesn't like to wait for steeping so it should be shake & vape after a couple of hours, & get even better after that.
Capella and others have DAP free custard flavorings.Thanks, Gary. The custard is also ready made and comes from a company that says no diketones. I've mixed a bit of strong-flavor-1 with custard, before. Strong-flavor-1 was still too strong! So, diluting it will be good

You gonna add nic too or just vape the lower nic level?
I buy from both their prices are very close and far cheaper than some places. Just depends on which place has what I want in stock. Usually either one or the other has it in stock.
I think you need to add & combine more strawberry flavors. I had to combine three blueberries. I could barely taste any of them individually. I could tell what they tasted like, but couldn't get it strong enough. Combined & boom, there it was. I made my recipe, added lemon to brighten & stablize the flavor let it sit a few days & all was good. I need to add more lemon for the big batch next time, tho. The flavor did fade some, more lemon would have stopped that.
None of the major flavoring companies say their flavor is safe to vape. The places selling them may say that but not the flavoring companies.
Both? I only saw Ecigexpress.
I added lemon juice as well. Used actual lemon juice right? 2 drops per 5ml. Can't taste it. Sound right?
I won't try to make anything from something I get off a shelf at the grocery store other than the lemon concentrate or vinegar. Try a local b & m & see if they'll sell you a bottle of 0mg sweetner. I used to buy unflavored pg vg in my nic strength & use it to dilute juices that were too strong.
The sweetener I'm using I got from High Desert Vapes a few years ago. Doesn't go bad does it? I also have Ethyl Malto crystals but I'm not sure how to mix them. I think I read somewhere 1/2 teaspoon to 10ml pg? Then use that at 1 or 2 drops per ml? (again with the questions!
)
