Random DIY mixing and More

I never really picked up on a tobacco flavor in ry4 double either. It always confused me when people called it a tobacco flavor.

I recently tried HS gold and silver. I really like it. It tastes like a commercial juice that I used to buy that was a light tobacco flavor.

I’d love to hear your explanation on using the v2 CAP custard instead of the v1 CAP custard. I was under the impression (possibly I’m mistaken) that many like the v1 more. Please correct me if I’m wrong and like I said, I’d love to hear your opinions on the difference

That would be a boon for me if the v1 is indeed better. What is everyone's opinion in V1 vs V2? Are there custards out there even better, different? Who is the next contestant in the Custard Showdown?

There is no bourbon in Vanilla Bourbon nor is it a replacement/sub for ABC. It is the region where this vanilla comes from. This is not to say you cannot use it. ABC is very good. Shisha is always a good vanilla option. I have a bottle steeping with Vanilla Custard in it. So many possibilities with the base.

I'm glad to have this confirmed. I bought Vanilla Bourbon assuming it was a vanilla (bourbon vanilla is the name for vanilla from Madagascar, as opposed to Tahitian or Mexican vanilla) and have been puzzled to hear it described as a bourbon.

Have you tried Inw custard?

Hangsen has some good tobaccos. I never liked the ry4 double.

Never tried the FA Vanilla Bourbon but the TFA is good stuff.

Care to share your favorite recipe that uses it?

I use it in Frans's fabulous milkshake base. I also use it in a recipe called Holy Sundae that I am enjoying more and more each time I tank it up. Even though it uses HG RY4, it's all Sundae.

butterscotch ripple FW 1.5%
Holy Holy Grail RY4 v1 8%
Vanilla Ice Cream LB 5%
Vanilla Swirl 2.5%

I steeped it 3-4 weeks. If you do not like sweet eliquids you might want to only make a 10ml tester on this to see if you like it. I don't think it's too sweet at all, but I could totally see others thinking it is.

Thanks very much. As long as the ry4 doesn’t introduce any tobacco flavor, I’m comfortable getting it

Does anyone know, off the top of their heads, the flavor sellers that list in the description the suggested usage? I know BCF doesn't, but recall buying from a vendor that did, I just can't recall which one

I have Madagascar Vanilla, I'll use it instead of Shisha Vanilla.

ECX I does I think, been a while since I've been to their site beyond just looking to see if they carry a specific flavor.

So Holy Holy RY4 just tastes of vanilla and caramel?

To me it taste like the best caramel and vanilla combo I have ever had. No tobacco presence at all....

I agree with everyone in regards to RY4 double. You know what it reminds me of? Vapor Station's line of tobacco flavors. All of them actually...lol

Never had the pleasure of trying those.

Vapor Station's stuff? It wasn't bad, my favorite was Tampa. I think the only thing separating each flavor they offered was the degree of nuttiness in each.

Have you tried Inw custard?

Just CAP. I would only guess INW's is potent, and also guess that it is tasty.

It is tasty. So is FA Premium Custard

Wow, that looks (sounds) delicious! Damn, I could have sworn that I had the VTA, but these are the only apples that I have:
- Granny Smith Apple (VTA)
- Double Apple (Cap)
- Fuji Apple (FA)

I'll save this for later and check in on the thread. Thanks, @Heartsdelight !

I was a mixin' fool on Saturday morning (Good thing, too, because by mid-afternoon, I was a 'migraine' mess & slept for about 12 hours ):

• Truckin's Bourbon Cream (20ml)
• @Skeebo 's Bourbon-Brown Sugar Milkshake (20ml) <-- Steep, please?
• Ella's Shortbread Biscuit (20ml)
  
• Kringle's Curse (Clone) (90ml, because I already finished the 50ml that I made about month ago)
• Added 50% more flavor to @Skunk! 's Plum Tobacco, because I could barely taste it.
• Mixed up 8oz of 15mg Nicotine base for mixing convenience
• Lastly, experimented w/ @barkfunklerbunk 's LMT: Split the remaining leftovers into 2 bottles (about 7ml each), added a bit of Forest Fruit in one and Blueberry Extra in the other... Being the small, light, plastic bottles that they are, I accidentally knocked over the latter (barely even touched it ), so it may taste more like I waved the BB Extra flavoring over the bottle. Yeah, there was no bowl under the bottle to catch anything...

In all of this, I've totally forgotten to taste the Snickerdoodle and @Fidola13 's Cheesecake I made, which are both well steeped. I've got tanks to wash, so I may have to bite the bullet and build an RDA.

The Apple Cream Cake is even better with a 3 day steep. It’s refreshing with the Green Apples but still a touch creamy. Perfect for hot summer.

Boy you were busy! Hope your migraine feels better!

I don't have Red Burley. How do you think this would be without it?

I have everything but the Red Burley too.

I would say it’s FA Custard Premium aka Flavour Creative rebottled name from Chefsflavours in the UK. But it has baddies in it hence is not sold in the USA. It’s definitely lush.

Yup, that's the one I don't think I'm going to worry about the little I use.
