Stevo's Vanilla Custard

[Bryan lord]

vaping mine at 4 days out, it is real good. Thinking bout putting 100ml on a deep steep.

I also tried the VC and dulce de leche recipe in various percentages and I like stevos better.

Did you guys use his revised recipe?


-Lord

Yes. I did have to wait a few days for the Capella flavors to come in, but I had the TFA flavors and followed the recipe exactly, or at least I think I did. Here's the exact recipe I used, just in case it's different:



Good luck and happy vaping!

Sucralose not em?

I mixed the original recipe and found it too strong. Couple weeks ago I added some VG and PG w/ nic. I forgot about it until yesterday. It is smoother now with a pleasant flavor. This mix truly does age well. I think this will end up in my rotation.

Sucralose not em?

Personally I don't get sweet from em, I get the cotton candy sugar flavor but not sweet, if that makes any sense. Sucralose adds sweet and I am messing about with stevia now as well.

Hi all, just wanted to comment that on the screen shot of the recipe it says 20 drops equals 1ml. That's wrong I think. 20 drops of water indeed equals 1ml, but you are adding flavor concentrate/extract, not water. 36 drops of TFA equals 1ml. That's probably why the flavor percentage is so high...

Calculating drops is inaccurate no matter what. Different flavors and dropper sizes will yield different results every time. Always mix by percentages and measure using the smallest size syringe/graduated cylinder suitable for the job. Drops mean nothing unless you have accurately standardized the measurements.

Drops per ml defaults to 20, you can change it if you like, I don't bother. I have a 3 ml sample of an alcohol based flavor, it takes 8 drops from it's dripper top to make 1/10th of a ml, so I'm guessing for that viscosity, at that room temperature, with the bottle tilted at that angle, and that particular bottle I can assume 80 drops per ml. I will never have all those variables again, so that's a meaningless figure to me. I can always measure 1/10th of a ml using a syringe. Just my opinion. . .

I mixed this up this morning. Warm bath, shook it good, and it has been sitting with the cap off for about 10 hours now. It smells strongly of the egg nog flavoring. Is this normal? I haven't vaped any of it yet, because my dripper setup hasn't arrived yet, and I don't wanna waste a bunch in a pro tank if it isn't ready. I also figure if I drip it, I have a more accurate knowledge of amounts if I have to adjust it. BTW, I used 1ml syringes, not drops.

the graham cracker you use is it the clear or dark one?

Clear is what the original recipe calls for, I haven't noticed much difference between clear and dark, other then color, if you use it higher %, on its own it is noticeable.

 

[Svt54]

I used the clear one. I vaped some of it today. not sure if I like it as it stands. the graham cracker and egg nog are pretty pronounced, and I am getting a flavor them reminds me of lemon peel, on exhale.

 

[ccwaters]

Give it a hot water or UC Steep, it will also change a bit over time, the Eggnog will tone down some after steeping.

I've been vaping on my 30ml batch that I whipped up about 6 weeks ago.
It's yummy, but I think I need to drop the sweetener a little lower.
I did my sweetener at 2%.
May drop it to 1% and see how that comes out. I can always add if needed.
This recipe does mellow out after some time.
When first mixed, the sweetener was not overpowering, but as the mix steeped, the flavor mellowed/subsided a bit, but the sweetener didn't. So now the flavor is hiding behind the sweetener.
I used TFA Sucralose sweetener.
I also did a batch without sucralose, but instead used 4% EM, which was pretty good, but all that EM hides a little bit of the background notes.

Day two. MUCH better. I am liking this now.

Good luck and happy Vaping!

I'm a bit confused on this. you said you followed the recipe exactly but I see 3.5% of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in yours. Forgive me if I'm mis-quoting you here as my head is still spinning reading all these threads!

I followed the recipe as closely as I could with what I had on hand and showed the differences in the recipe above. Pretty good stuff after steeping, but I think it's too strong and off just a bit. Not sure what it is. Still waiting for the DIY Gods to bless us with the "correct" recipe. Good luck. YMMV.

 

[Pete54]

I'm close to giving up on making a good Vanilla Custard. I've tried dozens of recipes and steeped them for up to 5 weeks but nothing tastes like the better "store bought" brands I've tried. I just ordered the flavors for this recipe that I was missing so I'll give it one more try! I've got over 200ml of various VC recipes steeping away. While some are ok, none are what I'm shooting for.

 

[clnire]

disclaimer: I have not tried Stevo's recipe yet so I have NO comparison. I have the flavors but not home to play.

I did mix up a pretty good one (to me!!) of 15% Cap Vanilla Custard and 2.5% FA Catalan Cream. sweetener to taste but I have not added any so far. But my mix is home where I am not....

 

[JulesXsmokr]

Finally got all the ingredients here... Followed the recipe to the "T" using a gram scale...made 10mls for now at around 60/40
It's in a hot bath right now for a few hours, and will sit overnight before I burp it..I'm sure this will be just what the Doctor ordered!
Thanks for this Vego..

may just try a bit of Bill's VBIC in there on one of the batch's
