Hello Folks!

I have been vaping for over 3 years now; been off the analogs for almost a year! I have spent LOTS of money on e-cig equipment including mods, different e juices, different wicking materials, tanks etc. I used to be in to the fruity flavors however those get OLD and they get old QUICK. What I have found is to keep me off of analogs I need nice creamy, lung fillings, smooth flavors that my tongue does not get tired of AKA an "all day vape." I have had three of these "all day vapes" so far, but finding these "all day vapes" has cost me lots of money.. lots of experimenting, and lots of headache (including trying juices that taste like S$#% and give you a bad headache) I want to create a dynamic thread to review vanilla flavors in detail, including pictures and variables that I smoke with. I tend to buy more premium brand juices, it's keeping me off of cigarettes and my mind off of cigarettes as well.

It might be more expensive at times however the you can not put a price on your health and well being. I have orderdered and mixed up various batches of Cappella's flavors, including thier French Vanilla V1 and V2, Vanilla Cupcake V1 and V2, Vanilla Custard V1 and V2; as well as TFA Vanilla Flavorings, McCormicks and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head. I will find out if you specifically ask me what flavorings I have tried and I will give you my 2 cents. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions and please leave suggestions of vanilla/vanilla custards/vanilla blends you would like me to try or review.

The format of my thread. The rankings do apply, so #1 is my favorite (at the respective time, and this will change; this thread is dynamic)

All of these flavors have been tested using the following. The first being my all day vape setup, keep that in mind.

Ephros kayfun Lite 3.1 single coil 26ga A1 Kanthal @ 1.2Ohms, Organic Japanese Cotton (my personal sweet spot and hands down favorite vape)
Using my Pioneer 4 U IPV from 8 watts - 15 watts (usually vape at 12watts)











Orchid V4 Dual Coil @ .8ohms 26ga A1 Kanthal Organic Japanese Cotton, Using my Pioneer 4 U IPV from 8 - 24 watts (usually vape at 18 watts with this build)






Stillaire V2 RDA @ .5ohms Dual Coil using 26ga Kanthal, Organic Japanese Cotton, Using my Pioneer 4 U IPV from 12 - 24 watts (usually vape at 18 watts with this build)







1.
High Roller Sweets - Deuces Wild @ 5mg Nic 50/50 PG/VG





This is my current all day vape. What can I say about it? A lot. After binging on cigarettes on weekend last year, feeling like crap I decided to go to one of the higher end vape shops in my city, looking for a new all day vape that will keep me off of cigarettes. I enter the establishment wreaking of parliament lights and was greeted by a small, gangly looking guy with blonde dread locks, definitely a "partaker." The man looked very "partaken" and looked slightly intimidated by my deep voice and serious look in my eye (I'm not that serious :p.) So I browse around, asking to sample their home made line (which tasted like purple cement chalk.) Then I see on their top shelf that they had quite a large stock of this High Roller Sweets line. At 27.99 I was like :confused: but decided to buy it anyway, feeling guilty after smoking a whole pack in one night.. So I took it home, opened up the packaging, I had what looks like fake shredded money pour all over my lap, got my ex to clean it up, and started vaping it. WOW! Finally I found my all day vape!!!!!


I copied this description on the flavor directly from the High Roller Sweets website

The idea behind Deuces Wild was to attempt a combination of two types of Vanilla flavors. The result speaks for itself, a smooth blend of bold, full-bodied Vanilla. A definite flavor for anyone with an interest in sweet/dessert type blends.

Man o man this stuff is GREAT! This is currently one of the few juices that I even bother putting in my lungs. THIS WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.

Steeping *none, came pre-steeped, has most likely been sitting on the shelf more a month or two at least) taste amazing right out the box
Flavor 4.5/5
Packaging 4/5 comes in a cool dice shaped container and dripper, kind of messy but I don't care, I'm all about flavor then value
Price 1/5 27.99 at the store, I can buy 28 double cheeseburgers with that!
Smoothness 4/5
Amount of vapor 3/5 *personally don't care, but I know many of you do)
Throat hit 2/5 it's a very smooth flavor, I prefer a nice lung hit, however its not very harsh on the throat
Longevity 2/5 about two weeks before you have to switch to another brand so you can appreciate it more, unfortunately I got used to this flavor after two weeks and had to search for another :x however it's my default flavor, I always keep on coming back for more :p


2.My own personal Grants Vanilla Custard clone: 50/50 VG/PG @ 6mg nicotine






I LOVE THIS $#%^, I got two friggin' liters of it in my closet alright. Me, all my vape friends, employees etc. LOVE THIS STUFF
I stole the recipe online after searching for "the best vanilla flavor in google". This flavor is like a smack of vanilla, cream, and custardy goodness across your face. You have to try it, you can thank me later.
This is how I make it myself

50/50 VG PG (higher end stuff I got off ebay)
6MG (proportional, I have made this stuff literally in 20ML to try, and now I have it steeping in water bottles in my closet..)

Recipe:
10% Capella's Vanilla Custard V1
5% Capella's Vanilla Custard V2
5% Dulce de Leche TFA
1 drop of EP per 2 ML
Shake violently
Let breath for 48 hours (means CAP OFF in dark closet)
Steep for two weeks (shake every day or two)
enjoy

Steeping Breath for 2 days, then steep for two weeks
Flavor 4/5
Packaging 1/5 I make this in old water bottles..
Price 5/5 7$ for 500ML, now thats a deal!
Smoothness 4/5
Amount of vapor 3/5 *personally don't care, but I know many of you do)
Throat hit 3/5 a little on the smooth side, very rich and creamy
Longevity 3/5



Just and FYI I will be ordering a 100ML bottle @ 6% nic of Grants Vanilla Custard to review, and to compare with my clone

more to come, just got tired of writing for the present moment, I will be updating this thread periodically. I already have tons of other flavors, some good, some horrible that I will let you know about. I've got VaporFi's Vanilla, Steam Juice Vanilla Sky and a couple of others I will be writing about shortly.

V1 is the original Grants Vanilla Custard clone recipe, however it is very hard to find. I bought a 4oz bottle of V2 online and its a bit stronger than the V1. The vanilla notes are more pronounced but at the same time it tastes more alcoholy at first, that's why I recommend you let it breath for two days and steep for 2 weeks, so the alcohol flavor dissipates.I don't like purchasing directly from Capella's because their shipping is slow as a snail. so I prefer ebay or other sources. But to answer your question you can make it with V1 only, I have tried it in the past, tastes almost just as amazing but for my pallets V2 is stronger than V1 so I mix both to get a nice creamy in between flavor. Definitely you can make it with V1 or V2 only.

No worries, I am just waiting till "NEXT SALE-Friday 27th Feburary@9am gmt" copied that directly from grants vanilla custard website, I will 100% buy a 100ML bottle to review, I am very looking forward to it. His vanilla custard has dozens of video reviews on youtube, in multiple languages so I am going to take their word and see if it really is as good as the hype makes it out to be, or maybe just slightly better than a much cheaper clone of his flavor. Currently I am just waiting for 5 different vanilla flavors / vanilla custards to steep so I can judge them how they are meant to be vaped and just not right out the box, because I'll tell you right now I am very disappointed that most of these flavors taste like garbage. If I can make a better vanilla flavor / custard than you using only Capella / TFA then why even bother paying 9$ + shipping (which ranges from 4-8$) why even sell it online. Anyways I am about to review Vaporfi's Vanilla flavor that I got 12 days ago from tonight. It's had more than enough time to steep and I don't want to judge before giving it 2 weeks to steep properly, just to be fair.

That was a typo! My mistake, I meant EM which is Ethyl Maltol, I use roughly right under 2% for my bigger sized bottles (500ML ones), and I just found out I cant edit my original post :( so I will have to figure out a way to make is easier for people to read when I start putting up more reviews :(

Re-reading it now (I was super tired when I wrote the initial reviews, especially when I got down to the Grants Clone) the formula is roughly 2% Ethyl Maltol, NOT 1 DROP PER 2 ML!!! Otherwise you will be vaping sugar just sweetener, and you might vomit! I wish I could edit that. I will get in contact with an admin so to edit it for me

Ah ok thanks. I can get TFA cotton candy which is apparently just EM in PG so would 2% of that still be right?
To be honest I have never tried that, however if it really is only EM than I don't see why it wouldn't be fine.

Just last night my other variant of the vanilla custard which I added 10 drops of marshmallow from TFA, 10 drops of cake batter from capella, and 10 drops of new york cheesecake from capella and it is unbelievable. By the way that was a 500ML batch (water bottle), same formula as the Grants Clone plus those three extra ingredients, same steep/breathe time, but its 80/20 VG/PG and I am in heaven right now. I really wish I had more vapor friends around me to share it with, its just so darn good!!!!

Concentrates are on their way, I'll let you know what I think in a couple of weeks once its steeped.
awesome, I am sure you will enjoy it very much! I have so many flavorings and ejuices on their way as well. Just to give you a heads up I am also trying to test a quicker mixing / steeping method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz3yYcdYEZI check that out! Made out of a PC fan and magnets, going to build one and update the thread when everything is done.

I'm kinda new so please forgive me on my lack of knowledge lol. I just love the vanilla, and am looking for something good maybe could you recommend? I was in love with the blu version, it was great even tho they sucked lol, a sort of cotton candy type taste, and very smooth, seriously it was like you always had cotton candy melting in your mouth. Since you seem to have tried a serious amount of vanilla out do you mind suggesting me something?
Thanks!

Of course, no worries. My suggestions are #1 High Roller Sweets - Deuces Wild, #2 the DIY formula I presented in my first post, but read on about the EP because that was a typo I cant re edit (its 2% EP, not 1 drop per ML!) #3 Steam Juice VBIC and Steam Juice Thick Vanilla Custard, let me know if you need a few more suggestions because I am still steeping my batches so I can write reviews on them

Thanks for the vanilla post. I personally would suggest vct by ripe Vapes. It has been my go to for awhile. Although I'm tired of spending so much money on premium e liquid so I am venturing into diy. Waiting on my first order to come next week. I got a good selection of flavors to start with except no EM. I did order sucralose sweetener. I plan on substituting the EM for this until I can order some. How will this effect taste?

This is my new favorite thread - First I'd like to admit that I am a glorified custard head... The worse kind too... This coming from an ex parliament 100s smoker for over 10 years. Second - Voltare - props on the ghetto bottle converted to juice container. I'm with you bruh.. When you need to whip up .. Whatever is handy has to do.. Third - I hit a freaking wall with my vanilla DIY and fell off the wagon and been smoking analogs all week .. Please help fellow custard addicts !!! I'm using CAP vanilla / custard / cream flavors at about 15% per batch total and getting a mean and nasty medicine taste. I steeped and still same .. Just that yeah medicine taste. I've isolated he issue to be my favorite custard / creams / vanilla flavors. ... am I doing wrong?!
