Looking for a good strawberry custard

If you have some capellas v2 custard ( or the regular if your throat can take it ) use 10 percent caps and then add your strawberry to taste, probably around 4%

Caps makes a really good sweet strawberry that might be great for that.

I'm not certain if the FA strawberry will be strong enough to get in there and balance out the custard.

The TFA strawberry tastes a bit like pez candy to me.

My two cents.... I've got no recipie for you though...

t ball summed it up pretty good , are you looking for a recipe for flavors you have now or one to look at for ideas for flavors to get that make a good strawberry custard ?
 
I'm looking for recommended flavors to combine. I love Sweet Strawberry, I just haven't found a good mix. I haven't tried Caps Vanilla Custard, but I have some in the mail right now. I was thinking maybe adding a bit of sweet cream to top it off.

And most " custard lovers" say the exact same thing that you just said. Lol

I turned a " custard friend" on to FA white peach and FA Fuji Apple .... Cause I thought he might get off the custard now and then.

I actually talked to him yesterday and asked how he liked the fruit vapes.

He said " yeah .. 4% of that white peach with. 10% caps is the best white peach custard I ever had. .... And oh yeah,.,, 4% of that Fuji Apple with 10% Capps was the best Fuji Apple custard I ever had. "

So, there you go. Custard people just got to
Have their custard... :)

I agree with caps strawberry and cream, I have tons of flavors, but only have 2 big bottles, 1 is caps custard and the other is caps strawberry and cream, I just mix the strawberry and cream by itself and is good like that for me :)

So the general consensus is CAP at 10% give or take for primary note, and play around 5% with the second note?

I don't know how all of you can vape Cap's Custard . Man there is something in that stuff that makes me so sick to my stomach. The first time I thought it was something else making me sick so I tried it a different time in a different recipe and it happened again.

Funny thing is I gave the bottle to my daughter and didn't say anything and she got an upset stomach as well.

You and your daughter aren't the only ones. I don't even like the smell of v1. I can smell v2 without heaving, but I can't vape it, either.
Which is fine - I have plenty of tasty alternatives!

I made a 30l up at 10% last night and been vaping it all day.

I would say it's a " flavor you can count on"

Thanks for the percentage advice .

I ordered some V1 and V2 (test differences) and now I am kind of afraid, since I got a few vendor liquids in the past and there were some ingredient that I never liked (it felt and tasted like puke in the back of my throat) I just hope is not this custard.... And yeah they were reputable vendors...

You'll know right away when you uncap it and smell, which group you're in. To some of us, that load of diacetyl in v1 makes it smell strongly like vomit. sorry to be so crude... Many (most?) people think it smells fabulous. I think fewer people get that nasty smell from v2. It's not the vendors' fault; it's not spoiled or anything.

Yup, I'm getting that vomit "feel" more than taste, like I've said, in the back of my throat, like if I am about to vomit, but I haven't been able to pin point what flavor is doing that to me. And I am way more sensitive to it than normal I guess, since once I tried it in a nautilus, after two puffs I took from it, gag reflex kicked in, had to throw the whole juice away, change coil, and soaked everything in alcohol for a day, after that I was still able to perceive it in the nautilus.... had to give it away to someone else.....

Okay fellow Vapers; I have given my 50ml bottle recipe a good 6 hours of 130*-140* crock pot baths split over two days equally. Now, I did this because my recipe is a 25/75 PG/VG with 10% Distilled Water and 3mg Nic mixture (100% VG base). I do agree with Thunderball there is a "PEZ-like taste in the background" but I am very happy with this even just 3 days in. Like mentioned in my last post I did need to make a few exceptions due to not having many CAP flavors besides Vanilla Custard V2 and Vanilla Cupcake, also I didn't have a malted milk, so I used OSDIYS Strawberry Milk base (which is wonderful as a single flavor recipe). I did incorporate some Marshmallow (TPA) at 1%. Flavoring totals are just over 20% which I think is fairly normal for such a complex custard juice.

Complex Strawberry Custard

Strawberry Ripe (TFA) 5%
Strawberries & Cream (TFA) 2%
Vanilla Custard V2 (CAP) 4.5%
Bavarian Cream (LA) 1.5%
French Vanilla (TFA) 2%
Marshmallow (TFA) 1%
Raspberry Sweet (TFA) 1%
Strawberry Milk (OSDIYS) 2%
Whipped Cream (TFA) 2%
Vanilla Cupcake (CAP) 0.5%

To final mixture I added a single drop of Sweetener (TFA) or sucralose and 1 single drop Vanillin 10% (TFA)

Happy Mixing.

I've got a bunch of Strawberries and Cream recipes that I'll post when I get home. Strawberries and Cream or Custard are my all time favorite vapes! I've never tried the Strawberry Milk by OSDIYS but it must be good. What percentage do you all use it as a stand alone flavor?

Am I the only one who found Strawberry Milk from OSDIY disappointing? I tried it at 10% and 15% standalone and I did not like it at all.

Tried it a 10% and it was dissapointing, gets better with a steep but need something else to lift it IMO. What that something is....who knows?

I tried making it into a Strawberry Banana Milkshake, and that was catastrophically bad. After all that I just shelved it. I usually don't bother with pre-mixed flavor bases for this exact reason -- I'm good enough to make something better out of constituent parts at this point, yknow?

Personally, I use caps vanilla custard v1 and I only use 4%. Im also a big fan of TFA bavarian cream. It adds a certain flavor that I just cant find anywhere else, and it plays very well with the FA creams also.
My strawberry cream.
5% CAP sweet strawberry
4% CAP vanilla custard
2% TFA bavarian cream
1% FA vienna cream
1% FA cream fresh

Has anyone tried Bloody Valentine by Chicago Juice Mob? That is by far the best strawberry custard I have ever run across and I haven't come close to replicating it myself... I have even tasked a hand full of shop owners and juice makers in the Columbus (OH) area to try to duplicate it, but they are all still missing something in their custard. Perhaps my palette isn't refined enough to pick it what is missing, but I will definitely try out some of these recipes and see if I can get one step closer to not having to wait for supply when I need it.

I'm slowly becoming a fan of the strawberry custard and maybe soon other flavors of custard. I say slowly because of the steeping time. I will someday learn not to sneak a taste before it's ready.
I found a Unicorn Milk clone somewhere in VU and made a 20 ml first test batch with flavors I had in stock. After waiting about 2 weeks I gave it a taste. It was gone in 2 days and it wasn't as good as I think it can be.
This round I dropped the Cap Custard to 7% from 8% and raised the Cap Strawberry up from 4% to 6% and some other tweaks. I made 30 ml this time. The custard part is fine, it's the strawberry that was the weakling. I'm not a fan of Cap's Sweet Strawberry so that will be another bit of tweaking to do.

I read this thread from top to bottom. Ya all got me thinking of other custard flavors to try once I make a few more shake n vapes to tide me over while I wait for the steeping to be finished.

I'd be interested in hearing your tweaks because I'm guessing you maybe used my Unicorn Milk clone. I tried the Cap Strawberry at 6% initially but thought it completely overpowered it and found it just right at 4%. I also tried the strawberry from TFA at varying percentages but I didn't like it at all. I even tried it at 2% with 4% Caps but it was a no go. Something about the FA strawberry I just don't like but absolutely love Caps. Plus I thought it was the closest match to the strawberry in Unicorn Milk.

You may be right about the Cap Strawberry as I had used 2% Caps and 2% FW which did not work at all. Tasting the Cap strawberry at 6% during a cheater shake n vape, the strawberry seemed just right for me. Who knows what it will be like in a couple of weeks.
Only one other tweak was bumping the marshmallow up 1%.
 
Strawberry ripe 8% tfa
dragonfruit 3% tfa
cheesecake gramcrust 2% tfa
Bavarian cream 2% tfa
french vanilla 3% tfa
vanilla classic 2% fa
caramel 1.5% fa
vanilla custard 2% tfa

This is is a very good strawberry custard I have been vaping for about a week now and gets better everyday.
