What is your preferred percentage for Cap vanilla custard v2?
- Thread starter Sirkris
- Start date
No more than 2% in mixes, but usually 1%. it's not my fave flavor, but is useful in a lot of recipes. It makes me cough, so I keep it low and still get the flavor/creaminess.
I get about 40 - ymmv!
I did a 5% mix last week. However, I don't like the flavor that much. I think I'll use it in combination with other flavors in the future.
This is a little off topic, but I wonder why nobody ever seems to talk about TFA Vanilla Custard? I haven't tried Capella (niether version of their v. custard is ever in stock when I go to order) but I bought some TFA and it is quite nice in small amounts with fruit blends. I also didn't notice it needed a long steep - just a couple of days and it seemed good to go. Are the two so very different?
Grants clone says to use something like 15% and I like custard, so the more the better. Cap is different than TFA. Not sure how to describe it though. I am already running out of the 4oz bottle that I got a little over a month ago. I steer towards recipes with custard.
If you had to describe it, though--the difference between TPA and CAPS v. custard - what would you say ?

I honestly dont remember the flavor really well but here is what I do remember. in my early journeys to re create my favorite custard vapes nothing tasted right until I used caps. the others are good to thrown in as 2nd or 3rd flavors but none came close to what I wanted as a base compared to the very small handful of commercial liquids I tried. wish I could taste the taste you are thinking of and say yes or no caps. ha !If you had to describe it, though--the difference between TPA and CAPS v. custard - what would you say ?
as for the difference in TFA versus CAP Vanilla Custard I was told it (TFA) is better with fruits like the FA Custard is. CAP Vanilla Custard is the what I call fluffy custard and yes it can be used with fruit but it is more versatile. Hope this helps lol I forgot to say I like CAP Vanilla Custard v2 at 4-5% stand alone I have yet to try it in a mix I am still steeping it lol but usually I half what I like when I add a flavoring to a mix

In mixes and standalone, I use both v1 and v2 Capella's Vanilla custard at 0%. lol! I'm one of the oddballs that can't enjoy the flavor. It's too much like bodily fluids to me, kinda makes me heave. I still have both and try them out from time to time in a recipe, just haven't had success.

This is the exact amount of AP that I enjoy. 0% makes everything perfect lol. Id probably enjoy 30% caps,though i have never tried it
Maybe not a lot of people are using TFA's Vanilla Custard, due to the Acetoin in it. Same as many other "older" custards. CAP's Vanilla Custard V2, does not contain Acetoin.

I like it somewhere in the 10%-12% range in a single mix, However I would say it really depends on the recipe.
My Vanilla Custard notes:
10% CAP Vanilla Custard V1 - d2 Friday already great, has distinct note that must be the diketones, it's good 4/5. d12 smooth and well rounded greatness, the creaminess is a little less 4.5/5.
15% CAP Vanilla Custard V2 - d2 flor. Try 10%. d3 %10 flor- some cream, max, go lower, 3/5. 2nd try better. Standalone target %6-8. d5 10% actually nice cream 4/5. d8 deep full vanilla flavor, not very sweet, tiny floral, more steep or mix lower 4.5/5. d9 fuller and sweeter than TFA VB Gelato 4.5/5.
10% TFA Vanilla Custard - d1 weds, vapeable but floral 3/5. d2 thurs, not bad, weak 3.5/5. d7 not floral anymore, not bad but not full like CAP. 3.5/5. ~d20 smooth but weak and not sweet, I'd go 15% 3/5. d22 yea this stuff sucks, use as weak base for fruits maybe 2/5.
15% TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato (TFA VCv2) - d2 chem, flor. Try 8%. d3 %10 flor, go lower/time 2/5. d6 mellowed out 3/5 go %6-8. d9 Pretty good, not as good as CAP V2 though 3.5/5.
15% FW Vanilla Custard - d1 weds, very little flavor but not bad 3/5. d2 little vanilla floral 3/5. d8 I taste almost nothing 2/5.

Ancient repost:
"Skwoody's Ambrosia"
25% Cap V.Custard v2
4% ethyl maltol (10%)
Crazy high %, but with a long steep this one turned me on to VCv2 initially, and then I was frustrated with it (not realizing need for long steep) until finding Jason's White Coconut Cake.
I couldn't imagine 25% V2 custard. I feel my chest tightening up as I type lolol. But hey if it's good to you that's all that matters. The joys of DIY
