Here is a recipe from a popular website decoded to DIY E-liquid.

Caramelized Banana Pudding
Ingredients

• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter $
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 large ripe bananas, sliced $
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided $
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs $
• 2 cups milk $
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 48 vanilla wafers

Preparation

1. 1. Cook first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly. Add bananas; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat.

Translated flavor concentrates: Caramel (cooked brown sugar & Butter), Banana

1. 2. Whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, next 3 ingredients, and 4 egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, 8 to 10 minutes or until a pudding-like thickness. (Mixture will just begin to bubble and will hold soft peaks when whisk is lifted.) Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.

Translated Flavor Concentrates: Vanilla Custard (Thanks HIC)

1. 3. Divide half of banana mixture, pudding, and wafers among 8 (1-cup) ramekins or ovenproof glass dishes. Layer with remaining banana mixture, pudding, and vanilla wafers.

Translated Flavor Concentrates: Catalan Cream, Cookie

1. 4. Beat 4 egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves (2 to 4 minutes). Spread meringue over ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.

Translated Flavor Concentrates: Meringue

1. 5. Bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes or until meringue is golden. Let cool on a wire rack 30 minutes.

So we have this:

Banana
Caramel
Vanilla Custard
Catalan Cream
Cookie
Meringue

This would be your base from the recipe now all you need to do is play with your percentages to get your flavor right.

Hope this helps for those wondering!! DIY, Vape, and have fun!!!

That's my process, too.
I translate sugar + egg yolks + vanilla = Custard, especially with fruits.

Sorry you are right, I made the change

I'm doing this, too, Disco. I've tried out several this way. It's been a lot of fun.

Been really tempted to get that one from HIC. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Since a couple months ago I've been devising my own recipes using a similar method. There are literally infinite recipes online once you learn to mix this way... you just have to learn your concentrates and percentages first and once you know how stuff interacts and mixes, it's like a whole other world opens up. Glad to see others do this -- great guide.

You'd be surprised by this one. I don't normally like FA Banana all that much. HIC created magic with this one. Banana's last chance with me.

I already purchased it. I'm very impressed with HIC and have no problem purchasing any of his recipes which I believe I will like. Hell, I'd buy them all if money wasn't an issue just because of my respect for him.

Thanks HIC
