I have a recipe that I want to try but it calls for VBIC Cap- I only have TFA. Is this a good sub? What is the difference?
How is the cap?
I mean mixed on a stand alone or a slight mix does it have a funky note to it?

Some of the creams from cap have put me off on cap.I get a slight funky note with most creamy CAP flavors which seems to vanish in 2-3+ weeks. For me, it's VBIC is no exception.

Sounds like you might like the TFA version better...
I'm usually more inclined, as you, to mix both together. I hope to get the best out of each, or at least a bit of flavor complexity. In addition, I have no problem waiting a month+ or however long it takes for CAP or the mix to age well.
What I need to determine is which or what combo of both might work out the best for me with the addition of the 1.5% TPA Malt and 4.5% NF Malt combination you kindly suggested in the past.
Then I'd need to determine if FA or INW Coconut (or a combo) would suit me best. (for a Coconut Malt juice) I do like both.
Next would be to consider if a bit of Koolada in the mix would be warranted.
Who said DIY was easy?

Thank You for the NF suggestion amount! While I have the NF, I have not had the chance yet to use it. I did make a 6% TFA VBIC (along with some creams & marshmallow) and 2% TFA Malt. While it was decent, it did not taste malty to me at all.
Completely agree. Cap really doesn't start to shine until after you steep your juice for 1-2 weeks. If you leave it for a month, it's amazing.I switch between them both all the time, and sometimes even mix them together 50/50.
CAP is maybe more Vanilla-ish and TFA is slightly sweeter, but both are pretty close in taste IMO.
Probably the closest flavors I've found to imitate Ice Cream anyway.
But I like to add 1-2% TFA Dairy Milk to help it along even more.
Oh, and for some reason the CAP seems to need a week or more to get better.
And the TFA only needs a couple days, go figure...
