Custard equivalency ratios

Hello, I'm trying different custards and was wondering if there was input regarding this. I've read that the INW seems to be more concentrated than others... so far for custards I've only really used the CAPS V2 but I have now FA and INW. If a recipe calls for 9% V1 or V2, what would you guess to be the correct amount if I were to sub it for FA custard and for INW Custard?

Thanks!

All 3 (CAP V1 or V2, FA and INW) have different taste and profile. I don't think they can just swap each other but if you still want to experiment then start 3-4% each, my 2 cent :)

FA is completely different then any other Custard I've tried.

Ok. To clarify. I understand FA is quite different. I like it a LOT. I've been mixing it as pretty much a gelato pouring it over bilberry and raspberry. I've found, personally, that the lemon of the FA mixes well with fruits.
If someone has more to add, I'd appreciate it. So far, I've just been looking for recipes that call for FA Custard but I'd like to swap it out in some recipes. I

INW custard is new for me. I've used it only in recipes that call for it like Deeks and certain ones from their website but they are all steeping.
I was more looking for information regarding swapping this one in for the CAPS. I understand that people have been subbing Vanilla Swirl for the CAPS so I guess was wondering if anybody had been doing so with this brand.
I have a feeling that this custard may become more popular; this seems to be a trend for INW flavors like shisha strawberry and shisha vanilla. People usually recommend starting their INW flavorings at 1-2 percentage as it's quite strong. I'm just wondering if anyone would have similar advice for this INW flavor as well...
Just looking for others' experiences with these two products. People mostly seem to be in love with CAPS....
