Most custardy custard around!

Sorry if this is a very repetitive question, I'm a newb to this forum and DIY. I want to make a nice custard juice and was wondering in your opinion which is the best most custardy flavoring, there are a lot of vanilla custards but I mean the one with a very prominent custard and little vanilla. I hope this question makes sense and I'm not posting in the wrong place or asking a stupid queation. Thanks for the help. :)

Capellas Custard V1 is my favorite. Caps V2 is almost as good, and contains no possibly harmful chemicals. I do either one as a single flavor 15-18%. It needs to steep for a few days before the magic happens.
 
V1 contains diacetyl or whatever I guess and then they made the V2 without that stuff? Thanks for the reply I looked it up and it says its a vanilla custard but I assume it has a stronger custardy taste than vanilla eh? I will have to give this a try which website or vendor do u most commonly use Or know of that is trusted and/or have good prices ?

The Caps V2 is one on the best custards. I think you will be happy. When I'm getting ready to order I shop to see who has the best deals, or coupons. I primarily end up using Bull City Vapor, Wizard Labs, Myfreedomsmokes, Ecigexpress, or Vaping Cheap. Bull City Vapor, doesn't sell nicotine, so If I need Nic, I go elsewhere. There are a lot of them selling DIY. A lot of times you end up ordering from the vendor who has what you need in stock. When your looking at recipes on the web and you see something you're trying to clone, pay attention to the flavor manufacturer. They will normally be listed in the recipe. as an abreviation. For example (FW) = Flavors West, (Caps)= Capellas. Same flavor from two different manufactures can taste very different. There is a huge number of people here that DIY, and anyone will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Once you start doing DIY, youre going to be surprised how much money you save, and how good it is.

I use CAP V2, sparingly, in recipes where I use custard. @wllmc does use some flavors containing the "caution" ingredients in creating his Game Over, be warned, but for people that don't care or are willing to use it with a light touch it seems to be a hands-down favorite.

Most of the custard used by premium juice line's is capella vanilla custard v1. Make sure you don't get the v2 because it's nasty once it steeps after a few weeks. V1 gets better with age like a fine wine.

Many who avoid the supposed bad chems use and really like V2, just fyi.

Why try to force personal perspectives and opinions on others?

I've used both as well. V2 just steeped out funny tasting after three weeks. The v1 just gets richer, more egg like and creamer over time.

skiball ... what's up? You know me; are you acquainted with this new member?

BTW, Caps Custard V1 seems to be a 'best of breed' for those who don't mind the diketones. I'm still trying to balance it for the best possible taste, but haven't tried Curly's version with TF brown sugar yet.

I agree with Benja, I don't like the Cap. Vanilla Custard V2 at all. (This is just my personal opinion, I'm not trying to force it on anyone. :) )

TFA makes a Vanilla Custard too, it's pretty close to CAP v1, but maybe a little sweeter tasting, less Custardy, and slightly weaker IMO.

But CAP kinda rules the roost for Custards.

Personally I still most like Cap custard. I seem to make loads of recipes with it in for a couple of months, then get sick of it and not use it again and always end up going back to it. Mixing it with sweet cream makes a simple yet really nice creamy custard I find.

Flavorah custard is pretty good as well and I dont get much vanilla from it, I really like it as it is neutral though a tiny bit of eggyness to it for me. FA Custard just seems like a nice cream to me with the tiny hint of lemon, I do really like it but dont see it as a custard much at all personally. Those are the ones I have tried though I am awaiting Inawera custard to try too.

I am from the UK and only really been bought up on Birds Eye packet custard so I advise ignoring everything I have just written :)

It also works good in smaller amounts like 1-2% for just a "hint", in many other recipes.
