Looking for a solid diy custard
submitted about 6 years ago by mikeeehhh

So I've been mixing for a while but still haven't found a custard that I'm crazy about. Looking for more sweet notes than I usually get and just thought here would be a good place to ask. I know custards take longer to steep that fruity mixes. Just looking for some advice and tips on your custard mixes that just work!

If you want a quick, easy, and delicious custard, I can’t recommend u/EdibleMalfunction’s Custard Now enough. The best part? INW Custard doesn’t require a steep so this can be vaped right away. It makes an amazing base if you want to add to it as well.

Thanks! I'll have to run to the store tomorrow and see if they have that in stock!

FYI, I mixed that recipe up last week and it isn’t sweet, be sure to add sweetener to taste.

On a related note, CAP Vanilla Custard V1, is sickeningly sweet to me. If you find a recipe using this as the base your probably going to get your sweet tooth fix.

Which ones have you tried? Do you prefer an eggy or non-eggy custard?

Really I like both. Nice to mix it up once in a while. If I HAD to choose an adv, I guess non-eggy

Man. Custard - it's such a huge world.

For a non-eggy custard I'd look at FA Custard Premium or FLV Vanilla Custard. You could mix either of these around 2%. Add some CAP Super Sweet and call it a day. But, they will be fairly linear/thin/one-dimensional. To add some body to the mix you can use things like CAP New York Cheesecake (or various cheesecakes), or marshmallows, or creme brulees, or creams. Some add sugar cookies or meringues to their custards.

There are so many ways to go with custard - some custards don't even use a custard concentrate(!) This is why you need to experiment and find what works for you. For me, I've found that less is more when it comes to custards. I avoid heavy/oily/greasy because after a couple of puffs I'm over it.

You can also try looking at AllTheFlavors.com search for 'Custard' in the Recipes tab. There's over 280 recipes to check out there.

I've tried a few custards and I always go back to third world custard. The caveat tho is you NEED a 2-3 month steep, no joke. 1 month is ok, but it shines at month 2. Because this uses about 10% cap v. Custard v1, this is extremely thick.

I'll give it a go! Assuming that's on ELR?
