This makes a great Custard stone to use as a base for any custard juice..... Add a fruit, caramel, chocolate, or coffee.
I use this stone a lot, and anywhere from 2% - 10% in mixes.
For making my DaMomma's Vanilla Custard, I use this at 12% stand-alone.
@jsambado
You can try a little bit and see if it works. Take just a few drops of each of your flavors and mix them up, then use that new flavor to make a 2ml - 5ml batch of single-flavor juice to see how it vapes. That way, you are not wasting too much of anything.
@popeye0406 ... Depends on what brand of blueberry or strawberry. I have used Capella's Sweet Strawberry @ 6% with the Custardstone @10% and it turned out very well.
@john70 - It's been my experience, when I let my custard base steep first, when I eventually use it to make DaMomma's Vanilla Custard, I can just overnight steep it and the ejuice is very good. Try it both ways and see what you think. :)
@Mezo .. if the CAP New York Cheesecake was all I had and I wanted to make this stone, I would use it in place of the two cheesecakes @40% and reduce the Vanilla Custard to 50% so I could still get my French Vanilla in there@10%. But, I have not done it, so I can't guarantee if it would be good.
Cornerstone = the foundation Stone. A great use of words, I have a order coming in soon so I can make your Cakestone and the Custardstone. Do you have one for Creams? Looking forward to trying these out, THANK YOU!!
I haven't really used CAP's NY Cheesecake much at all, but the average % used is close to the LA. I would try it at the same percentage I think, @RandyRotten .
@Alisa, @all - Same by me. Only CAP's NY Cheesecake in my stash! Can i sub Lorann`s Cheesecake with the one fro CAP?,And with how much %? Or u think the diffrent is to much? Or sub it with a other Flavour!
I think to premix a good Aromastone is a very good help! I made 30ml but sub Loran`s, with NY-Cheesecake-CAP, at same %! Good shaking every day and 3 days steeping! No breathing!. Is good to give the Aroma this 3 days! Than i mixed 20ml Juice: 10% of the Aromastone and 1,5% of Bilberry FA! I l let it steep 5 days! Every day a good shake. I love it! But i will also try the "NUT-Way" with that stone ...
I like this custardstone very much as standalone and use it in almost all my recipies too.
now gonna mix the 2 others custardstone you made .
thanks a lot for all the recipies you share , for now Ilike them all, really.
bisous Alisa
Hey cooter... This recipe is not for an ejuice. It is for a 'stone', or 'premix' or 'one-shot'. It's a recipe for another flavoring, basically.
I have tried various ways of aging, but I prefer just to mix and let time do it's work in a dark cabinet. If a mix has a lot of alcohol-based flavoring in it, I may let the mix 'breathe' awhile before I cap it and let it sit. Otherwise, I just mix, cap, and age it.
Hey @cooter - I do shake them up now and then, especially if it's a new recipe. I'll pull out the new one, shake, test, then put it back.

Hi Alisa...hoping you can help ! I'm loving the look of your recipes, and am getting ready to make a few, but what I'm really wanting is a good Vanilla Ice Cream ...to vape solo, and to mix with other ingredients ! I love the ingredients in the stones - are these adaptable to vape solo, and at what %? just getting started with DIY, so sorry if the questions seem silly !! Thanks for your help !
@Mgunit13 - sorry, but just seeing these comments today on this recipe. Hope it turned out ok for you. The NYCC should be fine. Never had that particular French Vanilla.
@KarlaM202 - I use this at 12% stand-alone to make DaMomma's Vanilla Custard .
Wow quick reply, thanks, I imagine that if you didn't mention new York Cheesecake is either because you don't know or you haven't tried it, I'm sorry I am super retarded when it come to mixing/subbing, I have no time to invest into learning, I'm doing it to. Save money and having tons of great juice. I appreciate the time, effort and money you guys spend that actually help a lot of people 😁 french Canadian here BTW
Hi Alisa,thanks for everything you do and your willingness to share what you've learned along the way,it's really helpful ! Have you heard of anyone getting a peppery taste from French Vanilla TPA? I get one from TPA VBIC. If you can ,what is your experience with flavors going stale or going bad.I'm getting so much conflicting info it's driving me nuts.Thanks again.Michael.
Hey @Michael. I've experienced the 'peppery taste' from the TPA VBIC too, but after mixing and aging the juice for a couple of weeks, that 'peppery' went away completely. Can't remember right now if I've ever had that from the French Vanilla, but if I did, it went away also, with aging. Taste is so very subjective though. Some people have never experienced that effect at all.
As for flavorings going 'stale' or 'bad'... I've not had that happen yet. I've had flavorings lose their 'punch' over time, like over 18mos. I had a batch of flavorings that sat in 100 degrees for a week that I didn't even bother testing, just threw them out. I have several flavorings that have sat in room temperature (in the dark) for over 2 years, but still work wonderfully. I've thrown out a couple of coffee and a cocoa flavoring that just looked 'gunky' after sitting for 18mos or more. These are my own experiences. I really don't believe there is a rule for ALL flavorings on 'expiration'.
Hi Alisa,thanks for the fast reply,that in itself is pretty amazing! Great info, very helpful.My flavorings are all under a year cause I'm new to this but it's good to know your experience.All my flavors are on display racks in cool,darkened areas.As time goes on I'll check the flavors and see how they're doing.All the best.Michael.
@ Michael I been mixing 3 months and I have 13 d iffernt vanilla flavors and 11 of them I get pepper smell, taste, vape from but after proper steep time that goes away completely just like Alisa said. For me with pepper tastes for it to go away completely, it's generally 3 week steep
Hi Mgunit13,thanks for the info on the vanilla problem I had,I thought I was going to have to avoid TPA vanilla stuff all together.All the best and Happy mixing!
Hello...Your welcome... if you do Facebook group searches (while in the Facebook group) click search icon and type the word: pepper..... this will bring up all the posts with the word pepper in them and 90% of them are vanilla related... you.can click on each one and read about them.... not just that but you can search keywords of anything or even type your own name or someone else's name in the search and it will pull up all posts theat you or they posted. This is an excellent feature for searching specific flavors and recipes.
@Alisa.. I keep seeing "Custardstone" in a lot of recipes and I knew it would be your fault hahaha xx.
I was wondering if you have ever tried Cheesecake By TPA? and what so you think about using this as a sub for LorANN`s.
Love And Respects xx Tony H in the UK xx
@TwoTone - never purchased the plain ol' TPA Cheesecake due to reviews I read on it and being happy with others already. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out for you!
Hi Alisa,quick question...if I have to sub one flavor for another and the average mixing percentages are different,maybe one stronger or weaker,what is the easiest way to adjust the percentage.I try to use the recommended flavor but it's not always possible.Thanks again for all you do and happy mixing!Michael.Toronto.
@Michael - you can use the ELR calculator ! Click the blue wrench at the top right-hand side, select 'adapt'. This makes a copy of the recipe for you and you can change anything about it you like at that point. It's your own recipe at that time.
Hi Alisa,sorry I didn't make the question clear.The question is how to calculate the percentage number that will be inputted.Say FW has a cream and the average mixing percentage is 3.7% but I don;t have that cream,I have to use another and that mixing percentage is say 2.4%,so it is considerably stronger,how do you then calculate how much of the stronger concentrate to use.Do you have a method for that.Thanks!
@twotone. I've given up trying to use tpa cheesecake. There might be a recipe it works it but i tried using it in about 10 of Alisa's recipies and it is just gross. I've made a tester too at 5% left it for a month, it was revolting. Has a very strong chemical taste that never goes away. I let it breath, I've shaken it etc.
@Tanya, @TwoTone, I totally agree with you Tanya. Cheesecake by TPA is not good. I can't even think of a flavor combination where it would work. It has some really bad off-notes I couldn't "mask" or get rid off. I recommend anyone to simply stay away from that flavor. It's a east of your money.
