Notes

Thought i would post this as it was one of my most popular recipes. Others have posted variations with other vendor ingredients so check them out as well. Hope you enjoy!

Requires one month minimum curing and its even better at 2.

You can now pick up the recipe pack at Bull City Flavors, be sure to check them all out!

Review by Viscosity:




EDIT 4/4/16
I would just like to add that when i mix this for myself i mix the VC V1 @5.5%. This way the VC doesnt become dominant with long curing times. Curing time is 1 month.

EDIT 5/17/16
After breaking out a 7 month old bottle I am going back to mixing this at 10% VC V1, it was incredible.

EDIT: 7/11/17
I finally got around to trying this with Banana Cream (TPA), it is pretty good but quite a bit different. IMO TPA is less creamy and more runty tasting while LA has a better mouthfeel, and tastes/smells more like those taffy with jokes in the wrapper.

I like TPAs version in breads, some tobaccos and some bakeries but for mixing with fruits/custards i prefer LA. Ive tried mixing with both, as some have suggested, but i prefer them separate, i appreciate their differences and find them more useful that way.

Hope this helps to answer some questions.

Would tfa strawberry work in lieu of capella?
#2 by Ken O'Where, Feb 20. 2015, 06:19
Ive havent tried that particular strawberry, in this, to be honest. I use this combination because it gives the smell and sweetness of a real strawberry. Cant hurt to try it, If you do please post it. I dont have any SB TFA left but ill put it on my list for my next round of flavor orders.

This was one of those rare occasions where i made a test batch and the wife loved it so much i that havent made any changes.

Good luck!

THIS recipe deserves a standing ovation. Well done Sir.
#4 by Ken O'Where, Mar 5. 2015, 21:10
Thank you kindly MG! So glad you enjoy it!
#5 by Anias218, Apr 2. 2015, 20:54
Great recipe. Might just be my favorite, but iv tried quite a few new recipes since last time I made a batch of this. It's for sure in my top 3. But I Will have a bottle of clear LA-BC here in a day or 2 & am gonna whip up a 120ml bottle of this first thing. So Thanks I really appreciate you guys that invest the time & supplies to make these great recipes and then share them with no real benefit to yourselves. Iv gotten a lot of satisfaction out of some of theses recipes & it's greatly appreciated....
#6 by Ken O'Where, Apr 4. 2015, 01:37
Thank you Anias218, very kind words. Almost everyone i know that has tried it liked it so i figured id share it with my fellow DIYer's.
#7 by Amy***, Apr 29. 2015, 17:20
Ken I'm going to make this again ! I didn't have version 1 at the time when I'd made it in the past. What's the best time frame on steeping I believe you'd said it was a shake n vape but what's best ? Tks
#8 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2015, 01:57
Its custard heavy so it will definitely benefit from a 2 week curing. Personally i can vape straight custard V1 (CAP) after a quick heat and shake but not everyone enjoys it that way.

I have 2 x 4oz bottles that i made almost 6 months ago, one will be opened in 9 days and the other after 1 year. I had also made another 4oz bottle that i vaped after 3 months curing time, it was fantastic. Just a little experiment im running on curing times.
#9 by Amy***, May 2. 2015, 02:00
It's curing only been a couple of days thou ! I'm excited I have all the right ingredients so it's guna Rock !!!
#10 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2015, 03:35
If you enjoy, or dont, please rate the recipe accordingly and im always open to constructive criticism, always. If you make any changes please let me know, im waiting on some flavorings to try some of the variations people have made. Personally i like the juice fresh, after a quick hot water bath and some shaking. The % of Sweet SB (CAP) is low enough that it isnt perfumey, with higher %'s i find that Sweet SB needs extended curing time to mellow out. My wife and others seem to like it better after some curing as a result of the custard but i can vape straight custard all day long.

I hope you enjoy as much as we do!
#11 by Dio, May 9. 2015, 20:50
Just perfect Ken. Can't stop vaping.....!
#12 by stevejay1, Nov 13. 2015, 11:47
excellent dropped VC down to 6% and its an ADV
#13 by stevejay1, Nov 13. 2015, 18:32
Also going to try a couple additions was thinking background note of kiwi or pear for some juiciness.
#14 by Ken O'Where, Nov 25. 2015, 02:33
stevejay1; dont tell my wife but i drooped the VC V1 down to 5.5% as well, she has no idea that i altered it, hehe. Made this back when i was custard crazy.
#15 by LordVapor, Dec 9. 2015, 16:00
I forgot to comment on this. Amazing juice. I will be making a lot more. Thanks for sharing!
#16 by CAGE RATTLER, Dec 11. 2015, 09:17
I really liked this fresh. I have a large batch that's been steeping a month now and the custard has really come out. Its muted the nanner quite a bit though and unfortunately I still have yet to even get a hint of the strawberry. Might have to try the next batch with less custard.
#17 by Ken O'Where, Dec 12. 2015, 03:29
@CAGE RATTLER I agree about the curing and custard notes. A couple posts up i mention that i dropped the custard to 5.5% for my personal mix but mix it as stated for the wife. Thanks for your input CR!
#18 by ThirdWorldOrder, Dec 15. 2015, 00:38
Great recipe Ken. I tried this one a few months ago and loved it
#19 by Mikedin, Dec 15. 2015, 06:02
I have the v2 VC and a tfa banana cream I will be trying this with it looks excellent and I hope it turns out very well , I will be trying it with the 5.5% VC I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out thank you for the recipie!
#20 by Ken O'Where, Dec 16. 2015, 07:17
Thanks TWO, trying out a new version using MF Strawberry as the main SB with SB Ripe (TFA) to enhance the smell, as i do in this recipe.

@Mike, Hope you enjoy! Ive never used V2 or id offer some advice.
#21 by ticks, Jan 2. 2016, 04:35
Thanks for posting this, it's awesome.
#22 by 775vaping, Jan 2. 2016, 20:22
@Mikedin..........did the tfa banana cream work? That is all I have! Will be mixing some of this up later today.
Thanks for the recipe Ken O'where
#23 by Mikedin, Jan 2. 2016, 20:27
@775vaping Yes it seemed to work very well, I mixed up a 15ml bottle of it , I'm not sure how it would be steeped because well...I vaped it too fast lol excellent recipe right here! @ken o'where
#24 by Mikedin, Jan 2. 2016, 20:29
I also liked it with the 5.5% VC I

Also the VC I used was the VC V2 and it seemed to work excellent
#25 by brotheomen, Jan 5. 2016, 22:54
Thank you for this recipe. I love how it has heavy flavors that are so light, if that makes any sense. I ran out of ripe so I split the ripe and used half organic and that was amazing. After ordering more ripe, I made again with only the ripe. tastes great!!!!!
#26 by Rubber ducky, Jan 9. 2016, 09:51
Followed the recipe to the t maybe I need to steep for a couple of weeks
#27 by Rubber ducky, Jan 12. 2016, 08:36
Awesome will be making more soon! Gets better with age
#28 by Ken O'Where, Jan 13. 2016, 21:32
Glad all y'all enjoy it! Well over a year later and we are still vaping it, have 1 liter mixed and on the curing self.

@ Rubber ducky, some people can vape it fresh but most people will agree a little curing really makes it delicious because of the heavy custard.
#29 by Bledzepplin, Jan 14. 2016, 04:42
Ken O'Where, I was was wondering if we went down on the custard to 8% would that not give it a little bit more banana flavor or would it be too much thanks in advance great recipe
#30 by Ken O'Where, Jan 14. 2016, 05:02
@Bledzepplin, Well in the long run the other flavors will pop a little more, after some curing time. Now when i mix this, for myself, i do so at 5.5% custard.
#31 by Bledzepplin, Jan 14. 2016, 05:09
Thanks Ken, I think I'm going to try 5.5 percent on this mix and see how it goes..
#32 by Ken O'Where, Jan 14. 2016, 06:28
Happy to help. :)
#33 by stevejay1, Jan 14. 2016, 10:13
I like the original recipe at 10% custard also enjoy it 6%. Being able to tweak the strawberries to your liking is what makes this recipe versatile and excellent . I'm happy with the strawberry exactly as posted. :)
#34 by Bledzepplin, Jan 14. 2016, 15:14
Yeah I really like this recipe but I was thinking that I could come down on the vanilla custard to about 8% and maybe make the banana pop a little bit better but again I'm very pleased with the recipe
#35 by stevejay1, Jan 14. 2016, 22:27
Hey Bledzepplin it does help the banana pop just find your sweet spot mine is 6%
#36 by LordVapor, Jan 15. 2016, 00:37
So what is the longest steep you have tried on this? And how did it taste? I read about you had some going for a year. I bet it was heavenly.
#37 by Ken O'Where, Jan 15. 2016, 00:38
Dont hesitate to post your variations, other people may like them better. There are several out there now and they all look delicious. :)
#38 by Bledzepplin, Jan 15. 2016, 00:52
Well I made it for a friend the other day with 10% vanilla custard and he really liked it and he's wanting 300 mil... I don't guess I really paid attention to it to begin with I don't guess I really paid attention to it to begin with as to having 10% vanilla custard. All I really know it is some good juice. I really hate to change it up and him not really like it
#39 by Bledzepplin, Jan 15. 2016, 00:56
As I look back on my notes I used v1 and v2 cappella and tested it for myself and it was excellent
#40 by Bledzepplin, Jan 28. 2016, 06:09
5 stars
#41 by Ken O'Where, Jan 28. 2016, 19:34
Glad you like Bled! Hit the 5 stars at the top so that other people know, if you wouldnt mind. :)
#42 by Bledzepplin, Jan 28. 2016, 22:09
Done
#43 by John_lewis, Feb 3. 2016, 09:31
This is very nice, 5 Star.

Thanks Ken
#44 by Ken O'Where, Feb 3. 2016, 22:10
Glad you enjoy, Mezzy! I just broke out a 6 month old bottle, mmMMmm.
#45 by Bledzepplin, Feb 3. 2016, 23:51
Ken, I don't see how getting better
#46 by Ken O'Where, Feb 4. 2016, 00:45
I run batch tests for flavor consistency over set periods of time. I also do this to test different bottle/cap types and to see if topping the bottles with argon have any affect on consistency.

Im a nerd, i cant help it, hehe.
#47 by iLVal, Feb 7. 2016, 21:39
Hi, I'm confused about the banana cream, is the colorless one or the concentrated one?
#48 by Ken O'Where, Feb 8. 2016, 07:00
iLVal: Colorless BC, CatHouseVapor has it in stock. https://cathousevapor.com/collections/lorann-flavors/products/lorann-banana-cream-colorless
#49 by w00cash666, Feb 9. 2016, 00:39
UK is shit for Lorann flavours and they really hard to get. What about TPA DX Banana Cream? Will it work at the same %?
#50 by Ken O'Where, Feb 9. 2016, 01:04
w00cash666: Sorry that i cant answer that, i havent used any DX flavorings. Regular Banana Cream (TFA) tastes a bit different than LA's. There are a couple people who mixed the recipe with TFA's, might want to check them out.
#51 by Mezzle992, Feb 10. 2016, 07:10
I made 5mls to test and with no steeping i imediatley made 100mls. I also used TPA banana cream and dropped the custard to 6%. Steeping method: 1. Shake like crazy 2: wait to settle and warm water bath (about 40C) and shake like crazy 3 leave to cool shake again and leave top off for an hour and leave in cupboard over night. 4 repeat a second day. 5: then i added the nic gave it a good shake and left overnight and this is my ADV for a while. Its really good. Thanks.
#52 by Ken O'Where, Feb 11. 2016, 23:02
Glad you enjoy, Mezzle992. :)
#53 by Solace71, Mar 11. 2016, 21:44
Thanks for the share. Tried it with tpa banana cream and fa banana. Lovely lovely
#54 by Ken O'Where, Mar 11. 2016, 23:07
Glad you enjoyed, Solace71. Feel free to post your adaptations, i always like to see what others do with my mixes.
#55 by Solace71, Mar 11. 2016, 23:29
tjek.nu/r/439X Here's the adaptation I made.
#56 by Ken O'Where, Mar 11. 2016, 23:31
Marked as private, hehe.
#57 by w00cash666, Mar 11. 2016, 23:31
@Solace71 it's private, dude
#58 by Solace71, Mar 11. 2016, 23:35
Just changed it. Lol
#59 by Ken O'Where, Mar 11. 2016, 23:38
Thanks, bud. Looks delicious. :)
#60 by Solace71, Mar 11. 2016, 23:45
Yeah it reminds me of strawberry and banana hubba bubba bubble gum.
#61 by Ken O'Where, Mar 11. 2016, 23:55
I started working on a Bluenana version today, i mixed several variations as the curing time is so long. Hopefully one of them will work out.
#62 by Solace71, Mar 13. 2016, 00:35
Look forward to it. Maybe some nonna cake for a bluenananonna.
#63 by Ken O'Where, Mar 13. 2016, 04:03
ROFL! Great tongue twister. I have the nonna cake in my cart but have to wait a bit for another order, got too many new flavors last month and this month.
#64 by pdog88, Mar 14. 2016, 13:39
great recipie. mix 60 ml. on stirhot plate for 2-3 hr. 4 days now tast good.
#65 by Ken O'Where, Mar 14. 2016, 22:46
Happy you enjoyed it, pdog88. Tasty mix for sure.
#66 by Moosiecakes, Mar 21. 2016, 03:56
Same % of Cap Vanilla Custard V2?
#67 by Ken O'Where, Mar 21. 2016, 05:21
Ive never used V2 but no, i would halve it, appx 5%. Definitely going to need to let it age awhile with V2. Hope that helps!
#68 by Nessy4586, Mar 25. 2016, 19:08
Ken I could only get hold of the LA banana cream coloured version as I'm in uk and it's difficult to get hold of and expensive if you do. Do you think it will be ok to use. And is the stuff you use super strength? as mine has super strength on the bottle.
#69 by Ken O'Where, Mar 25. 2016, 23:23
@Nessy, my first mixes of this were with the colored version and I used it until the Reddit group buy on the colorless. If you have any fears I would Google the colorants, that way you can make an informed decision. And yep, same stuff, super strength. I'll do some searching when I get back to my computer and see if I can find you some colorless in the UK.

Hope that helps!
#70 by Nessy4586, Mar 26. 2016, 12:55
Indeed it does, thanks a lot. I'm not too concerned about using the coloured stuff just wanted to make sure it would be OK for getting the same mix/taste really. Cheers Ken! 👍🏻
#71 by Beefy1, Mar 26. 2016, 22:31
I have only ever made this with TPA Banana Cream and it is lovely. On my last run i ran out of banana cream so used TPA Ripe Banana 2% and added 4% TPA Sweet Cream to try and offset the overpowering flavour of the ripe banana. I also add 2 drops per 10ml of sucralose sweetener and 1 drop of Ethyl Maltol per 10ml as i am a sweet junkie and need that extra sweet taste when you lick your lips after a vape lol

I always try to steep for 2 weeks as it has got custard in it and it helps to mellow the banana too. I get like a strawberry custard on the inhale then banana on the exhale.

Thanks for sharing, and for not making it so complicated that you need about 20 ingredients... which is probably why it works so well. When you get past 10 flavourings you are going to start losing flavours and there is no point adding them IMO.
#72 by Ken O'Where, Mar 27. 2016, 00:28
@Nessy4586, Happy to help. :)

@Beefy1, glad you enjoyed it and i agree. A recipe doesnt necessarily have to be complex to be delicious. I keep my complex recipes to myself as they are tailor made to my taste.
#73 by Lars, Apr 3. 2016, 19:52
So delicious! I would go to 6-8% with the VC next time - It's very very good!
#74 by Lars, Apr 3. 2016, 21:12
So delicious! I would go to 6-8% with the VC next time - It's very good!
#75 by Ken O'Where, Apr 3. 2016, 23:49
@Lars: Thank you good sir, glad you liked it! I like it at 5.5%, that way with long curing the VC V1 doesnt take over the mix.
#76 by HC2S, Apr 5. 2016, 03:17
I mixed this a little over 3 weeks ago. It was good as a SnV. After 3 weeks, the fruits have blended perfectly and the custard is starting to do it's thing. I vaped 15 ml of this stuff so far today. Absolutely delicious!
Thanks so much for sharing Ken!
#77 by Ken O'Where, Apr 5. 2016, 05:07
@HC2S Glad you like, bud! If you ever do that adaptation you talked about let me know.
#78 by HC2S, Apr 5. 2016, 05:46
e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/563639/%2527NannaTang+Custard
Just mixed it. Pretty tasty as a SnV.
You are a great inspiration!
:D
#79 by Ken O'Where, Apr 6. 2016, 02:04
Thanks, HC2S!
#80 by Eviltoaster, Apr 7. 2016, 08:33
Thank you for sharing, Ken. This is my first time DIY-ing my own juice as I'm a newly converted smoker-to-vaper. I went ahead and did a bit over 200ml due the to massive positive response.
#81 by Ken O'Where, Apr 7. 2016, 08:55
@Eviltoaster, i hope you enjoy! If you ever have any questions feel free to contact me or join us on the forums/chat. We are all pretty friendly and are always happy to help.
#82 by Chad, Apr 9. 2016, 15:34
Could TFA Ripe Banana be substituted for the BC? I know RB is super strong so I doubt mixing it at 4% would be advisable.
#83 by Beefy1, Apr 9. 2016, 15:41
@chad i use TFA Banana Cream instead of LA, if all you have is ripe then i would suggest 1% and 3% sweet cream, or maybe even 2% ripe if you are feeling adventurous lol
#84 by Chad, Apr 9. 2016, 15:42
good suggestion! i'll give that a try
#85 by fluffs_travels, Apr 10. 2016, 00:06
Just got my first order of flavors to start DIY and would love to mix this. Don't have sweet strawberry though :-/

Could I sub FW strawberry?
#86 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 12. 2016, 10:00
This recipe sounds awesome! I'm definitely gonna give it a go.

@Beefy1 Should I use TPA Banana Cream at the 4%?
#87 by Beefy1, Apr 12. 2016, 12:37
@nipple foliage, yeah straight swap, i also add sweetener too, but thats just me. You can always add an extra 1% of ripe banana if you have got it to give it a bit more but too much ripe banana to me tastes like mint has been mixed in for some reason, tried a banana milkshake recipe and it was awful, even after letting it steep for over a month!
#88 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 12. 2016, 12:50
@Beefy1 Awesome, cheers mate. I've just ordered all the concentrates and I'll see how it goes with no sweeteners first.

The first e-juice I made was horrible too lol. It was 6mg nicotine, 7.5% Apple Pie v2 (Cap), 5% Cinnamon Danish Swirl v2 (Cap), max VG, it just tastes of dough, absolutely disgusting! It's been steeping for 3 weeks and I sometimes decide to give it a go and the doughey flavour just gets stronger; I still have 150ml of it left lol.
#89 by Beefy1, Apr 12. 2016, 12:54
@nipple mate we all fail miserably on the first few attempts, i couldn't stop myself from adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that, ruined everything lol i also tried apple pie and custard flavours to start with and none of them were any good lol
#90 by Greg03, Apr 14. 2016, 04:58
you have done it right my friend. Have been looking for a banana based e-juice recipe that i love in forever. Have 500+ mls steeping now and have already vaped 200, thank you for this amazing recipe
#91 by Ken O'Where, Apr 14. 2016, 05:27
@Greg03: Very glad you like it, with some curing the Strawberry will come through lightly on the exhale and the custard mellows a bit.

Happy vaping!
#92 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 15. 2016, 04:58
Is there a specific order that works well when adding all the ingredients together? I usually make 100ml bottles of liquid adding the flavours first and I always get a really harsh taste when vaping the last ~40ml which caramalises on my coils and makes them useless after only a few hits.

I always seem to get the same problem even when I steep my liquid for weeks with vigorous sharing daily.
#93 by Beefy1, Apr 15. 2016, 07:13
@nipple it depends on how much vg you use, if you are using high vg then the coils will clog up no matter what you do after running quite a bit through them, especially with custard or sweet cream type flavours. If you just use fruit type flavourings and higher pg then coils last longer.
#94 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 15. 2016, 07:34
I usually go for 70/30 and vape using my SMOK R80 with the micro TFV4 dual SS316L 0.25Ohm and it was vaping fine with some strawberry cream liquid I made, flavour was awesome, but then I got a nasty taste as I got halfway through my bottle. I thought it was the coil at first, so I banged a new one in and got the same horrible taste, and another, and another lol, they all fouled pretty much instantly.

I'm pretty sure It's flavour concentrate pooling at the bottom of the bottle, just wondering how to prevent that.

I thought I had a pretty good steeping method of leaving bottles in a dark cupboard for atleast 2 weeks and taking them out everyday to shake.
#95 by Beefy1, Apr 15. 2016, 07:39
If you think it is the flavour seperating then just keep shaking it before you add it to the tank. I make 100ml bottles and decant them into smaller bottles but give it a shake before i add it.
#96 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 15. 2016, 07:42
Yeah, I should probably decant it into smaller bottles. I just really want to get this strawnana custard right lol.
#97 by Ken O'Where, Apr 15. 2016, 07:55
@Nipple: Just mix it, shake the holy shit out of it and put it on a shelf for a few weeks. You can shake it a bit in that time if you like and give it another good shaking before you get ready to vape it.

BTW, we have a chat room and forum should you ever have any questions. You can also PM me on the forums if you like.

Hope you enjoy!
#98 by Brian Benham, Apr 17. 2016, 03:03
Ken, I made some of these a couple months ago but used Cap VC2 since it was all I had. It was really good. Ordered VC1 right after that and made a batch. Just sitting down with it now after a two month steep on a dripper. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!! I was starting to lose interest in strawberry mixes. Wish I would've made that first batch with VC1 too. You Da' Man!!
#99 by smok, Apr 17. 2016, 13:28
ANY ONES TRY WITH COLORLESS BANANA CREAM ????
#100 by Beefy1, Apr 17. 2016, 13:31
@smok what make? Tpa? Capella?
#101 by smok, Apr 17. 2016, 13:33
Lorann makes colorless banana cream. Did u try ??
#102 by Lars, Apr 17. 2016, 13:48
Colorless is the same as the one with color. I made this with colorless banana cream, and it's great!
#103 by Ken O'Where, Apr 17. 2016, 17:49
@Brian Benham: Glad you enjoyed it and try it with V1, soooo much creamier! =)
#104 by Brian Benham, Apr 17. 2016, 18:41
The second batch is V1. SO much better with V1. Didn't realize how much difference it made till I tried it.
#105 by Ken O'Where, Apr 17. 2016, 21:48
Sorry, i meant tried but my freshly woken brain couldnt find the right word, hehe.
#106 by Brian Benham, Apr 18. 2016, 10:22
👍
#107 by Nipple Foliage, Apr 21. 2016, 18:41
Made some of this today with 5.5% custard, it smells soooo good! I have 100mls of it steeping and I made another 50mls to start vaping right away, the strawberry isn't really coming through yet but it's absolutely delicious!
#108 by Ken O'Where, Apr 21. 2016, 21:37
@Nipple Foliage: Glad you are enjoying! The SB will come through on the exhale after some curing. With the lowered VC V1 you may be able to get away with two weeks curing time on a 100ml bottle, three would be ideal. Thanks for giving it a try. =)
#109 by kmpopsicle, Apr 24. 2016, 07:44
Very very nice. The banana cream is just right at this %, not too strong or too light. Thanks for sharing.
#110 by Ken O'Where, Apr 24. 2016, 09:21
@kmpopsicle: Thanks much and im glad you enjoyed it! It is still one of our favorites a couple years later.
#111 by dickowen88, Apr 24. 2016, 18:54
Do you guys use any sweetener in this recipe?
#112 by Beefy1, Apr 24. 2016, 19:07
@dickowen88 yeah i use 2 drops of sweetner per 10ml
#113 by Ken O'Where, Apr 25. 2016, 02:39
@ dickowen88: Try it without first, the flavorings themselves already have quite a bit of ethyl maltol and maltol which make it pretty sweet. If it isnt sweet enough do as Beefy1 suggested, a drop or two per 10ml.
#114 by Beefy1, Apr 25. 2016, 02:44
I'm a sweet junkie so i always add sweetener to my mixes or add a little extra than the recipe says lol
#115 by Ken O'Where, Apr 25. 2016, 02:47
@ Beefy1: I hear ya, my wife is the same way. The first recipe she ever made and one of her ADV is LOADED with Cotton Candy TFA and Marshmallow TFA. Great thing about DIY, its all about what you like, hehe.
#116 by Fiel, Apr 29. 2016, 14:12
This recipe sounds very good, I wonder if could add both sucralose at 1% and EM at .5% together in this recipe?
#117 by Tbsbln, May 2. 2016, 19:36
I made this a few days ago Whit fa:banana Cream DX, cap: sweet strawberry, cap: vanilla custard v2(6%), fa;strawberry ripe and it smells like hell.
#118 by octave nine, May 2. 2016, 19:39
Curious, I'm new to mixing and was wondering about the PG/VG mix percentage. The recipe says 21/79 but there's no PG used so how can it be 21/79??
#119 by dickowen88, May 2. 2016, 19:43
The extracts are PG based.
#120 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2016, 20:23
@Tbsbln: It should, those substitutes you used contain a lot of butyric acid, there is already some BTA in the original recipe in the Strawberry Ripe. Adding more will just make it smell worse. You are looking at a month to a month and a half of curing time with the subs you used.

Basically you arent vaping/smelling the recipe posted, you created a new one. Maybe creating a recipe, adapted, to share your experience will be helpful to other people looking to use the same subs.
#121 by octave nine, May 2. 2016, 21:33
When I alter the recipe using 5.5% VC the VG/PG ratio changes to 30/70, I take it that don't make the throat hit too harsh, followed the original recipe and loved but now making a 2nd batch taking into account most people's 5.5% adjustment on the VC.
#122 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2016, 21:34
@ octave nine: Are you using the MaxVG selector?
#123 by octave nine, May 2. 2016, 21:42
Should I tick the max VG tick box?
#124 by dickowen88, May 2. 2016, 21:49
personally I like the VC at 10%
#125 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2016, 21:56
@octave nine: I would suggest that you do if you dont want any added PG, outside of the flavorings that is.

@ dickowen88: As do most of my customers and family, I switch back and forth. Awesome thing about DIY is that one has that choice.
#126 by octave nine, May 2. 2016, 21:58
Cheers Ken, keep up the good work buddy.
#127 by octave nine, May 2. 2016, 22:05
p.s I'm using 72 mg/ml nicotine in VG should my entry above state 100% vg nicotine cos if I change it to 72% it makes the PG 28% which surely isn't right.
#128 by Ken O'Where, May 2. 2016, 22:08
It depends on the end nicotine concentration. Make sure you check the VG based nic box if you are using VG based nic, or PG if it is PG based. I am VERY poor at mathing so i let the site do it all for me, hehe.
#129 by N, May 4. 2016, 18:33
thank you!!!
#130 by Nipple Foliage, May 4. 2016, 18:46
Absolutely loving this! Had 3 50ml bottles steeping and today I tried it on my Goblin Mini v2 and Theorem and it's just lovely, perfect amount of sweetness and lovely thick creamy vape.

If Ken O'Where made beer... Lol
#131 by Ken O'Where, May 4. 2016, 22:11
@N: You are very welcome.

@Nipple Foliage: So glad you are liking it so much. Ive got a 6 month old batch in my Griffin right now, so much yum, hehe.
#132 by Ogamy, May 16. 2016, 14:15
Well Done Ken, Mimics one of my favourite vendors juices, might even be the exact same recipe. For those saying "Can I sub" No, you can't sub, then it wouldn't be Ken's recipe..
#133 by Ken O'Where, May 16. 2016, 23:20
@ Og: Many thanks and im glad you liked it. Couldnt agree more on the sub thing.
#134 by Ogamy, May 20. 2016, 19:46
My previous message was prior the 5/17/16 update, My current 100ml is with 5.5% VC with a two week steep, the banana cream is dominant, with a faint custard aftertaste.
Will attemp to steep it further, purely to help along the VC, but I can imagine with a 10% VC is would be incredible.
#135 by Ken O'Where, May 25. 2016, 22:44
@Og: Sorry about that, at first i liked the BC being a bit more dominant but then i broke out that bottle and changed my mind. You could add some VC V1 and cure it a bit more.

Again, sorry about that.
#136 by pdog88, May 30. 2016, 15:00
Thanks Ken o'where, What a nice tasting juice. mix as said, 30 day's in the atic and turn out nive wife love's it. I think that a 30 day steep is need. Man you now how to make great stuff. thanks
#137 by Wallstreet, Jun 1. 2016, 15:23
can i replace the sweet strawberry and banana cream for 'banana forster and sweet cream TFA? mmmm
#138 by Ken O'Where, Jun 2. 2016, 21:20
@Wallstreet Sure you can, it wont taste anything like this recipe tho. Create a new recipe or adaptation and give it a go. Who knows, it might turn out fantastic but there is only one way to find out, hehe.

@pdog88: Very glad you liked it and thank you. =)
#139 by SS, Jun 9. 2016, 22:08
This appeals to me by recipe. Curious though if many find Banana by Lorann chemical like? Have tried 2 other recipes using it and i just dont seem to like it but i see this Lorran used often.
Any other banana that might work well for this recipe?
#140 by SS, Jun 9. 2016, 22:11
Guess i can use TFA Banana? Same percentage? T.I.A.
#141 by Ken O'Where, Jun 10. 2016, 01:24
@ShelaghDB: I honestly havent a clue, i have one once used TFA's version and it was for someones recipe. They dont taste the same at all so it would be different. If you search the name of the recipes there are others who have used different banana's, maybe give one of them a try.

Hope that helps. =)
#142 by Ogamy, Jun 11. 2016, 19:57
Finished 100ml of this, great stuff, next batch will be more VC as Ken has said.
Ken question, Are you using colorless BC, as I've used the colorless, but I am only able to order colored right now, which I want to avoid.. but want to know whether if it would change the flavor profile compared to your recipe?
#143 by Ken O'Where, Jun 11. 2016, 22:16
@OG: I have used the colored version in the past, it tastes exactly the same as the colorless. Are you in the US? GremlinDIY has it in stock in all sizes.

Found an 11 month old bottle of the 10% VC V1 in the wifes curing box yesterday, it freaking fantastic. Glad you are enjoying the mix. =)
#144 by Stevelethal, Jun 12. 2016, 00:03
Just knocked 30mm with 8% VCV1 and TPA banana cream. Its had a couple of hot water baths, a night with the cap off and a night in the cupboard with cap on. It's really nice already, can't wait to go back to it after a longer cure. Thanks a million!
#145 by Ken O'Where, Jun 12. 2016, 00:13
@Stevelethal: Glad you enjoyed. If you are going to do a long term curing no need to leave the cap off, there isnt a lot of alcohol in the mix, just a bit from the Sweet Strawberry (CAP). A long term curing will take care of that for you.
#146 by Stevelethal, Jun 12. 2016, 13:04
Thanks for the advice Ken. I've made a few other recipes and they are no where near as vapable at this early stage. I guess that's partly because some of them have more alchol and stuff.
#147 by Ken O'Where, Jun 13. 2016, 03:13
@ Stevelethal: Feel free to holler if you ever have any questions. We have an IRC chat room at the top of the page under Social and i spend a great deal of time there.
#148 by vapeitup619, Jun 13. 2016, 07:07
banana flavor seems to overpower the strawberry..would u recommend a different banana cream flavor instead of LA?
#149 by Ken O'Where, Jun 14. 2016, 01:31
@vapeitup619: How long did you let it cure for? The Banana Cream mellows after a months curing and the strawberry comes through a bit better.

Hope that helps, holler if you have any other questions.
#150 by haggyy, Jun 21. 2016, 19:01
Just mixed 50mls of this up, had to use TPA's Banana Cream as it's pretty hard to get hold of LA flavours here in the UK.
I also added 1% sweetener and used 8% CAP Vanilla Custard, smells great, I will probably leave it for a month of steeping before trying.
#151 by haggyy, Jun 21. 2016, 19:30
@Ken O'Where thanks sharing pal!
#152 by Ken O'Where, Jun 21. 2016, 21:12

#155 by Fuckda, Jun 30. 2016, 17:19
@haggyy: Same problem here. Going to try yours, thanks for the input.
#156 by Som3a, Jul 7. 2016, 00:24
Hello, first of all thanks alot for sharing this delicious recipe buddy.
I am new to DIY and I dont have much flavours right now, I got all except for the banana cream, but I got Fa banana and FA cream fresh and TPA Cheesecake graham crust, I am not sure if they are related or not but is there anyway to replace banana cream with any of these ?
#157 by RandyRotten, Jul 9. 2016, 22:11
Well done Ken!! I've made quite a few strawberry banana E-liquids and haven't liked any of them. This one is very good just after a hot bath.I'm sure after a week or two it will be crazy good. I'm gonna make one to let steep for a couple of months. also I used TPA DX banana cream and CAP vanilla custard V2 ( @ 5.5%). I will be ordering the right ingredients though.
#158 by Ogamy, Jul 9. 2016, 22:49
Steeping for a month or two is a win win, specially for the custard. Have a few brewing as we speak. Some with lowered BC and higher SR and SS. Some with a fair bit more VC than 5.5, really lovely flavours, and always nice to have a variety.
@som3a give it a try with 10ml and let us all know, cream fresh will add body, cant comment on the banana though, and I would avoid graham cracker, itll change too much.
#159 by Ken O'Where, Jul 10. 2016, 00:54
@Som3a: I agree with OG but just as he hasnt tried it with the other flavorings neither have I so i cant really be of any help on that.

@RandyRotten: Hope you enjoy, the 5.5% with V2 would be about right and it will probably need a bit longer curing. I havent tried V2 myself but from what others have said it needs to sit just a bit longer than V1.

Sorry it took so long for replies, was on vacation in a remote area this week.
#160 by Som3a, Jul 10. 2016, 06:03
Thanks alot guys I will give it a try and let ya know how it goes, but if I'll use FA Banana and FA Cream Fresh is there recommended percentage I should follow ? otherwise I will be puttin them from my head with no prior experience =)
#161 by daisychainvaper, Jul 14. 2016, 23:50
big thanks Ken, very delicious recipe even after a week. Mixing this at 3/3/2/6
#162 by Ken O'Where, Jul 15. 2016, 01:28
@daisychainvaper: Very glad you like it! Im waiting on my last batch to finish the curing process, i like to cure it about 2 months as i mix in large batches, 500ml.
#163 by Habeeb706, Jul 15. 2016, 06:50
Shake and Vape. Made 10 ml and couldn't stop vaping .
#164 by Ken O'Where, Jul 16. 2016, 06:33
@Habeeb706: Time to break out the big bottles? hehe. Glad you enjoyed it.
#165 by haggyy, Jul 16. 2016, 13:43
4 weeks into steeping this juice and man it tastes delicious! I gave it a little tester at two weeks, but trust me hold out until you hit 4 weeks and you won't be disappointed. I've ran out of strawberry so I've gone and re-batched up a simple custard and banana cream mix hoping it will turn out just as good. I'm going to 'try' and wait 8 weeks next time around to see what the results are like. Thanks again for the share Ken!
#166 by Ken O'Where, Jul 17. 2016, 05:30
@ haggyy: Glad you enjoyed, haggyy. I made the mix without strawberry before, i added just a bit of Banana Cap to it and knocked down the Banana Cream (LA) just a bit, it was fantastic.
#167 by Ogamy, Jul 17. 2016, 05:50
Got a 30ml bottle steeping as we speak of, 2% BC, Cheesecake Graham crust 2% VC 10% with a dash of whipped cream mixed in, tasted it and its delicious. Going for a good ole Banana creamy custard and a slight biscuity taste, delicious so far!
#168 by Ken O'Where, Jul 17. 2016, 08:53
@Og: That sound fantastic, pop that recipe up so i can vape it, hehe.
#169 by Virj42, Jul 21. 2016, 22:33
I just made this last night. After a quick warm water bath and shake I tasted it and it was SO familiar. One of the best flavors I've had. Today I realized its damn close to Milk of the Poppy by Bluedot.
#170 by Ken O'Where, Jul 21. 2016, 23:36
@Virj42: Interesting, ive wanted to try MotP for quite awhile but i havent bought juice in a very very long time.

Vaping some 5 month old Strawnana right now, its pretty dern yummy. Glad you enjoyed. :)
#171 by COFMixture, Jul 23. 2016, 10:14
I absolutely detested this for the first 2 weeks every time I vaped it. It was actually quite similar to a certain banana flavoured medicine they used to give us as kids in Ireland. So I disdainfully flung it to the deepest darkest recesses of my steeping drawer not caring to ever see, smell, taste nor vape ever again.

But, as the Guinness ad says 'good things come to those that wait' and how right that phrase turned out to be in this instance. As I was looking for some 30ml bottles to reuse I happened across a 3 month old bottle of ol' Strawnana Custard and figured I'd reaffirm my conviction that you people were insane. I opened the cap, had a sniff, made a 'mmm not too shabby' shrug then proceeded to apply it to the dripper. The result? Well let's just say I'm crying tears of heartbreaking sadness as I painstakingly make a 300ml batch and also the fact that I've only got 5ml of the original 30 ml left (since yesterday).

TL;DR It's fucking amazing, BUT tastes like arse for the first couple of months

#172 by Virj42, Jul 23. 2016, 13:39
@Ken how do you make it to 5 months? Lol. My 30ml is gone in 3 days. I need to make a bigger batch.
#173 by Ken O'Where, Jul 24. 2016, 21:59
@COFMixture: Glad you ended up liking it, 3 months is spot on for this stuff because of the heavy custard, 1 month its pretty good, two months its delicious and 3 months its perfect. One of our favorites.

@Virj42: I make REALLY big batches, hehe. This was part of a liter batch that i made a few months ago.

Made this today.. Ken.. Thankyou! It's delicious and after 2 weeks steeping it's gonna be even better! Vaped in a griffin 25 RTA with a single coil Clapton at 30w
#176 by Ken O'Where, Jul 27. 2016, 03:26
@Grubby: Glad you like it, wait until you try some month old + stuff! hehe

See you in chat. :)

@farenheit: Thanks for posting the link.
#177 by Dusty, Aug 5. 2016, 05:59
Hello from India. Perhaps my fav recipe of all time. I have made it with the ingredients mentioned in the recipe as well as TPA substitutes. In both the cases, it's a winner. Thank you so much for this :)
#178 by Ken O'Where, Aug 6. 2016, 00:02
@DiscoKelli: Really glad you like it! So kewl how quickly things spread across the globe these days. When i was a kid i had a pen pal in England, it took a couple weeks to send and receive a letter, hehe.
#179 by Goodkat, Aug 9. 2016, 18:38
Can i use VC v2 instead of v1?
#180 by Ken O'Where, Aug 9. 2016, 20:53
@Goodkat: You can but V2 doesnt taste anything like V1 so it will be a completely different recipe. Personally i have never used V2 but from what i hear you should use less of it and it will require a longer curing time. BTW, the Banana Cream diketones.

This question has been asked in these comments a few times. Perhaps you could hit the blue wrench then Adapt This and change the flavorings to V2, that way the next time someone asks we cant point them to the adapted recipe. Hopefully some others would comment on how it tastes with V2.

Hope that helps! :)
#181 by beram, Aug 11. 2016, 05:11

#183 by BALATA, Aug 12. 2016, 13:52
This is my first banana recipe and I loving it.
Al tough it needs a lo....ng steeping time.
Now I want to make it more suitebuil for my K5, would it work as a 40/60 pg/vg base?
#184 by lola, Aug 12. 2016, 20:24
hello (again!!)
made this one too...
wanted to tell you ...it's nice from you to answer at each one , like that ..
much love Ken..
#185 by lola, Aug 12. 2016, 20:29
oh will come back to tell you, (once it's cured enough in 2/3weeks )
thanks again Ken...bisous!!
#186 by Ken O'Where, Aug 13. 2016, 06:21
@BALATA: Glad you like, it really does suck with the long curing times, hehe. Worth the wait tho. It should work fine at that ratio, ive mixed it at 30pg/70vg and it was not really any different, if it was at all.

@lola: I really hope you enjoy, it is one of our favorites. :)
#187 by Cloyce, Aug 13. 2016, 20:31
I made 90ml of this on 4/27/16 and vape it occasionally and it has been very good, but I just broke out the last 30ml's of it and it has turned a golden orange color and it has the most fantastic flavor!

So Ken I think 4 months steep is just about right. LOL
#188 by mlNikon , Aug 15. 2016, 08:07
I just want to say that I thought adv was just a myth for me that I would never find a juice I liked enough to vape all of the time. That being said THIS juice can easily be an adv it is DELICIOUS! Luckily I DIY so I don't have to have an adv but if I did, this would be it. I let it steep the recommended month even though it killed me and I am glad I did. I am Immediately going to make a large batch and let it steep for another month thank you.
#189 by Ken O'Where, Aug 16. 2016, 01:24
@Cloyce: You know, i was thinking about the ridiculous curing time the other day and am going to run some experiments. I first made this for the wife when she still used her Protank Mini and eGo batt, i bet if i made a base and dropped the overall % down to 15% it would take a lot less time to cure. Glad you like it, bud. :)

@mlNikon: Very glad that you enjoyed it. That is a very good point, while i do have one main ADV, my Simple Custard, i have a few others in the rotation and they change quite often. That there is one of the best things about DIY, besides the savings, not being forced to stick with just or two liquids.

I see you on reddit a lot but i dont really comment a lot on the DIY sub anymore, /u/To0nMaN. We have a really good IRC chat with some really good mixers, new mixers and overall great people. You should stop in sometime, Click Social at the top of the page and click Join Chat.

@Everyone, many thanks for all the comments. >:^)
#190 by Obi-Wan, Aug 16. 2016, 23:13
I made 30mls of this 8 days ago and managed to keep my paws off of it for the first 7 days. All I can say is this juice is divine after even after only 7 days. I had to mix another 100mls today so I can have a fighting chance of trying it after a 4-6 week steep. Thanks for sharing this, my hats off to you for this fine mix!!!
#191 by Ken O'Where, Aug 16. 2016, 23:48
@Obi-Wan: Glad you enjoy! And let me tell you, it is worth the wait to let it cure. 1 month is really good and 2 months is fantastic.

You are welcome and thank you for the kind comments. :)
#192 by Ken O'Where, Aug 16. 2016, 23:49
@Obi-Wan: i forgot to tell you how much i love that pic of your Jedi dog!
#193 by RuntDastardly, Aug 24. 2016, 18:12
Thanks for this recipe, Ken O'Where, it is DELICIOUS!

VC1 usually tops out at around 6% for me, so that's where I mixed it at, which is perfectly scrumptious after a month-long steep, but I might have to whip up a batch at 10% to crack open 6+ months from now.

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
#194 by Som3a, Aug 24. 2016, 19:06
Mate I only had TPA banana cream but I dont remember at what percentage maybe 4% I dont really remember that was month+ ago, its really awesome and deicious, 5 stars for it and thanks for sharing such nice recipe bud cheers
#195 by Som3a, Aug 24. 2016, 19:07
5%*
#196 by fauve, Aug 27. 2016, 13:30
Devine! First test batch did not make it past 2 weeks, tasted so damn good, I have another 150ml just made, going to make a litre of this when the postie brings me more vanilla!
#197 by Ken O'Where, Aug 31. 2016, 06:51
Glad all y'all are enjoying it! Still working on a Bluenana version of it using easy to find flavorings, instead of medicine flower. The blueberry version has been much tougher to nail down, unfortunately.

@podgejeff: Interesting, you didnt leave the cap off at all did ya? Its the only thing that i can think of. The SB and Banana are meant to balance, one not being dominant over the other but they should both have a presence in the mixed after it is cured.

Thanks for all the nice comments and feedback, i really appreciate them.
#198 by norwegianvaper, Sep 1. 2016, 22:10
Here I would lower the VC to nearly half and let it steep for at least 8 weeks. Custard flavors need time to shine. Those high % is maybe good for a shake and vape_
#199 by Timmis, Sep 4. 2016, 19:01
I made this exactly as the recipe says only 70/30 and it's very good as a shake and vape and even better a week later. Especially nice that it's only 4 flavors.
#200 by norwegianvaper, Sep 5. 2016, 01:25
Sure, as a shake and vape or short steep, it will work, but VC tend to use long time to steep, and then less is more.
#201 by Ken O'Where, Sep 5. 2016, 02:22
@norwegianvaper: That depends entirely on your taste preferences and what it is being mixed with. Some people prefer 5% and some people prefer higher. Some mixes i like the VC V1 at higher %'s and some at low, my main ADV is my Simple Custard where i use it at 5% and it is perfect. Totally agree on the curing time, i dont touch my custard mixes before 2 months. MMmmMM

@Timmis: Glad you enjoyed it, sometimes simple is good too. :)
#202 by hamist, Sep 8. 2016, 07:51
Amazing, thank you.
I adapted with 5.5 VC V2
S N V in my opinion.
I think it's premium juice quality.
#203 by Ken O'Where, Sep 8. 2016, 08:39
@hamist: Happy to hear you enjoy it and thank you. :)
#204 by norwegianvaper, Sep 10. 2016, 12:55
I picked up a strawberry stone from this site. I think I am up to mixing it today, and try it in a recipe in these gate I also received a INW Strawberry Shisha, but haven't tried it yet. e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/102758/Strawnana%20Custard
#205 by norwegianvaper, Sep 10. 2016, 13:04
Sorry, here are the Strawberry Stone invented by JacktheVapor78 e-liquid-recipes.com/flavorbase/796412 I have only tested Strawberry and Strawberry Ripe, both TFA, and IMO it is huge difference in a positve way over just using one of them.
#206 by Lebowski, Sep 16. 2016, 17:58
Absolutely AMAZING juice! As i cannot wait i SNV and it was amazing right away. But, after a week the strawberries just are perfect balanced with the banana anda the cream. Cant wait to see what it will turn in to over time. Definitely premium! Made it Max VG, with TPA banana cream and VC at 7.3%! Much love from Brasil Ken! Thanks for the recipe!
#207 by artutot, Sep 24. 2016, 21:31
Ken O'Where i must say this is premium juice i let it steep for 2 months and it is so gooooooooooooooooooooooooood. Just wanted to ask you here in Las Vegas NV there is a juice company that makes e juice you should let me introduce your juice to them. I do not doubt it that they will want to start making it and you hit the jackpot. If yes you can send me a letter saying your the one that came up with the juice. Of course you would not give up the recipe until they say what they are willing to pay you. And of course my 3 percent :) Please forgive me for my grammer..
#208 by OldGuyVaper (OGV), Sep 24. 2016, 23:06
Wonderful juice, Ken. Based on all the raves, I made a "tester" of 120 mls... I don't think it'll last 2 weeks! Next batch'll be MUCH bigger LOL Thanx for sharing such a really great recipe!!! (6 out of 5!)
#209 by Ken O'Where, Sep 25. 2016, 00:07
@artutot: Many thanks but there is a problem. With the new regs this juice probably wouldnt be allowed to be sold as Lorann has refused to divulge the information that the FDA requires. Any juice using their flavorings would then be illegal to be sold.

@Lebowski, OldGuyVaper: Thanks much and i am glad that you enjoy the juice!
#210 by hatechoosingusernames, Sep 26. 2016, 22:42
@ken O'Where do I have to use strawberry ripe? every time I use this my vapes seem to become harsh
#211 by Ken O'Where, Sep 27. 2016, 07:50
@hatechoosingusernames: You dont have to but any other SB would make is a very different recipe. I do get what you are saying tho, it is a really good flavoring when used in the correct %'s and balanced with another SB. Ive never been able to use it on its own.
#212 by Hutchy, Sep 30. 2016, 16:59
made this at 40/60 pg/vg with only 6% vc and it is outstanding at 2 weeks, may not be able to stay off it for a month haha
#213 by hamist, Sep 30. 2016, 18:14
I've made this a few times now with some alterations. Mostly using tpa banana cream rather than LA. It's brilliant and my ADV. I made 100ml last night and was short 2ml of Cap VC, so made it up with tpa malted milk. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for a great recipe Ken
#214 by Mr.46mm, Oct 2. 2016, 01:48
solid recipe, made it a few times, ive added some sweetner and tried different strawberry's, its a great recipe with some flexibility if your low on something
#215 by Ken O'Where, Oct 4. 2016, 22:45
Glad you guys enjoy! I still havent tried it with BC (TPA), i should as they arent that different. Another alternative would be to split LA/TPA 50:50.
#216 by Timmis, Oct 5. 2016, 05:01
TPA ripe strawberry all the way if you're out of CAP sweet strawberry
#217 by hamist, Oct 5. 2016, 08:19
I make it with TPA BC and is great. The local vape shop owner tried it yesterday and loved it.
#218 by cubsfuture, Oct 8. 2016, 11:13
I finally ordered the Banana Cream (LA) colorless and realized I didn't have Sweet Strawberry(CAP) . So i used 3% red touch and less than 24hrs and I like it already . One more flavor I have to order. Going to have to make a couple bottles more for reserves . Thank Ken for the recipe its really good . HIghly recommend it .
#219 by Ken O'Where, Oct 10. 2016, 23:31
@CUBS: Hey, bud. Shoulda hollered i could have sent down the stuff you didnt have. Ive had my eye on red touch for awhile now, im going to bump it up for the next order i place. Dont hesitate to post your adaptation, i love seeing them.
#220 by FrenchVaper, Oct 17. 2016, 15:19
Can i sub LA banana by TPA banana cream please ?
#221 by Lebowski, Oct 20. 2016, 13:48
I have used TPA banana cream and it still awesome!
#222 by FrenchVaper, Oct 20. 2016, 14:19
thanks lebowsky
i have done with TPA and it's very good !
#223 by strat, Oct 26. 2016, 18:37
Had to mix this up, so many great reviews. I did it with 5% custard but think I'll do another at 10 like you said. Can you taste the strawberry and banana with 10 vanilla custard?
#224 by strat, Oct 26. 2016, 18:50

#225 by strat, Oct 26. 2016, 18:51
I'll report back after a month of steeping to tell you how it taste
#226 by Jaafar , Oct 27. 2016, 02:16
I want to make this liquid. But without nicotine. How can I delete the ratio of nicotine. I want the proportion of nicotine 0
#227 by OldGuyVaper (OGV), Oct 27. 2016, 02:32
@Jaafar It calls for 0.9 ml (or 1.13 gr) of 100% VG Nicotine base. Just add that amount to the VG amount, and you'll be OK.
#228 by Jaafar , Oct 27. 2016, 19:53
Thank you so much @OldGuyVaper
#229 by CW, Oct 30. 2016, 13:41
Making this in batches of 200ml for my wife. She loves it. Been her ADV since I first made it!
#230 by Hutchy, Nov 1. 2016, 02:31
thanks man super delish!
#231 by Ken O'Where, Nov 2. 2016, 20:55
@strat: You can, @2 months this is a wonderfully creamy, rich, banana/SB custard.

@CW: Tell her thank you and im glad she likes it.

@Hutchy: You are welcome and thanks for the comment. :)
#232 by FrenchVaper, Nov 3. 2016, 10:35
i have noticed than after a week or more, strawberrys start to vanish
I prefer almost without steep :)
#233 by Kpm278, Nov 5. 2016, 16:34
Ken, this is awesome. If I wanted a little more banana, what would you suggest? I'm new to the diy but I am really liking mixing my own juices for me and my wife. Thanks for any info.
#234 by Ken O'Where, Nov 6. 2016, 00:17
@Kpm27: You could bump up the Banana Cream slowly until it is where you want it.

Hope that helps.
#235 by Kpm278, Nov 6. 2016, 00:51
I went up 1% on the banana cream and dropped the strawberries down a 1/2%. It's really good right after mix so I'm thinking with some steep it will be awesome. I don't know if I can leave it alone though lol.
#236 by wetmini, Nov 6. 2016, 17:39
@Kpm278 you could also try 1-2% (INW) Banana Shisha. I do it in a few batches when mixing this and it is wonderful.

@Ken O'Where Great recipe, one of my all time favorite custard recipes. And my second favorite banana recipe.
#237 by Lolly, Nov 6. 2016, 21:33
Have just cracked this open after a month long steep and it is DELICIOUS! The balance of the strawberry and banana is spot on for me, with the creamy smoothness of the custard. Def adding to my adv rotation - thanks @KenO'Where for sharing this beauty!
#238 by Ken O'Where, Nov 9. 2016, 20:09
@Lolly: Glad you liked it and waited the proper amount of time to test it out.

@wetmini: Thank you, happy that you enjoy it. :)
#239 by Kpm278, Nov 11. 2016, 00:26
Ken, how do you think this would be without the strawberry ripe? Also what % would you mix up just the vanilla custard as a stand alone?
#240 by Ken O'Where, Nov 11. 2016, 19:56
@Kpm278: Shot you a message on reddit, bud. Hope it helps!
#241 by JackHack, Nov 17. 2016, 21:50
Needed about a month of steeping but great after that :) After mixing it reminded me a bit of vitamins or medicine, but it got much better after a month in my drawer.
#242 by Ken O'Where, Nov 18. 2016, 22:07
@JackHack: Glad you let it cure, it definitely makes a difference. Happy mixing!
#243 by jimr, Nov 20. 2016, 00:33
I made 200mls of this so far . A few of my work buddies love it too. Please let me know if you ever come up with the Blueberry version. Thank you very much Ken.
#244 by jimr, Nov 20. 2016, 00:37
Oops. I See you already made one. Can't wait to try it.
#245 by Ken O'Where, Nov 21. 2016, 03:25
@ jimr: You are welcome and im glad you and yours enjoy it. Hope the Bluenana version works for you too.
#246 by beables, Nov 21. 2016, 16:34
Great recipe!! Thanks!
#247 by jimr, Nov 22. 2016, 01:52
Got the Blueberry steeping righ t now.
#248 by Shaqun, Dec 5. 2016, 20:43
Stop using banana cream LA immediately. And if you have used it for a long time, see a doctor for your lungs. This flavor contains Yellow 5 which should not be inhaled in any way. FD&C Yellow No.5; known to provoke asthma attacks (though the US FDA** do not recognize this) and linked to thyroid tumors, chromosomal damage, urticaria (hives) and hyperactivity as well as cancer.
#249 by Ken O'Where, Dec 9. 2016, 04:28
Sorry, i accidentally made this private thinking that i had made an adaptation.

@Shaqun: There is a colorless version that the vast majority of us use. I have been meaning to change the flavoring to indicate that, thanks for the reminder.
#250 by HukIt, Dec 9. 2016, 08:35
made this with TFA Banana, swapped the %'s of the strawberry's and this is pretty tasty. I've had this banana sitting here unopened for a year. glad I seen this on the first page. thanks. I also added 2 drops per ML of super sweet.
#251 by JTC, Dec 13. 2016, 19:26
For me this is OK but I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be tbh.
I made it max vg and steeped for 2 months but nah it won't be going into my rotation.
Thanks for sharing anyway.
#252 by BGtam, Dec 20. 2016, 12:06
Hi Ken, i've made this recipe a week ago. it smells like, i don't know, maybe alcohol, smells harsh. do i need to breathe this?
anyway, thanks for sharing, i really appreciate it
#253 by Ken O'Where, Dec 20. 2016, 22:19
@JTC: Sorry that you did not enjoy. Revisit the bottle in a couple months, six months is what i shoot for when i vape it. I know it seems ridiculous but it yummy. But not everyone likes the same stuff, that is the great thing about DIY, you can make things to your own liking.

@BGtam: Never breath a liquid, it releases the good and bad. Instead just let it sit and cure for at least a month. The Sweet Strawberry (CAP) is partly alcohol based and the alcohol will evaporate into the empty space in the bottle so when you open it after a moth or so it will release. My advice would be to smell your concentrates and see which one has the smell that you are not fond of. If it is Banana Cream (LA) it may be the chemicals they use to create that flavoring and it is common to almost all banana flavorings, i cant remember its name right now.

Hope you enjoy.
#254 by BklynGoldie, Jan 2. 2017, 03:15
Is there a way to use a straight banana (inawera in my case) and sub in for banana cream using some other flavor like sweet cream or something?
#255 by iRoNiCCHuCK, Jan 7. 2017, 08:07
Ken! This is the best recipe on here hands down. This has been my adv for about 2 months. Going to try out some of your other recipes soon
#256 by A.D.V., Jan 10. 2017, 03:34
made exact and steeped for 18 days (no heat). and just perfect ken, really! great artificial banana and semi-arrificial strawberry with a rich vanilla custard. love this recipe! it would certainly make my top 5 all time recipies but because if the high amount of CP vanilla custard v1 i probably shouldnt ;) would love to see if V2 would be almost as good at 10% but am worried that the butric acid (i imagine thats what they are using in V2) might taste like vomit that high? 5/5 rating.
#257 by HC2S, Jan 10. 2017, 05:43
Cap VC V2...DON'T DO IT! It's yak piss nasty.
#258 by Cheese whizz, Jan 13. 2017, 01:58
this is gorgeous stuff. just about to whip up 1 Litre of the stuff so I make it through to the 4 week steep without vaping it all! Well done on this Ken!
#259 by Nipple Foliage, Jan 14. 2017, 22:17
I've tried loads of different recipes on here but this is by an obscenely, ridonculous amount my favorite. Just ordered enough concentrates to make 1l which I'll stash in my basement until I've gone through all my other juice.
#260 by BoyHowdy, Jan 16. 2017, 09:22
Can't believe that I waited so long to try this! Great recipe and I no longer fear the nanner!
#261 by Ken O'Where, Jan 17. 2017, 06:17
Many thanks, y'all. Glad you find it enjoyable. At 6 months cure it is perhaps my favorite mix despite the high % of flavoring.
#262 by Ken O'Where, Jan 17. 2017, 06:21
@BklynGoldie: You certainly could, create an adaptation and give it a try. I wouldnt know about the %s as i havent ever tried it but i bet you can whip up something fantastic. If you click the blue wrench and check the adaptations id be willing to bet someone has tried something close to what you are asking.

I use Banana Cream (LA) as it is very artificial banana and creamy. Im not a big fan of real banana flavorings so i still with this one.

Best of luck to you!
#263 by BklynGoldie, Jan 18. 2017, 04:20
Thanks Ken, experimentation is half the fun. Not rocket surgery after all 😊
#264 by salomoalvin, Jan 18. 2017, 17:13
can i change banana cream colorless with banana cream tfa ?
#265 by Ken O'Where, Jan 18. 2017, 20:36
@salomoalvin: You certainly can, it wont taste quite the same but it will be close. If you click the blue wrench and choose Show Adaptations someone has probably already made the recipe using TPA's BC. This way you can see how it turned out for them.

As you are new to the site feel free to shoot me a message if you need any help or join us in chat/forums.

Best of luck!
#266 by efcfan24, Jan 24. 2017, 04:21
Awesome recipe, Ken! Made it with TPA DXBC and it's delicious and milky smooth! I love it!
#267 by Ken O'Where, Jan 25. 2017, 04:57
@efcfan24: Glad it worked out with the TPA DX stuff.

Bon appevape! hehe
#268 by Mx360, Jan 25. 2017, 13:51
Judging from the amount of comments on this, plus the fact I really want a good custard liquid, plus the other ingredients i have used before (besides the banana cream)

I will make a 100ml of this tomorrow and let it steep for as long as possible, which probably will barely make a week.... before i try it (hope its amazing as its making me hungry at the moment looking at the picture above. -.- will post back with my results
#269 by Mx360, Jan 27. 2017, 12:12
Ok so i had to try it after 1 days steep just to get a feeling for it, as i have no willpower.

It tastes good very creamy, I am excited about this one not going to lie, if it even improves by double after a month i will be making a litre of this stuff. Thanks Ken!

By the way i followed your recipe exactly but i used these two instead:

DX Banana Cream (TPA) @ 4%
Vanilla Custard v2 (CAP) @ 10%. Didn't see your comments on 5.5%, any reason for this decrease in concentrate?
#270 by Doomerz, Feb 9. 2017, 00:06
This juice is heaven! on my frist 10 mi batch i did try it with Banana Cream for TPA it was good, but i highly recommand to stick with Banana Cream from LA, because this is the one that really taste like banana cream imo.Thank you btw @Ken O'Where for sharing this recipe to us.
#271 by Streetlife, Feb 9. 2017, 12:55
what if i have a "strawberry milk custard"???
#272 by Iceman314, Feb 9. 2017, 16:54
This recipe is top notch. I steeped a 500 ml batch for 4 months and all I gotta say is, holy hell is this good.
#273 by Karl, Feb 17. 2017, 22:24
Really want to try this, I don't have sweet strawberry. Any ideas if strawberry TFA would work instead? Cheers
#274 by Mizzooo, Feb 21. 2017, 22:50
Is there any replacement for Lorann with TPA or FA?
#275 by Mx360, Feb 22. 2017, 16:41
I used DX banana cream from TPA, Seems alright, Cant get Lorann in the uk from a legitimate place, not using amazon for flavours! lol

Mx360 what % did you do the tfa banana cream dx?
#278 by jamesfo0, Mar 3. 2017, 20:51
gonna make this with dx banana cream
#279 by Mx360, Mar 4. 2017, 17:57
Not sure about the Lorann flavouring, dx banana cream is pretty good does the job, used the same % as posted on the recipe njdevil, 4%
#280 by njdevil07438, Mar 4. 2017, 18:33
Cool going to give that a try later.on.
#281 by SS, Mar 11. 2017, 03:03
@JamesfoO- please comment back when complete. I want to make this but for my own palette I find Banana Cream (Lorann) chemical tasting.
Haven't found a banana I like yet + gave up but yet to try that DX version. Thx.
#282 by jamesfo0, Mar 11. 2017, 03:35
It's really good with the dx banana I think it turned out just fine I don't really like Lorann they sell that crap at Wal-Mart
#283 by ItalianArt, Mar 11. 2017, 20:41
I am fairly new. These are my favorite flavors. I was told a 60/40 or 70/30 is good combinations. When I put the numbers in for Pg and VG it comes out all VG? Can someone explain and what I need to do. I am going to make a 60/40 batch and will share. What is the time before full flavor is achieved?
#284 by Łukasz, Mar 15. 2017, 10:10
Which another banana aroma can i use? I have few of them for choice: TPA, FW, Capella, FA
#285 by jamesfo0, Mar 16. 2017, 17:24
DX Banana Cream came out wonderful !
#286 by Mx360, Mar 16. 2017, 21:36
waited until now coming upto nearly 2 months, Still I think its too fruity for my kind of custard, its alright but I think i prefer kreeds custard. Just a thick creamy custard no fruit for me! But my friend really likes it, It is nice don't get me wrong but not my cuppa tea :)
#287 by Ken O'Where, Mar 16. 2017, 23:06
@Mx360: Throw it back in your curing spot for a few more months. I pretty much dont vape it with less than 6 months curing. Or give it to your buddy for $$$'s, hehe.

Ive already begun working on V3 using Real Flavors Super Concentrates for the fruits.

One last thing, thanks for being honest, i very much appreciate it. >:^)
#288 by Bryn, Mar 17. 2017, 01:15
I couldn't get hold of Banana Cream (LA) so I mixed it with 3% Banana (Cap) & 1% Ripe Banana (TPA)
at first the banana was OTT but after leaving it to cure for 8 weeks it's lovely! the ripe banana has lost that 'Goodyear' tyre twang and tastes amazing. I'll definitely try to get banana cream (LA), but for now this'll do nicely :)
ty Ken
#289 by Baldwinix, Mar 17. 2017, 11:06
Wow this is pretty damn good! I'm only judging it on having it steeped for 5 days, and I can already start to taste the strawberry. At first I wasn't too sure cause all I could taste was a faint banana cream (a very good banana cream, but not my cup of tea on its own). Not it's already starting to come together, and tastes awesome! Made it with 5% cap vanilla custard. Will be making some more and see how it tastes with a longer steep.
#290 by Tiramolas, Mar 20. 2017, 23:15
Can i avoid sweet strawberry and use more strawberry ripe instead??
#291 by Ken O'Where, Mar 20. 2017, 23:33
@Tiramolas: Create an adaptation and give it a try tho it wont taste anything like this at all. I pretty much dont use Ripe for its flavor, i use it mostly for its smell. This is pretty well balanced between banana, sb and custard if one waits through the curing time. I feel that the Ripe would provide limited SB flavor when cured, the custard and banana would quickly over take it.

Hope that helps.
#292 by Tiramolas, Mar 21. 2017, 14:16
Yeah that covers me. I am convinced to try sweet strawberry then :) so sweet strawberry with ripe gives more strawberry flavour? I have some issues tasting much the strawberry in my mixes and i only use ripe..
#293 by jamesfo0, Mar 21. 2017, 22:35
I just mixed this again bigger batch 100ml with 4.7 dx banana cream 5 ripe 4 ss and 9 vc1 will let you know how it turns out next month;-)
#294 by jamesfo0, Mar 21. 2017, 22:36

First time using this site - Mixing the top rated vapes. I subbed the Banana for TPA Banana Cream as that's all I had. Off it goes into the cold dark room for a month. I'll let you know.
#299 by mediocrity, Mar 27. 2017, 00:15
I thought it was great as an SnV. I mixed up five bottles and four have a chance to steep.. One certainly does not as I'm using it.
#300 by jamesfo0, Mar 27. 2017, 00:33
Thanks for sharing Ken so far this is one of my favorites
#301 by Obi-Wan, Mar 30. 2017, 14:39
I made a 500ml batch of this back on 9/16/16 and tucked 250mls aside for a 6 month cure. I just pulled it out yesterday and it truly does get better after the long cure. The flavors have settled together perfectly for rich and full bodied vape. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!
#302 by Ken O'Where, Mar 31. 2017, 01:28
Glad you all enjoy it. :)

@Obi-Wan: 6 months seems to be the sweet spot for it, mixed a lot of batches for testing and 6-8 months is perfection, for this mix.

Ans sorry, the site only allows 5 stars max, hehe.
#303 by omonoiasg, Mar 31. 2017, 09:24
I have to say THANK YOU for this recipe, it's like tasting the sweet :D
#304 by Vapeoz, Apr 2. 2017, 15:26
Hi just wondering should I steep/cure without adding nic for 3-4 weeks or do I need to add the nic
#305 by hamist, Apr 2. 2017, 15:31
I've subbed tpa banana cream and FW banana and also used FA red touch in various mixes, all come out good. Thanks Ken
#306 by Atko85, Apr 3. 2017, 00:27
I love banana and strawberry and creamy vapes but strangely didn't love this after a month or so steep. I only made 30ml so any inaccuracy could have a big impact I guess. Usually I'd move on but this one excites me so am going to make another batch tomorrow
#307 by Onur Can, Apr 4. 2017, 10:07
I made this with TFA Banana Cream and %6 vc, Its on 10th day, i m tasting it every day. ı like it very much and i made a bigger batch to steep for 1 month. But as for now i m not getting any strawberry taste. Is it bcs tfa banana is so domininant ? or this is suppose to be like this ?
#308 by Ken O'Where, Apr 4. 2017, 23:08
Onur Can: Honestly i do not know, i have never made this mix with Banana Cream TPA and have rarely used it. Custards require a month of curing time. Hope that helps.

Atko85: Personally i prefer it at 2+ months, its a lot of custard and requires quite a bit of curing time. I hope you end up enjoying it but not everyone likes the same things, thats the beauty of DIY. :)
#309 by Atko85, Apr 4. 2017, 23:34
Hi Ken, I found another 30ml I made on 30th December (I went through a stage of making all the top rated juices around then and lost track of what I'd done) tried it today and it is amazing! The banana has mellowed perfectly and it truly tastes like a premium liquid. Now I'll make a litre and impatiently wait a couple of months. Definite 5 star and so pleased I didn't give up.
#310 by Ken O'Where, Apr 4. 2017, 23:46
@Atko85: Time makes all the difference in a mix like this, ive tried heat, ultrasonic cleaners, etc but none were as good as some time in a cool dark place.

Im glad you enjoyed it and if you ever need help we have a chat room at the top of the page. :)
#311 by Jaymoney, Apr 6. 2017, 13:17
This is just awesome!!!! I never enjoyed vaping juice with banana in it, but this really got me! Good job
#312 by adgregory, Apr 6. 2017, 15:47
Just mixed this a few days back I've used the coloured banana though as they sent it me in error and I couldn't be bothered returning it then waiting for replacements. Is the only difference the yellow colouring?
#313 by Ken O'Where, Apr 7. 2017, 05:01
@adgregory: It wont change the flavor at all but the coloring bothers some people lungs and throat. I vaped it for a bit, with coloring, back before we could get colorless BC (LA), if i vaped too much it made me cough so it did irritate my lungs a bit. Hope that helps!

@Jaymoney: Thank you, glad you enjoy it. :)
#314 by adgregory, Apr 7. 2017, 08:17
Thanks for the clarification @ken o'where. I'm sure it will be fine, I only made 500ml haha
#315 by Geb, Apr 8. 2017, 01:31
Outstanding juice. Steeped a little over a month before tasting - super smooth and creamy. If you like strawberry and banana this recipe is a must try.

Between the receipes of Ken O'Where, Eternity and ID10-T I'll never have to buy commercial juice again. I've been mixing a little over two months and I find my biggest problem is laziness. I've come across no less than 6 ADV juices and another dozen or so super good occasional vape juices. Beyond tweaking a bit for my personal tastes I have very little incentive to create my own recipes.
#316 by Ken O'Where, Apr 14. 2017, 22:28
@Geb: Many thanks and im happy you enjoy. :)
#317 by njdevil07438, Apr 15. 2017, 02:07
Think after dinner I plan to mix up a bottle of this.
#318 by njdevil07438, Apr 15. 2017, 02:08
Going to need to use vc v2 and tfa banana cream.
#319 by UlleTheBulle, Apr 15. 2017, 16:17
How much aroma do I need to cut down if I mif 30/70 pg and vg?
#320 by leomar, Apr 21. 2017, 20:01
I used 2ml custard and 1 ml vanilla bean ice cream, instead of full custard. also, I don't have sweet strawberry so I used fa strawberry and the result is pretty good actually. I will try to report last results after curing. Thanks for this awesome recipe!
#321 by Chef Mike Vapes, Apr 22. 2017, 21:07
just made a batch . i Had to sub bannana with ripe Bannana TPA . I am gonna let it steep for few weeks and I will let you konw :) thanks
#322 by cincinnatiking, Apr 22. 2017, 23:15
I just started mixing. I found I really like CAP VC at 8% right away after a shake. Does the VC lose flavor with a long steep, or will it get stronger?
#323 by Geb, Apr 22. 2017, 23:27
@cincinnatking - the custard gets stronger over time. fruits can fade over time but custards/creams get better.
#324 by LeeDavid , Apr 24. 2017, 09:37
This is going down a storm in Zimbabwe. Thank you for your time and sharing your recipes.
#325 by cincinnatiking, May 3. 2017, 03:05
@Geb thank you. I just cracked this open after two weeks. It is excellent! Making two more bottles, two to steep, one to vape. It's a perfect balance of banana and strawberry, with a thick tasty cream.
#326 by Dayze0, May 4. 2017, 22:56
" EDIT 5/17/16
After breaking out a 7 month old bottle I am going back to mixing this at 10% VC V1, it was incredible."

Thanks Ken, Recipe sounds fantastic - will be mixing a batch tomorrow
wow - a 7 month steep, lol - thats equal to about 28hr crockpot steep, hahaha - gonna try it
#327 by Ken O'Where, May 5. 2017, 21:11
Dayze0: I have tried every quick curing method imaginable and nothing is better than time. Prolonged heat will quickly diminish the strawberry notes and you will be left with a weak banana custard. I mix it, shake it and shelve it until it is ready to vape, which is really a minimum of 2 months as it has so much custard.

It is worth the wait. :)
#328 by natbone, May 5. 2017, 22:33
I just opened a 6 week old bottle. I used SR and Jungle Flavor Sweet Strawberry. I used 6% VCv1. It's fantastic. I've got Shisha Strawberry on the way and that'll be the next batch. I made 120ml in this batch so I'm getting a little ahead of the game. Guess I'll have to make 240ml next time. Great job, Ken.
#329 by Ken O'Where, May 6. 2017, 07:16
natbone: Thanks and glad you enjoy. If you click the blue wrench and check out the newer adaptations there is one with Shisha made by a friend from chat.
#330 by Geir, May 8. 2017, 00:01
Good vape. Even though im one og thouse who cant taste the strawberry. Lucky i love Banana 👍🏻
#331 by Ron the Don, May 18. 2017, 07:57
Wow! This is right up there with Mustard Milk for me. Most likely to be in my ADV rotation and that's just after warm bath. Can't wait for 1 month but don't think it will last that long. Cheers Ken
#332 by Tanny, May 18. 2017, 11:55
Hey guys. This recipe has received extraordinary praise and as someone who loves custard I thought I'd try it out. I had some already steeped (2 month) Capella V1 custard and simply added the strawberries and LA banana cream to it. I let it steep for another month. All I can taste is a chemically taste. Not much strawberry or banana at all. What do you think could be wrong? I've added a little more strawberry and banana to it last night. Is the steeped custard just overpowering everything else now? Please help! Thanks
#333 by adgregory, May 18. 2017, 14:30
@Tanny what % was the already steeped custard mixed at? Was it straight custard V1 and no Bavarian cream or French vanilla added? If anything the custard should be a background flavour (it is on my mix anyway) and the prominent flavour is banana with a nice strawberry too.
#334 by Tanny, May 18. 2017, 17:01
@adgregory Hello buddy. It was mixed at 10% with 1% ethyl maltol as a sweetener. Nothing else added. I used this and added the other ingredients in this recipe exactly as instructed, but all I'm getting is a muted chemically flavour. It hasn't had any breathing and I'm wondering if I leave the cap off maybe it'll help. I've added 1% extra banana, and 1% extra strawberry to it and put it away again for steeping. Hoping this may bring out the other flavours.
#335 by Tanny, May 18. 2017, 17:03
Oh and vaping on a flat clapton coil in a twisted messes rda which gives out decent flavour with other liquids
#336 by adgregory, May 18. 2017, 17:05
Banana can sometimes give a chemical taste as can EM. I'm. It a fan of EM. Try breathing it but you may need to add more strawberry after you've breathed it as I find strawberry fades super quick when breathing.
#337 by Tanny, May 18. 2017, 17:09
Thank you for your help. I'm new to DIY and just feel a little disheartened after reading all the positive comments. Im sure this recipe is amazing but want to experience it myself. I'll try breathing for a very short time and see if it helps. Do you find EM can have a negative effect on flavour? I wouldn't have thought 1% should have such a big effect but who knows
#338 by Tanny, May 18. 2017, 17:11
Also do you think it will need much more steeping now after adding the extra banana and strawberry?
#339 by Ken O'Where, May 18. 2017, 22:59
@Tanny: Honestly i dont know what the curing time would be. SB Sweet (CAP) has alcohol in it so it requires some shelf time once mixed.

I usually cure this stuff for 2-3months before i touch it. At first the Banana Cream plays the dominant role, the SB makes an appearance around the month mark as does the custard. Another month and everything is very well balanced.

Ive never tried mixing the fruits into a well cured custard, i adjust the %s so they will play well with a long curing.

"Breathing" it will let the good flavors out along with the bad, i dont suggest doing so as the amount of alcohol in the SB Sweet isnt a lot and will evap into the empty space in the bottle as it cures.

Hope some of this is helpful. :)
#340 by Tanny, May 19. 2017, 00:04
@Ken O'Where thank you for taking the time to reply. I won't breathe it but will let it steep naturally. I think with time hopefully the flavour its should come out. Going forwards I think I'll make my recipes from scratch instead of adding extra flavours to an already steeped liquid. I've bumped the strawberry and banana by a percent so hoping in a couple of weeks more steeping I'll see the flavours develop. I'll keep you posted 🙂
#341 by Ken O'Where, May 19. 2017, 00:29
@Tanny: I hope it works out for ya, in the meantime make a fresh mix just in case it doesnt work out, just my opinion but its worth it even if just to have another bottle if it does work out. And please do keep me posted, ive wanted to try this in the past but im half an old fart and quite stubborn, hehe.
#342 by Markburton702, May 21. 2017, 15:59
Sick recipe, I've vaped at least a gallon of this stuff... A well rounded, perfect recipe. Xcellent job man 👏👏👏👏👏👏
#343 by Omnify_vaping, May 27. 2017, 00:25
Planning on making a 500-1000ml batch and letting it steep for as long as I can. Would you recommend putting the nicotine in after the long steep or immediately once I mix it. Thanks
#344 by Tanny, May 28. 2017, 23:32
@Ken O'Where hey Ken hope you're well! Well some feedback. After adding another 1% or so of extra banana and strawberry to the already steeped custard and fruit mix and letting it steep again for a couple of weeks the good news is I can taste the fruits now! I think it'll probably get better with age. I have mixed 100ml of this so I'll be able to vape a little and let it age so can see the results over time! Thanks again for your advice 😊
#345 by Ken O'Where, May 29. 2017, 03:05
Thanks Mark, 45. :)

Omnify_vaping: When i make liter batches i add the nic when i mix it but once it has cured it is gone pretty quickly. The last few times i have made liter batches i have mixed them in 8oz bottles. This when im cracking one bottle at a time and not an entire liter, helps with nic oxidation.

@Tanny: Glad it worked out, pouring out that much juice hurts, hehe.
#346 by 45 CALIBER JUICES', May 29. 2017, 19:21
@Ken O'Where, thanks again for the recipe, I mixed up 600ml and they are steeping, I hope everything turns out well.
and again THANK YOU
#347 by Galeati, Jun 1. 2017, 10:37
banana cream (TPA) ???? pls answer
#348 by Rampage400, Jun 2. 2017, 03:56
Galeati, in some of the first comments someone said they used banana cream (TPA). And it turned out great, I will also be doing the same when my order comes in, as well as subbing the vc v1 with vc v2 which they also did and had no complaints.
#349 by GalacticResidue, Jun 2. 2017, 17:52
Ya I'm making this lol! I'll also have to use tfa banana cream but I have the rest! Thx for sharing
#350 by adio, Jun 5. 2017, 23:04
I used a banana cream I got from Rockin Drops on Ebay (not realizing that it wasn't LA) and let steep 3 weeks. Took it out for a shake and it smelled so good, I had to drip it on my RDA - delicious!
#351 by Omnify_vaping, Jun 7. 2017, 06:26
Just mixed up 1000mls and it smells so good! Going to let it sit for at least a month and a half before trying it. But I am also going to try to keep a bottle for 5-7 months to see how it compares. Thanks for the recipe, Ill leave another comment in a few months on how its vaping.
#352 by Omnify_vaping, Jun 8. 2017, 22:20
Added 1% of cap super sweet to one bottle and tried it and it's already really good! Once the banana mellows down a bit it'll be an ADV for sure! Thanks for the recipe
#353 by humamk, Jun 17. 2017, 11:16
Can we separate the Bananacream to Banana and Sweet cream from TPA, if yes, what would be percentage
#354 by Malgorath, Jun 21. 2017, 04:47
Mixed with 7% cap custard and 3% inw strawberry shisha instead of cap strawberry, with 0.75% sweetener. Absolutley delicious, you've created a classic my good sir.
#355 by Jack Wonderberg 👓, Jun 27. 2017, 09:21
Hello Sir, THAT is the best dessert juice I had so far! I've done it with your exact recipe and accelerated the steepig a bit with a bottle breathing interval + shaky massage foot-bath method. So it came to it goodness after 2 weeks. I even left my own recipe "childhood" out of my vape for days now...just for your Strawbana Custard. Thank you!
#356 by Nesius, Jul 4. 2017, 11:26
Will this work with banana cream TPA?
#357 by Jabarkwas, Jul 9. 2017, 21:33
One of the best and simple ADV juices out there! Followed the recipe to a T - made 2x 100ml 70/30 3mg bottles. Steeped them for 2 weeks - 1hour hot water bath @ 40C followed by a good shake each day.
#358 by Ken O'Where, Jul 11. 2017, 20:46
Glad you all enjoy and thank you for the comments. :)

@Nesius: I added some comments under the recipe, they should answer your question.
#359 by OldGuyVaper (OGV), Jul 12. 2017, 01:10
@Ken -- Thanx for the extra comments on using TPA BC... I've made a half-dozen batches with TPA and enjoyed it, but found that it began to lose taste after 3 months or so. I'll add the LA BC to my next order...

Still one of my favorites, tho!!!
#360 by Grubby, Jul 15. 2017, 16:29
We need this in the UK lol ;)
#361 by Viscosity, Jul 19. 2017, 19:03
Vaped this alot and its amazing! Thanks for the recipe @ken
#362 by robo juice, Jul 20. 2017, 02:56
The first recipe I made from this site!... What a nice starting point for a noob. Though it may be months or years before I develop a recipe this good... this simple mix inspired my first creation.
#363 by Vasilis, Jul 23. 2017, 14:55
I mix it with TPA and not LA and it still tastes really good! Thanks for sharing.
#364 by RTKabuto, Jul 25. 2017, 03:27
Have this on the sidelines right now.. 60 ml worth... bout sitting for 1 1/2 weeks so far. From the rave reviews on this one, I can't wait to try it out :-D
#365 by Boston, Jul 27. 2017, 17:38
Ladies and gentleman this is the one. I shake and vaped this one and it has a very weird medicinal taste that I can not handle. Very bad to me. But after 30 days, wow. The fruits come out, especially the strawberry and the custard loses that funk medicinal note and you are left with something bomb as fuck. Dank level liquid.
#366 by HBA_Vape, Jul 31. 2017, 00:20
what percentage would you suggest if using TFA banana cream ?
#367 by Ken O'Where, Jul 31. 2017, 21:19
Thanks muchly, vape fam. Glad you are all enjoying it.

@HBA_Vape: I when i subbed it i did so at the same percentage. Just know that it doesnt taste the same, it isnt bad but it isnt as creamy and smooth. The two flavorings are quite different. If you click the blue wrench and go to adaptations you will find many recipes that have subbed TPA BC. Good luck!
#368 by KoreanMoB, Aug 3. 2017, 06:23
Without thinking i mixed 375ml of this stuff exactly how you had it @Ken O'Where. Shaked and Vaped nervous of the custard overload... OMG! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the yummy recipe. Can't wait to see what it does in a month!
#369 by TMGreen23, Aug 3. 2017, 06:44
Have you tried this with 6% nic?
#370 by RTKabuto, Aug 8. 2017, 01:00
can you sub the Vanilla Custard regular will it have the same flavor, or will it have to be the v1?... I just ran out of the v1 is the reason (Blah)
#371 by RedneckVapor304, Aug 13. 2017, 07:09
I don't have LA banana cream I have tag banana cream could I sub with that if so how much would it throw the flavor off and what %
#372 by RedneckVapor304, Aug 14. 2017, 18:44
TFA dang spell check
#373 by Ice, Aug 15. 2017, 00:14
Just awesome. Made several batches. One of my top go to.
#374 by Architect, Aug 21. 2017, 19:35
Made a 240ml, will give a feedback of it. The mix is based on ken's recipe in a little bit for mixing variation, ran out a few ml of vanilla, added other flavors in exchange. Lol. Thanks ken!

PS it'll be steeped for a week, to be tested after 3 days and so on til a week. First mix. :)
#375 by brianh, Aug 23. 2017, 09:12
I used flavor arts red touch instead of sweet straw same %, this recipe is perfect!
#376 by Jhizzle, Aug 25. 2017, 16:48
I've made 3 x 100ml bottles of this so far. They're staggered a month apart so I can always have a perfectly cured bottle to hand! I followed the VC 5.5% version and it's perfect. Such a great recipe!!
#377 by Ken O'Where, Aug 28. 2017, 21:36
RTKabuto: V2 is, in my opinion, absolutely horrible. The levels of butyric acid make it unusable to me BUT there are quite a few people who like it. Ive personally never used it so i cant answer your question but you can lower the amount of custard in the mix, i mixed it at 5% for a long time.

RedneckVapor304: As i said in the notes TPA's Banana Cream is quite different and it will not taste like this recipe but it is still pretty good.

Sorry it took so long for replies, i had a minor surgery two weeks ago then i got sick because hospitals are disgusting, hehe.

Im really glad you all are still enjoying this mix, ive got a batch that is just about ready. >:^)
#378 by zax750, Aug 29. 2017, 21:44
KEN O'WHERE IS THE MFUCKING BOSS...People just mix this recipe...First time i mixed this at 5.5 vc and i thought god damn it wow.This guy made history here peeps! Mixed again yesterday but i thought i could handle more vc!So mixed this at 8% and now steeping.. Ill come back with results!KEN RULES
#379 by DateVapist, Sep 4. 2017, 21:21
Simply amazing
#380 by Suomynona, Sep 8. 2017, 17:48
Has anyone tried to replace the 10% VC with a steeped cream stone (to kinda skip the 1-2 months steeping time? e.g. e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/646266. I always have some of that laying around.
I think I'm going to give this a shot. I feel for it but I really don't want to wait a whole 2 months lol
#381 by Ken O'Where, Sep 9. 2017, 01:25
@Suomynona: Well you could but that banana is a creamy flavor so it would still require curing time. Also one of the strawberries has alcohol in it and needs time for it to evap out. I dont really see any way around the over all curing time of 1-2 months. :( Now with that said i have vaped this after a quick warm up, 90* F but that was a LONG time ago. Once you have it fully cured there is no going back. Hope that helps!

@zax & DV: Many thanks and im glad you enjoy it. :)
#382 by Suomynona, Sep 9. 2017, 13:40
Yeah, I mixed a bottle of this recipe to steep, and a 15ml with the cream base... bad idea, those flavors need time to settle. After a night's steep there's only fruity flavor, no cream and vaping it is giving me a royal headache. I think I'm done trying to find a quick fix for this...
#383 by DDrama, Sep 17. 2017, 21:12
Pretty good after a long steep. Made 1000ml of it. Vaped and gave away most of it. Had a couple bottles left over that I re-visited after 5-6 weeks of steeping and its SOOOO much better! I should of let the whole batch steep a month instead of a couple weeks. A bit of harshness at first but after 5-6 weeks when it gets that golden amber color it really smoothes out and the banana gets a ripe sweet mellow flavor. Will make again! Should be called "Strawnana Patience" lol
#384 by Jubelu, Sep 23. 2017, 06:01
While I'm not usually a big fan of custard recipe, reviews got me to make a 1000ml of it. 70/30 6mg 5.5% custard. It is an all day vape. Its only two weeks old and I can't wait to taste it after a month. I usually prefer fruity flavors without sweeteners, but this one, Mr. Ken O'Where, definetly is a killer. Thanks for this recipe.
#385 by slav3r, Sep 23. 2017, 09:47
hey, i made a 1.2L batch 3 months ago. i made it slightly different due to lack of flavours (4% BC, 6.6% SB ripe, 3% sweet SB and 7.3% VC), so a little bit more SB ripe and less VC. also the banana cream is colored (i know the colorless is much better, but even the colored version was hard to get where i live)
anyway, i saw in the previous comments that sweet SB have alcohol in it...while i was mixing, it was the banana cream which smelled a like alcohol. also it's written on the bottle that it contains ethyl alcohol. the problem is that after 3 months i can still smell it in the mix...it's much better now, but still not the best. still smells like super glue tbh.
by the way storing conditions: glass bottles, no direct sunshine, between 20°C and 30°C...i thought after a couple of months the mix will be ready, but it still doesn't seem like it is.
i poured some juice in a small plastic container (from which i refill my tank), and the smell of alcohol went away after a couple of days. but i don't know if it was due to the breathing or the plastic material of the bottle.
any ideas how i could make the smell go away? thanks in advance.
#386 by Ken O'Where, Sep 26. 2017, 01:41
Glad you are all enjoying it. :)

@slav3r: Perhaps you arent smelling the alcohol? It may be the main component of this particular banana, many of them use it. I only say this because in the many many batches i have made i have not had any issues with alcohol. The % in both of the flavors that contain it are quite low so they evap out rather quickly, a couple weeks. But of course everyone tastes things differently so i am not discounting your observations, im just stumped.

One thing i remember from using the colored version of BC (LA) was that it hurt my chest and tickled my throat after vaping a bit of it. I wish that i could be more helpful, if you have anymore questions feel free to message me on the forums. Im always happy to help when i can.
#387 by slav3r, Sep 27. 2017, 20:18
@Ken O'Where: thank you for your answer.
after breathing it a little (not much, i just popped up one of the bottles for a few seconds every day, so the evaporated alcohol could get out of the empty space of the bottle) the smell seems to be gone.
all of the bottles were hermetically sealed since i made them, so maybe the alcohol wasn't able to dissolve or evaporate and it got stucked in the bottle (the bottles weren't totally full, but almost)
anyhow, i was vaping it all day and it's AWESOME. all of my collegues who also vape asked what kind of juice i'm using because it smells incredible, so a big thumbs up goes to you. thanks for the recipe.
#388 by Bl!x3M, Oct 10. 2017, 18:00
This is a very nice recipe! Can easily vape this all day and not get bored with it.
#389 by VapeUAE, Oct 15. 2017, 06:27
hi there, it seems you created quite a buzz around your recipe, I want to try it so bad, but unfortunately I don't have access to CAP, LA or TPA, as bullcity don't ship to my country. however Hiliq.com does, do you think I can recreate your recipe with HILIQ flavor concentrates? I know you've been asked a ton of questions, so your input on this is highly appreciated.
#390 by Nesius, Oct 15. 2017, 15:09
VapeUAE, No it won't be the same,especially if all the flavours are HILIQ.
#391 by Ken O'Where, Oct 16. 2017, 00:56
@VapeUAE: Yeah, sorry bud but i wouldnt have any idea. HiLIQ was supposed to send me their concentrates for testing last year but they never did so i havent even tried them and dont know who actually makes them to give you a guesstimate. Wish i could be of more help to you.

Glad you all are still enjoying this mix, i stopped vaping it for quite a long while be got rehooked recently. Thanks for the comments. >:^)
#392 by n099j, Oct 17. 2017, 03:22
just made 60ml of this, what would not fit in the bottle i put into a fresh RDA, must say this is going to be an excellent vape in 40 days.

@cincinnatiking: I saw that fella a couple weeks ago and forgot all about mentioning it Wayne and JoJo. I ran a search for one of JoJo's recipes and found it. I aint to sure what can be done outside of talking to the person, id probably be fine with it if they just linked to the original recipes. Thank you kindly for letting me know, i forgot to tell JoJo she is famous, hehe.

I've been looking for a good Strawnana anything and this one looks too yum to pass. Mixed 100ml @ 10% custard and 100ml @ 5.5% off the bat last Thursday. How often do you shake or do you just shake once after mixing and leave it in storage for a month?

Made this now for the 3rd time... 1.5litres! Just cannot go wrong, all-day-everyday :-)
#407 by BulldogIrish, Dec 8. 2017, 15:05
even after 2 days it's so so good! thanks
#408 by Ken O'Where, Dec 13. 2017, 09:42
Thanks, folks. Im glad you all are enjoying it, got my Boreas full of some 2 month old strawnana right now. Ive made several version of this using lower %s, different strawberries/bananas but i still vape this over the others.

And a big thanks to those who have shared their adaptations.
#409 by Paulie V, Dec 25. 2017, 20:07
Waiting on Banana colorless to come in be here Tuesday 12/26 & then mixing exactly as posted. Can hardly wait to mix this baby. I can handle the long steep wait,I know I can,I know I can. Sorry trying to convince myself that I can grit and bare the custard to meld. Lmao
Thanks for sharing, will post my personal palette taste. Believe I'll love it
#410 by Paulie V, Dec 26. 2017, 04:52
Crazy some how got my concentratestoday
#411 by Ken O'Where, Dec 27. 2017, 23:40
@whosyourdaddy: As Tom Petty once said, "The waiting is the hardest part!". hehe. Hope it is worth the wait, for you!
#412 by Paulie V, Dec 28. 2017, 00:11
Haha I hear you Ken
#413 by Eugynn, Dec 30. 2017, 16:22
Thanks Ken for an awesome recipe! To those who just discovered this treasure of a recipe, please please do yourselves a favor and follow the recipe as stated above and let it steep for at least a month. You will not be disappointed. Do not listen to those saying it's nice right after mixing or calling it a shake and vape.
#414 by Mere, Jan 4. 2018, 00:46
I should have left this comment a few months ago but I’ve been too busy enjoying the crap out of your recipe. This is my #1 favorite recipe I’ve come across since I started my DIY journey. Thank you so much for such a solid recipe that never gets old!
#415 by Romainvk, Jan 4. 2018, 11:01
Merci pour cette recette elle est fantastique
#416 by Karl, Jan 5. 2018, 15:05
So Good. 1 of the best. thanks
#417 by Munson, Jan 9. 2018, 14:37
Dam I just ordered my flavors for the month. After seeing all the great reviews I am going to have to try this one sounds delicious.
#418 by Ken O'Where, Jan 17. 2018, 01:19
Thank you all for the kind words. Glad you all still enjoy this vape classic, i got rehooked a few months back. Kind of wish that i hadnt, complacency leads to laziness and i havent really created anything new in awhile.
#419 by Mere, Jan 17. 2018, 08:40
I hear ya Ken. I’m at a point where all the recipes I discovered in the beginning are the only ones I will touch. Anything new I Mix doesn’t taste good to me. I don’t know what my deal is but it sucks.
#420 by Eggsaladsandwichhead, Jan 19. 2018, 06:13
Mixed this back in November and it's very tasty right now! The banana seems faded, but that could be what I'm vaping on. Even so, it's one of the best strawberry custards I've tried DIY'ing or bought!
#421 by Eggsaladsandwichhead, Jan 19. 2018, 06:15
Also, I've been vaping it for hours and no vaper's tongue. I usually have to switch it up to avoid that. REALLY DELICIOUS, every single pull.
#422 by Marcil802, Jan 19. 2018, 21:50
Damn HELP, just finished mixing and I'm short 1% VC V1, what could I do? Add 1% VC v2?, marshmallow, or whatever you guys with experience would do 😣
#423 by Ken O'Where, Jan 19. 2018, 22:02
@Marcil802: Just recalculate for 9% so you yer your VG/PG ratio right. I dont think there will be a lot of difference between 9 and 10% VC V1. Even at 5 or 6% VC V1 it is tasty just not quite as rich. Good luck, hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the comments, all y'all. Glad you enjoy it. >:^)
#424 by lobgo, Jan 24. 2018, 11:38
I just made an account so i can thank you.. this is pure genious, tryed a lot of recepies, but this one, is the bomb :)
#425 by RandyXLT, Jan 24. 2018, 20:14
I really, really, REALLY like this recipe. I played around with it a bit and made something I like even more. Thanks Ken! Check out my recipe and let me know what you think. I have another adaptation I'm working too... version 3.14! I'll publish that one when it's ready.

#426 by Ken O'Where, Jan 24. 2018, 22:08
@lobgo: Thank you for taking the time to do so, i very much appreciate it. :)

@RandyXLT: Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your mix.
#427 by Paulie V, Feb 1. 2018, 00:24
Ken, I posted in the forums that I was finally taking the plunge into my 64 day steep on Strawnana, guess the fever burned a few more brain cells for me. I'm Actually on day 36 of steeping. But went ahead and dripped anyway. And man all I can do is go ahead and mix
& steep 500mls bottle and get it brewing. This custard ain't gonna make my 60 day wait. You were right Tom Petty said it best. I can't wait !!
I may drop the custard down a couple %'s on the next Mix. I Love Love Love this Sucka !!
#428 by Mcclurejacob, Feb 3. 2018, 19:10
So since this recipe requires a long steep does that mean I should let it cure without nicotine and put it in when I am ready to vape it?
#429 by Paulie V, Feb 3. 2018, 19:59
@Mcclurejacob
Personally not 💯% but I made a 500ml a couple of days ago without adding the Nicotine. Seems like if I'm going to add my nicotine this it'll be towards the end of my steep.
My first I made was just a 30 ml with added nic. It's been close to 40 days now and it does seem the Nicotine has diminished slightly.
#430 by Marcil802, Feb 3. 2018, 22:39
@Paulie V what the reason behind adding nicotine toward the end of the steep?
#431 by Paulie V, Feb 3. 2018, 23:06
I want the Nicotine to be as fresh as possible. Especially on a long steeped juice. This juice itself is the absolute best custard vape I've ever had. I also dropped the custard down to 8% only because I feel like I can save a couple more cents. Custard actually should be the same or really Super close to the same custard profile in it
#432 by Marcil802, Feb 4. 2018, 03:50
@Paulie V, I appreciate your answer, but I'm kinda confused tho, don't the steep "resets" when adding new stuff? What exactly needs to steep? Sorry if it's a dumb question but it could be very important for me 🤔
#433 by drhonk, Feb 4. 2018, 16:26
Since LA brand is really hard to get where I'm at, I tried this recipe using what I have, TFA banana cream and instead of sweet strawberry, I used TFA strawberry. All using the same percentage but I cheated on steeping. I used 2 hrs of heated Ultra sonic and stored for 2 days before I gave it a try. I have to say, it's smooth and delicious. I've ordered LA banana cream which should arrive in three days, can't wait to try the original recipe. I'll also try to add a little of marshmallow to the mix to add smoothness and a little sweet. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
#434 by Asylumsix, Feb 8. 2018, 01:17
Another order of flavors to make another liter of this on it's way, thanks for sharing it's delicious.

I use this for personal use only, I mix the liter in 2x 500ml batches one with VC @9% and another with VC @8%, max vg generally a liter of this will last about 6 months, I find after 2.5/3 months it becomes a bit VC dominant which is why I knock it down to 9% and the second batch down to 8% so over the course of the 6 months it remains more or less consistent.
#435 by Paulie V, Feb 11. 2018, 23:02
@Ken_O_Where
I'm running a limitless rdta classic on the postless deck dual 10 wrap ea 3mm inside. Ohms out to .56 ohms 35-40 Watts.
When dripping I'm getting a awesome profile. When RDTA it's like I'm not getting anything at all. Do I need to up total % ? Change PG/VG ratio ? Or what am I doing wrong as far as the RDTA goes.
#436 by Suomynona, Feb 12. 2018, 01:07
@Paulie V
I have the same limitless, don't waste your time with it, it's a terrible rdta. I've tried all kinds of builds in it and I can't get any flavor out of it either while I have no issues with other RDTAs or RDAs.
#437 by Paulie V, Feb 12. 2018, 04:41
Running Goon in single coil, .7 ohms, flavors great @suomynona. I've been doing the same with the limitless. Using all decks, the velocity as a dripper not too bad. But, what recommendations would you suggest as for a inexpensive decent RDTA ? If you don't mind. TIA
#438 by strat, Feb 12. 2018, 12:45
Paulie I have a limitless, used it once, no flavor. for an rtda that's good, avocado, used one for two years straight, loved it until I found the kayfun 5, that's all i use now.
#439 by BulldogIrish, Feb 12. 2018, 19:37
I normally run a dead rabbit RDA single coil.. But... I do have a candy cape kylin and it's a great rdta for when you need a tank the flavor is great check it out.. It even comes with 2 size glasses one is like 4 or 5 no and like a 8 or 10..
#440 by BulldogIrish, Feb 12. 2018, 19:45
Hey @ken o' ware... What do ya think about using banana cream (tpa)? Also do you or anyone else here get the strawberry cap die out? I was considering subbing for juicy strawberry to make the strawberry last... Opinions please.. I can order La banana cream if ya think it makes it that much different thanks :)
#441 by Paulie V, Feb 12. 2018, 20:40
@Strat @BulldogIrish I appreciate the input, Project for tonight going to read and watch videos. Yeah I bought 2 limitlesses long ago, price was crazy inexpensive. But I'm glad I only bought 2 & not several. Guessing why they were both so inexpensive. Goon 1.5 (I believe it is) lots of room for fairly large surface area. Been using all types of pre made coils. Except for SS, only due to don't care for temp. But, from what I'm understanding I don't need temp control. I can use Watts. So I should be able to do a 10-12 wrap SS and heat up pretty quickly. Am I understanding one benefit of using surface area, higher ohms, heats up fast and lots of surface area for dripping or RDTA (other than the limitlesses)
#442 by Samoya, Feb 20. 2018, 09:10
Absolutely sensational followed the recipe exactly steeped for a month as advised perfect beautiful tasty
Thankyou for sharing your work
#443 by StiVi, Feb 20. 2018, 16:29
I have to admit, at first i did not like this recipe atl all... Even after 2 week steep. So I threw that 10ml bottle in drawer and forgot about it.
I have come across the same bottle after almost 2 months and this is DELICIOUS!

This recipe really needs TIME to really shine
#444 by Munson, Feb 23. 2018, 00:14
Finally ordered Lorann banna cream. I mixed up 180ml see how it is in a month. Hoping for the best since I mixed so much.
#445 by TwinsWin, Feb 23. 2018, 03:38
I can't get into this one. I think I need to try a different banana cream or something. LA's doesn't taste good to me.
#446 by Ken O'Where, Feb 28. 2018, 17:17
@TwinsWin: Sorry that you didnt enjoy it, ive tried BC TPA and am not a fan. I find that BC TPA works best with bakeries while this one is better with fruits but of course not everyone will say the same so dont hesitate to give it a try if you are still interested in the flavor profile.
#447 by izzuddin tajudin , Mar 8. 2018, 06:38
Hi Ken, i don't have any sweet Strawberry, can i use strawberry ripe at 7% , and add some sucralose to get the sweet taste?
#448 by DuDu, Mar 11. 2018, 23:25
This is good but after 2 months the strawberry is gone
#449 by Real_Chemist, Mar 13. 2018, 04:18
Very good, first diy and was surprised it was so delicious
#450 by GratefulVapor, Mar 14. 2018, 18:54
Wow i have been making this with Banana split, peanut butter, Strawberry and other variations for YEARS!!! SAME NAME LOL DAMMIT I KNEW IT WAS KY ADV FOR A
#451 by Munson, Mar 20. 2018, 20:50
So after about a month it is very good. Strong on the banna but good. I will be making some more.
#452 by Paulie V, Mar 20. 2018, 21:40
@Ken_O_Where
Stalking !!! How did the RF SC adaption turn out ? Been messing with RF SC myself. Only SF testing ATM @ 3% mighty strong for sure.
#453 by Benoz, Mar 21. 2018, 11:19
Wow this is great have vaped over 300ml and still love it
#454 by southwestbean1, Mar 28. 2018, 22:40
awesome
#455 by askergg, Apr 1. 2018, 15:44
Gonna be honest with you. This recipe blow me away. The amount of custard is just right. Maybe the strawberry is not that strong, but that's very known problem with TPA straw ripe. Thanks for sharing mate
#456 by saudsss, Apr 1. 2018, 20:01
@Ken O'Where Thanks for the recipe. I have a question my nicotine is 200mg strength and 100% PG, how to use this recipe?
#457 by Asylumsix, Apr 1. 2018, 21:41
@Saudsss Hover your mouse over the little wrench at the top and click adapt. :)
#458 by urgn, Apr 5. 2018, 09:59
After two weeks of steep in a glass bottle smells like plastic.
#459 by Having fun, Apr 6. 2018, 04:19
@ken O'Where. Can I use FA vinella custard instead of CAP or will it change the taste@
#460 by Kamax, Apr 22. 2018, 04:04
I mixed it in November, I'm vaping it now, and it is delicious. Thank you!
#461 by Asylumsix, Apr 24. 2018, 07:16
Welp this sure is popular among my friends, one liter of it gone in under 3 months...

Only had enough supplies to make 500ml more :/ oh welp cutting my friends off of this batch..
#462 by Vapedontsmoke, Apr 24. 2018, 21:30
Two weeks in and it's a very nice indeed. Now thinking of mixing up another .5L so I have the chance of trying it vintage as i dont think first batch going to last very long. It's thick rich and flavoursome using 9 wraps of 430 3mm coming out at .5ohms in a narda. Highly recommended for custard heads like myself. BIG Thanks to Ken for sharing ;-)
#463 by Ken O'Where, May 1. 2018, 08:36
@Having fun: To be honest i cant answer that question, ive not tried it. Click that there blue wrench, adapt and give it a go and let us all know how it is. Feel free to post a link here if you do so. Good luck!

Glad you are all enjoying it. Ive changed the way i vape in the years since i made this. I now make a base (blue wrench one shot) and mix it between 10.5-12%.
#464 by Zugmaschine, May 3. 2018, 22:04
@TWO I made today 50ml exactly like your recipe. Above u wrote in a comment that you drop down the % to 15% because your wife vape it MTL. Iam also a MTL-Freak. So u think its better to decrease the % for MTL?
I also think about to make a second batch with 1% or 2% Cream Milky Undertone(ooo) or TPA Sweet Cream, to make tht custard a little more milkier. Do u think the Banana & strawberry will get to weak, with that tweak or it will change the Profile to much?
#465 by John, May 11. 2018, 08:20
just found a bottle that I mixed up and forgot about (200ml) in my wardrobe lol talk about smooth as silk really really good at 7 months :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/27klku198u8h3l3/Strawnana.jpg?dl=0
#466 by Asylumsix, May 11. 2018, 08:30
@John, yeah this recipe does great over time, I mix 500ml at a time.
#467 by VapeHen, May 14. 2018, 00:44
Did it with Banana Split (CAP) and Vanilla Custard (TPA) and it's great but steeping it for too long makes the strawberry disappear
#468 by VapeHen, May 14. 2018, 00:45
My mix was 75/25 3.6mg 100ml
#469 by Astur, Jun 15. 2018, 00:51
My first custard and very happy with it
#470 by Tiner361, Jun 18. 2018, 01:02
Very good! Banana is very enjoyable in this.
#471 by jamesfo0, Jun 18. 2018, 03:58
So i finally got lor banana cream in and used that in the mix instead of dx banana cream and tpa banana cream and I have to say i like those better than this. It tastes like i'm vaping johnson and johnson baby shampoo or something
#472 by Zugmaschine, Jun 18. 2018, 22:41
I have a 50ml Batch, whitch is steeping since 6 Weeks now. I want vape it in 2 Weeks. Is it better to add some strawberry now, because much comments sa, that the Strawberry is muted after this long steep?
#473 by L3ctric, Jun 20. 2018, 22:42
I have made a couple mixes of this and it is still good, even though old. It needs a long steep, as you say, and I prefer the lower custard version ... Keep up the great work ...
#474 by lukiane, Jul 13. 2018, 23:46
i taste only banana in this, strawberry is muted and custard is not at point.
#475 by Ken O'Where, Jul 14. 2018, 00:28
@lukiane: Perhaps it is because you didnt use the same flavorings, the version you made is basically a different recipe. Also, i read your comment on MUM, maybe strawberry ripe is an issue for you as it is with some other folks. Some people have a problem tasting/smelling certain strawberry flavors, it doesnt end there either as i have read some folks cant really taste certain blueberry flavorings as well.

Just some thoughts that might help you in your future mixing. Holler at me on the forums if i can ever help. Happy mixing!
#476 by Matty West 16, Jul 21. 2018, 22:20
awesome
#477 by Dreadpirate Snuffles, Jul 23. 2018, 06:03
Ive tinkered with this and found I prefer this with much reduced VC1, around 5%, and 1% TPA Dragonfruit. Im gonna try messing around with different fruits now, such as subbing mango for the strawberry- maybe 2% FLV Mango and 3% CAP Sweet Mango
#478 by Ken O'Where, Jul 23. 2018, 23:17
@Dreadpirate Snuffles: I mix a base and use it at 10% these days. I still mix it at full strength for the wife as she vapes at a much lower power than me.

I think i might be the only mixer than doesnt like TPA DF. Kind of weird as my favorite energy drink mix is DF and it tastes similar. I like the mango combo thoughts, let me know how that turns out, if you have the time and happen to remember.
#479 by Ken O'Where, Jul 25. 2018, 23:03
There was a fella that asked why i didnt like TPA DF but the question is gone.

Answer: It has been a few years since i used it but it gave me a weird tickle at the back of my throat and in my chest. I only have three recipes in my old notebook from when i tested it and one is a single flavor mix.

I added TPAs and FLVs to my order list, reckon ill give them a try again. Sorry that i didnt get back to you when you had the question posted, yesterday was nutsville in my house. :)
#480 by Asylumsix, Jul 26. 2018, 03:04
Grape Juice TPA + DF TPA = Delicious :)
#481 by Patman, Jul 26. 2018, 08:10
I made up a 120ml of this at 8% custard, broke it open after a month and wow, it went fast. instantly made a 360ml, good recipe thank you for sharing!
#482 by Ken O'Where, Jul 26. 2018, 08:43
Glad you enjoyed it, Patman. >:^)

@Asylumsix: Maybe a little Cranberry FLV in there too.
#483 by mraontheway, Aug 30. 2018, 13:53
strawberry go away after 3 week step and cream clogs the taste of a banana but this recipe still good. thx.
#484 by Dutchy, Sep 8. 2018, 11:27
Holy moly three days and this is amazing got help me in one to two months
#485 by JAPE, Sep 9. 2018, 03:51
Incredible. its so good as a shake and vape. I love banana but its always too strong in every recipe i find. this one is light. the strawberry is there. but the custard is the star of the show. this recipe is simple yet AMAZING
#486 by Tacofiller, Sep 16. 2018, 23:38
Absolutely delicious! Thank you
#487 by Marlene DeGrood, Sep 20. 2018, 21:11

#491 by JeanNe, Nov 29. 2018, 06:27
Has anyone test this recipe before and what do you think about it I want to make a strawberry banana custard

I have vanilla custard v2
Banana cream tfa

Will this work and if so please help me how can I adjust % if needed
#492 by Kenaloo, Dec 5. 2018, 13:02
Really nice!!!! :)
#493 by steve - uk, Jan 1. 2019, 23:43
21% flavour - tastes like a chemical overload. Its pants people and a fake recipe. Made it twice - just tried the bottle i made on Oct 30th. Cleaned the sink out a treat.
#494 by tarnishedhalo, Jan 17. 2019, 21:00
Delicious and well balanced even after a one week steep. Can't wait to see how this evolves as it ages. Thanks Ken!
#495 by lukiane, Feb 8. 2019, 19:13
hi, anyone tried to adopt this recipe to nic salt? like i want to make it 50/50 pg/vg ratio and with 30mg for my pod device. would it be as good as it is right now?
#496 by hussam, Apr 9. 2019, 23:18
thanks its Excellent
#497 by Marlena, Apr 11. 2019, 23:41
I was really expecting more from this recipe. Although it's not bad, it's not as good as I had hoped. But keep in mind, taste is subjective. And I'm really picky.
#498 by Kingmanu23, May 3. 2019, 10:20
I only have tfa strawberry can i use that instead of cap sweet strawberry?
#499 by Henning, Jul 6. 2019, 08:40
Nice one. Thanks
#500 by Kingmanu23, Jul 25. 2019, 14:34
I have tpa vanilla custard and capella vanilla custard v2. Which of the two are more similar to capella vanilla custard v1?
#501 by sed, Aug 29. 2019, 04:22
I mix this with the flavor total at 15%. Awesome flavor!!! Thank you!!!
#502 by Curtis, Dec 2. 2019, 20:42
This is really good!!
#503 by Saeel, Feb 11. 2020, 13:27
One of the best !
#504 by Mad-Daddy Hoffman, Feb 25. 2020, 06:46
Very good! This was one of the first DIY recipes I found that actually worked for me, and it might just be the reason I didn’t go back to smoking. I’ve been mixing this for over a year, and I know its always going to be there for me if I need it. Thank you!
#505 by Rossh, Mar 19. 2020, 09:29
Having trouble finding Banana Cream (Colorless) (LA) in the UK.
Could it be subbed with DX BANANA CREAM FLAVOURED FLAVOUR Apprentice?
Really want to try this recipe.
#506 by Asylumsix, May 29. 2020, 05:54
@Rossh

The Banana Cream Clear is more of a Candy banana flavour, not sure about DX hope this helps.
#507 by JMWPremium, Jun 13. 2020, 00:05
Still enjoying this 6-2020
#508 by Tyrell, Jan 1. 2021, 05:52
This is seriously good stuff. I'm new to mixing and don't have LA Banana Cream, only TFA/TPAs so I read every single last comment and tweaked it to my liking based on said comments.
Custard - Dropped to 8%
TFA/TPA Banana Cream - Upped to 5.50%
Strawberry Ripe - Upped to 5%
Sweet Strawberry - Upped to 4.50%

It's👌🏼even after only 28 or so hours, I can't lay off of it so I made another 120mLs to steep for a month
#509 by Your Mum, Jan 26. 2021, 07:51
If I were to make this with FA custard premium instead of Cap V1 what percentages would you recommend ? Thanks
#510 by TrevaSsanta, Feb 17. 2021, 01:34
its awesome
#511 by IxnayOnTheOhmbray, Jul 5. 2021, 05:42
Tested after 2 month steeping and almost completely muted flavour, would this be better with reduced flavour total on todays gear as opposed to what was used in 2016?
#512 by Faraan, Aug 27. 2021, 21:09
Can I use the non colorless version of the la Banana cream
#513 by jimr, Dec 24. 2021, 16:24
This has been a favorite of mine for years. TYVM bro. Only thing I add is Super Sweet.
#514 by fraud0, Jan 26. 2022, 01:34
I made this with
DX Banana Cream (TFA) 2.50%
Banana Custard (VTA) 3%
and Daveberry trinity (INW Shisha SB 3%, FA Red touch 2%, SB Sweet JF 1.5%)

So bloody delicious!! but it was very heavy banana custard which is not really a negative.

Going to try upping the trinity stone and reduce steep time.

Thank you all for the comments and support over the years, crazy to see people still enjoying this classic. I still mix this, from time to time, and vape it in a Novo 2 with a Novo 1 1.2ohm pod.

So what are your favorite recipes these days @kenowhere?
#517 by Ken O'Where, May 12. 2022, 05:13
@BklynGoldie: Well, these days i dont get stuck on things and dont really have any ADVs. At this point i can just grab flavors and throw together something worth vaping a 30ml. I also mix a lot of other peoples recipes. I have a billion flavors so i just grab some and start mixing.

With that said, my favorite mix lately has been Lemon Pound Cake: tjek.nu/r/EWHn

I have so many versions of it but this one has been a favorite for awhile now. I just like to vape something different all the time, it brings me to the mixing table much more often. I post a lot of the mixes on the forums so hop on over and holler sometime. >:^)

Ohhh!! Mierda, en vez de añadir 0,90 de fresa dulce he añadido 1,20. Espero no haber estropeado la receta. Eso sí, he usado de TPA el banana cream, sweet strawberry y strawberry ripe, y el Vanilla custard V2 de CAP. PD: Soy nuevo, esta es mi 6 receta de alquimia.

I don't have enough banana cream to make this. I do however have plenty of Cap banana. What would I mix with that to make my own banana cream as close as possible to the LA banana cream ? I'm not brand picky just wasn't sure what cream to use.

Im not a banana vape fan but had to give it a go. It is unbelievable!!!
Tried after 2 weeks, it was decent, forgot about it and rediscovered after 2 months. This juice is just awesome. Not an ADV for me, more of a special occasion vape. It just rocks after dinner and after lunch and is a great dessert juice. Thank you very much for sharing this simple masterpiece.
