Profile: A thick, sweet and creamy Vanilla Custard that produces dense flavorful clouds. This is my take on Vapetasia's Killer Kustard.
The body: The TPA Vanilla Custard and CAP Vanilla Custard v2 are the dominant flavors here with a little added TPA Vanilla Swirl to really maximize Vanilla. The TFA Bavarian Cream was added to simulate the dense creamy mouth feel of a true Custard.
Supporting flavors: The combination of CAP New York Cheese Cake v2, CAP Vanilla Cupcake v2 and TFA Sweetener add a layer that resembles a cake batter in taste and texture. It is noticeable on the inhale but much more present on the exhale.
Steep time: This mix doesn't really come to life until at least 1 week. The Vanilla will be quite strong until then. The depth of flavor and mouth feel need a full months steep to really develop and it continues to improve for a few more months. (If you can wait that long)

Yes, v1 will add a bit more richness but it's not really that noticeable.. To be honest, this recipe has enough of the delicious bad stuff from the TPA Bavarian Cream and Vanilla Custard. Most of the flavor comes from those two and the Vanilla Swirl.
@louiesquared Thanks for responding. I have heard people say that the V2 can taste bad sometimes because of Butyric Acid. I went ahead and made it with all V1, and it has been steeping for like four days. I'll try it after a week just to see how it's coming along. Then I'll wait three more weeks. How accurate would you say it is to the original? Obviously, it is your take on it, but I was wondering if you've tried them side by side and compared how close your recipe is to the original.
In my opinion it is really close. I did vape them side by side and while it's not exact, I feel that it is close enough and very enjoyable. I have a few coworkers that love the stuff. I hope you find it as good as I do.
Been trying to clone KK too. Haven't mixed yours yet but thanks for switching me on to the Vanilla Cupcake - it gives that interesting slightly fruity twang on the exhale. I was thinking it was pineapple for a while! I'm also getting good results limiting the other ingredients to Cap VC1 and TFA Whipped Cream (I'm pretty sure there's a hefty dose of that in the original). And also the original clearly has some sweetener, which I see you've added in your v2!
its funny that i like to blend some of these in my custard blend myself with the exception of a couple different manufacturers. slightly different ratios of course but at least ive been doing something right. I ought to seriously give these ratios a shot and pick up some of capellas cheesecake, as mine will still be different.
Bavarian cream is an English custard so you could get away with using extra in place of custards that you may not have substitutes for. I rather like it because it can give sugarlips at moderate concentrations.
Really great recipe! Nice thick inhale with full rich flavored exhale. I mixed as listed, also wondering about using CAP VC1 and TFA VC2. Will try a modification here and there, but its great as it is! Thank you for this recipe!
Glad you like it Troy. I am playing around with TFA VC 2 in this recipe and am leaning towards leaving it at the same % as the v1. It is different but not so much that it is obvious right away. I haven't tried CAP VC v1
I try to stay away from DAP when possible.
