Capella Vanilla Custard (Version 1) continues to be our most popular flavour concentrate. In our opinion, this is the finest vanilla custard flavour on the market today because it is truly authentic. A rich creaminess and just the right amount of vanilla combine together to make this Capella concentrate the most delectable of custards.
Capella concentrates are among the world’s finest and enjoy a well deserved reputation among DIY vapers. The Capella name is world renowned for providing a huge variety of great tasting flavours, which are produced with the finest ingredients at their manufacturing facility in California, USA. All Capella flavour concentrates conform to the strictest standards of quality and purity enforced by the State of California.
Mixing Guide
Capella’s Vanilla Custard is great on its own, mixed anywhere between 10% and 20%. The full strength, however, takes a few weeks to steep and really come through – so initially less is more.
The quality of this custard really shines when blended with other flavours. Even mixed at very small percentages it has the quality of rounding other flavours and adding depth and creaminess.
Recipe Ideas
A great starting point is a Strawberry Custard using:
10% Capella Sweet Strawberry (New RF)
5% Capella Vanilla Custard (V1)
The combination of the sharp sweet strawberry and the creamy custard is a great all day vape, reminiscent of adding a dollop of jam into your custard as a treat.
For a softer strawberry, Flavour Apprentice Strawberry (Ripe) works well, but you may have to lower the custard percentage as it may overpower the strawberry.
This custard also works well with many other fruit flavours. Our personal favourites include Capella Apple Pie (V2), TFA Blueberry (Wild), and Inawera Lemon.
You can also add a few percent of Vanilla Custard to TPA Cheesecake (Graham Crust) or Capella New York Cheesecake to really round off the flavours and add more depth. Or combine with the fruit flavours as well for a multitude of cheesecakes.
These are just our rough ideas and the results from experimenting and we are sure you have your own great recipes including Vanilla Custard V1.
Feel free to add in the comments below any of your favourite recipes or tweaks to the ones above. We love to hear from you.
Ingredients
Artificial flavours, Propylene Glycol, Water.
The v2 version, which is diketone (acetoin, diacetyl and acetyl propionyl) free can be found here.
Notes
- This is a concentrated flavouring to be mixed in a DIY e-liquid. It is not to be vaped without diluting.
- We suggest mixing most Capella concentrates at approximately 15% initially and then adjusting to your personal taste.
- All of the Capella concentrates are PG based.
- We buy gallon sizes directly from Capella (in the USA) and rebottle them into 10ml, 100ml and 500ml bottle sizes here in the UK.
- There can be noticeable colour differences between different batches of the same flavour. This is a natural result of the flavour manufacturing process.

eh first time diy so… tasted okay…
Jeff Douglas –
Nice on its own or mixed with other flavours, this beats all the other wishy washy custards out there.
Beefy –
Perfect as a standalone or mixer. I use it at 15% on it’s own, has a slightly caramel flavour to it. I also add a little sweetener (10-15 drops per 50ml) just cause i like things swet! I never buy less than 100ml as it will be used straight away and for everything!!
mitchell manaton –
I’ve been vaping for 10 years and been vaping this for so long that I’m completely immune to it’s taste! Shame because I miss it
Geegee73 –
One of the best out there .gors great with sugar cookie 2% and a little Newyork cheesecake.hreat on its own to.always rotate this flavour daily
John Dyason –
Very nice custard flavour needs time to get the best from it two weeks or more if you can wait goes great with some caramel dx and some creams to make a nice caramel custard mix but in low amounts can be used to add body to a mix ?✌ Don’t smoke vape
Adam Boulton –
Lovely custard, needs a while to steep to bring it out fully, added 2% cap hazelnut to a mix and gone through 4 tanks since making it, mixed with French vanilla, New York cheesecake and marshmallow to sweeten, shake and vape for me
Kris watts –
This is the best custard on the market it’s in nearly ever mix I make at different % depending on how I use it in fact I think I only make about 5 recipes that this is not in buy it mix it vape it
geidorei –
Excellent custard – mixed at 10% (in the end…), anything above and it’s way too strong and end up coughing.
nospamplease.pw –
This has a great taste, but I generally go for the V2 with a touch of sweet cream or Vanilla Bean ice cream to avoid the nasties. Both this and V2 do need a good steep. Don’t expect them to reach their best for at least 3 weeks.
garethshelley91 –
nice and creamy
Ashley –
just the dogs B******
d.baldry –
Best custard flavour I’ve tried! Used at 15%
Alan –
I could not do without this custard, miles ahead of the rest and used in most of the big recipes you will come across – this needs a steep like all custards but it time it is outstanding!!!
jeffy447 –
Amazing. Deffo one for the kit bag. Mix with at least 10% as there’s not much flavour below that.
Scott –
My second favourite custard always in my stash
Zafir –
Vanilla is overpowering. Can’t vape it for too long. I’ll try the other variants of this.

☺
Andrew –
Best Custard i have tried, next day delivery, cant ask for more. I use it in 60vg/40vg at 15% flavour. Second 100ml on order within a week due to friends asking for my mix
Michael –
I have tried a few custard flavours: FA,PA,FW,t-juice etc. IMHO Nothing comes close to this, especially after steeping. V2 IMO is not as good as V1. This is my favourite single flavour, period.
conor2819 –
FINALLY!! I’ve searched and scorched the planet for a REALLY good Vanilla Custard. This is by far the nicest out there, and I’ve tried a lot. Almost as good as Digby’s (DMC)…..Almost.
Aidan –
Great as always.
Christian –
With out a doubt the best custard concentrate to use in all your mixes. A must buy for anyone mixing there own liquids. Bravo capella
Clamed –
Prefect taste for mixing with fruit
Jeff –
How much % of this concentrate should I put in the mix?
David –
I will try my best to SAY how AMAZING this custard is… BY far the BEST EVER custard i have ever tasted… If anything deserves a prize this Custard does. Simply outstanding taste
Chris –
This makes it in to nearly all my mixes. Best custard flavour for my tastebuds – preferred over V2.
Thomas –
Love vanilla custard, I’m not sure what the difference is between V1 and V2 but this one still does the trick and still gets 5 stars.
Pete –
Can’t get enough of this one mixed at 12% 70/30 3mg as I prefer my taste buds to work to figure the taste which is more enjoyable on the inhale and exhale, rather than get punch in the face by flavour. Fast Steeped for 72 hours on the radiator and topped up in the tank with maybe something like blueberry jam or strawberry. The packaging and quality and speedy delivery is the best I’ve had yet from a vape shop.
Simon –
WOAH! this is amazing! it works great alone and great with fruits & deserts! I found that 15% was about right.
orangebox321 –
great custard flavour by capella, grreat with some ripe strawberry from TPA and a little sweet cream all day vape heaven 🙂
bjhowarth.bh –
Good for making a cream soda
stelios.no.mercy –
probably the best custard out there
Gareth –
Good flavor from this key using at 8% though and mixing with some strawberrys.
jack –
Really nice base for most fruity liquids a*
Dean –
smooth vape, would deffo recocomend steeping it first to get a more stronger flavour, my only problem was it didn’t seem strong enough against flavours such as raspberry otherwise this is a nice vape.
ryan.perrett –
Wow wow wow that is all
Chichieun –
Beautiful Custard Recipe, which Vapes Beautifully Straight Away or can be steeped to allow more depth and intensity, I also mised with FA-Blueberry and it works a Dream 😉
Robert –
Should be renamed Uber Custard. strongest custard flavour i’ve had. good on its own or mixed with other flavours.
rcp1981 –
FINALLY A GREAT CUSTARD………. THANKS
pblampitt –
best custard yet i mixed at 15% 70/30 great to mix with other flavours
doug –
The best custard to use! Amazing flavour
jakesamuels1 –
The best custard concentrate and my number 1 flavour – prefer to mix at 15% as a single flavour or lower if mixing with other flavours
shaun –
can’t leave this alone needs a good steep
Michalis –
MUST HAVE! Much better than the TPA Vanilla Custard and has an amazing flavor
justin –
Simply just the best custard can’t get enough of this and vapable are brilliant well priced and quick delivery
Christopher –
Quite simply the best Vanilla Custard I have used. It has been my ADV for the last 6 months. I started vaping to rid my addiction of smoking, only to become addicted to VC V1 😀 Amazing. 5 Stars.
Aidan –
Simply lovely, and the best flavour for recovering bad blends.
Lennylund –
This has become my favorite flavor, i love Vanilla Custard.
Brian –
Great taste with bluberry.
Joe –
Really nice at 12% mixed with brown sugar and butter cream!
xxlowkeyxx786 –
Amazing vanilla custard! Certainly the best I’ve tried thus far.
John –
Very nice, just ordered some more. Can wait for it to steep.
auralvirus –
LOVE IT. ADV 24/7. I prefer V1 over V2 (and you probably will too) even though V2 is similar it loses the buttery undertone which makes V1 so glorious.
Szabolcs –
yep, agree, the best custard out there. It is very popular and is a must for every diyer
Jennifer –
This is a quality custard flavour. It has great depth, although I still need to steep some properly (as opposed to speed steeping) to give it a real chance to shine. Tried this with some caramel and it was amazing with just a bit of warming and shaking.
Keith –
What can i say!!! Nothing even come close to this, it’s the best custard there is “PERIOD”
Chris –
I took the advice of a much more experienced diy-er and added this to my monthly order, OMG!!! How I’ve gone so long without this being a staple flavour I’ve no idea!! I’ve been using cheaper custards from elsewhere thinking they’ll do the job as its only a background flavour after all. How wrong was I!!!! This custard is a standalone flavour and the BEST addition to any dessert or berry flavour you have. Having tried it now, it will be the FIRST flavour on any order for me
Stefan –
A must have for every DIY vape kit. buy more than one bottle ;p
joseph –
The best custard by far ,lovely as a stand alone at 13%,but even nicer mixed with strawberry and a touch graham cracker,mmmmmm
alex_bbb123 –
probably the best custard and probably my most used concentrate.
Alim –
Outstanding vanilla cream flavor, noticed the flavor comes out better on a lower watts settings.
Jay –
Great custard flavour straight off the mix at 13% gonna be hard to let this one steep !
mark –
has the edge over other custards though @ a price!, never tried v2 yet though perfectly happy with v1
dean_jensen –
just echoing what everyone else here has said – this custard is PERFECT. mixed 100ml up earlier @ 13% 30PG/70VG and hot water bathed for 4-5 hours and it’s delicious already.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to leave this alone until it’s fully steeped.
Gail –
The best custard
nelitko –
the vape concentrate of all vape concentrates…i dont think i ever had any other flavour longer than this one….
Jason –
Very nice custard i mix this at 10% with a clapton coil in subtank mini and its taste brilliant! Best custard out there! I would give this a 5 star if it had no diktones.
Also a big thanks to vapable with speedy next day delivery! Glad i found this vender.
Paul –
This is the BEST custard, no other flavouring even touches this
mark –
probably the best custard though @ a price compared with others, I have PA custard steeping ATM & seems like it’ll be nice also yet far cheaper
ashley.mg.watts –
One of, if not the best Vanilla Custard you can get. It can standalone but it shines in blends. Lends well to fruited custards and can be blended to a vanilla heavy custard very easily. Does need good steeping to bring it to its best. I’m a TFA fan but I have to admit this out shines TFA by a country mile!
Charles –
So so nice! Exactly as it says, no flaws at all. Steep to get the best results (obviously) but I’ve been using it un steeped and it’s still flawless!
leescaife321 –
simply the best custard out there
Stewart –
Great custard flavour – the best I’ve tried. Intrigued to try V2 as well now to see which I prefer. This’ll be the base for a LOT of my mixes from now on.
mohsinmalikuk –
capella custard is sooooooooo deliciious. I really can’t get enough. so creamy and sweet.mmmmm
mark.ml1 –
The old favourite i normally mix with other ingredients this is superb.
David –
A lovely smelling and tasting custard. Mixed at 15% with 2% dulche de leche makes for a lovely caramel type custard
Ian –
Best custard your can get. Nuff said!
chevy121 –
The king of custardy custardness is Capella`s V1 surely?
Well yes it is but don`t call me Shirley.
Needs steeping and don`t mix it too strong, I find a ratio of approx 12.2999999999% or thereabouts is spot on.
Thank you Capella for producing this magnificent custard and thank you Vapable.com for selling it so cheaply.
denys –
I love custard, who doesn’t, but this was a disapiontment. I’ve tried untold amounts of different custards and none do it for me, must be my taste buds I guess
Simon –
Now this is my absolute favourite concentrate. It really does taste and smell perfect. Ticks all the boxes 🙂
nelitko –
just received my order and started sniffing the bottles for the flavors , gotta say, i was surprised. cant wait to start making and vaping them, vanilla custard seems to be my favourite…..top quality !!!
rachel –
Best of all the custards! Steep for 2 weeks and the creaminess really comes through
Ismaeel –
probably the best vanilla custard on the market, highly reccomended
Aydan –
It’s creamy, sweet, and custardy gang – a great concentrate! Happy vaping x
ajay –
A very nice creamy custard the best one I have tried so far.
