Custard question

[MrDJ]

Ive got around 250ml of custard that ive had for quite a while but its lacking in creaminess.
now normally i would just dump it and move on but as its custard id rather sell a kidney or a child (if i had one) before i dump it.
so, i gave up mixing 4 years ago but still kept 100ml capp v1 and 60ml Fa vanilla custard concentrate which is well out of date by 2-3 years but exactly the same colour as the day i bought them.. I also have some devon cream from cup cake but thats totally black so i guess time to dump.
If i wanted to give the custard a helping boost of flavour in a full 60ml bottle (1) how many drops would you add and (2) would you use capp v1, Fa or both.
Thanks in advance mixers.

I suppose you dont want to be buying any concentrates, but i would go for ccw (now flavour world) devon cream, at 1.5- 2%. Not sure I would use the capella but if you have the FA Custard Premium (?) rather than the lemony FA Custard (Crema Pasticcera) i would use the Premium at 3 - 4%, not used it in years but it was quite creamy as I recall.

Just weighed a ml of liquid from a standard 30ml concentrate bottle, it was 40 drops to 1ml (1 gram). For 60 ml i would add around 80 drops which would equate to roughly 3.3% ish of the chosen concentrate.

Brill, Cheers @andipandi exactly what i was after.
i wont be buying any more as dont think ill ever mix again and as said sadly the ccw devon cream is black. and yes its the FA custard premium i have.
will break it down from your numbers to try a 10ml bottle first.
cheers bro.

sorry @andipandi but another question if i may sir.

another day another custard
bought some goose juice 250ml one shots kit of elfc and its rather nice after 3 weeks so will only get better.
problem is it comes with 100vg nic shots and final mix is 85vg/15pg which is too thick for me.
i want to buy another 500ml but want to swap out the 100vg shots for 70vg shots i bought from lucemill.
question is what will be the final ratio using four 70/30 shots instead of the 100vg supplied.
my head is just scrambled and i cant work it out.
you can tell me to bogof if you like but if you do ill only want to know where i can buy one get one free

im calming down a bit on my custard purchases lately.
in the last 3 weeks ive got 500ml drip drop
300ml monsta vape
250ml goose juice and 500ml more if i can thin it out a bit.
thats august sorted

Is the juice 70/30 to start with?

no its a concentrate in a 250ml bottle and you get the nic shots and vg to mix. but the final mix it makes it 85vg.

Tried a load of them, mostly far too sweet for my tastes, favourites are Manabush's Powwow Sauce and Flavour Cravers Welsh Custard, their Jam Roly Poly comes very close too.
