Try Enchanted Velium Bits. (2 pieces of velium + voldain velium temper + enchant velium spell scroll) - they triv at 222, and I had the most remarkable luck skilling up on them.
Also, I found that doing short sessions here and there is WAY better than long streaks.
From memory, my recent smithing runs, doing EVBs:
25 combines: 214,215,216
9 combines: 213
8 combines: 211,212
18 combines: 210
12 combines: 209
That is 8 skillups on last 72 combines. I went 198-207 on EVBs as well, averaging one skillup per ~15 combines.
Essentially, having some free time, I'd go to Crystal caves, and slaughter orcs. Any gems, vendorbait and velium weapons, I stash too, and sell them at in-zone dorftown as space grows short. In about an hour, I'll usually have enough velium for 10-15 combines - and have made enough cash to cover temper and scroll costs. So essentially, it's a no-cost skillup route for me. Unfortunately, after another 6 skillups, I'll have to switch to something else.
For the record, at 207, I made a sweep through bazaar, buying up all LDoN temper components costing less than 30pp, ending up with enough for 60 combines - and did all 60 at once. That stint cost me over 2kpp, and earned me one lousy skillup.
