After wading through the vast wasteland that is the clone thread on ECF, we've decided that what is needed is a clone thread done right. This thread will be policed for proper content and posts not meeting the criteria will be deleted. That said, here's some rules:
- Top level posts must be a clone recipe that you have personally made and tasted versus the original juice.
- Sub-level comments may be suggestions for improvement (e.g., "needs more vanilla") or your own version of the same juice. Comments such as "this is spot-on" will be allowed as others test your recipe.
- Please do not create another top-level post for a juice which is already posted in the top level. Add your recipe underneath the top level post.
- ABSOLUTELY NO requests for recipes. Those types of posts ended up being about 90% of the ECF thread. If you want a clone for Pluid, wait for one to be posted or (better yet) try creating your own clone.
Recipe formatting should follow these conventions:
Clone of <Juice Name> from <Vendor Name>
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) y drops per z ml
Don't put your Nic, PG or VG in the recipe unless you feel it is necessary for the proper blend. All percentages should be a percentage of the final mix (hint: if they add up to 100% you have done it wrong). If you normally work in ml not %, please use a calculator such as eJuice Me Up to calculate the percentages for your post.
Once this thread gets some momentum we will post it in the sidebar. Happy cloning!
Clone of Honey Pearry from The Vapor Chef
Pear (TFA) @ 6%
Strawberry (CAP) @ 5%
Honeydew (TFA) @ 3%
Apricot (LA*) @ 3% *Edited - originally said TFA
Apricot ey? interesting.
My latest batch is:
6.5% pear
3.5% strawberry
3.5% honeydew melon
All TFA.
I read a thread on a honey pearry clone in this sub and the chef actually chimed in. He divulged that there is no apricot or any sweeteners in the real honey pearry. Maybe he was trying to throw us off his trail so take it with a grain of salt.
Yes-it was me who suggested it. I think we just can't pinpoint his fancy flavor suppliers that he can afford to bulk buy (or manufacture in house) and they have more floral notes than what we can get. The apricot adds that "what the heck is that!?l" that's missing from the easily accessible flavorings.
I started off with a recipe similar to yours, but when I tasted them back to back I noted that the original HP had ... something extra ... yep that's probably apricot. A little dash of apricot and to me it's a world of difference. I can't get enough of this stuff.
Is this the sweet strawberry or the ripe strawberry?
This one.
Curious as to why all the clones have more pear then honeydew. TVC description says Honeydew with hints of pear and strawberry. I just ordered the flavors. Well, not apricot .. TPA site doesn't even list it :( .. so i guess i'll find out! heh
I just mixed some of this up and used peach in place of the apricot, also I used TFA strawberry since that's what I have.
This stuff is just as good as TVC, no joke. Thanks for this recipe, Honey Pearry is my favorite liquid of all time, and it's great to be able to replicate it. I guess I should also thank TVC for making such a delicious and complex flavor for us all to imitate.
First time posting here. How do I acquire this magic clone? Is it worth plunging into DIY to make my own HP?
If you like (or love) HP and hate spending $10.00/15ml (a fair price for a great product, I'm not bitching, I'm just cheap) then yes. It's completely worth it.
125ml 60mg Nic base - ~$16.00
250ml VG - ~$7.00
250ml PG - ~$7.00
15ml TFA Pear - ~$4.00
15ml TFA Honeydew - ~$4.00
15ml TFA Strawberry - ~$4.00
15ml TFA Apricot - ~$4.00
Total - $46.00 +tax, shipping
And from this you'd have enough liquid to make up to 625ml of liquid, depending on your nicotine preference and VG/PG ratio. You may not have enough to make 625ml of HP, but you could bump up your sizes on the flavorings for just a couple dollars more per flavor. It's pretty awesome, I must say. Since I found this recipe, I've barely vaped anything but Phoney Pearry (thanks again, /u/kirkt). Good luck, and mix carefully.
Clone of Galaxy Grape from Moon Mountain
Grape Juice (TFA) @ 20%
Bavarian Cream (TFA) @ 10%
EM (10% solution) @ 4 drops / 10 ml
how do you make ethyl maltol solution @ 10%? like, if you had a 50ml bottle, would you fill 5ml of it with ethyl maltol crystals and the rest with PG? or is it more complex than that.
also how much ethyl maltol would is 50grams? that seems like quite a lot. how much sweetener could you make with that? like a damn gallon? lol.
and are all Cotton Candy flavors just 10% ethyl maltol in pg? or is it just a specific brand of cotton candy flavor. ive heard you can just buy cotton candy flavor and substitute it as sweetener since its just ethyl maltol in pg
I use 10% by weight, not volume. So 1 g (not ml) of crystals per 10 ml of sovent (usually PG)
Edit: As those below have pointed out, it is 1 g per 10 ml.
If you want to get it premade, it's TPA Cotton candy, the perfumers apprentice. Don't get the circus cotton candy from them or loranns cotton candy, they're different.
Clone of Tanjello from Jameson's
Tangerine (CAP) @ 20%
Marshmallow (TFA) @ 10%
Smooth (TFA) @ 2 drops / 10ml
As with any citrus-based juice this one will cloud or crack plastic tanks.
Seduce Juice Snake Oil
Bavarian Cream (TFA) 3%
Coconut Extra (TFA) 1.5%
Pear (TFA) 9%
The original recipe called for 1% Coconut but I like it with a bit more.
I've been working on one with TFA Toasted Marshmallow instead of Bavarian Cream. I love my bc but I really think the toasted masrhmallow comes closer to the creaminess in Snake Oil. I'll post it up here when I get the levels where I want them.
Oooh, good call. Please do post it when it's ready. I'm a big fan of Snake Oil and I really want to get it right.
Tigers Blood
Coconut Extra (TFA) 1.5%
Strawberry (TFA) 12%
Watermelon (TFA) 6%
I followed this recipe and something is missing IMO. Is it just me or does it need sweetener? I love tigers blood, and would love to get this right. All of my flavors are TFA, and when I saw this recipe I bought A LOT of flavoring. Any ideas?
EDIT--This was my first attempt at a recipe, and I didn't realize that you needed to take the PG in the flavoring into account when mixing--duh. Now I'm on board with calculators and pipettes and all that jazz. So, I'm going to take another swing at this one over the holiday, I'm sure it's great when you know what you're doing :)
You could try Capella Sweet Watermelon, I use it over the TFA every time. I have made recipes with each and prefer the sweet watermelon. I read a post that a little raspberry enhances the watermelon. I found it made it taste like chemical raspberry...
It needs about a week to steep.
How would you take the pg in the flavorings into account? Like how would you work that into a calculator? I plan on getting premixed max vg a 6mg. I've noticed almost all flavors a pg.
Clone of Extreme Ice from Mtbakervapor:
Extreme Ice (flavorwest) @ 15%
Super simple and common knowledge, but I figured it would be good to have it here. It's actually not even a clone seeing as that is the actual recipe, but meh.
Sure its not 20%? I asked around a while back and that's the consensus i got. An example.
Well, Im not certain but I'm pretty damn sure. I literally got a bottle in the post the other day to see if I had mine right and they tasted exactly the same.
Edit: Actually, you may be right. I just taste tested them again and MBVs seems to be a little more sweet/wintergreen-y while mine has that fresh sharp bite that I like.
MtBaker's site explains two things to help you break down their recipes.
- Per their site "We recommend the concentrate to be mixed at 15% - 40% with unflavored Nicotine Juice."
- With the above information, they also offer 0 to 5 flavor shots on each flavor. 0 =15%, 1 = 20%, 2 = 25%, 3 = 30%, 4 = 35%, 5 =40%.
Note: I've enabled Contest Mode so that child comments are hidden by default, but feel free to peruse!
Clone of Grant's Vanilla Custard
Vanilla custard (Capella) @ 7.5%
Dulce De leche (TFA) @ 2%
Had this saved from the ECF forum, and finally tried it last night. It's really good, but man is it rich! I'm going to try some bottom notes to round it out (Coffee? Hazelnut?), but I have been vaping it on and off all day today. Definitely try it if you're into sweet and creamy.
Clone of Purple Drank by Vapor Trails
>* 10% Grape flavoring of your choice (a few out there to choose from)
>* 4% Watermelon
> * 4% Citrus (play around with this one- lemon-lime, Mt. Dew, etc.)
>* 3 drops menthol (Our blend is about 50/50 crystals to PG)
>* 3 drops Sweetner (We use Sucralose instead of EM for this recipe)
>and BOOM- Purple Drank. Enjoy everyone, this blend is epic.
>Also, I wanted to throw in that I think most vendors' blends are similar, but without the citrus, and with more watermelon. If you have ever had Purple Drank (you can try it legally if you are perscribed cough syrup), then you know that it has sprite as a base, which is sort of a citrus/lemon flavor. That is why we added citrus to the blend.
For the 3 drops, how big of a batch are you making?
Snake Bite - Seduce like
- Capella - Green Apple Concentrate 5%
- TPA - Bavarian Cream 3%
- TPA- Coconut Extra 1%
- Lemon Juice 0.5% <-- this is like a drop per 5ml
Still needs something the Apple is more pronounced in the Seduce version. Maybe I need to increase the apple, however I don't want it to taste too nasty. However Mrs says mine is better, she thinks the seduce tastes chemical. I get 40 drops per ml with my dropper so each drop is 0.025 ml or .5% in 5 ml.
this is showing some promise:
- Signature - Green Apple 9%
- TPA - Pear 1%
- Milkstone - 7%
- TPA - Bavarian Cream 2%
- TPA - Sweet Cream 1%
- Sweetener 1%
thanks to /u/et3rn1ty for their milkstone cream base. i do want to look into trying a combination of Sig's green apple and a more candy-like/sweeter green apple
Did you coconut candy or coconut extra in the milkstone?
Made this tonight, only using TFA Green Apple at 12% at 30pg/70vg. Will report back :)
Grant's Vanilla Custard
Man people like this, I do as well. I have never had Grant's but this is the recipe I use, I got it from someone who thought the Dulce de Leche was wrong.
- Capella - Vanilla Custard 15%
- Capella - French Vanilla 5%
- TPA - Cotton Candy 2% : Or EM
I tried this at 10% Vanilla Custard and it was weak so I increased it to 15%... YMMV
MBV - Thug Juice
Watermelon (TFA) 13%
Grape Jolly Rancher (TFA) 8%
Menthol (TFA) 1%
EM (TFA) 2%
Koolada (TFA) 1.5%
Citric Acid (10%) 1%
Very close
If you order watermelon, grape, sweetener and menthol from MBV you can make it.
Do about 10% watermelon, 6% grape, 2% menthol (potent), 2% sweetener. Aaaand of course 80% of whatever PG/VG mix you're using.
This is thug juice. I've been making MBV flavors for about a year now, and this is spot on.
Clone of Velvet Cloud Vapor "Campfire".
Obviously VCV is 100% VG, but this taste almost identical. A nice chocolate-y smores vape.
Dark Chocolate Clear(TFA) 8%
Marshmellow(TFA) 8%
Graham Cracker Clear %4
This has turned into an ADV for me. Let me know what you think :)
This one is pretty good. I made it about a week ago. It's missing some "richness" and I'm not sure what it is that is missing. But it's got it's own tank, and I am enjoying it. Thanks for sharing :)
Seduce juice Snake Venom clone:
Peach (juicy) 5% (Tfa)
Bavarian cream 5% (Tfa)(suggestion of using toasted marshmallow for extra creaminess)
Coconut extra (Tfa)1.5%
1 drop per 5ml EM 10% crystal
1 drop per 5ml MA 10% crystal or citric acid
I made this one almost a month ago. It didn't smell very good to me until today, and now I just tried it - it's very good.
Clone of WiMellow from Mistvapor (Kiwi-Marshmallow)
Marshmallow(TFA) 20%
Double Kiwi(TFA) 10%
Cotton Candy/Ethyl Maltol (TFA) 10%
After making give it two hot water baths and a couple days of steeping the color will change color (if you have nicotine added) and then it will be ready. It may be a clone of Frankenvape but I've never had it so I can't confirm.
Clone of Brett's Breakfast Blend:
[They advertise this as a tobacco juice, but I have never tasted any tobacco among the five different bottles I've ordered, each at different mixtures, nic levels, and steeping times. For this reason I cloned it minus any tobacco flavoring.]
TFA Belgian Waffle - 12%
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 8%
TFA Chai Tea - 4 small drops, err on the side of caution with this one.
Clone of Jango from Seduce Juice
- ACV 0.3%
- Black mile + (ECX) 4%
- Chocolate double clear (TFA) 2%
- Graham Cracker clear (TFA) 2%
- Milkstone (see below) 1.5%
- Tuscan Reserve Ultimate (FA) 4%
- Vanilla Bourbon (TFA) 2.5%
pre-steeped Cream Base (milkstone)
- PG 25%
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) 45%
- Coconut Extra (TFA) 20%
- Sweet Cream (TFA) 10%
i'm starting to think the tuscan reserve is a mistake.
Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk Clone
10% Capellas Sweet Strawberry
5% Lorann Cheese Cake
3% Lorann Bavarian Cream
3% NF Organic Vanilla Cream
2% Capellas Vanilla Custard
Jade Tiger from Mr. E-Liquid. (all MtBakerVapor flavorings)
7% Strawberry
4% Watermelon
5% Pineapple
4% Coconut
Edit: Learned MtBaker is most likely rebottling TFA flavorings. So try those percentages, with Strawberry (Ripe) from TFA and you should be golden.
Clone of 'nana Cream from Bombies
Pear (TFA): 6%
Strawberry Ripe (TFA): 5%
Banana Ripe (TFA): 3% (@ 20 drops/ml)
Banana Cream (TFA): 0.5% (@ 20 drops/ml)
Honey Dew (TFA): 1%
Juicy Peach (TFA): 0.5%
Marshmallow (TFA): 1%
Sweet Cream (TFA): 1%
Sour (20% in PG) (TFA): 1%
Damn, got all of those. WIll try this and let you know what I think. Thanks!
Edit- this is fantastic, but from the TFA Ripe Banana a tank cracker. An ADV in my Kaifun SS tank setup.
