From a DIYer's perspective, what gourmet juice is absolutely unclone-able and worth the premium?

Everything is clone-able. Just gotta find the right flavor manufacturer out of the hundreds! When you start going international, it becomes even more of a challenge. :/

Frenilla from Nicoticket. They do the extraction themselves.

All the bears from grizzly vapes. If someone knows a clone that is actually close, let me know

Problem is that he does do something specific to it that alters the flavor. Something involving the nicotine, hence why he has so much trouble making zero nic versions of his flavors.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's making a VG tincture with aged tobacco leaves.

Possibly. He isn't too likely to share his secret, though. :P

I don't know but as an off-topic thought: Ignite premium e-juice is VILE and disgusting. I don't know how they market that stuff as premium e-liquid other than the fact that it's in a really nice dark glass with a good dropper.

The only gourmet juice I've ever had was especially mixed exactly the way I like it with the best flavor brands I like for me, by me...it can be a curse having discerning taste :~)

Sweet Tooth from Alpha Vape, tried 10 creams, 6 vanillas, 5 graham crackers and haven't come close...

Mmmm, Sweet Tooth is really good. Never tried cloning it though.

It's really hard to clone. I refuse to spend that much on ejuice though, and it's killing me because I LOVE it.

I tried it during my special trail offer thingy whatever that Easy Vape Cub is always posting about. With that 40% off code you should be able to get a lot of it for fairly cheap and cancel after your first month.

I want a clone of Betamorph's Durty Hippie. I have no clue where to even begin, and I love the juice, but yeah ... it's got me stumped as to what's in it.

I've had zero luck with Pluid, though I've made some vapeable stuff that is reminiscent of it. Same thing with Frankenvape. Everything else I've tried I can get close enough to not make the premium price worth it.

Frankenvape I've gotten pretty close on, actually. Kiwi double, lemon, marshmallow, and going to try Bavarian cream this next time.

Give me your %s and we can work on it together. Still convinced there's a bit of strawberry in it.

Very well could be. My recipe is at home, I'll pm it to you later tonight.

I can't figure out bombies nana cream for the life of me. It has this creamy undertone that I can't seem to find a replacement for anywhere. I'm comfortable paying for his liquid though. His prices are resonable.

There have been several nana clones posted here. Apparently they are quite close with a mix of two types of banana flavors.

I tried one of the more popular ones and taste great but nothing like Nana cream

Ohhh darn, that's a shame. I haven't had a chance so sadly I can't be of much help ha

I've tried all the tfa clones posted and have tweaked them here and there. It's not the banana part that messes me up. It's that complex cream flavor I can't manage. Granted I should probably try a few more different vendors too.

This. I think a clone is doable, I just don't think anyone has gotten close enough for me yet. I've mixed all the clones I've seen posted, and played around with them as well, but I feel like we're missing something obvious.

Cyclops Vapor: "Poseidon" is absolutely amazing. It's a melon/fruit blend that I have tried to replicate and cannot get for the life of me.

It's the only juice I still purchase and it is pretty pricy especially after making my own for so long now.

There was a comment reply several months back from someone who apparently knew the maker of Cyclops who had a clone of "Athena" another one of their fruity-apple blends which was pretty close, but they didn't have the clone for this one unfortunately...

No way! Haha that's awesome! You should ask her to get a hook up with some bulk juice for me lol.

Funny enough, I just called them earlier today and planned to buy some juice. It's their One Year Anniversary right now too...

Anything by Johnson creek, especially Tennessee cured. I spend a bomb on it every month and I'm damned if I can replicate it.

Pipesauce juices are so subtle and elegant that I have no idea really how to go about to deconstruct something like Long Bottom Leaf or Shire Malt. If anyone has any idea how this could be accomplished I'd be forever grateful.
