Mixed my first batch tonight, thanks to the help of this sub. 'Nana Cream and Honey Pearry clones. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and/or submitted recipes. I'll continue to support my favorite juice vendors as much as possible, but DIY makes such an amazing difference in the monthly cost that it's hard to ignore.

I'm sure I'll dive into creating original flavors at some point, but these two have been my ADVs for a while and I'm loving the clones so far. Neither is perfect, but both are amazing none the less. Thanks again!

Edit: Two weeks later and I've already got 5 original flavors in the works. Having too much fun ordering stuff and experimenting.

Which Nana cream clone did you use?

I started with jackster's clone but did not have any LA Pear or FA Strawberry. I used TFA Strawberry at 7% and TFA Pear at 1.5% to help compensate the ratios, and also brought the LA banana up to 8%.

I'm going to be trying that same clone out, but with 8% cap's sweet strawberry, tfa pear at 1.5%, and cap's golden pineapple at .5.

As long as you've got the LA Banana in there I think you'll be happy. I went to 8% LA Banana, as my first test was still pineapple-forward even at .5%.

Very nice labels! Are you going to start charging $27.50 for a 30ml with those nice looking labels?

I'm just messing with you and commenting on how good those labels look (and kind of digging at five pawns and other premium brand juices).

I suspected it was all tomfoolery. :)

As much as I'll never pay $1/ml for commercially available juice, I do appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating interesting packaging. I'm still planning on ordering some Whit E just to get that awesome presentation. Have debated Five Pawns but I would literally only be ordering it for that little tube the bottles come in because I love scotch and that seems... scotchy. I want those little tubes!
