Become a juice sleuth!
submitted over 10 years ago by maeon152

I'd like to start a group of like minded people whom all purchase the same flavor and work at cloning it until we get it perfect. If you want to do this please pm me and let's get started on our first flavor!

All recipes we clone will be posted and available to the public, no more paying outrageous prices for such a wonderful vice!

Is that from GLV?

Yes, it's one of my favorites, but they blend it at such a high PG that I can't really vape it the way I like to vape (100W and up on a dripper with max VG)

Jeremy from GLV posted this recipe in 2012 in a Facebook DIY group while attempting to clone Pluid. I've never mixed this, but this would be your best starting point, this is copy/pasted, can't help much more beyond here:

12% Absinthe TPA (should be Flavourart Anise)

8% Kiwi Double TPA

2% Ecto Cooler FlavorWest

2% Sweetener

1 Single Drop of Menthol

Haven't tried it. What type of juice is it?

2 points
 
by mrcoltuxover 10 years ago

It's absinthe/anise based with other fruit flavors and a hint of menthol. I think there's some kiwi in it but I can't quite get it right. For me absinthe/anise is beautiful in a vape if it is done well. Magic fairy, Pluid, PPE, and Grenada are perfect examples. I am actually mixing my own with some interesting results. For example although coconut and absinthe go well together as I would assume, surprisingly banana cream blends wonderfully with it as well in a very interesting way.

Sounds delicious! I would try for a snow cone type mix if I were to make that. Major with watermelon, mixed with a hint of ripe strawberry, and a very small amount of coconut. Then add the menthol and others. Sounds like a great blend! I'll tinker and see what I can come up with!

I really want an Ansel Adams clone from VTNW. This sounds like a great idea and I'd definitely be in.

The more we have helping, the more accurate we'll be!

Ill buy you a bottle of VMT by GremlinJuice to try to clone

Sounds good, I'll get started on it :-)

Are you pretty good at cloning recipes? Pm me your info so i can get that juice to you

by maeon152over 10 years ago

I'm decent at cloning, but with a large group all working together, we should be able to get clones very close to the original.

This could be fun, if only for the challenge of it. I prefer coming up with my own recipes, but sometimes will try to clone to test myself.

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

I agree, my current adv juices are both my own recipes, but I do love some of the store bought stuff available :-)

My problem is that I haven't bought vendor juice in over a year. I have no idea what these new flavors people are taking about actually taste like. XD

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

Haha I hear you on that note. I've been making my own for over 2 years, I have some that I love, but there are genuinely good flavors I can't seem to hit prefect. We'll get them though!

I wanna make Hedon's Bite from the Artist Collection or especially Athena from Cyclops!!!!

Haven't had time to do so yet. But I have wholesale account in most places; I could even help coordinate small group buys for specific flavors if needed

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

That's a great idea! If we can get a wholesale type price when ordering, that would drastically cut the cost of this endeavour.

i would be interested in this as well

There is quite a bit of desire to do this. I think I'll let this post run for a day or two to gather people, then I'll arrange some way for us to collaborate on recipes and openly discuss possible tweaks to flavors. In the long run, we'll be making some top notch juice for pennies per ml

Sounds like a cool idea. I'm not very experienced at DiY, but I dabble. I can try to help if I can!

This will be a great place to start. With everyone working together, we'll get the best juices for much cheaper than the shops are charging.

I'd like to be a part of this.

Excellent! I'm going to run this till Friday morning, I'll get contact info for those interested and we'll start on our first flavor together!

Its Friday....We doing this still?

I would be willing to help out by donating some juices if they would be of use to people, but the problem would be I have a whole lot of new sealed bottles that I have one bottle of, so it might have no use for this project.

We need people that will all purchase and work on the same flavors, any help will be great! I'll have a website up soon with what juice we are currently working on and the flavors we have already completed.

What a great idea, only new to DIY so once I advance a bit I will drop you guys a line.

I'd like for someone more experienced than myself to take a shot at Brasberry Mint by DBLiquids. Absolutely an awesome juice. I have had no luck getting close to the recipe, but the attempts have definitely been vapeable at least.

This is exactly what I'd like to overcome with this group!

Well I'm in, I just got 30 new flavorings in the mail today to add to my growing DIY arsenal. I'll be watching this thread to see what transpires.

Sounds good. Friday night I should have a site started if not up and running to streamline this process.

Once we are ready, we'll start a thread of juices that people are wanting, first come first serve :-)

Going to have a separate sub or an actual Website?

Sounds like you are going to make this hobby just a bit more interesting. Love it

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

I'm thinking a website. Eventually it will turn into a site with recipes for multiple clones, however, I'd like to keep it dedicated to just that. Everyone has the nice they love which they made themselves, but I'm working toward getting recipes for clones of vendor juices. After all, 15$ per bottle is just a joke.

Did anything ever come of this idea?

Do you have a website up?

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

No. I didn't have the dedication needed to maintain it.

I'm interested. Maybe set up a Google Group for this?

I'm down to help test clones vs the original and give input.

1 points
 
by maeon152over 10 years ago

That's going to be helpful, I'll set up a "tester" subscription on the sight and we'll send juice (clone and original) for testers to give input on.

1 points
 
by okijuhyover 10 years ago

No I meant I will buy the original and make the clones as they are work in progress, and give my input. But I'm not confident in my ability to mix my own recipe
