Love some Gambit or Mother's Milk but tired of paying a buck a ml? Then you are in the right place my friend. First, did you use the sidebar and search feature? There are also specific clone threads linked in the sidebar. If these have turned up dry, then please post your request for a clone recipe here.
However, you should know that most of the experienced users no longer buy commercial juice. Again, why pay $1/ml when you can mix amazing juice for less than 1/10th of that? Anyway, if you'd like to request a clone, this is the proper place to do it. This post will repeat monthly via AutoModerator.
Happy Mixing!
I've sailed the Internet seas far and wide and all of the unicorn milk and sugar bear clones are inadequate. If anyone is close feel free to throw a flotation device of hope
Closest i've gotten is this recipe: Shake it. Warm bath for 5 minutes to thin out the VG. After shaking it again I let it sit open for 1 hour. 24 hour shake. 48 hour shake. 48 hour shake. Juice is still thick from the VG not like Cutwoods. Day 5 the taste starts coming out.
- PG 30/ VG 70%
- Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP) - 5%
- Cinnamon Roll (FW) - 8%
- Ethyl Maltol 10% - 1%
- Sugar Cookie (CAP) - 3%
I made this recipe myself, very good.
% 4 strawberry ripe (tfa) % 2.5 custard (fa) % 2 vanilla swirl (tfa) % 1 marshmallow (tfa) % 0.5 fresh cream (fa) Edit: % 0.5 dragon fruit (tfa) Taste pretty damn good after mixing and even better the morning after. Closest I've ever gotten to cloning it.
Try this for Unicorn Milk
- PG 30/ VG 70%
- Sweet Strawberry (CAP) 10%
- NY Cheesecake (CAP) 5%
- Graham Cracker (CAP) 3%
- Sweet Cream (CAP) 4%
- Vanilla Custard (CAP) 2.5%
- Vanilla Swirl (TFA) 1.5%
Not my recipe and I haven't tweaked it. Found it in a Capella's discussion but forget where. Good as is and close enough for me :-)
- Steam Factory - Blueballz, Screwberry
- Alpha Vape - Manchu,
- Nick's blissfull brews - Apple Cider
- Blue print - Cream
- Must vape - Pencil ( i tried using using tea from TFA, but the flavors comes out tasting dry)
- Cutwood - Sugar bear ( I have right now 6 bottles of this brewing, trying to make it close. But the flavor just seems soo off. I used every single recipe online, but it's not even close for my palet or my buddys palet.)
- Luxe Vapor - Aphrodite
> Steam Factory - Blueballz
10% TPA Blueberry Wild
0.5% - 1% TPA Banana Cream
2 drops per 10ml EM
2 drops per 10ml TPA Sweetener
Recipe found on VU and apparently it's pretty spot on. Never had the original but this is good.
Quick question (still new to this!): what's EM?
This Apple Cider is outstanding I always have a bottle mixed. Never tried Nicks, I'd imagine this is even better tbh!
I would love a clone recipe for vigilante vapors skull & crossbones. It is a rum cake with vanilla ice cream. I tried making one myself using variations of FA rum, FW yellow cake, TFA vanilla cupcake and Bavarian cream, and some other flavors but had zero luck coming up with anything decent. Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried cloning this one yet myself, but I've got a bottle next to me right now and I can say without much doubt that TFA Brown Sugar Extra is a component. Smelling them side by side it really stands out.
VTNW Ansel Adams...
Tried it... there's RY4, I used banana cream, and hazelnut, all TFA.I think there needs to be honey... maybe some apple. Anyone? I added bourbon just for fun though 10% ry4, 2.5% banana cream and hazelnut, but I'm not close, so don't expect anything. Hoping someone with more experience comes in
If anyone can figure out how to make Vapor Chef's Honey Nut Tobacco, that'd be just great.
I enjoy the taste of this one, but the smell has kept me from trying to make it, hah. Based on TVC's description, and this picture, I'd start with TFA Black Honey Tobacco (5-8%), TFA Hazelnut Praline (1-3%), TFA Toasted Almond (1-3%), and TFA Honey (<1%).
EDIT: Just noticed TFA Red Oak on the shelf. Could also maybe fit. 5-8%.
> the smell
I know what you mean. I'm not looking for an exact copy, I'm going to tweak it to my taste, but I hope to avoid THAT smell.
Alice in Vapeland 15 Foot Falls
I can get in the ballpark with this one, but it still needs work. TFA Toasted Marshmallow, definitely. 5-10%. LA Cream Cheese Icing 1-2%, TFA Coconut Extra at 1%-ish, or possibly Coconut Candy at 2%-ish. Definitely Graham Cracker, probably 3-5%. I've used TFA's and Capella's, neither one really rang a bell for me, need to try FW.
The tobacco is where I get lost. At one point they claimed to use a NET, although the description no longer states that. The above mixed together would be pale yellow-tan, so the tobacco needs to be DARK. I've been using Black Mile Plus (around 4%) from ECX , but TFA Black Honey Tobacco might be a fit here. Hope that helps.
I accidentally made an awesome marshmallow base (I can't stand toasted marsh or any other marsh type flavoring), so I'm trying to clone 15 ft falls. 1st attempt is pretty close:
Fifteen Foot Falls v1
- Tobacco (NN) 1.00%
- Coconut (FA) 0.50%
- Graham Cracker Clear (TFA) 3.00%
- Peanut Butter (TFA) 0.60%
- Vanilla Swirl (TFA) 2.50%
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) 3.00%
- Meringue (FA) 1.50%
- Fresh Cream (FA) 1.00%
Just now saw your comment after searching for ideas, and wanted to add what I have found. The combo of meringue, bav cream, van swirl, and/or pb nail a creamy marshmallow flavor. I am not exactly sure which ones (or if all of them) are contributing to it.
GCC doesn't seem to be cutting it; I have cap, and will try that next time. I am pretty sure the fresh cream can go. I may up the NN TA to 1.25% or add TE RY4 (my only other tobacco, it has a smokiness to it that may work).
Ruthless: Ménage à trois
i want some McDonalds Hot Apple Pie not normal apple pie.
Care to share vemdor/juice name?
sorry. the best stuff i tasted was from Cyber Liquids.
https://www.cyberliquids.com/product/apple-jax-e-liquid/
To me it tasted exactly like a McDonalds hot apple pie.
I have bought Apple Jacks concentrate but it was missing something, and had too much cinnamon.
I've been looking everywhere for some cuttwood boss reserve would love a good clone of that. I've attempted my own but just not quite there
Have you gotten or found a recipe for the Boss Reserve? I've been searching for a couple of days. Plan to place an order on Monday and would like to include flav. needed to make it.
Blue moo by MBV...one of the first juices i tried when i started.
Well this is an easy one. Here ya go
Thank you but, wrong flavor. Looking for blue moo, the blueberry muffin/vanilla frosting/buttery flavor... I did take your idea and looked for the flavoring but I don't think they have it:-(
Sorry about that, try this
Propaganda's Illuminati. I don't know if it's been done but that flavor is among the best I've ever tasted.
This please. Oh please!
Are you still looking for a clone of this? I think I may have just made it. I've been trying to make a clone for my friend and it tastes almost spot on.

Yep, I'm still looking. what's the recipe?
Dragon Chi - Halcyon Vapors
- 10% Dragonfruit (TFA)
- 5% Lychee (TFA)
- 5% Pomegranate (TFA)
You can sweeten to taste. I've found that I like it best with 1 drop of sweetener for every 10ml (I use sucralose).
edit: formatting
Mt Baker Vapor - Hawk Sauce Vape Wild - On Cloud Custard Cosmic Fog - Milk and Honey Adriondack - Placid
7 Signs Trumpet - Officially it says "Trumpets is the heavenly amalgamation of all of our favorite candies: cinnamon, Danish rolls, apple pie, butterscotch, and caramel"
However from my experience - Cinnamon, butterscotch, and caramel flavors all stand out immediately upon taking a hit . The cinnamon is a ground cinnamon, not a sweet candy cinnamon. On exhale, the taste of batter, like the kind found in fresh-baked cinnamon buns, and even a hint of warm apple is left. This is a more savory than sweet juice, and has a "thickness" to it, or deepness, I don't know.
any juice from the Artist Collection of NJOY!
Illusion by Big Hearts / Hot Vapes
This is a great all day tobacco / "real-ish" cigarette flavor I'd like to mix myself. I'm fairly certain they're using some tobacco absolute blended with another aromatic tobacco flavor, but the closest I've come is TFA's turkish -- but it's missing both sweet and tart notes and doesn't smell the same. Haaalp!
I'm looking for a clone of Pure Michigan. This has been 1/2 of my white whale since I started DIY.
Pure Michigan by Mister-E-Liquid. I'd pay good money for this recipe.
I mixed something close a while ago that reminded me of it. I think it was 7% TFA Apple, 7% TFA Strawberry Ripe. I'm pretty sure they use Sucralose in everything, so chuck some of that in there. I believe this should get you in the ball park.
You know what, I did reply to this but I had a brain lapse last night and I used Ethyl Maltol instead of sucralose. I have TFA Sweetener which I believe is sucralose. I'll give that a shot tonight.
My next step will be to find how to replicate their menthol, because I feel like it's just a high % dilution.
It 100% has Sucralose, so for sure try that, probably at a higher than usual % since it's so sweet. TFA Sweetener is perfect and is Sucralose. Pure Michigan could also have a little EM, not sure although and sort of doubt it personally. I posted in one of your threads where you were asking about their menthol and also mentioned there too about their use of Sucralose, since they use it in the entire ice line, it could also have a slight play on how you perceive the menthol. Also, I believe their cherry ice (which you were posting about) is just a small amount of Lorann's cherry (due to the red color), Sucralose and menthol. Hope this all helps!
I won't edit my last post in case you want to try that, but I found my notes and it was 5% TFA Apple, 5% TFA Strawberry Ripe and 1% TFA Strawberry. Hope that helps.
There are only three things I would want to clone but haven't found anything on any of these (except for Pony on Acid):
Brother's Reserve - Fruit of the Plume Smax - Lick It! Smax - Pony on Acid
I am thinking Lick It might be an easier one for someone who is experienced in this to clone. It is a very lush peaches and cream blend.
I have had one lead on Pony on Acid but it didn't really pan out. I am in the process of tweaking the base I have some more but so far I haven't gotten close. Again, it is a very lush berry/glaze mix.
And finally, Brother's Reserve makes Fruit of the Plume which again is a berry mix but I have no idea where to even start with it, I am guessing it is a mix of light berries (strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, etc?)
These are my three favorite vendor juices of all time and I would love a place to start. I am probably going to put in an order for these three just for the sole purpose of trying to break them down further.
The Smax juice is listed on the vendor's site as being a 90/10 VG/PG blend -- meaning that there is only 10% flavoring in both of them (or at least, we hope that is accurate). I am not sure what the ratio is in Fruit of the Plume.
I have met some people on here that have a much more advanced palate than me and can pick certain flavors out of juices pretty accurately. Here's hoping someone could at least help point me in a good starting place.
Here is my request I wish I could get this one cloned: Teleos Cloud Science - Alpha
Description:
The flavor of Alpha is a masterful composition of multiple different ingredients. We took a handful of berries and combined them with a culinary mélange of sugars and created what we like to describe as a strawberry-infused spun sugar.
PRIMARY FLAVORS: STRAWBERRY, BERRIES TO ACCENT, MULTIPLE CREAMS
Link to my original out of position clone request SORRY! I did read the sidebar but it was the last day of the month.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. thanks!
Which clones did you tried specifically? And what you didn't like about them? Have you made any progress on it? I also like this flavor, and I think I'll give it a shot.
I made this. http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/84621/CloudScience+Alpha but I don't think it is close at all. I'm thinking now that I got another bottle to try that the flavors are something like this: Custard or yellow cake, strawberry, cotton candy, some cream, maybe marshmallow and sucrolose. I ordered some more flavors but no custard just yellow cake so I will try that when it comes. Let me know what you think is in it.
Well, that's cool, I have custard and no yellow cake. lol
I just got my bottle Friday, and I'm going to vape it for the next few days and take some notes. Vaping it right now though (and my tongue is destroyed from easter dinner, so bear with me lol), I'd say it does seem very much like some yellow cake in there. I'm also inclined to believe it's Strawberry (Ripe) (TFA). It has a similar tang to the odor. I'm going to vape it all day tomorrow and the next day and take some notes. I'll let you know in a few days.
Down Home Vaping: Blue Nutz (cool).
It's a blueberry, vanilla, and coconut (and according to its description, maybe some other fruits, but that's all I taste), and with the optional 'cool' option, it gets a small bit of menthol and tastes absolutely amazing!
His anyone else that's had it before able to at least help describe the flavor so I might have somewhere to start? I'm new at diy, and don't have a very good feel for identifying flavor notes. Thanks!!
Hi! Ive made a clone-ish of it that I'm pretty happy with. I don't have the flavor brands at the moment but if you're interested I'll get back to you with them.
Blueberry 5%
Coconut 3%
Fresh Cream 2%
Vanilla Swirl 1%
I add 2-3% Koolada to make it cool, but I suspect they use Menthol in their mix.
My blueberry is not the same as theirs, but it's close enough for me!
A reply! I'd all but given up! :D
Thanks, and yeah I'd absolutely love to hear which brands you're using, especially what kind of blueberry!
I've been working on my own version as well, but I can't wait to try out yours instead. I also tried koolada initially, but found that just 1 drop of menthol per 10ml tasted MUCH more like the real thing. Mine is ridiculously over-complicated, and yours is much more likely to be similar to the actual recipe; I'm still brand new to trying to make my own mixes, and I can't stop myself from over complicating everything. I gave up on trying to clone it, and went for something "similarly tasty". Here is my version if you want to check it out:
(link to ELR)
- 0.5% Bilberry (FA)
- 1.5% Blueberry (FLV)
- 0.8% Coconut (FLV)
- 0.5% Coconut Extra (TFA)
- 1% Marshmallow (CAP)
- 3% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
- 1% Vanillin 10% (TFA)
It is not by any means perfect, but it is very different from everything else I've been vaping lately (heavy custards, creams, cereals), and it's very tasty and refreshing. Still, to me it's almost a little too heavy on the blueberry, and not enough vanilla/coconut. But everytime I try and modify it, it just gets all fucked up and muted. Anyway, I'm very excited to try yours, and thanks again for replying! Be sure to try and replace koolada with a tiny bit of menthol as well; as soon as I added the menthol (and even though my recipe is likely very far off from the official one), I got very excited with just how similar it was starting to taste. :D
I'd love to be able to make Mayflower by Coval Vapes.
"This one's for all you cigar lovers out there. An leafy tobacco with a delicate vanilla sweetness that will swirl around your mouth while an oaky tobacco rushes in followed by a bourbon twinge."
Mister-E-Liquid - Myster-E. I know there is some Lorann's in there due to the coloring (pretty sure LA cherry at like 0.5%). I taste that, watermelon and some sort of tang. Apparently it is four flavors total.

Adam Bomb - Mama's Cookies
It's my mom's ADV and what made her finally quit cigarettes. Since tax legislation in Portugal made e-juice prices skyrocket local B&Ms are only carrying 0mg juice for the time being till they figure out what to do. I had her try a decent variety of other juices but they simply don't cut it and she's considering just going back to cigarettes. There have been a few mild arguments about this since I really find some of the other juices just as good but it is what it is. For the time being I ordered some base nicotine liquid from outside the country and I'll probably mix it with 0mg liquid, it'll lose some of the flavor but it'll probably keep her from going back to cigarettes. In the long term perspective I'd like to be able to just make the liquid myself so I won't have to depend on B&M and online shops stock availability. I have looked around this sub and tried to find it online but no luck. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, I'd just like some general guidelines so I can have a starting point to perfect it to her taste. Thanks.
Five Star Juice -- "Misso Juicy." My local B&M carries it and I can't get enough. It's a tart citrus mix that probably wouldn't be that hard to mimick but I would like to know where to start. It's not an overpowering lemon/lime, but it's there and it's got a nice sour punch to it. I think it also has a tad bit of orange and maybe grapefruit in the background (but it's subtle).
Also the same company has one called "Caramel Nutz" that is also excellent. The caramel is so good and doesn't taste like vomit (like my caramels do).
A clone of either of these would be much appreciated. Not even a clone, but a "I taste this flavor in the juice and here's where to start" type of thing.
