Hi all, after months of tinkering and trying out all kinds of Looper clones listed here I think I may have finally cracked it. This recipe takes inspiration from a lot of the recipes floating around on here.
Recipe as follows:
- 7% TFA Berry crunch
- 2% TFA Fruit Circles
- 2-3% TFA Strawberry ripe
- 2% TFA Sweet Cream
- 1% TFA Bavarian Cream
- 2.5% FA Fresh Cream
- 2% FA Meringue
- 2% TFA Marshmallow
- 1-2% TFA Vanilla Cupcake
- 0.5-1% TFA Hazelnut
- 0.5% TFA Orange Cream
Tasting this after 6 hours of shaking and the only difference I can tell between my version and the original is that the OG flavour is more "pronounced" (maybe a tad sweeter / more berry flavour), but then again I'm mixing this with all VG and it hasn't been steeped.
I decided to leave out the yellow cake and go easy on the hazelnut as the real looper is quite a clear liquid and doesn't gunk my coils like yellow cake liquids do. The percentages are a bit up in the air as I mixed this up fairly inaccurately with a syringe to make a 10ml tester, but I am confident this recipe would hold up in bigger batches.
Hopefully this will help out a few people!
I'm holding out for 98.6666666666666% accuracy. But hey, good start.
Once this steeps I'm sure it will get there :) I don't normally post my mixes on here but this one really blew me away how close it was to the original.
Well start posting them ;)
We always enjoy people sharing their recipes of course. I'm always trying people recipes out given I have the flavors to do so.
Im scared of ~23% but I'm going all in and making a 30ml of this right............meow!
i'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing!
I think you could cut down on the cream percentages / concentrates and fiddle with the overall ratio to suit your tastes. I have a feeling the FA fresh cream percentage might be a tad too high which is muting the berry / sweet notes slightly. You could also try knocking down the Fruit Circles to 1% as it's not doing too much but providing a very slight lemon note to the mix.
Hmmmm how does ~1.5% sound for Fresh Cream? Similar Looper recipes seem to have it around 1%, but i doubt the extra .5 will hurt. Im curious about the fruit circles too. 1-2% maybe 1.5% lol, meet in the middle.
Ok so quick update: after a day of steeping the creams and milk flavour has come out more and the berry flavour has diminished slightly. I think this might need further tweaking to help bring out the berry notes further or scaling back on the creams. I'm thinking of potentially adding blueberry / raspberry? Thoughts?
What do you think about acetyl pyrazine in this recipe?
We'll never be done trying to clone Looper :)
I will add that i disagree with the whole clear and not gunking part. I'm changing my cotton to get the gunk off my coils at least once a day when vaping only looper. I also bought a 0mg bottle because I was curious about it's "natural" color and it's actually pretty dark yellow.
I'll try out your recipe and let you know what I think :)
How well does it compare to the other Looper clone by /u/shrine399?
Will let you know soon. I have some hooper sitting here right now just need to mix up this new one.
I finally received my fruit circles the other day (vendor sold out) and when I opened it to have a whiff, it smelled EXACTLY like my bottle of Looper does. Put 2% in the cereal mix I'm working on and it's immediately really close to the original and I guess that's why I didn't think that the Lomage to Hooper was close, since it doesn't have any fruit circles in it. I think the percentage could be bumped up to about 3% though.
