New and need help with Vintage vapor 'The Dreamer' clone

submitted over 10 years ago by crackills

Edit: sorry about the clone request, I used the side bar for everything but reading the posting rules.

This will be my first recipe and Im not sure about the flavor curves/percentages of these flavors.

The company states The Dreamer is a strawberry with peach and pineapple. I have:

TFA juicy peach TFA strawberry TFA strawberry ripe TFA pineapple

Even if its not a clone Id like suggestions on typical percentages of these flavors so I don't under/overpower the recipe.

As for percentages, strawberry and strawberry ripe are great at about 7% in mixes, juicy peach I'd say at about 4-5%, and pineapple I'd try 3% before anything; it seems like a strong flavor.

TFA Pineapple man. I cannot do anything above 1%. It takes over everything for me.

agreed, tfa pineapple is a monster. 1% is enough for sure.

Great info, yeah I made one 30ml bottle of strawberry ripe 10% and banana cream 8%, the strawberry dominated.

Augmenting strawberry ripe with 1/3 strawberry makes a great strawberry IMO. like 4% ripe and 2% regular and you're golden.

5% TFA juicy peach 5% CAP sweet strawberry 2% INW pineapple

This is pretty much 100% accurate IMO

Oh my, I love The Dreamer. I tried my hand at a clone a while back... didn't even come close :( so I can't be of much assistance. I do know their juice is relatively thin (at least it seems that way). So, that may mean higher percentages or just added PG...

Yeah it really pops, its so damn refreshing. Might be some citric acid in it? Im inexperienced but there must be a trick to getting it to make my mouth water like that.

There are two tricks I've found to give fruit flavors a "pop" that work consistently: citric acid in some form (be it a citrus flavor or actual CA), or minute amounts of menthol (I'm talking ~0.1-0.2%).

Both kick most fruits front and center.

Good luck!

I need to give it a go again. I now have CAP Golden Pineapple which is nice and sweet. Seems like it might be a good fit.

Anybody ever come close to this juice ? I want to clone it but it has been extremely hard .
