Exceptions will be granted if the poster has done some homework, has a partial recipe, has used the search, etc. Straight-up "Anybody have a clone of X" will be removed without comment. Repeat offenders will be banned.
I vote that if someone is banned, they get the TFA Honey treatment if they want to come back
Ok, so question from a new guy.
Are there any vendors on the "do not clone" list? Is there a "do not clone" list? Is there a "it's fine to clone these guys but for the love of dog don't publish the recipe anywhere"?
There is one recipe from one vendor that I would love to try and make myself, and I'm at about 80% confidence right now that I know what the base ingredients are based on their prolific posts in this very sub.
But...
They are quite active in this sub, and good people to boot, and I'm not sure I'd want to do anything that takes money away from them. Is there a protocol for tribute juices for mixers that are friends of the sub?
Adirondack and Bombies both post in here when they see a clone effort of theirs. From what I can tell, they just like seeing their product get attention. If people try cloning your juice, you know you're doing something right.
pls clone me
My guess is you're referring to /u/fizzmustard or /u/botboy141. I doubt either of them would object to one of their juices being cloned, but I'd rather hear it from them.
I could care less personally and I doubt any vendor would disagree. Someone attempting to clone your juice is a major compliment and is free advertising.
I think I can confidently say on behalf of all vendors, clone away!
Plus the people mixing and cloning juice shouldn't have that big of an impact on your business. Your biggest clientele are the people who don't mix and just buy their juice. It's awesome though that you are bridging the gap and catering to both markets by selling your flavoring concentrates.
Heh, they actually give enough recipes away for free that I'll be mixing for a year before getting to their "secret sauce" stuff.
I'm actually talking about VTNW, they have posted a lot of good information to this sub (including a really helpful TFA tasting guide), and I feel like it'd be disrespectful to say "how do I make X juice" from them.
I have ordered a lot of stuff from them, and I have no problem continuing to order from them, but they have a couple of flavor profiles that I would love to incorporate into my daily driver(s).
banned :0
I din't even know we did that here. Kirkt's kraken down eh? lol
BRING DOWN THE BAN HAMMER! lol jk.
Bring on the ban hammer! It's been pretty bad recently. Like not even looking for themselves. Straight up lazy. I'm all for helping, but you have to help yourself a bit too.
Would it kill you to try this, open the bottle you want to clone. Now smell it. What is the smells? Now vape it. What flavors are you noticing? Is it more this than that? Try different wattage and see if there are other notes there. Now try it on a tank and see what you notice.
Now you can start formulating a mix. This is kind of how I mix new flavors. I get an idea, and start smelling things.
Tldr... Try some shit, male some notes. Then ask questions. Stop being lazy.
Edit: English are hard. /s
Sorry about the clone request on the regular page. I thought it was kind of different as I was trying to use only capellas flavorings. I did search and use the side bar even looked on the other forums I'm on also and could find nothing with actually using named capellas flavoring only I though about trying to use the 1 I seen that was simple cinnamon danish swirl and Fuji apple but even that 1 neither was capellas flavoring I was actually trying to get input if anyone else has had success with something close to it using only capellas but I Will repost in the clone thread.
