Recipe Help! Ruthless EZ Duz It On Ice

submitted about 9 years ago by cpkvapes

Hey, Ruthless EZ Duz It On Ice has been my ADV for ages and I have been trying to clone it since I started mixing a few months a go. I've tried all of the recipes on ELR and from various threads on here, made about 10 mixes, some of them are pretty nice but not that close enough that I can stop buying it! I've made some Jungle Fever and Rise recipes which are pretty close, but having a lot of trouble getting this one right.

The Ruthless one is 85% VG, and I've read in a few places that they use Capella sweet flavourings so this is where I'm at currently:

Sweet Strawberry (CAP) 4%
Sweet Watermelon (CAP) 4%
Koolada 10% (TPA) 2%
Menthol Blast (KH) 2%
Creme de Menthe (TPA) 1%
Dragonfruit (TPA) 1%
Coconut Extra (TPA) 0.5%
Super Sweet (CAP) 0.5%

This is quite nice but not close enough, I'm sure that I'm either overcomplicating it or missing a crucial ingredient.

Any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers

I don't personally like ruthless Ez duz it but combination of Watermelon and strawberry sounds interesting so I decided to take my attempt at it. First batch I mixed

TPA strawberry Ripe 5%

TPA Watermelon 5%

And it taster very close to Ez duz it. Then few tweaks and revisions later I ended up with this

TPA strawberry 2%

TPA strawberry Ripe 4%

TPA dragonfruit 1%

TPA Watermelon 3%

TPA cucumber 0.5%

And I really like it, more than original Ez duz it. If you have those flavours you can try mixing it and who knows, maybe you'll like it as much as I do. Add some Menthol or coolada after for your liking.

Thanks, will buy some TPA cucumber and try that out! I actually don't like the original Ez Duz It that much either, but love the On Ice version. I wonder if they changed something else apart from just adding menthol/koolada.

Seems pretty close to yours.

Yeah tried that one, think mine is a bit closer with the the sweet Capella flavours. It might actually be the creme de menthe that isn't working in my recipe, will try swapping that for something else.

How did this work? I tried it and the creme de menthe was definitely the wrong flavour

I haven't tried EZ Duz It, so I won't comment on the flavors... however, that 2% of Koolada could probably be deleted. I find that Koolada mutes flavors without adding much of a cool feeling at all. And at 2%, that's quite a lot of Koolada.

Creme de Menthe is basically Peppermint with Vanillin. I also find that Peppermint masks flavors when used over 0.5. I would try to stick with one, single cooling agent instead of mixing a bunch together. I personally use TPA Menthol at 0.25 - 0.33 and it gives great cooling without overpowering the mix.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know Koolada mutes flavours. I have some TPA Menthol so will try that on it's own. The reason I was mixing cooling agents to 5% is that the On Ice version is 85% VG and the original is 90% VG, so guessed that's what the extra 5% flavouring was.

I also have not tried the flavor youre talking about, but if you mentioned they use capella's flavors. I suggest trying Capella's cool mint, its pretty strong but adds a smooth sweet mint taste that might be what your'e missing. I also notice that rutheless uses quite a few FW flavors as well, have you tried FW watermelon? Its pretty potent compared to their other ones and its very candy like and sweet.

Thanks, haven't tried either of those, will add to my next order! This recipe is starting to send me a bit mad lol, I've tried so many and still not very close.

Hiliq.com has a cooling agent. It has no menthol taste to it and is just pure ice cold in ur mouth when u vape it. I first found this type of flavor from bakers and they called it ice cold. I was thrilled to find it at hiliq. It's great and I personally do not like Koolada. If u do some searching u can find a free shipping coupon code for hiliq.com on a different forum. That will save u like $15. They're nic is really good and clear as well if u decide to get some cooling agent.
