Fell into premiums recently after seeing all these amazing juices come out. Candy king batch is by far the best sour patch kids liquid there is. Spot on sour patch kids
I knew it wouldn't be extremely hard to clone it as the description clearly says it's a mixture of lemon, cherry, lime, and orange. So I purchased almost every lemon, cherry, lime , and orange flavor there was available in TFA, CAP, FW, LA, and FA. It took about hours and hours of smelling the bottle of candy king batch, dabbing some on my finger and tasting and smelling it, smelling flavors to see if i can smell it in the Batch liquid and about 20 revisions, though I only recorded 15 of them.
I would say I'm 90% there. I probably couldn't tell them apart if i was blind folded. Although, could taste a small difference when vaping them side by side.
The original candy king batch has ATLEAST 3% sweetner. So I lowered it to 1.75% at my liking but you guys can adjust it to whatever you want. I would recommend atleast 1% though for a true candy effect. No one likes candy without sugar 😉. I like sweet juices so I don't mind re-wicking. (Yes I know I'm in the minority)
Recipe:
Lemonade FW 3.2%
Juicy orange CAP 3%
Shisha Lime INW 1.25%
Swedish Fish FW 3.3%
Rainbow Candy FW .75%
Sour FW 4%
Sweetner FW 1.75%
Juicy Orange, Lemonade, Lime Shisha are self explanatory. All are the perfect choices for the true flavor of each sour patch kid.
I started with cherry crush FW as the cherry but it just wasn't it. Then I was smelling the candy king batch and I picked out a cherry-ish Swedish fish flavor. I started with Swedish gummy TFA but it was more of a waxy lingonberry. ended with using Fw Swedish fish which I know now is what the the original uses. It's spot on cherry gummy.
Sweetner and sour add the realistic sour sugar coating on the real candy.
I could definately pick out rainbow candy FW when smelling and tasted it, started at 3% and worked my way down to 1% and its perfect. Just adds an array of flavors and candyness to it.
I was surprised they dont use any gummy flavorings in this juice, but the little bit of the Swedish fish adds a slightly gummy mouthfeel.The flavor works out very nicely without a gummy flavoring and truly tastes like sour patch kids
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this recipe

Did you try it without the sour? I did quite some testing with it and it seems to be a placebo effect for me. As in, tested blind, i could not distinguish sour vs non sour liquids. Even vaping pure sour just tasted slightly chemically bitter. Dripping a drop on the tongue instead gives the intense sour note of malic acid.
How do you guys get around the "bite" that juices made with orange, lemon, lime etc have? I've been mixing my juices at max VG for a year or so now and no matter what I do, I can't get rid of it. Which sucks, because I am really limited on what I can make. I really want to try this recipe.
a little em helps to calm citruses down. Or if its a bakery type mix, add a touch of marshmallow.
It's rarely the bakery, desert type juices and more often the fruit blends. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
I was wondering about fw sour and fw sweetener. Is fw sour just malic acid? And what sucralose to em is in fw sweetener? Thanks for any help.
I love sour patch kids but always stayed away from this juice because of the horrible marketing which is some of the absolute worst i have seen. I also assumed it would be primarily em and sweetners. Definitely interested in throwing it together now considering i can mix it myself and give it a go. Thanks for the recipe
Hey man, just wondering if the lemonade you are using is FW Lemonade (Natural)? Just looking through my stock to see if I have the ingredients to mix this and that's the FW Lemonade I have.
