OK, so technically it's Sunday. Sorry about that. I've been sick and apparently my little sinus infection spread to my brain because I completely forgot to post Throwback Thursday on Thursday.
This is part of project I agreed to take on after it was pointed out that so many of the resources in sidebar and wiki are ancient. The idea is, rather than revising them myself, I'd post them here once per week to gather feedback on how to improve them. They belong to all of us, everyone should have a say in what they say.
The Wiki is currently home to three Official Clone Recipe Threads. Check them out!
Clone Recipe Thread 2: Son of Clone Recipe Thread
Clone Recipe Thread 3: Attack of the Clones
There's nothing wrong with these clone recipe threads. But the newest one is three years old and the first two are four years old. Surely there have been some new clone recipes created since then?
#Post your favorite CLONE recipes here!
Post them in tables, post them with bullets, post them with ATF/ELR links, post them without ATF/ELR links, post them AS ATF/ELR links, post them with notes, post them without notes, post them if they're your own creations, post other people's' recipes that you've enjoyed, post them any way you like, just post them! I'll add this thread to the other clone recipe threads.
Some rules:
-
Top level posts must be a clone recipe that you have personally made and tasted versus the original juice.
-
Sub-level comments may be suggestions for improvement (e.g., "needs more vanilla") or your own version of the same juice. Comments such as "this is spot-on" will be allowed as others test your recipe.
-
Please do not create another top-level post for a juice which is already posted in the top level. Add your recipe underneath the top level post.
-
ABSOLUTELY NO requests for recipes. If you want to request clone, use the Monthly Clone Request Thread. Here's a link to November's: November 2018 Clone Reqest Thread. If you're viewing this in December or later, use the current month's clone request thread for best results.
Next week, Throwback Thursday will have a contest post to update the My First Order Flavors in the same way it was last updated in December 2016/January 2017. Can't promise that will actually happen on Thursday, though.
The Duke from Indigo:
- FE Hongtashan- 3%
- INW Tobacco Symphony- 2%
- FA Caramel- 2%
- TFA 5% Acetyl Pyrazine- 1.5%
You may notice the ELR and reddit version had AP at 2%. That’s how I originally had it, and it works just fine that way, but I eventually started mixing it at 1.5%, so that’s how I put it on ATF. Not a huge difference, but I figure it’s worth noting. Pick your poison.
VCT from Ripe Vapes:
- TFA Bavarian Cream- 1.5%
- CAP French Vanilla V2- 2%
- TFA Toasted Almond- 1.25%
- FE Tobacco Absolute- .5%
- TFA Turkish- .5%
- CAP Vanilla Custard- 5%
To make it a little truer to the original, you’ll probably want to swap the TFA Toasted Almond for 2% CAP Toasted Almond.
Tripoli from Charlie Noble:
- FE Cigar- 2.5%
- FW Fig- .5%
- TFA RY4 Double- 4.5%
- CAP Sugar Cookie- 2%
- TFA Toasted Almond- .8%
- TFA Turkish- .3%
- CAP Vanilla Custard- 1.5%
As close as I could get without losing my mind.
Can't forget SlashaLO's clone for Cuttwood's Unicorn Milk
MFG|Flavor|% :-:|:-:|:-: FW|Butter Cream|1.5% FW|Graham Cracker|0.5% CAP|New York Cheesecake|0.5% CAP|Sweet Cream|1.5% CAP|Sweet Strawberry|8.5% CAP|Vanilla Bean Ice Cream|1% CAP|Vanilla Custard|3%
Best VG: 70%
Steep Time: 30 days
Oh wow haha. Nice to see this here. I don't pay attention, but good to know people know this exists ;)
Thanks for sharing it, Cuttwood's Unicorn Milk was one of the first liquids that I sought out regularly when I started vaping, so it was a nice step back in time.
I've never had Cutwoods Mega Melons. But Ive read several times that Mike's Melons on ELR is a good clone.
-
TFA-Cantaloupe 5%
-
TFA-Papaya 5%
-
TFA-Mango 5%
I've never had the original either but I've tried this recipe. For me it wasn't great, far too much papaya and TFA mango isn't that good. It was much better, for me, with 2-3% papaya instead. If I was to mix it up again I'd also swap out the mango for something like FLV Mango
Gotta be Watermelon Crack
Flavor|% ---|--- Watermelon LA|9.5 Jungle Juice FW|4.5 Hard Candy FW|3 Watermelon FW|1.5 Marshmallow TFA|1.25 Cool Mint CAP|0.25
9.5% of any single flavor seems pretty ridiculous.
Read the development notes, this is sort of addressed.
You can see the first post here and the second post here. The post linked in my comment is the third and final post.
> It's found in a very abundant amount, and I don't think I have to justify this one if you've tasted it before.
That...doesn't really address it to me. But I've never had the commercial juice, so maybe it's just like that. I'm not really a fan of most commercial juices.
My favorites would have to be a couple that I found on this subreddit, and tweaked to my personal preference
Nana Cream Clone
(LA) Banana Cream - 3%
(INW) Cactus - .3%
(TPA) Dragonfruit - 1%
(TPA) Quince - 1.5%
(TPA) Strawberry - 4%
(TPA) Strawberry Ripe - 2%
(CAP) Super Sweet - .4%
Placid Clone
(INW) Cactus - .75%
(TPA) Honeysuckle - 4%
(FA) Lime Tahity (CP) - 1%
(TPA) Pear - 4%
(TPA) Strawberry - 4%
(CAP) Super Sweet - .2%
6.0% TFA DK Base
5.0% TFA Banana Cream
3.0% TFA Banana Nut Bread
1.0% TFA Bananas Foster
3.0% TFA Peanut Butter
0.3% TFA Koolada
0.2% TFA Coconut Extra
0.3% TFA Smooth
1.0% Strong Mint/Menthol Concentrate
The clone that started Bigglesworth Labs (maybe? idk). This juice underwent revisions and later became Tundra or Snowdrift or whatever it's called these days. The original Nanner/Polar Bear juice is no longer available. I probably vaped this for a year straight and still make it relatively often.
Worth noting he uses axiom icicles as the menthol/mint in snowdrift. And I vape the shit out of prairie, finishing up a 500ml batch soon and have another in the closet.
​
I'm not the biggest fan of this liquid but it's very popular here in the UK. I've mixed this up and it's very accurate to the Dinner Lady version.
​
May also be worth a note that FW Lemon Meringue Pie used in this recipe is one of the concentrates that contain sugar.
Been a while since I vaped this, but it's a horrendous coil gunker from what I remember. I suppose that makes sense with so much sweetener and actual sugar in it.
Yeah I was excited to mix this when I first tried it a couple of years ago, but the sweetener and burnt sugar taste, plus it's coil destroying properties turned me off big time.
I'd skip this honestly.
Boss Reserve from Folkart

|MFG|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |TFA|Acetyl Pyrazine 5%|1| |TFA|Banana Cream|1.5| |INW|Biscuit|.25| |FLV|Milk & Honey|1.5| |CAP|Super Sweet|.25|
This is a very good and fairly close, those not exact, clone. This very much scratches the itch if you are looking for this profile. Very happy with it.

Titanic from /u/ID10-T

|MFG|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |CAP|Apricot|4| |CAP|Gingerbread|2| |CAP|Graham Cracker|4| |CAP|Juicy Peach|2| |CAP|Sweet Tangerine|1|
This is very good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the ginger is a tad too light vs the original, and the tangerine too high. But I have made this remix several times and very happy with it.
I have to add the Lava Flow by naked remix by u/chrisdvr.
Me and the wife vaped approximately 1 litre of this juice already and it never gets old.
Lava Flow Remix
- FA Coconut @ 2%
- CAP Golden Pineapple @ 3%
- FW Strawberry @ 5% (4% for my liking)
- CAP Super Sweet @ 0.5% (0.25% for my liking)
- FLV Sweet Coconut @ 3% (2.4% for my liking)
