Brain Freeze (Clone Recipe) by Naked
submitted almost 7 years ago by akatash23

This is a clone of the Brain Freeze eJuice by Superb.

I friend got one of these Naked juices and I found that specific one quite enjoyable. So I cloned it because I'm cheap. Here it goes (mix link):

  • 1.5% TFA Strawberry (Ripe)
  • 1.0% TFA Strawberry
  • 1.5% CAP Sweet Guava
  • 1.5% FW Kiwi
  • 1.0% CAP Sweet Cream
  • 0.5% CAP Super Sweet
  • 0.5% TFA Koolada 10% PG
  • 1.0% FW Menthol (Liquid)

According to the bottle, the main profiles in this juice are Strawberry, Kiwi and Pomegranate. I combined TFA's Strawberry Ripe (which is a more authentic strawberry) with TFA Strawberry (which has a candy-like profile) to create a strawberry-forward profile. Brain Freeze clearly has an emphasis on the strawberry.

Instead of the Pomegranate, I used CAP Sweet Guava and I found it works quite favorably. CAP Pomegranate is just not very awesome. FA Pomegranate felt completely out of place.

I chose FW Kiwi because it's one of the best Kiwis out there. It's worth experimenting combining with FA Kiwi for a more complex, layered profile. But I didn't have that flavor at hand. :(

The remaining ingredients are pretty much my standard approach for cloning these kinds of juices. CAP Sweet Cream creates a pleasant, smooth and silky mouthfeel. CAP Super Sweet achieves the sweetness a "Premium" juice demands. And The Koolada/Menthol combination adds coolness without changing the flavor profile too much.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Nice job. I rather enjoyed this one as well, always found it had too much menthol for my tastes so maybe I'll down grade it a smidge (was never into cooling until I got into DIY)

I'm currently shopping some new flavors (browsing chefsflavours) and all i can find are "FW Natural Kiwi" and "FW Menthol (Natural)". I'm unsure if these are the correct flavours. I would really like to give this recipe a try because it sounds yummy!

I believe the Menthol is the correct one (and honestly it should not matter much which brand you get). But there are two Kiwi's, FW Kiwi and FW Kiwi Natural, and they are different. You can try to substitute with FW Kiwi Natural, or you can get the King of Kiwi, FA Kiwi, and see how that works out.

These juices are somewhat forgiving to substitutions, so you should be good.

Happy Cake Day! :)

​

I'm trying to order all from the same place and it seems like natural kiwi and strawberry kiwi are the only kiwi flavors from FW that they have. Because of the high shipping costs its hard to order a lot of different flavours at the beginning which is why i want to order from a vendor that has a much as possible. I just cant find any good vendor in EU.

Then go with FW Kiwi Natural or see if they have FA Kiwi.
