I have been working for a while on building up my own fruit loops/pebbles flavor. After a lot of trial and error I have the fruit notes down where I want them but am having trouble getting the cereal/milk notes to come out. Any suggestions on what to change to get that to come out?
The recipe as it stands so far is as follows:
Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA) 0.50%
Bavarian Cream (CAP) 2.00%
Berry Cereal (TPA) 2.00%
Crispy Rice Cereal (FW) 1.00%
Fruit Circles (TPA) 2.00%
Fruity Flakes (FW) 3.00%
Marshmallow (CAP) 1.00%
Meringue (FA) 1.00%
Orange Creamsicle (CAP) 1.50%
Sweet Strawberry (CAP) 1.50%
Sweetener (FW) 0.25%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (CAP) 3.50%
Vienna Cream (FA) 1.00%
​
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I mix all my recipes at Max VG. Don't even own any PG.
As made popular by the fourth horseman recipes
2% Sweet Cream (CAP)
1% Vienna Cream (FA)
This is in addition to the mentioned above cereal flavors for a cream base.
Fourth horseman has been my favorite cereal fruity peebles/loops recipe as well as an old ANML -looper clone.
If it were me, I would remove strawberry, orange creamsicle, rice crispy, marshmellow and VBIC..seems like to many things fighting to be king of the hill.. like a hybrid amalgam of cereal flavors.
and up the fruit rings a bit, as well as get Oba oba, and even sprinkle some cereal 27 in there. Totally up to you though.
Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try. Not really a fan of the fruit rings at it's base. It tastes too much like lemon pledge. I actually added the strawberry and orange to balance that out and give it a more fruity finish and remove the chemically flavor.
> he strawberry and orange to balance that out and give it a more fruity finish and remove the chemically flavor.
The fruit rings silverline series is pretty authentic, i'd let it steep a bit if its tasting like pledge, but strawberry doesn't have a place in cereal fruit loops (that I remember) and the cream/orange is gonna clash with the existing flavors and the citrus might null other flavors and the sweetner in the orange cream might not mix well with the otherwise clean base. Don't forget that fruit loops doesn't really have a fruit flavor, its a cacography, or a trick, they all taste the same. The lemon pledge taste is a common after effect because the one-shot of fruit rings has lemon in it and it needs to calm down.
Nice man! As a fellow cereal lover I’ll share the one I landed on after chasing the perfect fruit loop type flavor maybe it will help inspire yours. Taste is subjective so what I prefer might not work for you but I like vanilla custard instead of the VBIC.
Cereal 27 cap: 3%
Creamy milky undertone ooo: 1%
Fruit circles SL: 8%
Fruit rings FW: 3%
Lemon meringue pie cap: 1.5%
Sugar cookie cap: 2%
Super sweet cap: .5%
Vanilla custard v1 cap: 3%
High in flavor but I felt it worked well for my tastes hope it might be useful
Thats Capella Silver Line Fruit Circles, right? I swear that flavor is so close to being godly. It's just so light so it makes sense to mix it with other fruit rings/circles. For anyone that hasn't tried it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking it out. I sometimes get hints of PEBBLES by notcharlesmanson and its pretty damn close too.
This is the second time I've heard good things about that flavor. I'm going to have to pick some up. thank you rlockrem32 for your recipe take. I don't have VC v1, only v2. would you recommend i pick up some v1 or do you think v2 would work? I also am not a huge fan of VBIC.
One flavor I thought was super similar to PEBBLES was ooo fruity flakes just tasted like the fruit flavors combined was in love with it for a minute but didn’t scratch the itch for what I was looking for would use it if I was trying to make a more fruit pebbles mix and build around it most of one on ones stuff is trash but that one was decent
Thanks for sharing this! I've been working on different versions of a similar recipe for a while. Never thought of using both Fruit Rings and Fruit Cirlces! I've been doing separate versions thus far. And the Lemon Meringue Pie, I'll bet that really boosts and modulates the overall lemon nicely.
Great stuff, I'll let ya know what I end up doin.
Lemon, you need so much lemon that it smells like floor polish until it has finished steeping.
If OP is like me it never stops tasting/smelling like floor polish!!
I actually was trying to tone out the lemon... It was tasting like floor polish. When I added the strawberry and orange creamsicle that balanced it out nicely and gave it more of the fruity taste. Fruit circles is very lemony... It smells like lemon pledge and tastes like it too... 🤢
I had a similar variant that wasn’t too bad. Ditched fruit circles for FW Berry Crunch and and a few drops of INW cactus. Also I found doing 50/50 blend of TFA dragon fruit and TFA Bavarian Cream makes an interesting and much easier base for a lot of cereal flavors if you’re feeling experimental.
I found tpa fruit circles to pledge-y no matter the steep and have found fw fruity flakes far superior (although those are the only 2 fruit loop/pebble flavors I've tried. Need to try the cap SL version)
Here's one I mixed recently that I found pretty delicious:
-TPA Berry (Crunch) Cereal @ 2% -FA Cream Fresh @ 1% -FW Fruity Flakes @ 2.5% -CAP Lemon Meringue Pie @ 1.5% -TPA Rice Crunchies @ 1.5% -CAP Sweet Cream @ 3% -TPA Toasted Marshmallow @ 1%
I add 1 drop of Cap Super Sweet per 10ml.
I think MaxVG is the issue. I’ve not taste a single cereal flavor at MaxVG that can hold a candle to Telos Milk/Looper ejuice.
