How my mother's milk clone recipe compares to the original...

[hardimen]

Hello ECF,

I came up with this recipe based on other mother's milk clone recipe available on the internet:

CAP Sweet Strawberry 8%
CAP Vanilla Custard (original) 3%
TFA Dragonfruit 2%
TFA Sweet Cream 1.5%
TFA Orange Cream 1%
CAP Sugar Cookie 1%
TFA Bavarian Cream 1%
CAP NY Cheesecake 0.5%
CAP Marshmallow 0.5%
FW Cinnamon 0.5%
Max VG

I made this recipe without having tasted the original. I got the original today and vaped it side by side and this is my observation:

1. I think the original recipe is not made with Capella Sweet Strawberry. I did not taste that particular sweetness that is present in the Capella Sweet Strawberry.
2. The original recipe seems to have a 'sour' and 'bitter' flavor to it.
3. I also do not taste Dragonfruit on the original recipe - perhaps it's too subtle.
4. The clone recipe is sweeter and creamier. I actually prefer it over the original but don't get me wrong - the original tastes very good!
5. The clone recipe is not a clone because it tasted different from the original.
6. The original cost around $25 for 30ml. The one I make costs less than $1 per 10 ml.

The original only has 3 flavors in it. All CAP, and yep, it's sweet strawberry.

+1 on the above.

I saw a thread elsewhere from someone who claimed to actually know the real recipe (and the working practices at SB), saying he (the poster) laughs when he sees people posting complex clone recipes for it.
The three ingredients are apparently Vanilla Custard, Graham Cracker and Sweet Strawberry.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

Yup. I live just a few miles from their "warehouse" and ran into one of those "disgruntled ex-employees" myself at a B&M. He was more than happy to voice his displeasure with the SB business model with some language colorful enough to nauseate a rainbow. Lol!

@hardimen
recipe you posted is quite good, I did it myself and it is very good vape, but, as you mentioned, it doesn't have anything to do with original mothers milk

Hi, do you know in what percentages? Thx

I am afraid that I don't know the percentages, just the ingredients. I would think that Graham Cracker would only be 1 - 2% though.

Ok thanks, plz let me know if you find them.

I'm gonna get the stuff to try it this week, but I'm going to do the V2 version. No DA for me! Will let you know how it works...

 

[hardimen]

Thanks for identifying the ingredients. I will try the following combination and see how close I get.

Vanilla Custard 8%
Sweet Strawberry 5.5%
Graham Cracker 1.5%

The shop I bought MM from said it's 70VG so I'll add 15% PG to my mix.

I will try V2 Vanilla Custard too. Do you know if Capella Graham Cracker has the 'bad' stuff too? Thanks.

Thanks. You can add more PG to get more flavor I think.

The site I buy from marks it with an * so it must.

70VG so I'll add 15% PG to my mix.

It's only 60% VG.

 

[hardimen]

Thanks Hans.

Suicide Bunny juices are 70% VG. Here's Pip's quote on the SB FB page

Keep googleing... And don't trust what some juice makers say about their own products.

Odd to me how this is always such a hotly and consistently debated topic. I'm a 60/40 vaper and SB juices are noticeably more viscous than 60/40's. If SB's is not 70/30 and are more viscous with more vapor production than 60/40, then where are we left at?

 

[Hans Wermhat]

When I started DIY-ing, I discovered that what is being called 70/30 in most juices is awfully thin. My 70/30 mixes are a LOT thicker than what others label as "high VG". I had to change some recipes and thin some of my 70/30 mixes because they were too thick and wouldn't wick in my KF tanks. I have cloned 4 of the juices from my fave B&M and they swear that all their house "high VG" mixes are at least 70% VG. But after making them myself, I have to call horse spit. They are 60% VG... or less.

I'm sure that in the process of attempting to make a clone, many DIYers have come up with an eliquid that is actually better, in it's own way, than the eliquid they set out to clone.

That said, I remember when people were trying to clone Boba's Bounty......the orig. creator has said that it's actually a very simple recipe. Probably 3 ingredients is my guess.
