It does not have to be an exact clone, close would be good. This is how they describe Miss Samoa....dripTonic’s “Miss Samoa” invites you to lose yourself while you engulf your taste buds with an explosion of flavors: crunchy cookies layered with caramel and chocolate, powdered with coconut.
I am think of trying this test recipe to see what its like.
Cookie 7%
Caramel 4%
Graham Cracker 4%
Coconut Extra 3%
Cotton Candy 1%
Double Chocolate 4%

Yeah try that recipe! Those %'s look good to me! Tell us how it turns out, then tell us what adjustments you made! That's the fun with DIY - self-improvement!!
I made a test batch. I will have to let it steep for awhile before I try it. I have no idea if it will taste like Miss Samoa, but it smells fantastic!
My test batch is still steeping. But based on smell and comparing it to the smell of an empty bottle of Samoa I would say that it has too much Chocolate, Coconut and it is missing a "buttery goodness" that the original has. I will most likely have to make another test batch and change some of the flavors a bit.
I gave the 1st batch time to steep. It turned out good, very vapable. But for me there was too much Coconut and Chocolate and it needs some butter flavor. So I am making a new test bottle with a revamped recipe.
I'm having the same problem figuring out that rich buttery base. I got pretty close with graham cracker. Double Chocolate is very strong try keeping it around .75 to 1%. I have capellas coconut and use it anywhere from 2 to 8 % but it sounds like the coconut extra you have is a lot stronger. You probably don't want to exceed 20% total flavor on this one. Sometimes the more you use the less flavor you get, or it will taste like candles or perfume.
