They ere all TPA except the licorice, which is from LorAnn's,. I purchased them from WL. This is the first time I tried licorice. I may try other vendors too. I think it needs the marshmallow. I didn't have any other sweetener, so that is why I used that.

I will probably adjust my recipe a little, but it's not TOO bad right now.

What brand of flavorings? Especially the licorice?

I haven't tried either the absinthe, or licorice by themselves. I probably should though, that is what I normally do, but I jumped the gun making my mix. I may cut the citrus juices down a bit, and up the absinthe. It's not too bad for my first batch, but it DOES need to be tweaked.

Will give this a try... but is licorice really needed when Absinthe taste about the same? Either way, I have all the TPA flavors but not the licorice so im gunna give it a go with what I got.

To me, the TPA and FA Absinthe has extremely close tastes and smell, but they are not strong enough to really do much. I've tried 5-15%, any more and it will be almost just flavorings. The Absinthe is good, but not licorice enough, IMO.

I think you'd like LA licorice by itself. It does lack sweetness and smooth, but it is pretty good.

I can't call it Radiator Pluid, but I saw some of the "clone" recipes, so this is what I came up with.

6% Absinthe
3% Kiwi
2% Orange
2% Mandarin
2% Marshmallow
1% Licorice
18 mg nicotine
65% PG
35% VG

Mixed this up today, and I gotta say its frikin awesome! I made a 20 ml batch 50/50 blend and it was good but I added .2 % licorice and it was great. It was good enough that I turned the 20 ml batch into 100mls. Great find great find thank you for sharing!

If your not calling it Pluid then you need to name your creation

Pluid is good, haven't had any in awhile(its hard to obtain) but this is scary close imo thanks greatly again for sharing!

Pluid is an anise/absinthe based juice, to me its black licorice with tropical fruit flavor, mainly mandarin and orange. Many who don't like black licorice have tried this and fell in love with it.
