It would just be cream, EM, and dragon fruit... maybe some vanillin



I would start with this..

Fruit 14%
Bavarian Cream 2%
Vanillin 3%
Ethyl Malto 1%

This works well with most fruits.. you might need to adjust some of the percentages and you could try it with or without the Vanilin.. I don't have and dragon fruit or I'd give it a go..

My local B&M uses 20% dragon fruit and fills the bottle with whatever mg nic juice you request. They will put a few drops of EM in if you request. I use dragon fruit ejuice on top of tobacco's like 555 and Maxx. And, I love dragon fruit in DFWvapor.com Coffin Nail.

I have never tried a creamy version of Dragon Fruit...it sounds like it would be yummy.

Ecblends has a special dragon line that are basicall creamy versions of other juices... small bottles start at $2.50 or so each and use code 10020 for 20% off

I LOVE their Dragon's breath flavor and thought I would do my own DIY and try to clone it, however the Dragon Fruit flavor really overpowered everything I added.... never thought I to add sweet cream or a Bavarian cream to the mix....

THANKS!!!:laugh:

If you are still looking for a Dragon's Blood recipe clone, I posted my take on Dragon's Blood over in the Clone Recipes thread a few days ago. I think it tastes pretty dead on. Instead of having you wade through the entire thread to find it, I'll just copy/paste it here for you. Let me know what ya think if you try it!

My take on Dragon's Blood:

All flavors from TFA.

Hot water bath and steeped for 72 hours with no lid and covered with a small piece of paper towel to reduce contaminants.

Made a 3ml batch for testing, will probably make a larger batch later today.

Base Mix
PG - 40%
VG - 60%
Nicotine - 24mg
_______________________

Recipe
Base - 79%
Dragonfruit - 10%
Strawberry - 4%
Bavarian Cream - 2%
Sweet Cream - 1%
Vanilla Swirl - 3%
Ethyl Maltol - 1%

Comes out to 51/49 PG/VG; 18mg Nicotine.

Note: The PG/VG ratios are actually different on this recipe compared to my original post over in the Clone Recipe thread. I realized I had used my base mix that was a bit heavier in PG (the one I use for clearomizers), not my mostly VG base that I use strictly for dripping. Either way, these ratios in the base really does not have any effect on the actual recipe, just wanted to clarify the differences in the posts.

I made this recipe a week ago as I had almost all the flavors. I made mine 50/50 12mg and substituted the 4% tfa strawberry for 2% each capella sweet strawberry and strawberry and cream. I also added 8 drops of lorann tart and sour to the completed 30ml bottle.

The result is very tasty! Maybe a little heavy on the strawberry, I'll drop it to 3% next time as it is more prevalent than the dragon fruit. I can't compare it to dragons blood as I've never had it, but this is damned good.

I have tried most of EC's Dragon Line and all of them have a hit you in the face tart Dragon Fruit taste that overwhelms the other flavors but doesn't erase them. Dragon Leaf being my favorite. After a steep of 10 days the chemical-flowery taste is gone an it becomes a better than average vape. Blood is my second favorite although somewhat creamy for my taste.

I'm glad you liked it! Makes me feel like maybe I'm doing something right with my DIY experiments after all. :)

I've made a few adjustments to this recipe since posting. I'm always trying new things with my recipes and they just keep getting better and closer to what I originally hoped they would be. I completely agree that the strawberry was a bit much. I have been mixing this with less strawberry and making up for the missing flavor % with more bavarian and sweet cream.

I still think it's missing something that the ECBlend trademark Dragon's Blood has, but I'm determined to get it right one of these days.

EDIT: I also forgot to add that, along with the strawberry, I've been cutting back on the Dragon Fruit flavor as well. Just trying to get the creamy flavor to cut through more.

It's definitely a daily vape of mine :)

I've since tried other variants, hope you don't mind me posting about it.

The 1.5% of both capella strawberries was still a bit high, so I now use 2% of just strawberry and cream. Cap S&C is a bit more tart and creamy and works great here. I went the opposite way and increased dragon fruit to 12% for a bit more kick. I did end up swapping the tart and sour for 12 drops of lemon juice as well, it definitely makes the fruit come alive!

I've done a bit of tweaking with the creamy aspect, but they've fallen a little flat. Cap vanilla custard and tfa French vanilla deluxe add more of a custard note than I personally wanted here, so I leave your original untouched.



Again, thank you for the recipe! One of my favorites for sure :D

Is the perfumes apprentice tfa or tpa? Also I went on rtsvapes.c0m and they didn't have the ethyl maltol to complete the recipe.
Is there any other site that would have all these ingredients? So I would only pay 1 shipping price?

I got my flavors from ecig express. Their signature line are supposedly tfa. They have ethyl maltol available as well.

Hope this helps :D

I have never purchased dragons blood from any vendor so I have no idea what it taste like. But I have a buddy asking for it so I bought all flavors listed here and made it yesterday. Taste good just not sure what others taste like so I can not say if this is a good clone. But it is tasty and I did bump up the Bavarian cream to 4%.

LOVED the taste but got a little throat burn. I decreased the total flavor % with no luck. Any idea if it may be just one flavor that has the burn?
