I have been doing DIY for a few months now but have been overwhelmed with trying to reproduce one specific flavor (clone). Has anyone tried Snail Trail from Trademark E-juice. It is simply amazing. It has so much flavor that it leaves you licking your lips. It is an earl grey flavor with what the "cook" describes as "A refreshing Earl Grey tea with a twist of lime and spearmint,sure to tickle your taste buds." I have tried every combination possible and can't replicate this flavor. It seems so simple and I have replicated many others. Has anyone tried this? Any luck replicating it? Any help is appreciated.
This Recipe is making me crazy...

So I gather that it has an earl grey base note and a lime and spearmint top note. So the question is what is off the tea, lime or spearmint and what is off about it.
The best way to approach this is to ask "is it off":
1. because of flavor strength
2. because of the taste of the actual manufacturers flavoring used
3. because one flavor dominates the others
3. because it's to harsh (Caused by to much NIC or bad base ingredients)
4. because it's not wet tasting enough
5. because it's not thick tasting enough
6. because it's not sweet enough
7. Because I did not steep it or let it steep long enough
Once you isolate the problem you can hone in on the solution.

so... ironically Adam, 4,5 and 6 are my main problems. Also a little bit of number 1. I have come up much higher than usual on the earl grey flavoring (TFA) and I can't quite get it to come through enough. But... 4,5 and 6 are the big ones. The original flavor is thicker and sweeter than anything I have ever vaped. It is almost unreal. I have tried adding EM (cotton candy - TFA) and it didn't work. Maybe a different sweetener? I wish there was someone else who had tried this flavor before. If you haven't tried it... it is well worth it. One other issue I am having is working with spearmint flavoring. In the original Snail Trail... the spearmint is very subtle. When I make it, it is either overpowering or non-existent.
Maybe the TFA earl grey tea doesn't have the same flavor profile?? Have you tried it stand alone?
I have... it seems a little weak. I may have to search out a different Earl Grey flavoring. Any suggestions on what vendor?
