Looking for a clone of Transistor's Honey Crack, pretty simple Graham cracker with honey taste, and I'm guessing some sweetener in it.

I have FW Graham cracker, CAP Graham cracker, and TPA Graham cracker (clear). Also have VTA Honeycomb and several sweeteners.

Any thoughts on where to start? Never mixed without someone's recipe but seems to me I can figure this out.

If you have an elr account, you can not only put your flavors in a "stash" but see what other recipes you can make..
You can also use it to see the average range of use for your flavors by manufacture..

I only work with flavorah, but I am sure someone will come along to help.. ;)
Thanks Smoky. I do have an account and have added my flavors to my stash. I was just now looking at each of the graham cracker flavors on ELR and how others have used them. Good place to start.

Tell me more.....be as specific as you can about what you’re tasting. Spice? Cream? Does it taste darker(like brown sugar/molasses) or lighter? Anything helps.

Thanks for the offer to help @wildgypsy70. I'm such a noob with DIY, and I'm not very good at describing this. It's not very complex, primarily a graham cracker and honey profile, a little cinnamon. Fairly sweet, lighter like honey.

Transistor's retail site describes it like this "Oh that Honeycrack! Inspired by a certain crispy, crunchy graham cereal, it really is a brand new vaping treat. There is a big dollop of golden honey in this sugar flecked masterpiece." I assume they're talking about General Mill's Golden Grahams" which is described as "The taste is a mix of honey and brown sugar." so I may be tasting brown sugar instead of honey. Big help, huh?

I've mixed up 15mls of each of the graham cracker flavorings I have (TFA (clear), Flavor West, and Capella) using 5-6% flavor in a 70/30 mix with 3mg of nic. The Cap seems to taste most like a graham cracker, but I know they'll change as they steep. I have several sweeteners, some TPA Brown Sugar Extra, several creams, but no Honey. I have some Honeycomb VTA but I don't think that's a honey taste.

Sorry for the long post but this is a challenge I'd like to figure out. I've got several SFTs steeping, and I plan to go through that process to learn about flavors, but I'm impatient. I know that's not the way to go about this, but if I can shortcut this one and get lucky enough to have something vapable I'd like to try.

So should I try some brown sugar with the graham cracker? What ratio/strength would you try? Anything else you'd try?

Thanks in advance.

Is that the cherry one? Almost tried that one, never tried a cherry that didn't taste like cough syrup. Heard that one is pretty good.

Well I looked at several golden graham recipes on ELR, including one by Nick Evans. Looks like what I would have thought was a couple flavors is anywhere between 9 to 12 flavors in those recipes. Jeesh. I know a lot of those flavors are used to bring out or soften the primary flavors, but there's one that doesn't even have graham cracker flavor in it. Maybe I'm just better off following other's recipes.

I’ll think on it and get back tonight. It probably can be done in less flavors?

I would suggest going all flavorah..

.8% Graham Cracker
1.2% Milk and Honey
.12% Rich Cinnamon

if I were to make something simple based off what you posted..

Thanks @Smoky Blue, ordered 10ml of each from BCV and give it a try. Seems simple enough.


you might want to start with 1 bottle drop of rich cinnamon in 30ml..
give the mix say 3 days to sample.. 5 days for a full steep. :)
I think you will be happy with this.. if you need a fuller cracker.. add 1 drop per ml ap..
if you want it fluffier.. try adding in some flv marshmallow or mm vanilla..

Thanks for the advice. I'm mixing by weight so will follow your percentages and start light on the cinnamon, as soon as the Flavorah gets here.

Best way to mix is weight...
If you like that one.. I have a ton up on elr and I do giveaways there and on fb ;)

Thanks. I've seen a lot of your recipes and have several of them in my recipes folder on ELR to mix.

Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know how the mix goes. BCF has shipped my order so should have it by the weekend.
