Good morning VU,
When I just started vaping, Dinner Lady - Lemon Tart was among my top 3 e-liquids. Unfortunately, it was SO expensive for me to buy in Germany because of liquid tax. Over the course of the last year I have been dabbling in DIY e-liquid, and always had the urge to clone my favorite liquids. I lucked out on my favorite watermelon liquid because the company that makes it has finally released the aroma versions of their liquids. That just left me with the Lemon Tart challenge at hand.
I've went through countless lemon tart clones and remixes on ELR and ATF, but most of them were SO far from the liquid I know and love. Then I got lucky, and found a recipe from 2020 that was the closest clone of DLLT I've yet to try. But something was missing, and at first I couldn't put my finger on it. So I went and got an original DLLT and then got to work.
I read the ingredients list, or better to say "the safety sheet", and found the following ingredients in descending order of amounts contained within: Malic Acid, Vanillin, Citral, Acetyl Pyrazine, Lime
Malic acid comes from the FA Apple Pie.
Vanillin comes from a few different concentrates within.
Citral is contained in the lemon concentrates, and possibly in the lime.
Acetyl Pyrazine comes from the Acetyl Pyrazine.
And the lime comes from FA Lime Cold Pressed.
So now with that out of the way, I'm not sure if the ingredients I used are the same ones that Dinner Lady used, but my mix is the same color, smells identical, and tastes the same. You guys can judge whether it's an actual clone, or something else.
The recipe can be found on ATF: https://alltheflavors.com/recipe/dinner_lady__lemon_tart_2

I hope everyone enjoys this recipe as much as I do! If you do, or don't, please leave a rating and a comment on the recipe page so I can learn and further improve my mixes.
P.S. If I can give just one tip, make a one shot of this, and use at 15%. Even having the aromas together for one day before mixing is a huge help. I'd mix the one shot, let it sit for 3 days, and then mix together with nic+base.
