Alright, so I've seen a lot of discussions recently about the Cereal Killa clone and ANML Looper clones and other cereal mixes, and this happens to be one of my specialty areas and one of my favorite things to explore right now while mixing, so I was hoping to bring some of the best recipes and people chasing this dragon together in one thread to pool our collective cleverness. I'll start things off with the basics.
I think everyone is probably familiar with
jackster's Cereal Killa clone by now, and it's a good recipe, so I'll reproduce it here for those who haven't mixed it. This is his final revised version, not
his first attempt (which had AP):
Cereal Killa Clone (v2)
- Meringue (FA) - 2%
- Bergamot (FA) - 1.5%
- Orange (FA) - 1%
- Tangerine (CAP) - 1%
- Hazelnut (FW) - 2%
- Yellow Cake (FW) - 2%
- Lemon (FE) - 3% **
**Note: If you can't get FE Lemon (only ECX has it and it's frequently out of stock), the recommended substitute is TFA Lemon at 1% + CAP Lemon Sicily at 2%. That's as close as it gets to the awesomeness of FE Lemon.
The other main school of fruity cereal mixing is epitomized by recipes such as the
Tonguefuck Revision by /u/tet5uo on reddit, which is an
excellent starting point for a cereal juice. I see a lot of misinformed people posting it as a Looper clone on ELR, but it's just a original recipe that happens to make for a delicious fruity cereal w/ a splash of milk. Mix it up, play with it, have fun -- it's
delicious, especially after aging a week when the fruit circles settles down! I think Fruit Circles (TFA) gets a lot of hate from people who don't use it properly, because used judiciously it's quite effective.
Tonguefuck
- 7% Fruit Circles (TFA)
- 2.5% Berry Crunch (TFA)
- 2% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
- 1.5% Sweet Cream (TFA)
- 2% Marshmallow (TFA)
- 3% Cream Fresh (FA)
Based on these two recipes, there are nearly infinite directions you can go in. People have crafted everything from Cinnamon Toast Crunch to Apple Jacks to Oops! All Berries Capt'n Crunch to Honey Nut Cheerios to Cocoa Puffs, and more. I also found this reddit thread to be quite helpful for those on a cereal mixing quest:
Making the perfect cereal vape.
There's another recipe I feel is worth mentioning because it takes a different approach, and it's a simple mix that you can try without buying any specialized flavors (unlike the two recipes mentioned above). I don't personally think this is actually an on-point recipe for a true cereal flavor, but I've included it because it's decent, popular, and accessible. I think tweaking this could yield something good though.
Crunch Berries (by /u/slimfrinky)
- 10% Strawberry (Ripe) (TFA)
- 6% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
- 5% Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TFA)
- 2% French Vanilla (TFA) /OR/ Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
- 0.5% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TFA) [Optional]
This is getting long, so I'm going to wrap it up for now, but I did want to note that recently, /u/Badgerfacedcat posted two recipes from his cereal project on reddit as well. I haven't had time to mix them, but I gave feedback when he was working on them and I think they've got a lot of promise. His efforts center around a Cerealstone base (Hazelnut/Meringue/Yellow Cake), which he derived from jackster's CK clone. Here's the link for
his Cinnamon Toast Crunch recipe, and here's
his Crunchberries recipe.
I'd like to see what we can come up with here at VU, so I intend to add to this thread with more recipes from my own mixing log and some other good ones I've accumulated over the past year or so DIY mixing. Most of my mixing is done on reddit, where I'm a mod in /r/DIY_ejuice, but I've been trying to spend more time here on VU lately too. Hopefully you guys will join in, posting some of your favorites and your own attempts here. I know I've seen a couple interesting Golden Grahams recipes posted here in just the past month or so! Show me what you got, guys!
