@cjp1984 Welcome to ELR!! Did you have a recipe for the Killer custard? Or the lemon version? I have mixed several from the recipe side and some are close but sadly most are missing something. Curious minds would love to know!

missing on the lemon, maybe should add lemonade to juicy lemon? most of the lemons come out like rind bitters, definately havent figured it out but will try , on another note, the real mccoy, when i taste a bit on the tongue, should taste like my cloned , correct? well the taste of the mccoy def. tastes bad! I AM STUMPTED

I have tried Juicy Lemon (CAP) with Lemon Juicy (JF) and Lemon Sicily (FA) the combination of the 3 make a bolder juicy lemon but when added to the KK it kinda goes south. I’m still playing with the percentages trying to find a balance between the Lemon and Custard. Which Brand of Lemonade have you tried? I haven’t tried any Lemonades yet!
IMHO when doing a clone or remix you should be left with something that is close or BETTER than the original. I kinda got side tracked on this one. Have been working on a boss reserve lately!
Keep us posted on what you come up with.
@viva Just wondering, since your a fan of the lemon custard. Have you tried the Dinner Lady Lemon Tart? It’s a killer juice and it definitely hits that lemon note!
Hi Mike, haven’t tried any lemonades or lemonlimes flavors as of yet. I’ve tried combos of lemon usually 2 to 3 at a time , because of a theory i’ve heard that the fruits or citrics fade over time with the custards, each time I tried using both CAP juicy lemon, and Cap lemon meringue pie v1 and/or v2, along with one of these: CAP italian lemon sicily,FA lemon sicily, INW lemon concentrate, INW Shisha lemon, TFA lemon, None have stood out as a must, really, but i have been adding to this recipe : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2381775? which i’ve even doubled the lemon as i thnk this one is a little light on lemon.

Mike, i have heard rave reviews, havent tried dinner lady but i definately will order some when i get a chance, did you ever try the crunchy cream lemon glazed donut? i havent seen it around in about a year, but wow that was some good stuff, too!
Have you tried adding the lemon in after say 2 weeks of a 4 week steep? I found that most lemons fade after 2 weeks. Someone suggested adding it a couple weeks after during the steeping process. It’s made a HUGE difference imo.
Also, FE Lemon doesn’t fade as quickly as most others. I also read that adding Citric Acid to a lemon or citrus juice preserves the flavor and that it’s used in ALL commercially made ejuice.
I only started using it on my last mix so I can’t verify if it works or not.

Only way for me to steep a Custard. Then after several weeks, when it’s done steeping or whenever it gets to where you love the taste of it then add your lemons or Raspberries. let Sit in wherever you steep in maybe 3,5,7 days until you love it. It’s all about you and what you love as long as it keeps us away from smoking. GL to you

I do the same thing but with strawberries, if I use a “fresh” sb and like to keep that crisper flavour.
With lemons I don’t do that, however I add more then the actual percentage (based on the custard I’m using) plus layering a semi citrus to it or a bakery with citrus notes. Malic as well as citric acid won’t prevent the fade, at least in my experience.
By the time the custard steeped, the lemon blended well into it, at the right amount. However this method is for steep only, because if you would try it prior, probably never vape anything lemon again lol.
Maybe that method won’t work if cloning dinner lady, but I never tried that juice, so I wouldn’t know what kind of lemon it is or how it’s blended in that juice.

hi, yes i’ve been adding lemon later, but haven’t found the right one, the citric acid, are you talking about the supermarket kind, in the green bottle?

@viva buy some pure citric acid powder from the supermarket and mix it at 10% (1 gram powder 9 grams pg) with pg then use that in a mix at about .25% - .5% you can pair it with a little malic acid (tpa sour) if you want to bring out your fruits a little.
You can also try a little hint of lime (flv or inw both very strong) to help prop your lemon up a little.
This will help you out a little with what acids with what fruits
As far as which lemon to use that is a harder task as only you know what you are chasing. Maybe a combo of a few different ones will get you what you are after

This may help if u chose to try it, apparently not that hard to find since they make “bath bombs?” out of it (idk not familiar) Citric Acid Help can also use to clean mech mods and contacts.

I have read that and for some strange reason have never tried it! Thanks for the reminder! I have not tried the CA. Will have to pick some up and do a dilution and try it! Added the FE Lemon to my list! It is never empty, lol.
Have not tried this one, how did your remix turn out?
I mixed @SthrnMixer Lemonocity recipe,
This was a really nice vape but in his notes he mentions the fade of the lemons, I found they did fade from bold to a more mellowed Lemon flavor. He did a 2.0 version that I haven’t tried yet.
Check cookies?
I was kind of waiting for some reviews and comments on his 2.0 but I may just have to mix it up. The original was really tasty so i’m betting 2.0 will be as good or better.
Great tip along with the citric acid! Thanks for that tip!

the remix i have on crunchy cream was pretty good,zeppola really brings out the fried donut or nonna’s cake does the same. HAving trouble w the lemon part as it fades, is good for about 2 weeks tho, the raspberry version i made on aug 5, and im vaping it now and no loss of raspberry flavor ( using 2 for layers ) and 2 at least for lemons but still having lemon issues i would vape the store brand of crunchy cream lemon or killer kustard lemon 100ml in less than 2 days its just so delish and i vape pretty low wattage considering , ( 40 w )
I didn’t take the time earlier to read this presentation. Big mistake, bunch of good stuff here! Thanks again!
Im not sure if it has been mentioned but MF lemon is a very good lemon , potent and doesnt seem to fade like others ( as bad ) plus you only need a drop or two , you could also use it to enhance other lemon flavors … like woftam said though using a touch of lime behind a lemon has brought my lemon / lemonade recipes to life …

Same here bro, Lime Tahiti (Distilled) FA .25 % & lemons are nice and bright. I’ve come to grow attached to anything to do with lemons. Actually waiting on some new ones to get delivered.

Look for some powdered pure food grade Citric Acid in the Food Canning section of your Grocery Store (or just Walmart) It’s used for canning tomatoes. An 8oz jar is a few$ …also cleans the hell out of your coffee maker! …tastes just like Lemon Kool Aid powder

I have not tried vapetasia killer kustard lemon, or any commercial juice since 1/18. If you are looking for a clone to that recipe, you will not find it, not 100%.
I have made a killer lemon curd,… if you have the flavors try it, if you don’t have them, get them…
