I have been vaping a freshly opened bottle of Dinner Lady Lemon Tart. And I must say I reminds me of quite a few other Lemon flavored commercial e-liquids. To be specific The ONE Lemon Crumble comes to mind. Though I am getting a different bakery note from Dinner Lady as compared to The One. Its almost more of a cookie/cereal bakery note. It is similar to the bakery note in CV Lemon Cream Wafer but more cookie like. That bakery note kind of has me stumped. I know that Cap LMP has a bit of graham crust note to it but could they be using Cereal 27, Sugar Cookie?
I feel that the lemon in DL LT is soft but punchy and I feel its likely to be Cap Lemon Meringue V1 or V2 with possibly Cap Lemon Lime for some added punch to the Lemon flavor. I really feel as if this also has a touch of Vanilla Custard do too the softness of the lemon. Anyone have any thoughts on this e-liquid?
Have you tried just cnv lcw with some pyrazine
This one’s a little older. It’s one of my ADV that I haven’t changed in a year or so.
I bump up the FA Cookie.
Yes back when I first got LCW right after its release, I tried boosting the bakery with everything from AP to FA Cookie. Unfortunately I have very little left.

This is the best i have found so far …went down the rabbit hole searching .
Im pretty sure DL Lemon Tart is made from mostly (if not all) CNV Flavorings. Lemon, Lemon Cream Wafer, Cookie, and Butter were as far as I got. It was good enough for me. I came back to it some time later and added FA Meringue to help recreate that cereal note you were talking about. But I am thinking this note may be a mix of CNV Cookie and CNV Vanilla Pudding. Unfortunately I don’t have the VP, so I haven’t tried. I also tried Lemon Orange rice candy WF, and that took it too far off course with the orange notes. Maybe I just used it too high?
Wait, I found the Recipe. I’m pretty sure the FA flavorings are not in the original, but apparently this is the recipe I thought was worth posting. The recipe is good for about 6 months before the lemon fades and turns it into something else. Adding lemon later doesn’t work. I tried.
So, if you decide to try this
I’d recommend batches smaller than 60ml. IMO, it’s ready in a week.
And now I think I will mix this up again and see if I can better it any further.
Edit: smelling my bottle of DLLT, I am thinking that the aforementioned cereal note comes from INW - Lemon Cake. I’m getting a lemon fruit loops (cereal) note for sure. Wasn’t there a fruit loops flavoring that was hated-on because it was too strongly lemon? I think if not lemon cake, that lemon-forward cereal flavor would work here.
Hard to find cnv cookie and lemon in the UK unfortunately. Nomnomz doesnt stock this anymore.
This was my go to for what you described. I wonder if someone has a recipe close to this.
or do you need?
With your cereal 27?
For the more crumble flavor.
I have some chemnovatic cookie & lemon i could spare 10ml of each if you needed some? I also have the lemon cream wafer too if you needed that?
However you dont really need them tbh, the lemon you want for it to taste like dinner ladys lemon, is INW shisha lemon, also for the crust/bakery FA apple pie + FA cookie just with those 3 you can really make somethibg close to dinner ladys, add cap golden butter to those + cap lemon meringue pie also goes well with them.
Honestly though you dont need any chemnovatic to make something very close to dinner lady.
