@Lord Vetinari I edited my post tfa and cap
Kinda like a Hertzog cookie without the base.
Hey anybody managed to make a Hertzog cookie yet? Id buy that by the litre.
I know them as "those things you get from the Pantry that look like McDonalds" only found out recently what they really are called lmfao...Actually the real confectionary is called a "macaroon" or "macaron" - technically macaron is the correct term
Looks like a killer balance. Might just need to up percentages a tad for low wattage tanks but looks like a killet mix for dripping. I will try it!
Mmmmm, I been working on a chocolate donut recipe but won't share it if I get it right because it will be very close to a certain Debbie who Does like to do Donuts
I'm close but cant replicate that dry cocoa chocolate taste that the original has. I still buy the original even though I have a recipe that tastes close to me.
Lol, do you have World Wonders' actual recipe?
Because I don't see how posting a recipe which happens to be the same flavour type, would be standing on anyone's toes.
I just want your recipe though, so maybe don't listen to me lol

Lol... this is an amusing subject though.
Look at DDD, I reckon it's one of the highest selling juices in ZA, DESPITE there being a great chocolate donut DIY recipe openly available.
Then in the US, despite there being a shit load of good Placid clones, Placid is apparently still a high selling juice.

Do you think their juices sell so well because their cloned so much? Or is it because the clones aren't quite up to the original?
I think it's a bit of both.
I reckon all the buzz about folks trying to clone your juice, is "marketing" for you.
And I know I struggle to make a juice type, like a commercial one I like, so I end up buying it.
All I know, if I was selling a juice, and people were trying to clone it, I would not be upset at all.

Sort of like free advertising and good advertising at that. I know I bought DDD solely because everyone was raving about it.
First thing I did was go out and bought a 30ml bottle and found out for myself.
So I can definitely see that working for the mixer in a good way, everyone's talking about cloning your juice and if everyone wants to clone it then it's testament to how good it is.
The only way to tell how good a clone is, is to sample it alongside the original - more sales for the mixer
I reckon juices sales aren't too affected by clone recipes because DIY is only a tiny fraction of the market, even though we DIY types like to think otherwise
Other way around. I think they get cloned so much because they sell so much. A juice needs to be pretty good for people to want to go through the trouble of trying to clone it. Also juices will always sell if they are good regardless if there is a clone, because most people don't DIY, and most DIY'ers don't buy juice often anyway. We're not the market, the general vape juice consumer is.
@Ezekiel and @rogue zombie - Think it was one of those juice makers, when releasing one of their recipes of a juice still on the market, that said it is two separate markets (in essence) and they had no fears that releasing the recipe would affect their sales.
Yea I remember skiddlzninja released his whole range on DIYorDIE's podcast using that argument. DIY'ers gonna DIY and everyone else still buy.
Officially now on my MUST try list thank you!!! Thats right I remember you reviewed it. Totally slipped my mind wow.
Or you can do what Molinshop does: sell juice AND the concentrates it is made from. Moliq kicks ass too. Been wanting to bring in some Molin concentrates but the ones I want are pppprrriiiiiccceeeeyyyy... All RY4 fans HAVE to try their Delight it is amazing (to me at least)...I reckon juices sales aren't too affected by clone recipes because DIY is only a tiny fraction of the market, even though we DIY types like to think otherwise
As a case in point I have made so many Bronuts variations... and always used Debbie as a reference so I didnt end up in a too similar place.
So in cloning Debbie and then trying to move away from it I paid for and vaped 5 bottles of Debbie. In weeks.
It is like a self suataining feedback loop. Mixologists have nothing to fear from even rampant cloners. In the end, we still remain juice-mad. And buy.
Yeah, I understand completely that the sales of a juice is unlikely to be greatly affected by somebody cloning it. For me its just the forum street cred. I mean, suppose I post a recipe for @Mike 's Lime Party, which Ive been trying to clone (for my own purposes, and mostly for fun) without even a smidge of success. @Mike is a fairly active guy on the forum, and if I post a recipe which is in the same ballpark as his original recipe, I'd feel so bad that Ill probably pull out of every thread he is active in and avoid him like the plague at Vapemeets. You get me? If the vape scene in SA was bigger maybe it would be different.
That said, my Hertzoggie recipe isn't a clone of Table Mountain - I havent had that juice for 8/9 months, so it is probably very different. Much like my Lime Party clone and the actual Lime Party. So Ill post it sometime tomorrow morning
