DIY Ez duz it on ice Ruthless clone ejuice recipe

#1 by cpkcpk, Mar 4. 2017, 19:13

Got everything for this except the Triethyl Citrate, does it make much difference? Does it need a steep? Been trying to clone this juice for ages!

#2 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 4. 2017, 19:28

I would just leave it out. No steep necessary.

#3 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 4. 2017, 19:29

Also, I'm using 10g/90ml ws-23 dilution so adapt to suit.

#4 by cpkcpk, Mar 4. 2017, 19:50

Just made 30ml, closest recipe I've tried so far, cheers! CAP Sweet Strawberry is a bit overpowering, will try reducing that and upping the Watermelon Candy. I still feel like there's something in the original that's missing, can't figure out.. maybe another watermelon or something sour.

#5 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 4. 2017, 19:54

Don't change the strawberry. Over a couple of weeks it dies down and the watermelon comes out.

It's years since I've tried the original so I wasn't really after making a clone exactly, just something that's closer than the other recipes out there.

#6 by cpkcpk, Mar 4. 2017, 20:02

Cool, will let it sit for a bit. It's definitely closer than the other recipes. Just got the drip hacks ws-23, love it.

#7 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 4. 2017, 20:29

It's good stuff isn't it. I'm all over it like a tramp on a bag of chips.

Made this yesterday and substituted Triethyl Citrate with TPA Dragonfruit (has also Triethyl Citrate in it), its fucking amazing :)

#9 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 6. 2017, 22:44

It does indeed Wodde - Dragon fruit will do the same job in this instance.
Thanks man.

#10 by Richiev, Mar 7. 2017, 22:25

only mixed this today so I'm sure flavours will change slightly but I am loving it never tried the ruthless juice but it reminds me from memory (as I haven't tried for about a year) of the twelve monkeys kanzi but with koolada which is one of my favourite juices. I was a little worried about 2% ws23 as I'm a bit of a soft lad but works really well very impressed

#11 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Mar 8. 2017, 13:00

Thanks Richiev 👍🏻
Strictly speaking it's only 1% ws-23 as I mix my ws-23 at 10%.

#12 by Andynjess1 , Apr 20. 2017, 11:55

Took a chance on this as i wasn't a fan of melon in vapes but glad i did as the combination works a treat a delicious refreshing fruity cool vape n also mixed yesterday so can only improve 😉😉

#13 by Fondle Rump, May 12. 2017, 11:02

Made 2 50ml bottles of this last night , one with koolada and one without, put them both in warm water and ultra sonic and shaked and am loving it....I did what Wodde did and used Dragon fruit and yeh its a lovely vape...really looking forward to it in few days cause think it will only get better...I'm a huge kanzi fan and this is right up its alley.

Was thinking of adding bit of sour for shits and giggles?

#14 by UK Homebrew info (18+), May 12. 2017, 11:14

Thanks fondle rump. You could add a bit of sour. I don't imagine it will have much of an effect on it but you never know. Personally wouldn't bother with ultrasonics or water baths. Just shake and leave for 24 hours. Over a few weeks the watermelon comes out. Doesn't really change much apart from that.

It's a smidge too sweet for me but when I've tried lowering the sweetener it loses its magic somehow so maybe the sour may balance it slightly, whilst retaining the magic.

#15 by Newman, Jun 14. 2017, 18:40

Mixed yesterday, vaping today. Lovely stuff! Gone though 20ml so far today. Definitely going to mix up a big batch of this. Keep up the good work

#16 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Jun 15. 2017, 14:11

Cheers Newman 👍🏻

#17 by shredd, Jul 16. 2017, 22:54

5 stars great stuff!

#18 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Jul 16. 2017, 23:00

Thanks mate

#19 by Loupo, Jul 24. 2017, 13:53

awesome recipe but i didnt use koolada neither Triethyl neither cap sweetener only tpa

#20 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Jul 24. 2017, 17:04

So.... a different recipe then 😂

#21 by rjw976 , Jul 26. 2017, 09:42

I you like kanzi then this stuff is gonna blow your mind, without doubt the best strawberry and watermelon vape out there..👍

#22 by Alex keenan, Jul 26. 2017, 17:23

Straight from mixing this juice smells and more importantly tastes fantastic. Top notch flavour

#23 by Skavenger, Aug 29. 2017, 11:58

This looks just like my recipe with shisha added also mine has cotton candy but it's not the on ice version... if u wanna check it out just click on my name.

#24 by VapenHagen, Sep 14. 2017, 23:57

This is a very nice recipe. Sweet as fuck, but enjoyable deluxe.

#25 by smok, Sep 30. 2017, 11:23

can i leave ws23 out ???

#26 by Hudmo2017, Nov 14. 2017, 20:32

Very very nice :)

#27 by Zak2017, Dec 25. 2017, 00:44

How many weeks does it take for the watermelon to come out?

#28 by UK Homebrew info (18+), Dec 25. 2017, 10:51

Watermelon doesn’t come out exactly but rather the strawberry fades. About 2 weeks.

#29 by Zak2017, Dec 28. 2017, 20:02

I changed a lot from this recipe. Still turned out great. Thanks.

These r the changes I made:
I subed in dragonfruit tpa for Triethyl Citrate
I only had watermelon tpa so used at 6%
Added 0.2% menthol
1.5% ws-23
Added .5% koolada
Added gummy to give candy taste

#30 by Zak2017, Dec 28. 2017, 20:03

For some reason I wasn't able to rate this recipe. But I give it a 5/5

#31 by Zak2017, Dec 29. 2017, 01:49

By the way, this is only after a 6 day steep. Thanks again Homebrew. this is one of my favorites now.

#32 by sdaron, Jan 14. 2018, 01:20

Bomb.. Subbed LorAnn for TPA Watermelon. DragonFruit for the Drip hacks. Used WS-23 at 30% cause I didn't read all the comments.. Still works great I just finished my last bottle of Ruthless and was sad not anymore. Thanks

#33 by Forestvapes, Jan 27. 2018, 15:53

Subbed watermelon (tpa) for FA @ 1% and triethyl for dragonfruit at same % on this one as couldn't bring myself to place yet another order when i forgot to get everything i needed! Firm favourite of mine, which is pretty big when i'm not really a strawberry fan, again i've not tried the original so cant really comment on how close it is, but a very, very good flavour regardless.

#34 by Zak2017, Feb 19. 2018, 04:45

I tried it now again after leaving it steep for another 5 weeks. It is not as cold as it was. When I first tried it at the end of December it was VERY cold. Now it is perfect.

#35 by Number23, Mar 12. 2018, 19:05

Mate, I ****ing love you. Just started DIY and my juices are so hit and miss, bought all the ingredients above (apart from Shisha) and swapped in the dragon fruit as suggested above.

I actually prefer this recipe, as the strawberry and watermelon are much more up front than on the Ruthless version. This is my new ADV and is going to save me a fortune as I was going through 10ml of the original a day at £3-£4 a go. Top work buddy!

#36 by Candyman, May 4. 2018, 09:49

This is pretty close but the original just uses just sweet strawberry cap, watermelon TPA, and watermelon candy TPA try jt and it's spot on. Also, AS DUZ IT is a 90/10 vg pg so that leads me to believe there's only 10% flavoring, unless they're using a little bit of real flavors. Try 2.5% watermelon tpa, 2.5% watermelon candy 2.5% and sweet strawberry cap 5% and it's spot on

#37 by Candyman, May 4. 2018, 09:53

The non ice version is 90/10 but the one ice is 85/10. Safe to say it's 10% flavoring and the rest menthol and they rounded it to 85

#38 by Dio, Jun 17. 2018, 10:15

amazing juice!!!!!!

#39 by Jimmynails, Aug 3. 2018, 17:07

Hi. I’ve only got cap sweet watermelon but I have all the other concentrates. Could I use this instead? Tia

#40 by Shuja Yasin, Jun 26. 2019, 10:40

I added .3% FLV Sweetness (personal preference) and dropped the WS-23 down to 1.3% because I found that it tends to overpower strawberries too high in a mix. This recipe is substantially better than the original. Same profile, just a lot more vibrant. Of the all the five star recipes I've mixed from ELR, this is firmly sitting at #1.

#41 by Jay clouds , Aug 27. 2019, 15:21

tpa watermelon is no longer available right?

#42 by DeanLord, Aug 28. 2019, 01:32

i think i bought some recently off vapeable

#43 by lok, Oct 13. 2020, 04:24

So should we add menthol or just ws 23?

#44 by Marty, Aug 29. 2021, 17:25

A very good E-juice 👍🏽 I add some polar blast as you mentioned in the comments. Thank you very much for this recipe.
