Notes
So I've been testing with this recipe long before I created an account and started sharing my experiments on this site.

I've tested this recipe in multiple batches and tried severeal alterations, over a couple of liters of the stuff. This is my personal recipe, altered from the one linked on the bottom, and it is tailored to my taste and preference to what gives the most tribeca feel like.

From Graham Cracker FW to Graham Cracker TPA (the normal and dark one) and from 5% EM to Cotton Candy (10% EM) TPA.

I made 4 batches: 1 with 30/70 PG/VG ratios; 1 max VG; 1 40/60; 1 50/50.

All of them with the alterations suggestd before. All there were tested with quadruple coils on a TFV8. All of them 0 mg/ml NIC, all of them in thick glass bottles with a closed cap (no dropper).

My findings:

Max VG is fine but the vapor production gained from this change ends up muting RY4 flavors and Graham Cracker, in the end it's a Bread vape, kinda nutty, not much flavor at all. Nice for an ADV but it's kinda like tribeca, except not.

30/70 is like Max VG actually, RY4D is there and there is a distinct tribeca feel to it, but it's still off, and it's not because there's brown sugar missing, it's just off and too nutty. This is the part where all the haters have to remember that this is a take from the author on the recipe, thank him for it, it's still the best clone out there.

40/60 it's the closest so far to the real thing. RY4D blends with the Cracker really nice, it's sweet, dry, tribeca like goodness. But the flavor is still not on point, it's kinda muted and the delivery is more random. Not all puffs tasted the same to me and even after a decent shake, the randomness remained a constant #nopun.

50/50 is, for me, the sweet spot. Even the colour is spot on. With high VG concentrations the color fades into a semi transparent beige. with 50/50 ratio you get that golden soft colour that resembles tribeca. The best of all is that it tastes like tribeca, has the same troat hit has tribeca and it smells just like tribeca.

I've made another 8 batches of this recipe but with added hazelnut and brown sugar. My experience is that the 4 that had the hazelnut didn't taste like tribeca at all and where to dry and earthy. The other 4 with Brown Sugar were too sweet for me and the sweetness overpowered the RY4D and punched all other flavors into some kind of mesh. Both Hazelnut and Brown Sugar where added at 1,5%. They still turn out great vapes, but they are not tribeca vapes.

Obviously there is a catch. all 12 bottles I've made from this recipe with all the alterations sat steeping for 30 days. all of them, on a closed bottle inside a cigar box with close to no humidity, in a dark and cold spot in my house. And all of them were made in glass bottles (this thing can actually melt plastic if it gets hot, remember that, I learned that the hard way with 50ml breaking a plastic bottle after a while).

So i'm no master mixer but I can tell you that the 50/50 ratio with Cotton Candy and Graham Cracker TPA do turn out a great tribeca clone, very close to the original, with a great throat hit and a lot of flavor. All my tests were made with 0 nic, but if you have to mix nicotine in this use high concentration nic 100mg and use good grade nicotine. If it gets a peppery taste, you are using the wrong nicotine.

My ADV for a long time now, and will stay that way since i've made over 500ml of the stuff.

Thank's to the original author, this recipe saved me a lot of money.

Hope my input helps you all.

looks good but I believe FA Soho is about as close as it gets to Tribeca... have you tried it?

To me Soho (FA) has a distinct toffee, almost coffee undertone to it and never actually tried mixing it in a tribeca clone.

O made this recipe in 30/11. I'll wait a little bit to try it.
