Takes around 2-3 weeks to steep, a very close recipe in my opinion. It has more of that pop-Cornish/slight cardboard smell Looper has most clones are missing, but I cannot find that missing sweet caramel aroma. Still very nice regardless. Any input greatly appreciated!!
20/80 VG is very important to this recipe as I find more PG can leave it with more of a perfume taste and smell, even after longer steep times.
If you are more susceptible to perfume tastes, you could try your own steeping method. I eventually put my juice in crock pot for 4 hours and came out excellent after 2 weeks.
Sorry guys, both the dairy milk and cream fresh I find are vital to the milky fruity exhale. You could try subbing tho, ive tried many combinations and nothing works quite like this recipe.
I saw your post on Cheesebanana's looper-esque cereal recipe. I'm going to try yours next. CB's version tasted too lemony pledgy for me. Didn't like it. Why do all the super good flavors have to be a PITA to figure out? haha. I will post back what my results are - gotta order up a couple ingredients you have listed. I'll report back in a few weeks, good or bad. Thanks for the recipe regardless...someone will nail it eventually, unless they're using some kind of witchcraft in their recipe.
No problem. Slight update guys, I opened a bottle I've been shaking daily for 14 days and it still has a slight perfume hit.... so I put open in a crockpot bath for 4 hours, replaced lid and shook for a bit. Tried it today and what an improvement.
I'm quite suceptable to purfumey tastes when others can't taste any to be honest, also I always taste pepper in custard mixes, maybe a good idea to crock pot or steep a bit longer according to your own taste.
Thank you very much!! Very happy you like the recipe. I am currently working on a more accurate clone of Looper and have completely gone back to the drawing board to hopefully crack it. This clone is nice tho, its just not quite there.
just opened the bottle after two weeks of steeping, Beautiful after a little breathing. thanks again John. I will follow your experimental version. I do agree something is still to be found there but I have confidence it will happen soon. In the meantime just stick to this recipe ! and once it's done, we still have anml fury to figure out. Anyone got the chance to try it out ?
Thanks guys, really appreciate your good feedback. I have a bottle of Fury on its way, ill let you know what is like, if its good ill defo try and clone it. I also have made a pretty good clone of carnage. Im yet to put it up.
Bottle of fury just arrived and wow! Very nice juice. It's thick and quite clear. A very unique taste, sort of dark carimel, coffee, vanilla, coconut type taste. Very honey nut loops like. Don't really get any creams or milk. I can't quite place the inhale tho, but very nice indeed. Filippo Has defiantly done it again!
A little perfume after the 2 weeks. I let sit open overnight and we have a winner! Very similar to looper, loving this juice. Hopefully the experimental version is good. Thumbs up!
Aye, a believe so. I found before that the recipe was a little too perfumy. After some breathing juice turns out good anyways. Defiantly prefer the experimental version, although that one is subject to many changes.
I just mixed this one up minutes ago, and it's pretty great right off the bat. I have not had Looper, but since I have heard that it is great, and since I like cereal-milk style vape juices, I wanted to give this a try. If this even improves with steeping, it is great. Luckily, for me, I don't know the difference so it's a five star juice in my book. I have had Rainbow Nuggets, and this is kind of like it, which is a good thing.
I can't fathom why you would want to give this a croc pot bath with the lid off...doesn't that technique really take away much flavor? I made this a few days ago and will wait a month
17 days old and it's killing me that I can't try it for a few more days. I'm gonna give it a full 3 weeks steep. it definitely smells different from joeninja808's looper recipe
ok I couldn't hold out and had to try it...this is way way different from the other looper clone I mix. I really don't know what to think of it and can't really figure out the flavor profile its so different. I'm wondering if the AP is what's making the taste off
well after giving this new coil time to break in its pretty damn good. I think the fruit circles could be raised abit and AP lowered a hair but still it's really smooth
I made this for a friend of mine who has purchased easily 50 bottles of Looper, and he has already asked me for a second 120 ml bottle. Keep in mind he just got his FIRST 120 ml bottle yesterday! You have absolutely nailed this juice. I love it, he loves it, everyone loves it! You rock John! Thanks!
Very high praise indeed, thank you. Im glad many like this recipe. I myself make and sell many bottles of ejuice and this one is in the top 5. Happy vaping!! Still working on the experimental recipe, but clones take soo long to perfect.
Very nice clone. close to looper but its kind of missing the sweetness of the original looper. I was gonna try adding a bit of Ethyl Maltol but not sure yet how it would taste like. Its nice regardless. Mine did not make the 3 weeks steep. Lol
The flavor is dead on, but the taste is not.. it isn't AS flavorful or sweet as the original, but the flavor profile is the same... argh it's maddening. It's like being teased instead of blown. Fantastic job on the recipe, I just wish I knew how to make the flavor come out more as well as the sweetness without making it taste like sugar vape.
John King, I'd like to get your opinion on another recipe in this category. It's a bit of a different take, and I adapted it from one of NotCharlesManson's recipes. I think it hits pretty well on some of the flavor notes of Looper, so perhaps it could give you some ideas for your own recipes. I hesitate to post the link because I'm not trying to spam my recipe, so if it bothers you, just let me know and I'll delete my post. But I'm trying to help out the DIY community, and that's the spirit with which I'm posting my link. e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/843560/Pebbles+Too If you have a chance, please try a small batch and let me know if it helps.
I'm not sure what has happened but this recipe has changed on me, it used to be my favorite and now after taking a month break from it and putting in a fresh coil I'm getting a popcorn taste and smell...very disappointed since this was my favorite...maybe I should try a different bottle with the same recipe...tastes like it's been contaminated
If I have marshmallow from FlavourArt, how much can I use?
Also, I have fruit rings FW instead of the one you are using. Can I replace it? If so, what percentage should I use?
Is it ok to use DX-Bavarian Cream at the same percentage?
Used 100% Nicotine at 3mg. Did 50/50 VG/PG and right after making it, tastes EXTREMELY close to Looper. Just made 120ml batch and going to let it settle to see how steeping turns it out. Right now, it's delicious.
Just mixed some up and tasted it, it's bland and has no fruity flavour at all. Is this normal? Does it take a long time for the flavour to develop? Or have I done something wrong?
The reason it's such a hard recipe to master is he uses his own extract in this particular juice, I would not be surprised if many of his others are going to go the same way, even if he only uses one of his own flavour extracts it's enough to stop anyone cloning it exactly lol, his grand reserve is amazing but no one has a clue how to make it
@ John-King-200985: I added 1% {FA) Caramel and it's definitely a gorgous vape. As you say, it's gotta steep. I gave it a month and loved every ml of it. Well done.
Thanks everyone!! I am still working on a better version and have been for almost a year. Looper is the holy grail of ejuice for me. Some areas of this mix are lacking in key notes IMO. Will release my new recipe soon..
Im experimenting with fw yellow cake, some sugars, and strawberries surprisingly..fa cream fresh, yellow cake, fa caramel, tfa brown sugar,sweet and ripe strawberry, fruit rings, and lemon meringue pie...
The new recipe is finally up and ready to go!! Loophoria. Takes the original Looper and puts a bit of a spin on it. Love this stuff, feedback appreciated!!
I've never had Looper but wanted a good fruit loop type vape. This wad in my "what can I make" section so I whipped it up. Even as a shake n vape this is spot on cereal and milk. I can't wait to see how this is after a couple weeks! Also just saw you have a newer version, will have to grab a couple more ingredients and try that one as well.
never try ANML Looper, only ANML Unleashed beast and Reaver which is my favorite eliquid. And today i try to make this, after shake and vape it's like 100% MAX POWELL from FRISCO VAPOR
Add 1% FW Hazelnut and .5% FA Almond and this is amazing!!!
I also like subbing the TFA Sweet Cream with Cap Sweet Cream instead, it makes it more creamy.
That's everyone for taking the time and effort to make, edit and comment your opinions on this recipe! This recipe was a true labour of love! Took many months of trial and error!! Haha
That sweet caramel note you are missing... Could it be a "TFA Dulce De Leche" note ? Or some other Dulce de leche aroma for that matter... i dont know, just a tip. Could maybe be it ? I just know some vendors are happy to use dulce de leche you see
I'm diggin this mix - for sure. I just mixed up a 30ml test batch yesterday and I can't set it down. It won't make it 2-3 weeks. I saw your new recipe - that's next but I'm still going to mix up a 60ml and give it a good steep. Great job on this one!
WOW! Slow clap!
Followed the recipe, 1 week of steep time in and it tastes delish!
Unsure it the bottle will make it to 3weeks steep time before i vape it all. Super yummy!
Fruit circles really needs to breath...(I replace it with fruit rings) its got that lemon pledge thing going on. the cereal milk part is missing hazelnut at 0.5. It really sets the cereal milk part off. Fa Breakfast Cereal adds
grain to the tpa crunch berries. They go great together. Those are my adapts.. It turned out great..ty for the recipie...cheers
I didn't taste the original but this taste just like lemonade. No cereal, no dairy, no cream. Just may be little cheesy lemonade. Anybody could give me an opinion? Is there any problem with my TFA fruit circles or is it what it is, just sicillian like lemon flavor?
By the way this recipe far better than "Lemon Tart V4", if I want to make some lemony stuff I'd definately chose this recipe, thank you.
@B.E.E. If you read through the comments, you'll see that you need to give the juice time to steep. If you find that after 21 days, it still tastes like sour lemonade, maybe try adding between 1% and 1.5% ObaOba. That'll definitely tame it down.
Edit the NAME..... this is 100% SPOT ON! Great work I vaped a shit ton of Looper a few years back and this is exactly what I remember right off the mix.... I was conservative only mixing up 100mls.... And sub'd tpa Marshmallow... but I'm going to mix up a GALLON as soon as I get Capella Marshmallow. EXCELLENT WORK and THANK YOU! ....New Adv!
This is the best fruit cereal recipe I’ve mixed thus far. I mixed your recipe up and let it steep for more than a month and it is amazing. Not overpowering like most are to me. This is just right. Great work.
Never had the original but I do love cereal vapes. This is probably the best one I have ever tried even out of the b and m shops. Very tasty and very well balanced. Good job.
Awesome Recipe Bro!! Good after shake but I'm gonna let it steep for 2weeks and give it another go! The best recipe I've mixed up by far as far as these fruit loops with milk goes! Creamy and Fruity! Thank You!!
This is an AWESOME recipe. just made this on the 7th of September 2018. its been sitting a little over a month and its AMAZING. I personally think its better than Looper. It is dead on Fruit Loops Cereal. Its nutty cereal flavor combined with the fruity lime is incredible. SPOT ON FRUIT LOOPS WITH MILK better than Looper.
Ok i gave this recipe 5 stars years ago and rightfully so but i just bought a 60ml of Looper on a whim and im convinced that TFA Fruit Circles is not in the OG. I believe its FW Fruit Rings and the AP needs to be lowered alot...Im not even sure it in it.
Subbed the TPA Sweet Cream with FW, the CAP Marshmallow with TPA, and the Acetyl Pirazyne with 10 drops of FA Cookie. As a shake and vape is delicious, a very milky and sweet version of froot loops, not harsh as others. Delicious. Let's see if I can wait 2-3 weeks
I made this with 6mg and 50/50, tried it after one day of making it and it tastes just like fruit loops and I don't get a perfume taste. Thank you for the awesome recipe :)
I am very honoured that many Vapers are satisfied with my recipe!! Keep on mixing, tokin' and enjoying all the recipes created by devoted mixers! We are all in this togethor. Thankyou everyone for your input! Kind regards. John
I've been DIYing for about a year and a half now due to access issues in the state I live in. After reading all of the above reviews/discussion, I made 500 mL of this recipe to spec like 4 days ago. Let me just say from day one oh my gosh the smell coming from the bottles is amazing. I put it in my vape cabinet to sit and steep but everyday I check the bottles just to smell them as the smell is super enticing. I will be letting them steep for the recommended 2-3 weeks; however, after steeping for 4 days I got a bit impatient and had to try it. Honestly this could be an ADV as it currently stands and will be an ADV. Although I've never had ANML Looper personally (which is kind of surprising since I was on a cereal vape kick for a long time), I've had many many fruit loops vape juices. This by far is better than any fruit loops vape juice I've had throughout my years of vaping. The initial exhale immediately takes me back to being a kid eating cereal at the table and it's followed up by creamy goodness. Thank you so much John for putting this recipe together. It is absolutely amazing and I will 100% be making huge batches of this juice into the future!
I just testing my 3rd batch of this recipe and i don’t really like it. The best one is at 9% flavor but all i can taste is nutty flavor. I was hopping for a nice fruit loops recipe. I will looking elsewhere. :/
I have tried a few cereal flavors in the past but was never crazy about any of them. A friend asked me to mix a Fruit Loops flavor for him and this one seemed to be one of the most popular. I mixed up 120 mL for him and 120mL for me (he prefers higher nicotine levels than me). I mixed at 70/30 VG/PG just because that seems to be a sweet spot for me. I must say I was surprised by how delicious this is, even as a SNV. I will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation.
Many thanks to you, good sir, for an excellent recipe!
Good mix, but not really a "spot on" clone. It tastes much more like Crunch Berries than Fruit Loops, and as I was searching for a Fruit Circles dominant mix, I am a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, after a week this mix is tasty A F! I want to give it 4 stars due to the title, but I'll leave it at 5 because of how tasty and smooth it is. Thanks John.
Thanks dude!
